I got a box of assorted pastries to bring home and each one was incredible. My kids didn't like any of them... but ambrosia won me over. This is a refined place. The flavors are classic and textures are notable. Rich dark chocolate, real strawberry cream, flaky and intentionally packed with texture. No candy flavors or artificial stuff. Each item seemed like it was expertly crafted from a 150 year old recipe. This is a trek for me, and I'd happily make a morning trip to come here again.

I love that it is light, rich, but not overly sweet. I am a huge fan of chocolate mousse in cake and they have perfected it. And to top it off with the chocolate ganache... YUM! I told my husband it's probably the best birthday cake I've had and I hope he remembers that for next year. We also picked up some almond croissants and chocolate croissants and both were delish... to me they were a bit on the smaller side though. The cafe is really cute and clean with a sitting area. We came an hour before closing, so options were limited but they do have a big display case and would love to go back and check out what else they have to offer. I am a fan of flourless cake- so hoping to get to try a slice the next visit.

Crispy on the outside while chewy and moist from the inside. let me be very clear with this, her flavorings and consistency are so good and smooth, it will feel like you are eating them from a very high end French Bakery and it will always leave you wanting for more. Me and my husband are absolutely crazy about their macarons and we wouldn't go another route thats how much we are hooked on to them! Macarons are so special and they would personalize them for you. Please see attached photos of how they personalized them for my 9th anniversary. It was the perfect surprise for my husband. Thank you so much Dolceroons. We will forever be grateful for it. My favorite flavors are the Pistachio, Nutella and Cream Cheese ones and I have my eyes on her new flavors (Paan and Kashmiri Chai). I would absolutely recommend her with my eyes closed

We used Dolceroons for my daughter's wedding cake. We were planning on interviewing several…read morebakeries, but then our first call went so well with Sireen that we did not need to interview any others. Sireen's Instagram shows off her many artistic talents. She was recommended to us by our party planner, Alina Tariq, and by others. She has very unique flavor options (pistachio rose, Ferrero Rocher, pina colada, Kashmiri chai, caramel machiato, almond coffee toffee, and numerous others) for cake flavors. She works with the family to come up with the perfect design for the cake and the theme of the wedding. She offered sample tastings, and it was tough to narrow down to the number of tiers we had because we liked way more flavors than the tiers we were having. Sireen's cake was perfect for the wedding. It was as if our decorator made it. Everything matched the mood of the wedding so well, and it was also set up on time (at the last couple of weddings we attended, the baker was still setting up the cake during cocktails). Many of our guests and family members complimented the cake's taste and flavors. Unfortunately, I did not get to taste any during the wedding since we were so busy hosting. We did order an additional cake right after the wedding for my husband's 50th. I requested a new cake flavor: banana pudding! It was a hit, and I got to eat it this time too! The cake was decorated perfectly and tasted great (moist and not overly sweet). Sireen is really easy to work with and caters to your needs. She offers many other bakery items for parties as well. I look forward to working with her again for future parties, and you should too!
