    cappuccino with pumpkin spice - soooo good perfect foam
    Sarah H.

    Amazing cappuccino and cannoli - everything is always so good - high quality. You will remember what you try as it's always fantastic! Reminds us of the little spots in NY. So glad to have some good options in Greenville.

    IVE TRIED NOT TO FALL IN LOVE WITH THIS PLACE! It is quite impossible! The people are terrific here! Extremely friendly! It's quiet in there unless they have soccer on or something! This is the closest you will get to a REAL AUTHENTIC BAKERY ! Fresh cookies are always the win here!! The figs that are fresh are to DIE FOR! It all taste so delicious and real! I've never had a problem here ever! They run specials always and have new items! Please tell them ARI FROM YELL SENT YA! I'm there once a week!

    Love love love Dolce Italy it is a family friendly cafe. Authentic Italian pastries, food, gelato and coffee. Smiling friendly faces whenever we come!

    So good

    Really cute spot. I also appreciate their inclusion when hiring. Easy to order and so much to choose from. Everything we got was very fresh. My daughter loved the strawberry swirl cake. So delicious and savory. My only thing I wasn't crazy about was that you had to spend at least $20 or $30 I forget to use a card.

    Sfogliatelle
    Rachel M.

    Excellent for Americans who have never tried fresh pastries and goodies, so for Americans it's a 4 but if you're European or Italian it's a True 2.5 compared to what you are use to there. The nutella and pistachio cornetto were very good. The filling was good for those. Presentation was 7/10. The Sfogliatelle was sad. This is usually more crispy on the outside and filled on the inside. The prices are fair what what you can get here in America. The staff was very kind and friendly and checked on our questions.

    Met the owner's son Luis who was very friendly and engaging. His family is truly authentic Italians from Genoa. I love their Italian language and culture. Their cafe is so charming and welcoming. Love the interior colors. Very quaint! Carolina made my cappuccino and the butter cookies were delicious. They have lots of amazing cookies, Italian desserts, and eventually, as the weather gets warmer, they will offer different flavors of gelato. Definitely my kind of ice cream!!! Stop by this cafe bakery and relax for a bit and enjoy a cup of espresso or cappuccino and their savory desserts. Reminds me a lot of being in Italy!!! I'll be back!!

    Espresso Mocha

    Searching for a breakfast/coffee treat while visiting Greenville for the day, we came a cross the rave reviews of Dolce Italy. Knew immediately this is where we would stop and we couldn't be happier with our decision. Quaint little establishment with delicious authentic Italian pastries. Truly the best sfogliatelle I've ever tasted. Delicious coffee too! Very friendly staf and helpful with descriptions of choices offered. After our savory Ham & Cheese pastry, we endulged in pastries and coffee. Tried the Espresso Mocha, was fabulous... strong yet delicious! We enjoyed so much, we returned hours later before our trek back to Charlotte for a taste of gelato and a carry home tiramisu. Gelato was refreshingly perfect! Can't wait to visit again next time we're in Greenville.

    Cheaper than a plane ticket to Italy but will still make you feel like you have visited!! The most amazing Italian bakery owned locally by the most amazing Italian/Peruvian family... They have sweet treats, Italian cookies by the pound,sweet pastries, breakfast pastries, savory pastries and Arancini as well as homemade focaccia. Specialty cakes available as well

    Yum

    Honestly, I have been forever CHANGED after my first Dolce Italy experience! I absolutely love it here. Sweetest family and sweetest treats. I had bites of the gelato, a magic horn, profitterol, and a ricotta cannoli. Everything is very reasonably priced and you can even sit outside while enjoying your gelato or pastry. They are currently only open Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, but they will likely expand their hours after the summer. They have a savory pastry case as well that includes cipollina, arancini, and more. Never mind the coffee drinks and cookies?! Woof. I am still thinking of Dolce Italy days later. While I absolutely love all the Italian bakeries in town, it will be hard to go anywhere else - just because the variety and freshness is truly unmatched. The staff recommended the magic horns as a must try and it is easy to see why. SO light and flaky with a cream that will make you swoon. Please go support this amazing family business! They are conveniently located in the same plaza as Lucano's right across from Wegs. Grab some treats today and thank me later!

