    We loved the available flavors and the fact that a "small" is two scoops of ice cream since we weren't forced to choose one due to not being too hungry. We got the coffee with cookies and the dulce de leche chip flavors and both were absolutely delicious. I liked the coffee with cookies better but would come back for both. They have limited seating in the store and some benches outside for nice weather as well but we wanted to stroll as we ate. The employees are also very friendly and let you sample a few flavors before committing to two/three.

    Insanely good gelato. The woman working at the counter was super friendly! She answered all my questions about the flavors and gave great suggestions. The gelato may have been the best I've had! It was expensive, but I'd say it was worth it! The interior is cute and we enjoyed sitting at the large table, collaborating on a crossword puzzle while downing our sweet treats.

    Cute little coffee shop in DuPont, emphasis on little! A lot of patrons and a lot of options, which means they probably do a variety of things very well. I got my strawberry Matcha. It was good, but I wished the strawberry was a little bit more blended in. Service was very fast I was in and out in less than five minutes with a crowd. Would return to try other drinks or gelato.

    Peach Matcha

    I hadn't been to Dolcezza in years until I saw a sign outside for their Peach Matcha. Honestly, it was brilliant visual marketing because never have I ever even had a thought or desire that this drink should even exist until that moment. I don't think I had ever even been to this location prior, but upon walking into the space it was so cozy and calming. There was no line, so I was able to place my order and receive it quickly. I didn't know what to expect, but was so pleasantly surprised upon my first sip. Never did I think this drink would be so good! The matcha was smooth and creamy. But the real delight were the muddled peaches at the bottom. They were sweetened, which was unexpected but a pleasant surprise - kind of reminded me of peach pie filling making this drink more of a mild, sweet treat. It's been a couple weeks now and I'm still thinking about it so it was that good. However, even if I had a Dolcezza nearby I would still reserve it as a "from time to time" drink vs an every day drink only because it was a tad sweeter than what I would normally go for. I'm sure it's likely a seasonal drink but I'll be on the lookout for it again in the future. (And I'll keep an eye out for future drink specials from Dolcezza from here on out!)

    The first time I came I thought it was just a coffee shop until my friend told me there's ice cream in the back. It looks pretty inconspicuous since the ice cream is not on display. They do give samples and I tried a few before settling on blueberry. The smallest size gives you two scoops so I picked two flavors. They really pack it in. They have a sesame flavor which I've never seen in a non Asian setting which was so interesting and delicious. The person giving us our ice cream was so kind and patient as we looked through the flavors. We then paid up front and sat at their table to enjoy it.

    This coffee-gelato shop is a great place to visit in the afternoon when you need a pick-me-upper and a treat for the girlies. Looks like they make their own gelato in small batches. One large communal table where it seems ok to park and get comfortable working. Workers were friendly and patient. The mango sorbet is amazing. There was no line to get in and no line to order.

    Was on my way home and it popped up under my suggestion so decided to give it a try . Got the Seasonal Hot Chocolate. It was amazing. The atmosphere is so cute and cozy The service was rapid and fresh . Will definitely be returning. Big shout out to Will & Cece They gave a great warm welcome energy.

    The cutest coffee shop! The staff are so friendly and welcoming. Came in here to kill time before my firm's dinner and I needed a cup of coffee after my commute from NY to DC; saw this shop and walked right in. It's pleasant when you leave your town and go somewhere that you're greeted so nicely!

    An awesome small coffee and gelato spot. While in DC, I stopped in for my daily latte and almond croissant. The coffee was excellent and the croissant was heavenly. I was able to sit at a community table and enjoy my coffee and croissant. The staff was super helpful and efficient.

    Cute little gelato and coffee spot that has a delicious array for interesting flavors to pick from. Staff was kind and helpful, lets us try things before we picked. 2 flavors in a small! Can't beat that. Just lacks a lot of seating.

    Leading with the customer service - everyone was SO nice and helpful! The spot is very cute though small for the large group of us stopping in. Regardless, the gelato and coffee were outstanding. A must stop if you're in the mood for a sweet treat!

    Really great little gelato shop open late! The gelato was thick and creamy and the flavors were bold. I got a small which is 2 scoops, I tried the coffee & cookies with the dark chocolate fudge, both were delicious. My husband got the pistachio & it had a fresh pistachio flavor, no artificial flavor at all. We will definitely be returning.

The tuna sandwich asked for lettuce and told can't add lettuce. My husband asked for something not on his lamb pita, same story. Oh well. No customization at all, no subs. Makes business easier, but not as attractive for price point for customers. I'll remember to keep it to coffee and pastries from now on. Chicken pita was good, a bit heavy on the parsley but loved the dressing. Tuna sandwich was a hit. Pastries are always good. My pistachio latte was chewy bc it had grainy bits of pistachio in it. Not to my liking. $70 for three sandwiches, two coffees and two cookies.

Parking is what it is at the Wharf, but I recommend parking near the museum and walking over. Once inside, you're met with gorgeous decor and a thoughtfully designed space that feels like a Spanish-style bar set in nature. The tile, the color palette, and the food and drink options all come together beautifully. I ordered the Carrot Cake Con Leche, which came out to about $8 after tax. It was tasty and a great treat after my morning run. It did take about 15 to 20 minutes to receive my order, but given how busy it was, that felt understandable. I'm looking forward to returning and experiencing it at a calmer time.
