My family and I stopped in for some cupcakes for a treat after lunch! The inside was super cute with a few places to sit and the people workin were all super friendly and patient as we picked out flavors. We grabbed three flavors of their cupcakes. The Mama Bear which is, Chocolate cake topped with cream cheese frosting, garnished with a raspberry. The Chocolate Peanut Butter Bliss which is, Chocolate cake baked with a peanut butter cup, topped with peanut butter frosting, garnished with a peanut butter cup. And lastly, I got their flavor of the month cherry almond which I could not find the full description for. All of the cupcakes were to die for, but my favorite was hands down their cherry almond. So moist, sweet, and the frosting on top was light and perfect. We will definitely be coming back for more treats soon. read more

One of our best local finds. Consistently amazing and would 100% recommend to anyone looking for cupcakes

I've been getting cupcakes for family events here for years! So many great flavors, perfectly delicious, and so friendly. Thank you!!

Wonderful place!! I crave it all the time... Stopped in on my lunch break to a surprise: they redid the inside! It feels much more spacious. There's more room for all the treats to be displayed as well (I included a picture). I do not know her name, but every time I have gone in, there is one woman who always gets my cupcakes for me. She is very friendly! Thank you to her. And also, thanks for my cupcakes! About those.. They're just perfect. They don't pile frosting on top of them like some places do. The frosting that is there is airy and sweet-doesn't feel gritty or heavy. The cake is just *chef's kiss* I can't even explain it. Just go try it. You have to. I will be there again soon... you should too read more

Cute little shop dedicated to CUP CAKES!!!! There were about 6 flavors to choose from. I was hoping for a cannoli cup cake but it was not on the daily offerings. I ended up with the vanilla cupcake. Frosting was great, but I found the cake part to be kinda dense and flavorless. (SORRY DOLCE) I also had the a sample of their chocolate and that was tasty for sure! Overall the shop was cute (but the base boards could use a dusting), the frosting was great, the service was kind and helpful and the parking lot is one way only. read more

OOOOH WOWZA! Paid a visit to Dolce Cupcakery yesterday for the first time in a long while. The space is beautifully situated on the canal at Schoen place, with a cute outdoor patio and well appointed interior. The first thing you notice when you walk in is the spread of a wide variety of cupcakes - SUPER tempting. This is a woman-owned business and cupcakes are baked fresh every day. They cater events and do a stunning pull apart cupcake wedding cake (or wreath or really whatever else you can think of.) They also serve coffee drinks, cake pops, and truffles - in addition to a few other goodies. Now let's move onto the most important reason for 5 star review: these are the best freakin' cupcakes I have EVER. HAD. I am for real! I left with the apple fritter (cupcake of the month!) and the eclair cupcake and both of them blew my sweets-loving mind. The apple cupcake was made from Schutts apples and has the most amazing crumble on top. The frosting is a spiced varietal that was just next level. I am a frosting gal (especially when the frosting is realllllly fresh and good) and dolce delivered with a light/tasty but sizeable frosting *poof* on both treats I tried. I also was lucky enough to sample two of her truffles. Do not skip these! I cannot wait until my next visit to Dolce Cupcakery! read more

I stopped in for a cupcake during the Pittsford Candle Light Night festivities and tried the red velvet cupcake in a cup. The cream cheese frosting was delicious and the entire cake and frosting combo was very rich. The cake was a little dry, but the amount of frosting made up for it and balanced it out. They had a few other cupcakes available to try, but I assume because it was later at night during a busy festival that they were starting to sell out. I am definitely interested in going back during the day to try other flavors. The interior of the shop is really cute, with the cupcakes displayed on a counter and a few big chairs to sit in. The staff was also really friendly. read more

Delicious cupcakes. Amazing peanut butter frosting on the Peanut Butter Cup cupcake. The cake part of the cupcake was okay. They have a nice variety of flavors. Easy parking and access. Obviously a good snack anytime but it seems like a nice place to stop when strolling along the canal. read more

Tried all of the flavors. Best one was the carrot cake. The rest, although pretty, weren't the best. Cake was very dry, and not as flavorful as I hoped. Very nice staff and cute location. read more

Great spot for a sweet treat right along the canal in Schoen Place! My kiddo was immediately drawn to the peanut butter cupcakes. Dark chocolate cake was rich and moist and the perfect compliment to the whipped peanut butter topping. Not overly sweet and somewhat light. We will definitely return! read more

