    I have tried their gelatos a couple of times and they are really good . The service is great . You can ask them for a little sample before ordering your gelato. Located inside oakridge mall right next to children play area makes it very convenient to have a gelato and then go to the play area . Recently they introduced the Dubai strawberry chocolate which I haven't tried yet but it looked very tempting. They have a lot of variety to choose from so don't forget to try next time you are there

    Dubai chocolate was delectable; the combination of strawberries, chocolate and crushed peanuts were on point. I also tried the lotus and pistachio gelato, but the lotus is my favorite out of the two. This location is located inside the mall, right next to Living Spaces and UFC Fit. Limited indoor seating. Good customer service.

    The pistachio gelato was spectacular! I tried a couple samples: the mango was very fruity and fresh, cookies flavor was on the sweeter side. There were too many to try but I ended up with the pistachio California gelato that was verrrry delicious and smooth earthy nutty flavor. My bf got the lotus he said it tasted like biscoff cookie but creamy and sweet. The customer service was great no line at the mall surprisingly on a busy Sunday. The booth of the store was clean from what I can see from the outside which is great. Presentation is everything when you buy food/ice cream anywhere! 10/10 rating the sweet staff that was helpful that was working. We will come back again!

    The portions are so worth it! The staff was very friendly and patient as I was sampling and raking forever to order. We were pleasantly surprised when we saw how much she put in the cup and realized we could have shared a medium cup. The flavors are not too strong but decent imo. It's a nice treat if you're tired from walking in the mall!

    This shop is located in Oakridge mall, and they have many interesting flavors. I tasted the pistachio, which when really good, is my favorite flavor; theirs was just okay. I had the Ferraro rocher and strawberries & cream. Of the two, the strawberries & cream was sweeter and the flavors stronger; I much preferred it over the Ferraro rocher, which surprised me. My husband had an flavor that combined almonds, caramel, and something else I cannot remember, but it is light brown/beige in color. He liked it, but I thought it had a strange aftertaste. I like his second flavor much more, a pomegranite & I think ricotta combo. So, it seems in future, I ought to stick with the flavors that include fruit.

    My friend and I were really indecisive on what flavors to get so we asked for a lot of samples and the employee was super nice helping us figure out what we wanted and explaining the flavors to us. We ended up getting like four flavors and it was pretty yummy. This is a personal thing but I think I got too much gelato because by the time I got to my second flavor, the creaminess was getting a bit much for me. Next time, I'd just get one flavor or maybe take it home and eat it later ahahah.

    Super underrated spot inside of Oakridge Shopping Center. It's not too busy and the workers are pretty quick about making your order. The dubai chocolate was fantastic - it's "not too sweet" and is crunchy too! Overall good taste and texture. There's a few tables and chairs in the mall next to the shop to eat your ice cream.

    La Dolce Gelado is always a treat. Conveniently located in Oakridge Mall, it is a favorite stop for me and my mom. I've tried a few flavors but dark black chocolate is hands down my favorite. The service here tends to be a little on the slow side but I promise it is worth it. The storefront is bright and inviting. With white and green accents. We will continue to stop by whenever we are at the mall.

    Love seeing a nice gelato place with great service! Staff was super friendly and walked me through my annoying questions about all of their flavors. Their chocolate based gelato are amazing, and their crepe has a great blend of texture and flavor. They had a new drink today - Mango Lemonade Energy, and it paired really well with their sweet treats!

    At a prominently located Gelato shop in the mall, the display of various ice cream flavors looked incredibly tempting. I randomly chose the Panna Cotta with Blackberry flavor. The ice cream had a delicate and smooth texture, mixed with blackberry jam. The rich creamy aroma of the ice cream, combined with the sweet and tangy flavor of the blackberry jam, made the taste even more delightful. I'll definitely come back next time to try other flavors.

    Banana strawberry with nuttela crepe, top with chocolate ice cream
    Tram L.

    We were craving for some sweet crepes and so excited to find out this place in South SJ. It's inside Oakridge mall, across from Daiso. Servers were super nice and willing to let us taste whatever flavor we asked for. We got the banana and strawberry crepe with one scoop of chocolate ice cream. It came out $13 per crepe with tax and tip, which is not bad with the high SJ minimum wage (you know what I mean). I personally like my crepe batter to be lighter and crunchier. Their batter is kinda cakey which make it harder to be crunchy. On a side note, it would be great if you can find a table further from the children playground if you don't want to eat with children screaming as your BGM.

    Small Gelato (Mint Chocolate and Strawberry)
    Anh L.

