Cafe Dolce - Solvang: Reviews & Ratings

I don’t normally drink coffee, but the latte here completely won me over—smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced. The Danish pastries were fresh and flaky, and the pistachio shortbread cookie was truly unforgettable! I had read a few comments about rude customer service, but my experience was the complete opposite. I treated the staff with respect and was met with the same in return—everyone was warm, friendly, and helpful. It made the visit even more enjoyable. This place is a cozy gem with delicious treats and it’s open later than most shops around. I’ll definitely be coming back next time. Based on my experience a 4.4 rating is justified. Yes they Offer Milk Substitutes for their lattes!!

Had some good iced latte and Thai tea at Cafe Dolce. Very friendly staff and didn’t have to wait long for the drinks. Nice outdoor dog friendly seating area. The food looks good too! Recommend.

Super friendly and GREAT coffee! Especially if you like your latte’s on the sweeter side. The cafe has over a dozen flavored syrups, over 3 dozen ice cream flavors, and authentic baklava. Highly recommend!!

Last night, my family went to Cafe Dolce in Solvang for a sweet treat, and I decided to try their Dubai chocolate strawberry cup. This was an incredible dessert! The strawberries were huge and sweet, and the combination of the chocolate with the crispy kataifi and the creamy pistachio sauce was perfection. I could eat that weekly! Other members of my family really enjoyed the baklava, the Dubai chocolate baklava, the McConnell’s ice cream, tiramisu, and the cold brew. But my dessert was THE BEST!

Kind of a hole in the wall cafe that has the basics. More on the side of convenience instead of craft. The inside gives me early 2000s, John Mayer banana muffin vibes. The surrounding area is cute and the people are nice but feels like this place is missing something I’m not sure what it is but this place could be way better. I tried one of these Dubai Chocolates filled with pistachio (which was way over priced in my opinion $20 +tax). I probably wouldn’t get it again or recommend it to anyone… save your money and just eat some cereal with dark chocolate.

One of only a few open places eat after 6 pm on Monday May 19, 2025 in Solvang. Good variety of coffee based drinks, and smoothies. Has smaller menu for breakfast and sandwich.