What a cute bakery! Dolce Cupcakery is located in a hidden plaza and you probably wouldn't know about it unless you frequent the Pittsford area often. The inside is a lot bigger than expected and smelled so good! There are quite a few tables to sit to enjoy your sweet treats or you can take a walk down the canal that's right next to the shop! The people there are super friendly and I'm already considering ordering future cakes from here because they can do dairy free! I visited the bakery to use my yelp coupon for a free cupcake and so glad I did! I got the seasonal pumpkin caramel cupcake. I didn't eat it until the late hours of the night but the cupcake held up really well. The frosting is harder than I expected when I took a bite but somehow the cream still stayed really smooth and melts in your mouth. The cake itself was infused with dripping caramel and you can tell it's a pretty dense cake as you peel off the cupcake lining. The cake was really moist but was still airy despite how heavy it seemed. I'm so sad I didn't try other flavors, and I will definitely be back! read more

My husband and I recently paid a visit and opted for several flavors to go. Cookies & Cream, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Cannoli, Strawberry Vanilla and Pumpkin Spice Caramel were calling our names. All were delicious but chocolate peanut butter and pumpkin spice really wowed me. Icing was light and airy and perfectly complimented the moist, delicious cake. Cookies & Cream and strawberry vanilla were close second place. Cookies & Cream was a great take on a traditional flavor (love the chocolate cake), while strawberry vanilla was most surprising. It tasted like a delicious muffin with strawberries throughout, however I didn't care for the icing as much. My husband loved the cannoli, but I was not a fan. The store itself was adorable, with amble room inside to enjoy plenty of cupcakes and coffee. read more

Very good cupcakes and tons of options. I went here as part of an elite opportunity and left with nearly a dozen cupcakes. The Oreo was probably my favorite, but all of the options were very good. I was sad the carrot cake cupcakes weren't on option, and will have to go back to get one. read more

I stopped into Dolce Cupcakery with two of my kids during the Yelp Elite Week event. The shop is tucked back behind Label 7 in Schoen Place, but it was easy to find thanks to a logo-ed sandwich board in front of the entrance to the back area. The shop is also easily spotted once you are on that little road. My kids each ordered a cake pop, and despite getting them to-go, they ended eating them inside because they wanted to sit at one of the cute café tables. There was ample seating (both table and comfy) and it was warm and cozy inside. The Red Velvet cupcake I had was delicious and not too sweet, which I appreciated since I ate it before lunch. I will definitely be back for more cupcakes in the future! read more

Dolce Cupcakery is my go-to cupcake bakery! When I go there, I have a hard time deciding which flavors to pick because every cupcake I've tried is ahmazing! I'm traditionally a plain vanilla fan (I know, I'm boring) but I cannot get enough of their chocolate cupcakes as well! Their chocolate peanut butter bliss cupcake may be the most delicious treat I've ever had! It's such a quaint, cozy, bakery! I can't wait for our next celebration because I know what we are ordering! read more

I never knew about this little hidden gem until I visited with my daughter for a Yelp Elite Event. The atmosphere when we pulled in the entrance it gave me a Adirondack feel with the little shops! When we went into Dolce Cupcakery we were greeted with a smile in a quaint setting. The cupcakes are delicious!!! I can certainly say we will return. read more

Dolls Cupcakery is a rival place just down the street that makes Cupcakes that look like Barbies. They taste a little plastic but maybe you're into that. However Dolce is one of the more popular cupcake spots in town, so I stopped here with my friend who is obsessed with both Cupcakes and with Cannoli, and we shared a "Cannoli Cream Cupcake." Neither one of us was at all impressed. It was overly sweet, and not particularly nommable. We didn't even finish it, despite the fact that we were splitting it. We ended up giving it to her daughter - who will eat anything - ahem - and she liked it. 3 stars for being a locally owned place, but the prices and the overly-sweet taste don't do it for me. read more

Went for the first time today. The service was amazing and it was easy to get in and out. Tried the cannoli cupcake as well the peanut butter cupcake--both were spot on. Having the cannoli cupcake gave us the chance to also get a small taste of the cannolis as a small one is the garnish on the cupcake, which didn't disappoint at all. The only thing that holds me back from a 5-star rating was the price. Other bakeries in the area will give you more for the same price either in terms of size or elaborate flavors. Don't get me wrong, there is certainly value at Dolce as they seem to deliver on quality. I'll definitely be stopping back whenever I make my way to Pittsford again. Good stuff! read more

Dolce Cupcakery helped me pull off a perfect surprise. Our company wanted to show some customer appreciation by delivering a small cake to one of our customers. We're based out of Minnesota, so I was nervous about pulling this off from out of state. Dolce Cupcakery went above and beyond to put me at ease long distance and they took care of everything. We wanted a very specific web address on the cake, and they confirmed the spelling multiple times and even tested the web address on their computer twice to make sure they had it right. They delivered it right on time, called when the person wasn't home, and helped me figure out an alternate plan to make sure the cake found its way to the recipient. The folks at Dolce Cupcakery are kind, conscientious, friendly, and go above and beyond. I would trust them again for any order in a heartbeat. read more

