The worker here was so sweet and patient with me while explaining all the gelato flavors. There was plenty of seating and it wasn't too busy when I was here. The gelato was fantastic and I'd love to try more flavors! read more

Dolce Gelato Cafe - Layered cake - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Clinton Township, Michigan

Interesting cafe. We were searching for some gelato in Michigan since we have been craving it since we had some of the best on our summer vacation. We happened upon this place while we were on this side of town. It was pretty good. I got some sort of chocolate- hazelnut scoop with fudge, rice crispies, and vanilla cake. I enjoyed it. Since gelato tends to be a very small serving at a pretty large price, the double was small but not too small, and pricey but not too pricey. Overall it was a good experience. They had some interesting looking cakes and an espresso machine. Guests were ordering a lot of espresso that looked pretty good. read more

Dolce Gelato Cafe - a hand holding a bowl of ice cream - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Clinton Township, Michigan

Looking for some ice cream on this side of town, and found gelato. We hadn't had good gelato in a LLLONNNGGG time. Since the reviews were reasonable and the business was unclaimed on Yelp, then it could be legit, right? Interestingly, the ratio of men to women upon arrival was 4:1. Seems like guys enjoy drinking their espresso and kibitzing with their buddies. So obviously they also serve espresso drinks, along with other desserts, including small fruit tarts, cake, cookies, brownies, eclairs, cannolis, etc. Open space, lots of small tables inside and larger outside, comfortable temperature, bright. There was only one person working, it seemed. She was nice. Unfortunately, the tables were not wiped down, since we saw crumbs and dried up gelato on our table. But has anyone been to an ice cream shop and tables were always immaculate? Message me if you do. But, back to the gelato... At first blush, seeing that the gelato wasn't neon colors, rather muted pale, then it may be authentic. And it was. We tried chocolate, hazelnut, hazelnut-cake-whipped cream thing, and banana. Hazelnut was my favorite. Smooth, cool, and delicious. Disappointingly, the banana flavor tasted like Lafffy Taffy banana. A single scoop is 3.99; doubles 4.99. There were more size options. Overall, good gelato but cleanliness and atmosphere was ok. I recommend to take your's to go, and enjoy at a park. read more

Ice cream cake was amazing, and the service was fantastic! the place was very welcoming!! will be going again

All the gelato is great! The shop is very cute with nice photos. The music was a vibe. My cappuccino was amazing . The service is excellent!

The Gelato is really good! I got a vanilla gelato with espresso and it was delicious. There was one women behind the counter and she was very kind. Establishment is clean when the lady at the counter gets a second to clear out the cups from previous customers. Overall, really good spot for espressos and gelatos! read more

This is no longer Dolce Gelato so name should be changed and it's nothing like the old store and pictures on yelp here. One small ice cream area, very few flavors, missing the Italian part of it we loved. Staff was very nice but will not be returning, our all time favorite place is gone read more

I liked that we were able to get samples. I also liked how the gelato tasted. We also got a price of the cake and that was good as well.

Quality of food was phenomenal. If I were to give this a Michelin star rating I would give this the highest available which is six stars if I'm not mistaken. read more

I've lived here for 10 years and can't believe I just found this place. Their gelato is amazing! I like to mix the toasted marshmallow with the hazelnut. They are happy to give you a sample of any flavor you want. In addition to their amazing gelato is their cake selection. An added bonus you can buy many of the cakes by the slice. Everything thing I have tried here is perfect! read more

I live very close by and just discovered this play over the weekend. I'm so glad I did! The owner was at the counter as soon as I walked in and was very pleasant and helpful in filling me in on what each cake consisted of. It was such a quick and easy process. I totally loved the cake as did the rest of the family. I will be back for sure. read more

I was planning to go to dairy queen right across from Wise Guy's Bar at first but i found this place after a lil bit of research and decided to try it instead. Very nice place with many tables to sit and theres a patio outside. Theres many flavors to choose from the gelatos and best part is you can try and free sample on all of them. They even sell cakes and other italian pasteries. Im a hazelnut guy so i had to get a scoop of hazelnut and it was really good. Dolce Gelato Cafe is a fantastic place to indulge yourself with homemade natural ingredients ice cream while sipping a cup of joe. I'll definitely be back to try all of their flavors! read more

