My friend wanted to try this place. When we visit eachother, we always have to find a dessert place. Although it is on the smaller side, they have a good selection of cakes and sweets. Yesterday my friend got the passionfruit cheesecake. We'll today it had me go back to get my own slice. It has the slight pucker from the passion fruit, to the creaminess of the cheesecake, with a graham cracker bottom. Deliscious!!! Looking for a good sweet to satisfy that need, this is a place to visit. You can get a whole cake or a slice!! I saw a couple of kinds of tres leches, strawberry short cake, to differnt kinds of mousse flavors and more. read more

Dulce Amore - Virginia As a Peruvian, I'm always on the lookout for places that bring the authentic taste of home and Dulce Amore did not disappoint! It was my first time trying it, and my friend (who's a big fan) took me for breakfast. We had pan con chicharrón and tamal peruano, and everything was absolutely delicious. I also took home some chiffon cake and an alfajor each bite reminded me of Peru. The service was warm and friendly, and the decor was adorable, full of charm and positive messages. Such a lovely experience, I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Virginia! read more

Cute little bakery. The empanadas are delicious and the service was great! The chicha morada was to die for. I think the whole pies were a bit pricey, but I guess that's given the inflation. Will come back! read more

The tres leches cake that I bought was really dry and dense, not what the pictures showed.

I discovered Dolce Amore Sweets at the Manassas Farmer's Market and was so happy when they opened their own shop. I visited their shop recently to buy our favorite Mini Alfajores and Peruvian Chocolate Cake. I love that I can buy Peruvian Chocolate Cake by the slice! And it's my favorite place to go whenever I'm craving for chocolate cake. My boyfriend really loves their mini alfajores and can finish a box in one sitting. I would also recommend their pianonos. The owner is also very friendly and I appreciate that they are always active on social media and still selling at farmer's markets. I'd love to try their other desserts one of these days. read more

This cute Peruvian bakery had absolutely delicious cookies! I tried the following: Rosquitas - These had a great crumble and went well with a cup of coffee! Alfajor de Maicena - These absolutely melt in your mouth and are filled with perfect dulce de leche Alfajor de chocolate - The chocolate flavor really kicked it up a notch for these. This was my favorite out of the bunch Spritz Cookies - So these are called spritz cookies because they are technically piped instead of using a cookie cutter! They were the perfect sized sugar cookies but fair warning. You will eat four of these before you realize how many you've eaten because they are that good! The crumble texture was amazing. Mini Caramel Horns - These are the alfajores in horn form! Also equally delicious. All in all, definitely stop by and find them because they have so many other baked goods on display, which means that there is something for every sweet tooth! Plus, everything is completely reasonably priced. Add that to the fact that the staff was extremely friendly, read more

I placed an order at this bakery (from out of state) based on just Yelp reviews. Customer service was top notch! The bakery answered all of my questions in a kind and professional way. They promised delivery and offered to text when they were planning to arrive. The cake was absolutely beautiful. It was a chocolate cake with whipped cream and strawberries. They even wrote a beautiful message in top! Absolutely excellent! I highly recommend! read more

Very quaint and delicious little sweet shop! My girlfriend is obsessed with dulce de leche and this is one of the very few places that we can find it engrained in a wide variety of their pastries. Aside from their baked goods they also have drinks. It is a nice place to come after dinner to just sit down, have a cup of coffee, and snack on some cake. I tried to order a dulce de leche cake here once and I never got a response through their website or e-mail so that was pretty disappointing. I may have to try again because it is very very tasty! read more

Absolutely INCREDIBLE! Purchased 5 different deserts and all were sooo delicious! Employees were so sweet and it's just a happy place! Will be back! read more

Dolce Amore Sweets - a variety of desserts - Cupcakes Near Me - Manassas, Virginia

I picked up some empanadas yesterday and were horrible! The dough was ok but the Peruvian empanas have either beef , chicken , etc . These tasted like garlic , the chicken looked like the filling had been blended. It looked and tasted nothing like a Peruvian empanada! I think, the price would make you hope you are getting something good to eat! Very dissatisfied! I could not therefore, wont try them again! Reply: to let you, I didn't know , there was a situation. I went to your store alone, I bought chicken empanadas, not beef and bought them to go . So, I did not eat them there with a friend ! Ty read more

Delicious Peruvian pastry and interesting ice cream flavors. Try the Tres Leche cake. Service was friendly and the bakery is decorated nicely. The chairs were stacked because it was the end of the night. We were lucky we didn't miss this scrumptious dessert. read more

Saw this place posted on a Facebook group for foodies and decided to stop in for dessert one day after lunch. The first impression was "Nice, Clean and Abundant!" They have a big cooler, loaded with treats when you walk in. They make cakes, sandwiches and other Peruvian items. Service was friendly and nice. Tres Leches was OK, it was fresh and moist, but a little too sweet. Overall, I'd definitely return! read more

Tried Dolce Amore for the first time today for lunch! The beef empanada and spinach empanada were both excellent! Also tried the fresh fruit tart! Beautifully made and absolutely divine flavor! Their selection of sweets is wide and everything looked perfect! On top of great food, the staff was friendly and attentive! Will absolutely be coming back soon and I cannot wait to try more desserts! read more