Perfect for special occasions! I ordered mini cupcakes for my husband's 40th cocktail party. Everything is made the day of so they were perfectly fresh. I knew they were delicious but I couldn't believe they take the time to garish the mini's too! The Chocolate had a nonpareil candy and the Vanilla had a tiny vanilla wafer! I got Toffee Caramel Crunch and Pumpkin too! Yum! They made a beautiful display before everyone devoured them! Bonus: The bakery is located in the back of Schoen Place, so parking is a breeze! Can't wait to taste the holiday flavors! read more

Dry cupcakes. Tasteless frosting. I keep hoping the cupcakes will improve, but so far, no. I brought my 2 nieces here and they wouldn't eat the cupcakes after one bite. And they LOVE cupcakes. Disappointing. read more

Stopped in as part of the elite event to get my free cupcake, but also bought another and tried a truffle while I was there. The lady was nice and helped me quickly. I think the truffle was called a buttercup and while I don't know exactly what that means, it was delicious. As for cupcakes, I was a little bit disappointed in the flavor selection. A few basics (vanilla, chocolate, peanut butter, red velvet) and then toffee caramel something and cannoli. I ended up with two cannoli, and while not the best cupcake I've ever had, they were pretty good. The cake itself reminded me more of a muffin and was slightly dry around the edges, but the flavor was good as was the filling and frosting. I was most impressed that the cannoli shell sitting atop the frosting was not soggy, so there. Don't even know how that's possible, so it was very exciting. I dont think I'd ever go out of my way to get another cupcake here, but if I was just strolling around shoen place I wouldn't turn one down. read more

I am SHOCKED that Dolce has two locations in Rochester. It totally blows my mind, as I do not see how they could find funding for it when the product they make is so abysmal. The cakes are lacking in salt, flavor, and moisture, and the frosting tastes of shortening and lard and lacks any flavor. Also, because they put SO MUCH FROSTING on each cake, it makes every cupcake 100% inedible. It's as if they don't even taste the finish product. One time I went I tried four different cupcake flavors to see how they would go down - Oreo, Apple Spice, Chocolate Peanut Butter, and Chocolate Mint. Outside of the Apple Spice cake, I was searching for something that would taste like the flavor they advertised. All I got was a little hint of something here and there Their presentation is nice, but that's the only thing i can say for this local cupcakery. I would sooner buy cupcakes from Walmart than ever considering the purchase of another cupcake from here. read more

Best mini cupcakes. Flavors were outstanding!! Nicely packaged and pick was easy with delivery Tovar at pick up.

I'm writing this review with tempered enthusiasm. On the one hand the ladies at Dolce know how to pop out some good cupcakes, but on the other hand, the place is so far away I can't see myself going back anytime soon . Hope you have your passport current, this joint is far, far away. Exaggeration? Perhaps, but not by much. Dolce is way out in the sticks, past the pittsford wegmans. Located in a very intruiging quaint little "shopping plaza". I hate to even call it that because its has way more personality and cool stuff than a typical mini mall, but I digress. Came here armed with a groupon for 20 bucks. Seeing as all the cupcakes they sell are $2.50, I wound up getting 8 cupcakes. There goes my hopes of getting ripped in 2012. In any event, they have a few flavors of cupcake that are daily standards and then rotate other flavors. If you want specifics the info is on their website. I got an assortment and thought the cake quality itself was better with the chocolate cake based cupcakes, if that makes sense. But overall the cupcakes were all frosting covered, gut busting, impressively decorated orbs of nostalgic yumminess. And at $2.50 a pop I thought the price was totally reasonable. So yeah, if you have some frequent flier miles racked up and want some cupcakes, head out to this place read more

Love this cupcakery! All Dolce Cupcakery does is cupcakes, but in my opinion, they do them the best! They make almost 50 flavors of cupcakes (all available for advanced orders) and they offer 8-10 flavors in the store each day. The "Daily Five" are Signature Vanilla, Signature Chocolate, Momma Bear, Chocolate Peanut Butter Bliss, and Cookies and Cream - which they have every day. The other in-store flavors vary and are posted on their facebook page every morning. The custom decorating they do is amazing - I did a jumbo cupcake with Yoda on it for my boyfriend's birthday and he LOVED it! Hard to pick just one favorite flavor but a few of mine are Pucker Up, French Toast, Chocolate Raspberry, Coconut and Chocolate Peanut Butter Bliss. Oh, and one more important note, they offer GLUTEN-FREE cupcakes both in the store and by special order. read more

THE SERVICE HERE IS HORRIBLE!!! Typical Pittsford snottery, they can't be bothered to make sales or come out from the back. The management is just clueless when people are standing in line waiting. The cupcakes may be good, but they are SOOOOO not worth the horrible service. They are not the only game in the area any longer. read more

Not a wide selection, but tasty.