    La Dolce Vita is a small, cute ice cream shop sitting at one end of the mall. It's not in the food court which is interesting considering the placement for food and beverages. The servers were really nice to offer tastings on the spot. I think there is a maximum of 9 flavors you can try out. I tasted the lemon mint and it wasn't my favorite, so I chose something else. They have a wide selection of flavors you can choose and I felt that picking a small size (2 flavors) was good enough. The portion the team provides for the small selection was quite generous. The flavors I selected were mint chocolate chip and strawberry, both in which were delicious and refreshing. I think for a hot summer day, I would like to try the sour flavors next time.

A healthy alternative for brunch! Then menu has many offerings to suit most every palette. I appreciate how most of the ingredients are listed in each entree. It would be even better to have the ingredients of the batter listed somewhere, though. I pre-ordered ordered the Avocado, and I received a message that my order would be ready in about 20 minutes. I arrived six minutes early, but my order was ready at that time. The ingredients were indeed fresh. I could smell the veggies - a good sign of freshness. The crepe was big, cut up and placed in the container in two layers. The crepe batter was fluffy and not dried-out, and the lemon tahini sauce provided a nice touch of lemony flavor that was not overpowering. To say that the flavor was bland is not really accurate, as the flavor was organic - I could taste each vegetable without the saltiness. For some people this may be bland. But for those of us who need to watch our salt intake, it was good. I am happy that this establishment caters to those with dietary restrictions. Nowadays this seems to be more and more of an important consideration when choosing where to eat. In that respect, Crepe Bistro does not disappoint.

    On our last morning in San Jose, we had to check out of our hotel by 11 a.m., but we didn't have to…read morebe at the airport until 1, so we decided to find somewhere nearby for a little brunch before heading to the airport. We honestly didn't do much research--we just searched what was close by, saw that Whisper's had crêpes, and thought, Yep, that's where we're going! It ended up being a great choice. The restaurant was an easy walk from our hotel, which made it perfect for our last morning. They have both indoor and patio seating, and we found a nice outdoor table that had a mix of shade and sunshine--pretty much the perfect San Jose morning. The ordering process was a little different than I expected. Even though it's a sit-down restaurant where they bring your food to you, you actually order at the counter like you would at a fast-food restaurant. They give you a number to take to your table, and then your food is brought out. We waited less than 15 minutes for our food, so the whole process was really quick. One thing I thought was especially nice is that SJSU students, teachers, and staff receive a discount. If you're connected to San Jose State, definitely ask about it when you order! My daughter ordered a hamburger and fries and absolutely devoured the burger. The fries weren't anything particularly special, but the burger was a hit. It did come with what felt like an entire head of lettuce, though! We ended up taking quite a bit of it off because there was just so much. I ordered the eggs over easy with ham and their potatoes, and the combination was fantastic. I also got two pieces of lightly buttered white toast, and I know toast doesn't sound exciting, but it was actually really good. I ate both pieces with a little grape jelly and had no complaints! Of course, we couldn't leave without trying a crêpe, so we split the Dolce Sweet Crêpe for dessert. This was definitely my favorite part of the meal. It was absolutely delicious, and the walnuts were my favorite part. I could have eaten the whole thing myself. After we finished eating, we just sat outside for a little while and enjoyed the beautiful weather before heading back to grab our things and make our way to the airport. The staff was attentive, plates were cleared quickly, and the atmosphere was quiet enough that we could actually sit and talk. There was also plenty of seating both inside and outside. Overall, this was such a great little brunch spot, especially if you're staying at one of the nearby hotels or you're a student, teacher, or staff member at SJSU. It's walkable, quick, has plenty of seating, and the food was delicious. We picked it completely on a whim and ended up being really glad we did. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a casual brunch spot in the area!

To me, it was a decent brunch spot with appropriate service. If you're looking for a classic diner with typical breakfast favorites especially for crepes, this place does the job. It is pretty spacious and has decent outdoor seating. However, I thought the restaurant had a slight lingering odor. The eggs were cooked well and the breakfast potatoes had a nice texture. I saw someone else who ordered side fruit and it did not look too appetizing. Their Eggs Benedict was a bit bland and would think there could be more seasoning. It was not too memorable, but I'm glad I tried it out. It's close to SJSU, so it's convenient for the college students!

As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by Enrique, who had such a warm and welcoming demeanor. We took a moment to look over the menu, and he quickly picked up that it was our first time.

While our drinks were being made, we had some friendly small talk with the staff, which added to the experience. The overall vibe was great.
