    pistachio
    Morlene C.

    This cute little Italian gelato place is cozy without much seating, but that sorta adds to its charm. I appreciated there was no limit to how many flavors we sampled before committing. They have classic flavors like stracciatella and hazelnut, plus some interesting ones like lemon zest and what they call 100% chocolate. The person working there was really patient and friendly, especially with my friend's kids while they chose a flavor. I went for the pistachio, which was super green. Suspiciously green. The base cream was pretty good, though. Honestly, I was hoping for some more unique, out-there flavors. But I know sometimes you just want a straightforward scoop of gelato, and Dolce Neve delivers on that front. It's a solid choice if you're in the mood for some Italian-style frozen treats. Not mind-blowing, but definitely satisfying. If they mixed up their flavor lineup a bit more, I'd be more excited to go back.

    We arrived 10 minutes before closing, but the employee was very nice and served us! He was patient with letting us try multiple flavors. The inside is clean, and there is lots of seating! We got the $7 medium size with 3 flavors: coffee, mascarpone and figs, and cream dolce Neve (custard with lemon zest). All the flavors were creamy and so delightful! By combining the coffee and the mascarpone flavor, it was basically like tiramisu! I appreciated how the lemon zest had a strong lemon flavor.

    A small place with a relaxed atmosphere to enjoy ice cream. Every day they have different flavors. I loved that they have vegan options, and the customer service was exceptional. Maya patiently explained each flavor to us and was very kind

    The best gelato in Houston. I think the owners might have taken my previous feedback seriously, which is great news. I've been to Dolce Neve twice since my last review and the improvements have been noticeable. The last time around (7/21) the front fridge was back in service, the place was sparkling clean again and the lady at the counter was even going outside to clean the tables despite the place being very busy.

    Came here for a scoop after dinner in the heights. They have a rotating assortment of gelato flavors and all the ones we sampled were great. Authentic gelato experience.

    Thank you for the exceptional service, CJ!! We came in a big group of 10 and were lucky to have someone who accommodated and served us so well. I would 10/10 come again because not only was the gelato delicious, but we also had a good time hanging out there.

    I was wanting to enjoy this experience more, but I found the overall flavors coupled with cost to not stack up. I ordered their medium, which allowed me to get up to 3 flavors, and it came out close to $8...just feels steep. For the flavors I tried the namesake Dolce Neve, the Madagascar Vanilla, and the Malted Milk. All of the flavors were good, nothing really stood out minus the Dolce Neve. As I came by on a Wednesday afternoon, there was no one else in the shop so it was an easy ordering experience.

    Goat cheese pecan. Yum!

    We came on a rough day when only two or three flavors were left. But the flavors we got were chef's kiss. This is quality stuff you have to eat slowly and savor. Ambiance was aesthetic, perfectly Instagrammable.

    Dolce Neve is by far my favorite gelato shop and one of the only few in the Heights area! While they change up their flavors I really like their staple chocolate flavor such as Chocolate 100% from Ghana. While seating is limited to outdoor seating which is super limited, service is always a breeze for a quick cooling treat!

    A waiter slipped us the clue that this was IT when it comes to gelato... and he was RIGHT!! I can't think of a place that even slightly comes close to how tasty the gelatos are here. Fromage Blac + Berries | 8.3/10 Yes, Fromage = cheese, but hold the phone - it ain't your aunt Sally's cheese.. it's sweet, sweet, European cheese *chef's kiss* it tastes much more like a slightly honey & rich, creamy combination surrounding various berries. Very well balanced! Hazelnut Gelato in a Waffle Cone| 9.85/10 Wow.. this literally tastes like Ferrero Rocher! Without a doubt! & the cone... fantastic. It has a slight cinnamon taste! We WILL be back!!

    Are the desserts pricey?

When I stopped by on a weekday evening at 9pm it was packed. They had stations setup throughout the store to order different goods, which helped to alleviate the rush. Knafeh ($6) - They offered 2 types of knafeh, one with cheese and one with custard. I went with the one made with Nabulsi cheese and topped with shredded phyllo, and soaked in sugar syrup. It was warm, crispy and delicious! Karak tea ($5) - This milk tea drink was made with aromatic spices, primarily cardamom, cloves, ginger and cloves. I was happy to see they used whole milk instead of evaporated milk. The drink was incredibly rich and creamy and tasted great. Turkish delight ($18 / lb.) - This was extremely fresh, soft and chewy, made with cornstarch, sugar, nuts. Some of the varieties I tried had chocolate and/or fruits. The baklava here was fresh made with layers of phyllo dough, chopped nuts, and held together with some honey. The nut offerings here included, almonds, walnuts, peanuts and a few more. Overall I was impressed with everything they offered here with the exception of the nuts, which I thought were just ok. I'd definitely return if I was in the area.

    The desserts here are fun, unique, and very different from what you find at most places. My only…read morecomplaint is the lack of labeling for many of the products. For example, with the Turkish delights and ice cream selections, only a few items are labeled. For most of them, you have to guess the flavor or ingredients. When I asked questions, there was a language barrier, and the staff member behind the counter was unable to clearly explain what the items were in English. This can be especially frustrating for customers with food allergies or dietary restrictions. In the U.S., I would expect all flavors and ingredients to be clearly labeled so customers can make informed choices. Even if staff members are not fluent in English, having accurate labels for flavors and ingredients would greatly improve the customer experience. The desserts themselves are excellent, but better product labeling would make the experience much more enjoyable and accessible for everyone.

