This place was outstanding. I love the small portion sizes so I didn't feel as guilty as I devoured absolutely everything. Coffee flavored gelato and tiramisu...hot coffee was also delicious. Why can't we have this place in my hometown? read more

3.5 stars really. have been here many times and it's a mixed bag. Sometimes it's five star espresso and chocolate and croissants. Sometimes it's one star like warm coffee and service so slow I can't actually believe how long it took to get caffeine and get out. The gelato and chocolates (I especially love the whiskey and bourbon chocolate) here are wonderful treats but the service speed is really hit and miss to the point where when one friend of mine goes she will say "I'm headed to grab coffee from Dolce. See you in four years." Definitely worth coming by for tasty treats, like after dinner at Volturno next door but if you're in a hurry in the morning you might need to leave before they make your order, as I have once. read more

Best gelato and cakes period. Their Tiramisu is little better than in Italy. Their Tres Leches is also incredible. I highly recommend you stop in! read more

I go crazy for those alfajores! Warm croissants in the morning are also very delicious, gelato same-delicious. You can't go wrong here I have so much more to try! read more

Moving to Toronto, going to miss this place. They have the best Tres leche cakes in Framingham. Not to mention the best gelato with unique flavors that rivals the creativity of Jennies Icecream. If you are grabbing a bite at Volterno or any of the other restaurants along rout 9, and want some desert, check out this place! :) read more

Wow! A new place in Framingham with outstanding croissants, espresso, gelato, and sorbeto. We made a Saturday morning journey out of a bike ride here just to try it, and I'm impressed. It's fresh and new and "shiny" which is nice, but jus as important is the food quality was really terrific. Go. Enjoy. Help them grow and thrive and stay here to serve out local needs! read more

As someone who is lactose intolerant, I was ecstatic to find ice cream treated with lactase (removes the lactose). This chocolate gelato was perfect and tasted like the real thing! 10/10 would recommend. read more

So so good!! My husband's favorite is banana bread and my favorite is key lime pie! Yum!

I go here everyday during my workday or after work. The atmosphere is comfortable. They're open early enough to get a coffee, and they have wonderful pastries and gelato! The staff is always welcoming. They're a good addition to this plaza! read more

If I could give this place and these people six stars (or more!) I would. Go there for the gelato, but stay for the chocolate EVERYTHING. My husband loves hearing about chocolate origins and the owners here process theirs in house I believe and love talking about the different types they've sourced. We've been able to sample so many of the different bars and always seem to walk out with something new to try. I ordered a flourless chocolate cake for my husband's birthday and it was divine. So definitely start with the icy treats and then explore from there! read more

This place was adorable, and had great gelato. It's also part of a complex so plenty of lot parking. The people working were super personable and gave us recommendations and samples. Everything was so good! I was able to get 2 flavors in a small which was packed. It is on the more expensive side though ($3.50 for a small, $7.00 for a large) read more

Hands down the best gelato in the area! They have about 20 flavors, including standards like chocolate and mango as well as tiramisu, dolce de latte chocolate, hazelnut, etc. Generous portions too read more

Cupcakes are to die for (only ashland location) tres leches and carrot cake are also delicious

Perfect place to go on a first date. If you decide stop by try there Affogoto with Dolce de leite.

Wow! Went there for the first time today to get my boyfriend some chocolates for his birthday. The cafe is super cute and clean. The young guy behind the counter was not only incredibly friendly, but also very helpful. He helped me navigate the myriad amount of choices for small chocolates. I bought my boyfriend six chocolates (cost about $9 overall). The chocolate was some of the best we have ever tasted. You can look at their website to read about their chocolates. The cafe has many flavors of gelato and, from what I have read, dairy free gelato as well. I will be back to try some of that soon! I also noticed that they had reasonably priced coffee drinks, as well as other treats, such as cake and pate de fruit. read more

For starters, the decor is gorgeous; bright, clean, simple. We were some of the only people there when we went in, and the service we received was top-notch. Overwhelmed by the chocolate and gelato offerings, we opted not to try any this trip; we'd really just stopped in to try the coffee. I got my usual drink everywhere I go, and iced mocha and my boyfriend was thrilled to see vietnamese iced coffee on the menu and got that. Both were awesome. We each had a "mini cinni" cinnamon roll which were warmed up for us. Prices are totally reasonable and the coffee and pastries are definitely worth it. Definitely going back...soon! read more