    Nutella Croissant and Cream Horn

    Sweet Baby Jesus you gotta try this place.. the ancestors implore you to visit. Here's the deal for the short term they have abbreviated hours due to staffing and their daughter had major surgery. So don't get all annoyed.. check their website and social media channels or call to get updated hours. I went in a Friday they open at 10 am. It's across the street from The East Ave Wegmans in the strip mall with Canaltown Coffee and Restaurante Luccano in the same strip mall. This dear reader is a tiny store front.. maybe two people inside tops as in customers.. it's that small. They make everything themselves no joke.. the focaccia, gelato, Arincini, pastries. You can order coffee drinks to have at the little table outside like the little Nonna's who were sitting there when I came in or to go. This is a family spot meaning the family is working at the shop and they make the things. Have you ever seen in Netflix "Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat" well one episode with Samrin she makes focaccia with and they way it's made is how this stuff tastes..Focaccia should be perfectly oily with that olive oil and salty and soft and easy to eat. Yea this is it.. they had just put out fresh stuff I got the olive and they had a white one with onions as well. I also picked up an Arincini ball many versions but I got the original with Arborio Rice, Cheese (usually Mozzarella but depends on the cook) a meat sauce and peas.. it was scrumptious. Just all perfectly seasoned and fried and oh my.. they also had a veggie version as well. As for Dolce (meaning sweet) I got the cream horn and the Nutella Croissant. Lordy this stuff is fabulous just.. silky smooth fillings, tasty pastry.. just yummy. They make their own gelato but I will have to come back for it... no I will be back for it and everything else! Listen I've been to most of the spots around here they are good.. seriously I've tried other places in major cities and I've been to Italy. This is as close as you can come to the real deal without an airplane ride. Just give them a go you will be glad you did.. To remember: Abbreviated hours for the short term It's across from East Ave Wegmans They share a strip mall parking lot. ILL BE BACK! Ciao Bella!

    I got a cannoli, lobster tail and croissant and it was absolutely amazing!! Very light and tasty. Such friendly staff I will absolutely be coming back to try the coffee.

    Stopped in here for being highly rated for not only cakes but more specifically carrot cake…read more The staff was friendly and there's tons of baked goods all around the small space. Your head almost spins trying to see everything. Thankfully I was there for one thing. I ordered the slice of carrot cake which was pre cut. Which I typically try to avoid but they said that's what they had. We chatted briefly about extremely sweet icing and cake preferences before paying and leaving. The cake itself almost had zero sweetness to it which made the icing taste extremely sweet and unbalanced between to two. Even by itself the icing was very sweet. The cake , probably because it was precut and sitting for who knows how long, wasn't very moist. While not unbearably dry it was pushing the line of being too dry. I think a fresh cut slice would be way better moisture wise, but still unbalanced sweetness. I'd like to see what else the city a has to offer cake wise but I wouldn't call this one particularly great. I'd call this 2.5/5 but can't give half star reviews. The cake being the main reason for the visit and being kind of dry and unbalanced impacts the whole experience

The old adage that "we first eat with our eyes" is on full display here; pictures cannot do it full justice. And the smells of the bakery and cafe add to the sensory experience. The bakery side infuses flavors in their treats with flavors wash technique (typically on unbaked products and based on egg and cream mixture) that ensures moist and tender cakes or pastries. One example, for the forthcoming Kentucky Derby they had a cake washed with mint and bourbon that included a mint layer of icing and a bourbon based layer of icing inside the cake to achieve a "mint julep" cake. Of several items we purchased, mostly the cake part is standard white cake with flavor added and very nicely decorated. If one were to judge just on taste, it's essentially a good white cake, the "wow" comes from the decoration and somewhat the flavors. Heavy on the icing. But that is the decadence many want, and it looks great. I had the key lime pound cake and it was good, but a lighter example compared to Granny's (my Granny), so that's an unfair comparison, but it was lighter than anticipated and Granny's isn't the only pound cake I've had. The key lime was more subtle than the visual and mostly came from the glaze. The visual was so good, I asked if we could buy by the slice and the staff agreed to slice up a full cake for my slice and since they were getting low on pre-sliced available pound cake options. My wife loved it all! They do have take and bake casseroles and the cafe side has great sandwiches, an admirable Reuben if I remember. We must come here more often as it is very good and convenient and Granny took here recipe to the grave years ago, (RIP).

We went on a Sunday morning and the staff was great and quick. For coffee, I tried one of their current specials, a cinnamon bun latte. I loved it. This latte is for someone who likes it sweet. For my lunch, I got the salami goat sandwich. It was creamy and spicy, and the bread had the perfect bounce. My friend ordered the turkey and fig sandwich, and she let me take a bite. I'd be tempted to order that one next time. As a note, they don't do any substitutions on any sandwich. They will let you remove an item, but you cannot swap. I took a lemon pistachio olive oil cake to go. This was the star of the show. It was light, fresh and moist. I would come back for one everytime. If you're walking down the riverwalk in Greenville, it's definitely worth the stop.
