The baristas are great and will remember your order and name after just a couple days! Although many prople use this space for work, I would not recommend Gloria's coffee bar for work.

Gloria's, however, is the perfect spot for a rainy day, after a run, to talk with friends, and so so many more valuable activities.

You walk into a huge assortment of fresh baked goods that were no doubt delicious. We found a table and ordered some drinks while we waited for the rest of our group. I had a hot dirty chai. It was sweet and tasty, but not hot enough. I'm thinking the iced would have been better. No stars removed though because when the food came, I was blown away. I ordered the lox on sourdough and a side salad. The plate was beautifully presented. I dug into the salad first and OMG! The dressing was magical. It was bursting with fresh flavors, bright lemon zest, maybe a hint of Dijon. It was so good. I'm would order the salad over and over if I could, but salads aren't on the menu. The main course was equally mind blowing. The bread was soft and chewy, the salmon was accompanied by lots of capers, dill, cream cheese, and cucumbers. It was a perfect combination. My other complaint is that they don't open earlier, but I also don't live here so I can't be too mad. I will visit again!

I wrote this for a class assignment back in 2014 I called it a "Healthy Gem In Downtown Laredo" and…read moreI happen to stumble across it today in 2022 and decided to post it as a review. Everything stated was base off of my experience, I hope you find it useful. If you are looking for a great place to grab a bite other than Mcdonald's or any other fast food joint, you have to stop by Caffe Dolce. It's the place to be during your lunch hour or just to grab a bite to go. Luckily for me as I am currently attending Laredo Community College its close by. The overall look from the outside is similar to an older cottage home in New Orleans, around the French quarter area; it definitely does not feel like it's in Laredo. Its on a main street and its surrounded by trees. There's also an outside porch with such beautiful scenery feels like home, if the weather was right it would be a perfect spot to study or even hang out with a few friends outside. Let me start off with my experience at Caffe Dolce , the service was outstanding, restaurant looked very clean. Since it was my first time eating there, I wasn't sure what to try so I asked the cashier and he was so detailed with each selection on the menu I wanted to order everything! Every single item on the menu was healthy. The overall feeling of the discovered gem was really relaxing, as I waited for my food I looked at the art they had on display to be honest the art wasn't really my cup of tea but it was done right, I mean the details in the artwork was astounding who would've thought Laredo had such talent hidden away in downtown. My food came out pretty quick, I was able to smell the herbs used the aroma infused my my area, the presentation was unique I ordered a Panini "MAT" which consisted of Mozzarella, Asparagus and Turkey on a croissant. I felt not only good about my choice but the price was right. Also knowing that it was healthy also made me feel even better about trying Caffe Dolce. I also tried their all-natural cucumber lemonade and let me tell you it was so refreshing and tasty I was able to taste the lemon and the cucumber, and for me that's key in knowing that it is as natural as they say trust me I can tell, Anyhow It was paired up perfectly with the weather and my Panini.The order also came with a side, which was a pasta salad covered with pesto sauce looked delicious I couldn't wait to taste it . Once I took my first bite I knew I was eating something out of this world. Not only was it delicious the food is superb!, it was very satisfying to all my taste buds, words just can't describe all the flavors that my tongue was experiencing, my belly was happy and i was satisfied as i'm writing this as i remember my mouth is getting watery! I honestly felt as if I discovered a gem in Laredo abesides the normal tacos and more tacos it was different than just any restaurant in downtown. As I sat there and enjoyed my juicy Panini I was able to relax and read my Grassroots book, the waiter was also pretty discreet not to interrupt me but he still stopped by to see if I needed anything. I have to tell you if you are in the downtown area you have to stop by caffe Dolce it's a must! Trust me you will not regret the atmosphere is perfect for both young and older adults, I really hope that this business stays around for many years to come. I will definitely be a returning customer.

I don't expect a smile, to each their own, BUT I was asking questions about the menu, and she would just walk away. I made the line, I waited for my turn for her to make it seem as I was giving her more work or being a bother. I didn't get her name but she is the skinny girl. In addition, the establishment is small, so there is no door between the kitchen and the counter, so the blender was heard. With the blender noise and the customers talking; I couldn't hear/understand the employee. HORRIBLE!! Lastly, this is MY 2 cents, the decor found on the table is nice YET the wall decor are not appropriate for the establishment. No need to have frames that say Just DIY... especially when your customers are from all areas and stop by to the establishment to enjoy a meal despite what is transpiring in life or having lost someone by suicide. There is a snack place right next door. That one is AMAZING!

You'll find yourself laughing, cringing, then laughing again at the display of mugs and artifacts with their creative sayings and IDGAF attitude. I was so captivated upon seeing it that I bought a mug from them since the message about sarcasm on the mug called my name. I may purchase another one there next time I find myself in Laredo. Impressive Borderland!

This coffee place was a great find. The hotel I stayed at had a tear off pad of local coffees and a self taken coffee tour in support of Laredo tourism. The vibe was great, and the baristas were friendly. I asked for a cortado which was not on the menu and they had no problems making it. That's when I know they are a real barista. The baked items are self serve and included biscotti and muffins. Every ounce of this coffee spot oozed creativity and uniqueness. There was so much to take in and absorb. Enjoyed this spot and encourage a try to anyone traveling into Laredo for work. Will definitely be back.

I've been there three times now, and will probably continue to come in the future for a quick lunch while I'm charging. The decor is cute and service is top notch. I've always been helped very quickly in the food has come out quick even when busy. The lack of five stars is due to the paninis. The bread seems average and didn't have as good of a crust as you normally expect with paninis. I ordered the vegetarian and the sandwich fell apart. It was very wet, probably from the mushrooms, and the flavor of thyme or rosemary overpowered any other flavors. I will say that the soups are delicious, perfectly creamy and delicious.

I had a Poblano sandwich which was fine, but seemed more Mexico than France. My latte was weak and small. The salad bar looked OK, but not my style of selections. It's not really a Patisserie with fancy desserts or a café, but it is a sandwich shop that would probably do a good job catering an afternoon tea type of event. On the other hand, it's right across the street from the Tesla Supercharger without many other walkable options. So I'd suggest a tea and a light sandwich or veggie soup.