Went with the family, the inside of the cafe was very clean, the owner was so warm and friendly. She explained all the flavors and we were allow to sample before deciding our gelato flavors. There's nice sitting area outside as well. The serving sizes were very satisfactory! Will definitely go back. read more

Heavenly desserts, amazing gelato, and great coffee. What more can you ask for? Oh yeah, cute little umbrella tables in front to sit and enjoy your treats! And the staff here is very friendly and helpful. This is a hidden gem in Clinton Township for sure. read more

Dolce Gelato Cafe - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Clinton Township, Michigan

The service was great and fast. She was so apologetic for taking a while but it really wasn't taking long at all. Gelato is so creamy and the flavor is spectacular. Ambiance was nice too with pretty decorations and beautiful desserts in the case. read more

I have been driving by this place a thousand times over the years. Friday i went in on a whim on a the first warm day in early spring. First frozen dessert of the year. Glad I did. The gelatos was great. Pistachio and limoncello were my choices. The first creamy, the latter icey. Both excellent. I thought the price was fair for the quality and quantity. I will go back again. Sorry I missed out all these years. read more

Purchased the cookies and a beautiful fruit tart. Both were delicious. Quick service and good quality pastries! Can't wait to go back and try their coffee!! read more

I haven't tried many gelato places but this one is my favorite one to go to. Love this place and the staff is sweet. They have other sweets like whole cakes and pastries. Can also get a tub of gelato. Yum ! read more

Dolce Gelato Cafe - First time trying the toasted marshmallow. So delicious! I love this place - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Clinton Township, Michigan

Brought my Mom and Aunt to this place to try out (they've never had gelato before). Since it was a last minute thing I was praying they had fresh gelato (not like some other places that have like almost no gelato left). Luckily, they did have fresh and a great selection of flavors. We tried the hazelnut, strawberry cheesecake, and pistachio gelato. All the flavors tasted wonderful and especially the pistachio. The pistachio at other gelato places can taste more like almonds at other places but at Dolce Gelato Cafe it tasted like Pistachio! Overall, a great experience and a decent price. read more

Delicious homemade gelato! The owner is very sweet and will take good care of you! Try the vanilla and chocolate hazelnut, so good!

A hidden gem! This place has it all. The ice cream flavors are not your typical ones, they are creamy and their texture is just right. My absolute favorite ice cream flavor is Settvelle! Having said that, the cake and pastries are my favorite part, with so many options to choose from. Highly recommend this place. read more

Came in here after eating at Wiseguys. This is my first time here. Nice little Ice cream/ cafe. Not a very large selection of gelato but the ones they do have is delicious. I simple a couple of the gelato and decided Togo with setteveli and the tiramisu gelato. Very soft and lite. It was delicious. They also have a selection of cakes and fruit tarts. read more

I have never had any type of gelato short of wonderful here. The atmosphere is fantastic-- on any given day you feel as if you've been transported to Italy with futbol on TV, and older men drinking espresso and chatting in Italian. Their homemade gelato is all divine, my personal favorites being the white chocolate raspberry and the strawberry. Their canolli's are also off the hook (they're filled fresh when you order them) and generally only $.99 for a large one. All in all, Dolce Gelato is always a great (and great tasting) experience. read more

Really loved this place in Laguna. It reminded me of Italy. They had so many different flavors and such quick service. If you are looking for a sweet treat in Laguna on a hot summer day, this is your place! read more

Very Poor customer service. My family and I have spent a lot of money at this place over the years, we have always enjoyed their products. I try to return a cassata cake because the chocolate in the ricotta is tasteless and has the texture of plastic. I get accused by the owner (Piera) of trying to return leftovers. How rude! No respect at all. Vergognosa e arrogante! Non vi meritate quello che avete! Fate SCHIFO! read more

Ok, so I try not to hand out 5 stars for just anything, but the gelato at this place is nothing short of amazing. The best ice cream type treat anywhere around (and I've tried quite a few.) They have a ton of amazing flavors and I've never had anything that wasn't fantastic. You won't be disappointed. The girls that work here are so nice and are happy to mix flavors together for you and let you try whatever you'd like. The highlights for me are banana, nutella, tiramisu, and white chocolate raspberry. They also have gelato cakes and cannoli here that are really delicious. Go there. Do it. read more