Absolutely amazing gelato, coffee, sandwiches, pastries, and custom cakes from some of the nicest, most helpful people I've met. I truly love this place!!! read more

Absolutely incredible place. As good as a café in Italy. If you want a special treat, this is the place to go. Everything is crafted with impeccable care and it's clear the owners have spent many years perfecting their recipes. The gelato is absolutely delicious, but I am currently blown away with their chocolate truffles. Possibly the best truffles I have ever had, (and I've had a lot... ). Prices are very reasonable, super nice staff, and best of all amazing to support a local family business. You cannot go wrong. Taste Italy right here in Framingham.#thingsinevrrthoughtidsay so good. read more

Amazing gelato and chocolates! Loved most flavors I tried! :) I tried coconut, dulce d leche choclate chip, mango, dark chocolate. All these flavors were so good. read more

Amazing Gelato and fine chocolates. It's a great place to stop for a treat or a cup of coffee. Happily for me, most of the Gelatos are lactose free. Visit their location right off route 9 and Edgell Road or some Saturdays in the summer at the Ashland Farmers Market. read more

This bakery is to die for. All ingredients are top quality any made in house. No skimping on anything. You won't find better deserts. It's amazing that this bakery is located in such an unlikely building. Besides deserts he has croissants that are so European that you will think you are in Paris. The Sandwiches are excellent but we normally just get desserts and empanadas that rival anything from Miami. The owner is very friendly and will explain the ingredients and process for anything. read more

This cafe has the most amazing gelato I've ever had, I've lost interest in full-fat/super premium Ice cream after having this tasty treat with amazing texture, flavor, and creaminess. Yum! read more

I was really happy to find this place. Everything is homemade and they have very special chocolates, and a wide variety of them. Also fruit pate. It's hard to find food of this quality and also in a place that has Wi-Fi. I got the brownie gelato and was very pleased with it. I've had gelato in Italy and I thought this was comparable. The staff and the owner are very nice. The seating is comfortable and the lighting is nice, too. My only complaint is that it's kind of hard to find - a hidden gem. read more

This is where you should get your dessert! If you like fresh chocolate, truffles, pralines, or yummy gelato, or homemade dulce d leche, just go! Great energy. read more

Where's that 6th star?! Mostly in for th gelato w the fam but have also bought gifts like the hand made truffles and stopped and had coffee w friends. Family owned, friendly vibe but finest quality! read more

This is great Gelato! We were recommended here by some local folks in Framingham. They have sorbet and a number of different flavors of Gelato. Dulce De Leche flavors are great. They have a few peruvian/south american sweets as well. Great spot and they are open later than most sweets places in the area. read more

Listen, people. I have never had croissants as good as the ones here. I know this place is a gelato place, but go for the croissants. They are so expensive and it is so sad, but get a few and heat it in the mini oven before work and you'll look forward to waking up. The spinach and feta? and the bacon something. Absolutely heavenly. Oh, and their gelato is not bad. The dulce d leche is made in house and really yummy. The chocolate cake is good too. But warning, very maskless workers. read more

We always stop by for lunch almost every week. The menu of sandwiches is small but delicious. The turkey cheddar and the meatball are our favorites. Followed by some authentic gelato, it's a perfect meal. Everything we have sampled is above par--such tender pie crusts, great bread to bring home, dense cakes. Can barely wait for the next batch of tiramisu! read more

Yummy baked goods, delicious coffee and prepared pre-bake dinners to go. Support this sweet, locally owned business!

Really cute confectionary shop in a plaza with some really good dulce de leche sweets. A bit pricey and selections were limited but everything really is really good.also a small selection of teas and coffees as well. Quaint with a small selection of gelatos, chocolate, dulce, de leche, cakes and drinks. We were not disappointed! read more

Love this cute intimate place !! I like to coffee here and I love the small intimate vibes but the ice cream and chocolates are great here as well ! I see that they have expanded their menu a bit which I'm very happy about and I look forward to always coming back here. If I have a business meeting I prefer to always do it here rather than a Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts ! Always clean and always great service !! You should definitely check this place out !! read more