    Popfancy Dessert Bar: You're here for K-Pop, the desserts are the bonus…read more Let's be honest about what this is. You're paying for the K-Pop Demon Hunter pop-up aesthetic, the upbeat vibes, the fast service, the themed menu. The desserts? Solid. The Pinky Up Parfait hits. One scoop of cappuccino ice cream comes generous and tasty. Nothing disappoints. But nothing revolutionizes dessert either. This is good execution in service of a limited time experience, not destination-level pastry work. And that's fine. That's exactly what a pop-up should be. The real draw is that everything works together. Vibe, music, service, and desserts that don't let the side down. It feels fun, not gimmicky. That's harder to pull off than you'd think. Bottom line. Pop-ups don't stick around. If the K-Pop theme is your thing and you want solid desserts in a fun environment, go now. If you're just looking for great desserts, permanent spots do it better.

This is not a place you go to just have lunch or something.This place is an experience. Some adults might find joy in here (like I do), but my children definitely did, and that's worth it. They came here with the same excitement that they had for disneyland so I'm really happy about that. We all liked the harry potter experience and some different anime type experiences as well that my children liked. The foods and drinks are on theme and although it's not cheap, it's definitely not as much as Disneyland. We came on the weekends, but during lunchtime, and I can see how they might be really busy during the dinner rush. Sometimes you might need a timed entry to go in, but thankfully, we have not since we've been going. I will say that it's quite small and gets cramped really fast. I just think the experience of it all is a really cool and I'm happy we have fun places like this around us in Houston.

What's nudged this place up to 5 stars for me is they have really improved their coffee game, specifically their quality of cappuccino's. Previously it seemed more of latte, but now to me its a legit Capp. Their choice of pastries hasn't changed, which gives you a good assortment of choices and they have added an additional barista or server which also is a nice touch for service. The only niggling items, parking can be tough, so you'll have to either walk a block or be quick to find a place close by.

Inside you will also find French pastries, coffees and teas, gelato, milkshakes, sandwiches and macaroons. I felt the most interesting items were the French pastries as they are cute and tasty as well. Also, they plate the pastries nicely when you dine in as an added bonus. I tried the Chocolate Royale and the Ruby. Chocolate Royale - a petit chocolate mouse slice with flat chocolate panels along the sides. It is delicate and tasty. If you're a chocolate lover, this is definitely up your alley. Ruby - visually this looks like a strawberry Hershey kiss, with red powder on the exterior and a top piece of foil to resemble foil on the wrapper of a hershey kiss. Inside, it's filled with a strawberry cream and has a chocolate base. I just wish there was more chocolate in this one. They have plenty of seating inside as well as along the sidewalk. Inside you have the more fancy tables, whereas outside, they're more weather resistant and not as upscale in appearance. The soft drinks to drink along with your sweets are in a cold case along the hotel side of the space and you just take them to the register as you order. One of the most surprising things when you come here are the relatively affordable prices as you might expect them to be more for being a coffee shop attached to a 5-star hotel with a helipad.

Since we were already in the area after breakfast at TJ's Filipino Cuisine, we finally got the chance to stop by and try their baked goods for ourselves. We arrived early, so the bakery wasn't too busy yet. The bakers were busy prepping more goodies in the back while my cousin and I browsed all the Filipino baked goods we really miss from back home in the Philippines. They even had suman, sapin-sapin, biko, and other kakanin, which was nice to see. I specifically looked for the chicken empanada, and my cousin wanted to try the ube white chocolate chip cookie. We also saw different kinds of siopao and planned to come back later to buy some before heading back to San Antonio. We tried the ube white chocolate chip cookie first, but honestly we weren't totally satisfied. It tasted more like a regular white chocolate chip cookie with purple coloring and didn't really have much ube flavor. I also tried the chicken empanada. My cousin didn't like it because it was sweeter than expected--we were both expecting it to be savory. There seemed to be caramelized sugar in the outside of the pastry, which probably added to the sweetness. I still like it, though it was definitely sweeter than what I'm used to. Red Ribbon's chicken empanada is still my favorite. Later that day before leaving Houston, we came back for the siopao we planned to take home. We finally decided to just buy a couple pieces for ourselves, heat them up in the bakery, and try them fresh. When we saw the price for a four-pack, we were honestly disappointed. It felt expensive for the size. The siopao wasn't huge, and while I like the dough, there wasn't much chicken filling inside. For the portion, taste, and quality, it felt overpriced. Overall, it's probably not worth making another trip back for us. We did enjoy the cassava ube suman, and I like the chicken empanada, but not enough to drive all the way to Houston just for those. If I live nearby, I might come back to try other baked goods, but based on this visit, I'm not sure the rest would impress my palate. I still give them credit for cleanliness and customer service, although we did notice fruit flies on one of the shelves and reported it. The staff was friendly, and the bakery itself was welcoming. At the end of the day, since they're a bakery, the expectation is great-tasting, quality, mouthwatering Filipino breads, pastries ", and kakanin. While some items were enjoyable, overall it just didn't quite live up to the hype for us.
