Stopped by Café Dolce on a weekday afternoon. I got a few Pecan Cups, a few Raspberry Kolacky, and a couple of the Italy Boot Sugar Cookies to go. We ate these over the next day or two and everything was very good. The dough on the Kolacky was well executed. The caramel in the Pecan Cups was particularly buttery and delicious. My one complaint is I didn't think they had a very large selection or that it was particularly Italian. I didn't see any of the cannoli or little cookies. Maybe it was because it was later in the day? Cute place though especially if you are in the neighborhood. I'm sure I'll be back! read more

Excellent customer service and wonderful chai latte. The decorated sugar cookies were also delicious

Well this place is just adorable. Good pastries, leaning more on the authentic Italian side. I got some sort of pastry filled with cannoli cream, and also the best darn cappuccino I've had in the city. Next time I'll try the cannoli, they fill them to order here. Good sign. read more

Cafe Dolce - Cappuccino with a pastry - Cafes Near Me - St Louis, Missouri

This is an amazing spot on The Hill to grab a cup of coffee. I'd like to highlight that walking in the door there is almost always a customer who looks up and smiles in this establishment or out on the outdoor patio, oten a wave or a hello, sometimes by people you know and sometimes complete strangers. The staff is great and as I understand the owners are from the same neighborhood as the business. I mean, who doesn't love supporting small/local. They have a great selection of morning treats and Italian cookies, in addition to a excellent coffee menu. The store is bright and has Italian Decor on the walls which makes the wait for your coffee pleasant while you listen to the locals talk about all the things that are going on in their world. My only criticism would be that when you walk back to the counter where the line forms that there is a tight spot when it is busy. But never once has that not been met with anything but kindness from the costumers that are waiting for their cup of Joe. A true sign that happy customers are present, means that they will get my return business. read more

Beautiful European style coffee shop in the heart of The Hill. Their pastry selection is wonderful. My son and I each had a French cream lobster roll. OMG it was amazing, and so big we really should have shared one. They offer a nice selection of traditional coffee drinks but what I really love is their Illy nitro cold brew. I'm addicted to it! Friendly owners and perfect outdoor seating make this spot a winner! read more

I ordered a 4-shot americano which was $10 For $10 I expect it to be great because it's $5/6 at any other coffee shop. It was smooth and can't complain, but I didn't think it was anything special to justify the price. I hate to be the first person to give them less than 5 stars, but considering the price it wasn't anything special and would never go back for coffee drinks. read more

So glad we found this sweet little café! Stopped in on a Saturday afternoon and had an excellent cup of coffee, and the cannolis!!!!! And to make it even a better experience, there was plenty of Italian being spoken. It was an all around awesome stop. Highly recommend! read more

This super cute cafe in the heart of The Hill captures the essence of this sweet Italian neighborhood. Great coffee (I got mine iced with a splash of cream) and selection of cookies and tasty treats. I got a chocolate drizzled macaroon that perfectly satisfies my sweet tooth. It was fairly busy inside and not a lot of mask wearing if that is important to you. And parking was tough on Saturday afternoon so you may want to give yourself a few extra minutes. read more

Very quaint and well appointed coffee shop. I ordered a cappuccino which unfortunately was not made correct. What I got was a latte. They offered to fix it with an extra shot and that was very kind, but that wouldn't correct this. I can't comment on the quality as this is my first and last visit here. But you will need to experience for yourselves. read more

Cafe dolce has an amazing authentic selection of fresh Italian cookies. And they make the best Latte with Illy coffee that my husband and I have had in years. It's a charming and clean breakfast spot. They also have breakfast sandwiches read more

I was actually pretty excited to see a new cafe in the heart of the Hill, I've lived in Italy for a while and recently spent some time in Sicily before COVID hit and looked forward to the pastry selection in particular. First of all after chatting with the staff a bit, it turns out the pastry is sourced in Chicago, which is not terrible, but its not especially local either, on the good side they do fill the cannoli as they sell them. The barista needs a refresher course as I saw little difference between a cafe latte and a cappuccino. All in all, its not a terrible place and feel bad to offer a mediocre review to a new place but perhaps things will improve. read more

Cute coffee shop with really good pastries! I didn't love my latte but I would be willing to try it again and maybe order something more standard instead of a flavored latte. read more