This is a very important spot for my fiancé and I as it was the perfect first date place in the summer 2010, and has been a staple in out romantic celebrations since. This cozy café with patio chairs has an excellent assortment of real gelato, and they always have a new flavor to feature. There are sometimes a few Italians hanging out on the patio but it is a very inviting place, legit gelato (a rarity), easy to locate, and certainly affordable. Everything you could want in a gelato shop you can find here. read more

This place is completly AWESOME! I never want to leave it, well at least not with out a quart of Gelato! And a cannoli! Oh yeah, my wifes review is a thousand times better than mine. read more

Dolce Gelato Cafe - Best place for desserts ever! - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Clinton Township, Michigan

I really enjoyed Dolce Gelato Cafe. The cafe truly reminds me of a gelato cafe one would find in Italy. The woman behind the counter was very friendly and certainly Italian. They had both classic and unique flavors of delicious gelato. I personally tried the Pistachio, Nutella, Coffee, and Cassata. All flavors were excellent, but the Cassata stood out with the chunks of cake throughout. Dolce also sells gelato cakes, cassata cakes, croissants, and coffee beverages. The atmosphere is truly Italian with small tables to enjoy your gelato or espresso and Italian Serie A soccer on the TV. Overall, a great experience. Mangia! read more

First gelato I've had since my trip to Italy this past year & it was delicious! Adorable place, cheesecake & cafe were delicious read more

Dolce Gelato Cafe - Pistachio, cannoli, cafe & cheesecake flavored. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Clinton Township, Michigan

They have the best homemade gelato in the metro Detroit area. Plenty flavors to choose from. The service wasn't that great. My group ordered a few gelato's as well as two cappucinos. We were given lukewarm cappuccinos. Seriously? I wish I had said something but they had a few customers waiting in line and we were in a hurry to get somewhere. Besides that, I would have rated them five stars instead of four. Hopefully next time they don't disappoint. read more

I agree with other Yelpers, this is definitely a hidden gem! Had the key lime gelato...AMAZING! On another visit, we stopped in for brunch and tried the crepes and coffee...EXCELLENT. Can't say enough good things about this place. read more

I can only comment on the espresso, which was smooth, not too bitter, and had the perfect amount of amazingly wonderful crema. The woman at the counter wasn't very friendly, but who cares, the coffee was the whip. read more

Unfortunately I did not enjoy the cake I purchased from this cafe. I picked up a cassata cake which had a very odd flavor. It tasted like they put too much vanilla or something in the actual cake. The cannoli filling had a thick consistency. I have purchased cassata cakes from other places and they never tasted like this. Also they were unable to write the a name on the cake so instead I had to get a piece of chocolate with writing already on it. Very disappointed. read more

So yummy!! The owner took care of me and she was the sweetest thing! I will definitely come back!

please, whatever you do... DONT come here. It is a rip off and overpriced. This place was recommended by a friend. Place a semi huge order with the owner weeks prior and asked if she's able to do it. She said yes, she can do it. 1-2 weeks leading to the date for the sweets to be ready I ask the owner to provide cost and grand total. She wouldn't give exact. A few days to a week leading to the event I ask again about final cost and confirmation to pick up everything the day before. she gives me a price (different than the first time) and tells me my stuff won't be ready until the day of the event in the morning when she opens the cafe. I accepted and the day of event I call and ask for the owner and the lady tells me the owner is gone For the day. So I tell the lady I'm coming shortly to pick up the sweets and then the owner magically appears on the phone. She's apologizing and telling me to come later that morning so everything will be ready. I told her I can't due to the event starting early and everything needs to be picked up then. As I walk into the cafe, it is crowded and EVERY table is full... NO ONE IS MASKING. Not the owner, the employees or the customers. She made me wait 30 more minutes at the store because my order was still not ready putting me behind the rest of the day. I will NEVER frequent this place again--first and very terrible experience. Save your money for elsewhere. I told all my family and friends not to come here. read more

Amazing! I have very high taste when it comes to food and Dolce Gelato Cafe is on top of their game. This was my first time here but it won't be my last. I had toasted the coconut gelato and it was on point! I can't wait to come back again. read more
