This place gets one extra star for having plenty of seating and being a fairly quiet oasis in a busy pretentious shopping centre ;)
We came here for lunch ... I thought Dolce & Co was a sweets-only place - but it was nice to see a few savoury options, especially considering we had a hungry (and cranky) child in tow. Now the lunch menu is not extensive - a couple of (child-size) bagettes, a chicken salad and a quinoa salad. My partner and I had the latter, and kiddo had the smoked salmon baguette. While over-priced, these were all delicious! And there was the added bonus of a soy latte made with Bonsoy ;)
Out of three staff members, two were friendly (probably not a good idea to have the surly staff member at the register!). We didn't partake of the delicious sweets, but they are certainly very impressive (and I have tasted them before at their city store).
While I wouldn't come to Burnside specifically to visit Dolce & Co, it is certainly a nice lunchtime option that is a bit out of the way of the crowds ;) read more