Cafe Dolce - Strawberry and cheese danish - Cafes Near Me - St Louis, Missouri

Small coffee and bakery in the heart of the Italian hill. Street parking, indoor and outdoor seating. Have a variety of espresso coffee drinks, cold and hot, chia teas made to order. Bakery items are scones, cookies, and biscotti. Have a couple of breakfast sandwiches on English muffins. Service good. Went in a busy Sunday, mid morning, and took maybe 10 minutes to get all things ordered. Enjoyed my company. Serving size for breakfast sandwich more for the female appetite. Son-in-law probably could easily eat two. Great if you really need a fresh bakery fix. read more

One of the cleanest coffee venues I have seen for a while. Illy coffee rocks the house. Staff is extremely pleasant and engaging. Great selection of baked goods, especially cannolis. Nice outdoor seating. Maybe work on the iced mochas a little bit. Otherwise, highly recommend. read more

The best chocolate croissant I've ever had. I have eaten a lot of chocolate croissants. They are my guilty pleasure- and this was the best. The croissant was light, airy, soft, buttery, salty, and the chocolate was a creamy bittersweet. The combination was perfect. 10 out of 10 will tell everyone I know about that croissant. Then there was the anise biscotti. Oh my. I could eat that stuff every day of my life and still not have it often enough. Not too overwhelming or crunchy- exactly what it should be. Perfect. Coffee was slightly bitter- but if drinking with a delicious treat you need that to counteract the sweetness. Will be returning. Often. Maybe today. read more

Oh this is not good, I live a block from this wonderful place and they are going to get all my money. Cafe Dolce is a wonderful addition to the Hill with a great staff, delicious pastries, beautiful decor and a really good cup of coffee. I'm a Breve' fan and it's actually on their menu board. Most places it isn't and I feel like a coffee snob when I order one. We have had the Breve, lattes, mochas and iced tea and all were perfection... next up a nitro. Big huge plus is that they are open on Sundays. You may not think that is a big deal but another coffee shop a block over isn't, so I can have Sunday coffee now for a short walk instead of gettin in my car to go get one. Thank you Cafe Dolce !!! read more

Cute little coffee shop in The Hill that offers a variety of baked goodies and (Illy) coffee drinks. The Nutella pastry is delicious. Some seating inside and outside. Bring cash since it's a $10 minimum on credit cards. read more

During my visit to Cafe Dolce I was met by an unprofessional and disorganized staff who need to learn how to keep track of orders before they can learn to make coffee. There was no clear line for customers to wait in; we were all scattered around the store unsure of who was taking our orders or when we would be helped. When I finally got the coffee I ordered after the employee tried giving me the wrong drink, I was not impressed. I don't think anything in that store is made there. They use Illy coffee (which is bitter and not for classy coffee drinkers) and their pastries look mass produced. All in all, there are much better options for good customer service, parties, and coffee on The Hill. read more

Coffee and all the goodies are amazing but the service you receive is what keeps me coming back! Love this place! read more

I've lived here since December and am finally getting out and visiting places and this has been by far my favorite experience. I went to two cafes today and this one had so much more of a welcoming vibe and the staff was so much nicer! I believe I spoke with the owner and she helped me pick out two treats for my day seeing St. Louis. Definitely stop here if you're visiting the whole area is adorable. read more

Best expresso in Saint louis hands down. Very friendly staff. Perfect coffee shop experience.

I visited this Café just a couple days ago. My family is from Sicily. Obtaining real Italian pastry or a real, traditionally made Cappuccino is hard to do sometimes. YOU CANNOT GET A CAPPUCCINO At a gas station! You can get one here though! Believe me. Try the cannoli! AHHH! read more

Great coffee, and great selection of Italian cookies and wonderful atmosphere. They check all the boxes.

Cafe Dolce - These are especially tasty. - Cafes Near Me - St Louis, Missouri

This place is cute, but italian desserts are horrible. Im from NYC, know my italian desserts and wanted some while in STL so thought I'd check out this place on the hill. OMG, first test was asking the younger worker what the desserts in the case were. Long hesitation before she started naming things that I knew were not what she said. Older lady came over to help & after doing the same for a couple I corrected her and she said yeah that's it. Huge clue but out of desperation we ordered 2 things. They both we below mid. Would never come here again. People who rate this high need their heads examined or need to get a life outside STL in some real italian neighborhoods. And dont hire non-Italians who are clueless to work in the store. You should be embarrassed. read more

Amazing staff and coffee. So friendly and accommodating. Love every bakery item. Cute little cafe. Reminds me of my trip to Europe.

Hand stuffed cannolis to die for. A nice woman behind the counter. In a lovely, small cafe in an Italian neighborhood known as "The Hill." Easy Parking right on the street in front of the cafe. read more