The place is lovely, bright and clean, unfortunately in an "under construction" parking lot. Don't let that deter you. The owner, a lovely Argentinian, has a passion for sugar majestically demonstrated in her handcrafted chocolates, her caramels and of course the sticky sweet "dulce de leche" (milk caramel, looser than our traditional pasty caramel). Assorted boxes are artfully presented, and if you are lucky enough to enjoy a bite, you will need to take time to savor the perfectly balanced chocolate to sugar - you can feel the texture - silky and melt in the warmth of your tongue delight, bliss. Her gelees are studded with coarse sugar crunchy, sweet and fruit bursting flavor. My pet rock was, however, pistachio macarons filled with dulce de leche (UG!) that were rock hard and the filling a far cry from the butter cream center of a macaron. Not sure what happened with those, but I tell you, I could have hurt someone if I threw it at their head. But - salted caramels, and turtles make for the chocoholic fix, and their tres leches frosted with dulce de leche was pretty good. I read and hear that they have great coffee... Maybe I will pair with one of the croissants that are hand made with dough brought in from CT. If the owner is in, give her a nod and a nice chat - she is delightful! read more

Great service. Excellent espresso. Delicious treats. Take a coffee break & head over here to enjoy!! Also I got some Christmas shopping done. Perfect. Thank you Sam! read more

This is a wonderful place! We tried the gelato, which brought us back to Italy at the first spoon! The coffee was very good too. The premises are decorated with gusto, this small place feels very cozy and stylish too. read more

Great gelato. Coffee is really good, as are the Argentina cookies. A little pricey but not outlandish. The staff is very friendly.

Cute shop! A little hidden as we had been to the Japanese place by here a few times and never noticed it. But now that IHOP is right next to it, I'm sure we will come by more lol. Really fresh flavors -- tried the pistachio gelato and strawberry sorbeto. Sometimes sorbets are overly sweet but this one was good. Excited to have a great dessert/chocolate place in case of a sweet tooth or when you need a nice gift. read more

My girlfriend and I absolutely love Dulce! Their dessert is awesome. My girlfriend is gluten-free and they have some of the best tasting, one being their gluten free tiramisu!! They also have a great assortment of gelato and chocolates. The owners are really nice and customer service has always been great. I highly recommend Dulce. read more

This is my favorite gelateria & coffee in the world! The owners are on site often and expect quality in everything they serve! Their chocolate is epic. They have chocolate from around the world and use the finest ingredients. . Excellent , friendly staff! I recommend Dulce de Leche to anyone from or visiting the area!Enjoy! read more

Looking for a sweet treat, Dulce D Leche is your place! We recently tried their store made Gelato and it was hard to decide on what flavor, they had sooooooo many to choose from, including sorbets, I chose raspberry and was not disappointed, it was so refreshing! Called a few days later and ordered their carrot cake, one of my favorites, so I'm really picky, it was honestly the best carrot cake I've had in a long time! It's all made from scratch, at the store, starting with them grating fresh carrots on site. It was full of nuts and sooooooo moist and flavorful, not overpower like some cakes can be, and topped off with a spectacular cream cheese frosting that had just a hint of tang and vanilla bean specks, and not overly sweet. It was the perfect combination! So if u need a cake or just a treat give them a try, definitely a hidden jewel in Framingham! read more

Well, i read the reviews and decided to get a cake for my Wife's birthday, i wanted a Tres Leches cake but when i went there in the morning it was without frosting and poorly finished and did not look like a birthday cake. So i asked can we do like a normal cake which would look like a birthday cake? They said yes and agreed to bake me a new cake. They gave me few options, the one i went for was a three layer cake with dulce de leche in the layers and a espresso frosting (they agreed to add espresso to the frosting for me. When i went to get the cake i was underwhelmed by the look. But because it was too late to do anything about it, i thought atleast the cake will taste good. The cake looked like to be baked and frosted (finished) by an amateur and definitely not by an baker. By the time i reached and opened the cake at midnight, the layers had slid upon each other making the cake look like a building after an earthquake. We went ahead with cutting the cake. The frosting was so grainy that we could feel sugar granules in the frosting. The cake tasted fresh but was so dry that it was bursting into dust as we tried to cut and eat it. It had 4 layers of cake and huge layers of dulce de leche in between. The dry cake and the super thick layer of dulce de leche tasted combination did not taste great. All in all an extremely forgetful birthday cake for $28. However, the staff was nice but they should have told me they do not have any experience making birthday cakes. When i wrote them about my experience they suggested that i should plan ahead before ordering a custom cake instead of being honest about their capability. read more
