    Interesting cafe. We were searching for some gelato in Michigan since we have been craving it since we had some of the best on our summer vacation. We happened upon this place while we were on this side of town. It was pretty good. I got some sort of chocolate- hazelnut scoop with fudge, rice crispies, and vanilla cake. I enjoyed it. Since gelato tends to be a very small serving at a pretty large price, the double was small but not too small, and pricey but not too pricey. Overall it was a good experience. They had some interesting looking cakes and an espresso machine. Guests were ordering a lot of espresso that looked pretty good.

    Looking for some ice cream on this side of town, and found gelato. We hadn't had good gelato in a LLLONNNGGG time. Since the reviews were reasonable and the business was unclaimed on Yelp, then it could be legit, right? Interestingly, the ratio of men to women upon arrival was 4:1. Seems like guys enjoy drinking their espresso and kibitzing with their buddies. So obviously they also serve espresso drinks, along with other desserts, including small fruit tarts, cake, cookies, brownies, eclairs, cannolis, etc. Open space, lots of small tables inside and larger outside, comfortable temperature, bright. There was only one person working, it seemed. She was nice. Unfortunately, the tables were not wiped down, since we saw crumbs and dried up gelato on our table. But has anyone been to an ice cream shop and tables were always immaculate? Message me if you do. But, back to the gelato... At first blush, seeing that the gelato wasn't neon colors, rather muted pale, then it may be authentic. And it was. We tried chocolate, hazelnut, hazelnut-cake-whipped cream thing, and banana. Hazelnut was my favorite. Smooth, cool, and delicious. Disappointingly, the banana flavor tasted like Lafffy Taffy banana. A single scoop is 3.99; doubles 4.99. There were more size options. Overall, good gelato but cleanliness and atmosphere was ok. I recommend to take your's to go, and enjoy at a park.

    I was planning to go to dairy queen right across from Wise Guy's Bar at first but i found this place after a lil bit of research and decided to try it instead. Very nice place with many tables to sit and theres a patio outside. Theres many flavors to choose from the gelatos and best part is you can try and free sample on all of them. They even sell cakes and other italian pasteries. Im a hazelnut guy so i had to get a scoop of hazelnut and it was really good. Dolce Gelato Cafe is a fantastic place to indulge yourself with homemade natural ingredients ice cream while sipping a cup of joe. I'll definitely be back to try all of their flavors!

    Heavenly desserts, amazing gelato, and great coffee. What more can you ask for? Oh yeah, cute little umbrella tables in front to sit and enjoy your treats! And the staff here is very friendly and helpful. This is a hidden gem in Clinton Township for sure.

    First time trying the toasted marshmallow. So delicious! I love this place

    I liked that we were able to get samples. I also liked how the gelato tasted. We also got a price of the cake and that was good as well.

Super cool trendy delicious place. This new location does not offer as much as the original location, yet at least! I hope to see them grow and improve more! Their ice cream is indeed super creamy and delicious. I'm not sure if they do the syringes here, I was too excited to think of all the toppings and it being a new place and conjoined with a different place, it's confusing with the menu. I tried the butter beer but it tasted like only vanilla bean. Not sure... it was delicious though. Maybe I'll try it at the other location. Give them a try though! They're super kind

    I've been to Scoops a few times now and I keep wanting to like it... but something's always off…read more The ice cream just isn't that great. It's super melty, even right after they hand it to you. Makes me wonder if they're keeping it cold enough? It's not terrible, but definitely not my go-to. Service has been a letdown. I've gone three times and they've messed up my order every time. What's more frustrating is they don't really seem to care when it happens. No apology, no "let me fix that." Just kind of a shrug and move on. You can't go inside, so you order at the window, which is fine. Pretty standard for a small-town ice cream spot. They do have a cute little ice cream truck out front that makes for a fun photo op. It's always busy, and honestly I'm not sure why. Maybe the location? Or the nostalgia factor? Either way, I really hope they tighten things up because it could be a great little spot with just a bit more care.

    I have been to numerous ice cream parlors in the area and this one was disappointing. I arrived to…read morefind that only the window was open-no inside dining and it was a chillier than normal August night. There were plenty of ice cream flavors and the ice cream was served well chilled. The one scoop in a cup was decent size, which was good since it was relatively expensive. The thing that bothered me was that there was no entry into the shop, although it is supposedly open until 10 PM. Maybe they should have had it open, as from the window I could see the floor behind the inside counter. It was filthy, with syrup, pieces of cone and it looked like it hadn't been swept since before opening for the day. The counter was a bit better, but not as clean as I'd expect for a place that serves ice cream. That was a real turn off. It's sad, as we were excited to have a real ice cream place in the neighborhood. I might try them again, but if the floor is still so messy I'm done.