Tried to place an order on line today for delivery and ran into some issues so I called. 1st, there is no on line option for delivery. 2nd, when I checked the hours of operation on the website, they appear to be open on Friday and Saturday between the hours of 12:30 PM & 1:00 PM. That must be quite a busy 30 minutes for them. It's too bad, because I was trying to arrange a significant order for a birthday party and I really wanted to give this woman owned operation my business. Looks like I'm going elsewhere. read more

Brought a dozen cupcakes of all varieties to a reunion picnic. Everyone raved about them! They were freshly baked, beautifully decorated and tasted great. People wanted to know where I had purchased them. I shared the brochure with the many flavors available, gluten free options and wedding catering...people were very impressed. The owner is on site and great to meet. I highly recommend them for any party or function. read more

Sad to report that in my opinion, they were very nice people, but subpar cupcakes. Dry, heavy cake and frosting was meh. No filling! Why have a cupcake shop when you don't fill them with something yummy? Not worth the large price tag. read more

I went in not too long ago, a week or so maybe, and the cupcakes were incredibly dry and boring flavor wise. Several other reviewers have suggested it, but I could really only agree when I went in more recently. Even though the product has always been a bit average in my opinion, the price and service made it worth it even though the frosting had a bit of a greasy taste sometimes. I have been in the past, about a year or so ago, and loved it (more than Wegman's anyway), but they're under new ownership and I think it shows. I called to place an order for a party my sister was throwing before I went in a few weeks ago, and I got left on hold for so long that I finally had to hang up. When I went in I had a coffee related cupcake and it had a horrible aftertaste that was so disappointing. The cupcakes themselves are one thing, but the woman who I can only assume was the owner was at a table in the middle of the shop with payroll spread all over in the most unprofessional fashion and completely ignored me when I came in before someone from the back came out to help me. As much as I love cupcakes at such an affordable price, I'll be giving my business to Sugar Mountain (I'm so sad that Dollop closed) even though they cost a bit more. I think their product is consistently better and the higher price is worth the better service. read more

I have purchased Dolce cupcakes for several occasions. They are loved by all and are always the hit of the party. I would highly recommend them for any party or function you may have! read more

Actually I'd give them 4 stars, but I added one more to compensate for all the negative reviews. They make very good cupcakes and they make them everyday. They do not freeze them into bricks like every other place in the town, including the Village Bakery. Given the bar is set so low, the easily cross it. The cupcakes are fresh, moist and frosting is delicious. Unless your bakery does that please STFU, and please don't compare to some NYC place you visited three summers back. read more

I do love me some cupcakes, and therefore have tried many cupcakes at many locations. I tried two different cupcakes at Dolce. I just read a few of the other reviews and they are all over the map. I will say that the cupcakes are not horrible and I don't think that there is too much frosting. But that said, I am not impressed either. The cake portion is oily and tastes like a boxed commercial cake mix. Cheap. The frosting was not too bad, but had a somewhat artificial taste about it. I really can't believe that they get away with charging $3.25 per cupcake. I was previously living in San Francisco and had cupcakes at Kara's Cupcakes, which used primarily local and organic ingredients, and the quality and taste easily surpassed this place's cupcakes. Guess what they charged? $3.25. A larger and more expensive city, and much better all around cupcake for the same price. Enough said. That said, I haven't had a better store bought cupcake than Kara's...yet. read more

These cupcakes are ok - they're aesthetically pleasing and the bakery is cute. And what location could be better than the confectionary kitschy canal shops at Schoen Place for a cupcake shop? Being in Pittsford helps, but the cupcakes on their own are fairly average. Tasty but nothing wow-worthy. (head to dollop!) read more

I have to say, I'm honestly shocked by the positive reviews on here. These are some of the worst cupcakes I've had. The cake was very dry and flavorless, not unlike cornbread in texture. The vanilla frosting had little flavor and almost tasted like straight butter or Crisco. On top of the less-than-stellar cupcakes, the service was terrible. The woman working at the counter was incredibly stuck up and rude. For the same price, you can get some fantastic, delicious cupcakes in major cities (ie. Georgetown Cupcake, Curbside Cupcakes). To ask $3 in Rochester for something Wegmans or even Tops does better, is absurd. I will not be going back. read more