I loved that the owner is super engaged with her clients via social media. As a food critic, I think Dolce Amore's has one of the best Peruvian Chocolate and Lucuma cakes in the area. Along with the crustiness of a Peruvian breakfast sandwiches . I do think that there are three things the business may improve. First , buying an espresso machine. Second, better it's chiffon recipe which is very dry and not moisture as the original recipe. Last , having a restroom open for customers, this should be a must since I have visited the bakery shop more than once and it was out of ordered. Do not forget to try it's exquisite "rosquitas de anis " which is a very traditional Peruvian delight. Overall , very pleased with its service and I will recommend to three of its employees to do not forget to smile. ;) read more

This place is very cute! But pricey! I ordered a pionono slice and a tiramisu to go. I also ordered a chicken empanada to eat before my 50 minute ride back home. I decided to eat the empanada while it was still warm and boy am I glad I did because although it had a delicious taste to it, the empanada dough was incredibly dry so I can only imagine how crumby it must have been when cold. The pionono was delicious! And the tiramisu was pretty good as well but I am not willing to spend $15 on three items after nearly an hour drive. I would like to go back to try their ice cream or would consider this bakery to supply mini desserts for a small gathering. The small items seen in their glass galleries are sold by the lb which is someone what confusing because there is no price displayed for them even if it is the price per lb. I would say- if you are willing to splurge, why not give it a try? read more

I saw the ads on FB for this place and a friend told me to try it. I ordered pan con chicharrón Alfajores Leche Asada Surtido to go Chicken and Beef Empanada And everything was bomb.com The service was great, super friendly and welcoming. I'm looking forward to try the rest of the breakfast items and of course the rest of the cakes/desserts I would definitely recommend this place!!! read more

My family went here for desert after the Jukebox Diner, which is right next door. I also snagged some Carne Empanadas in addition to desert and thought to wax poetic about the pastry and crusy. The pastry surrounding the beef filling was light, buttery, and flaky baked to a golden brown. The crust of the pastry was delicately scalloped and flaky. The pastries and cookies looked like individual pieces of artwork. We look forward to the tamales. We also saw some gorgeous birthday cakes and my son is set on a soccer ball birthday cake. They had a wedding cake example that was absolutely stunning! The people in the bakery were nice and friendly and the bakery was clean. Even the hallways leading to the bathroom, that my son needed, were spotless. Prices were in line with a nice bakery, possibly a little less expensive when compared to some of the other cities of the same size, like Herndon, Reston, or Chantilly. read more

Expensive slices but pretty tasty ... although you could probably get equally good desserts at wegmans or Harris teeter

This cake shop should be on your list if you are looking for good desert. Jennifer and her staff are amazing. Great quality, outstanding customer service and the most important, tasty 3000% I recommend Dolce Amore to everybody!!! You will enjoy!!! read more

Love their pan con chicarrón. Always fresh. I've ordered delivery as well and it's always quick. They have good desserts as well

This is 3rd time here and I always thought that some of the prices are a bit high for my taste . The combinado was a little too sweet , but the rest of the trets were so good ,The lady who helped me was so nice and knowledgeable of the treats . I tipped and asked to put the money inside the jar , I asked if she was going to get her tip , but she was not sure . I wish I would have known this otherwise I would never would have tipped . Beside that the place is clean , organized welcoming that is why I travel almost one hour to get here . It seems like the owner is Christian I listened to the Christian song over and over , it was nice and pleasant . read more

The desserts are great but the employee working there was really rude and kept leaving to go to back asking me what I wanted and if I was ready yet, making it seem like she was impatiently annoyed by me not making a decision.I also asked what one of the desserts was and she just said it's cake. Then after speaking to her In Spanish she switched to English as if she didn't know what I was saying. Luckily I speak both perfectly. I was surprised because the reviews said she was friendly. read more

This Place is amazing! great variety of sweets and savory things. I had the chicken empanada and chocolate cake and both were really good. I'm definitely coming back !! read more

The best desserts! The staff is friendly and it's always super clean. Definitely recommend going here :)

This place used to have good empanadas but now it tastes terrible. I went to go get some today because I was craving but when I got the order, the empanada literally fell apart and it was all mushy, im not sure what's going but my coworkers and I don't come here anymore because of it. read more

Basic desserts like tres leches and leche horneada don't taste good at all, I will not try again!

A couple of weeks ago I ordered a Coconut cake from here for my mother's birthday celebration. The cake was good, so I decided to go today and try their tres leches since my birthday is coming up I thought why not taste it first and see if I am impressed with it and to order some other goodies for the family. I was really disappointed in the tres leches it was super bland and just tasted funny. My daughter ordered the velvet cake and well she is a kid and thought it was good. I had a bite and it just tasted old. The cheesecake was disappointing as well. I won't be visiting again any time soon. read more

This is probably one of my favorite dessert/pasty spots. Such a great atmosphere as soon as you walk in. All the staff are so welcoming and informative about their pastries. Will definitely recommend to all my friends and family. Ps: you have to try the alfajores they are amazing! read more

If you want authentic, mind blowing, delicious, mouth watering, memorable peruvian cafe eats come here. My girlfriend (peruvian) and I found this place out of nowhere and gave decided to give it a try. We grabbed the chicken empanada and the chocolate/dulce de leche cake slice. BOY LET ME TELL YOU- the empanada was AMAZING and it came with an amazing sauce. Dont skip on this one. The cake... ohh boy the cake. MUST GET. The whole time my girlfriend and I were eating the cake she kept saying that it reminded her of her childhood and its EXACTLY like how they make it in Peru. This is a great little shop and we will definitely be back for more! read more

Excellent cake and homemade ice cream. the lucuma chocolate mousse cake is excellent, as is the flan. Not too sweet either.
