    We arrived 10 minutes before closing, but the employee was very nice and served us! He was patient with letting us try multiple flavors. The inside is clean, and there is lots of seating! We got the $7 medium size with 3 flavors: coffee, mascarpone and figs, and cream dolce Neve (custard with lemon zest). All the flavors were creamy and so delightful! By combining the coffee and the mascarpone flavor, it was basically like tiramisu! I appreciated how the lemon zest had a strong lemon flavor.

    A small place with a relaxed atmosphere to enjoy ice cream. Every day they have different flavors. I loved that they have vegan options, and the customer service was exceptional. Maya patiently explained each flavor to us and was very kind

    The best gelato in Houston. I think the owners might have taken my previous feedback seriously, which is great news. I've been to Dolce Neve twice since my last review and the improvements have been noticeable. The last time around (7/21) the front fridge was back in service, the place was sparkling clean again and the lady at the counter was even going outside to clean the tables despite the place being very busy.

    Came here for a scoop after dinner in the heights. They have a rotating assortment of gelato flavors and all the ones we sampled were great. Authentic gelato experience.

    Thank you for the exceptional service, CJ!! We came in a big group of 10 and were lucky to have someone who accommodated and served us so well. I would 10/10 come again because not only was the gelato delicious, but we also had a good time hanging out there.

    I was wanting to enjoy this experience more, but I found the overall flavors coupled with cost to not stack up. I ordered their medium, which allowed me to get up to 3 flavors, and it came out close to $8...just feels steep. For the flavors I tried the namesake Dolce Neve, the Madagascar Vanilla, and the Malted Milk. All of the flavors were good, nothing really stood out minus the Dolce Neve. As I came by on a Wednesday afternoon, there was no one else in the shop so it was an easy ordering experience.

    Goat cheese pecan. Yum!

    We came on a rough day when only two or three flavors were left. But the flavors we got were chef's kiss. This is quality stuff you have to eat slowly and savor. Ambiance was aesthetic, perfectly Instagrammable.

    A waiter slipped us the clue that this was IT when it comes to gelato... and he was RIGHT!! I can't think of a place that even slightly comes close to how tasty the gelatos are here. Fromage Blac + Berries | 8.3/10 Yes, Fromage = cheese, but hold the phone - it ain't your aunt Sally's cheese.. it's sweet, sweet, European cheese *chef's kiss* it tastes much more like a slightly honey & rich, creamy combination surrounding various berries. Very well balanced! Hazelnut Gelato in a Waffle Cone| 9.85/10 Wow.. this literally tastes like Ferrero Rocher! Without a doubt! & the cone... fantastic. It has a slight cinnamon taste! We WILL be back!!

    Dolce Neve is by far my favorite gelato shop and one of the only few in the Heights area! While they change up their flavors I really like their staple chocolate flavor such as Chocolate 100% from Ghana. While seating is limited to outdoor seating which is super limited, service is always a breeze for a quick cooling treat!

    Are the desserts pricey?

When I stopped by on a weekday evening at 9pm it was packed. They had stations setup throughout the store to order different goods, which helped to alleviate the rush. Knafeh ($6) - They offered 2 types of knafeh, one with cheese and one with custard. I went with the one made with Nabulsi cheese and topped with shredded phyllo, and soaked in sugar syrup. It was warm, crispy and delicious! Karak tea ($5) - This milk tea drink was made with aromatic spices, primarily cardamom, cloves, ginger and cloves. I was happy to see they used whole milk instead of evaporated milk. The drink was incredibly rich and creamy and tasted great. Turkish delight ($18 / lb.) - This was extremely fresh, soft and chewy, made with cornstarch, sugar, nuts. Some of the varieties I tried had chocolate and/or fruits. The baklava here was fresh made with layers of phyllo dough, chopped nuts, and held together with some honey. The nut offerings here included, almonds, walnuts, peanuts and a few more. Overall I was impressed with everything they offered here with the exception of the nuts, which I thought were just ok. I'd definitely return if I was in the area.

Also got a bag of chocolates, which are weighed by the pound. The only qualm I have is that the chocolates are not labeled, so when you mix them all together, it truly is a bit of a Russian roulette on what you'll get. Everything was super yummy. Will definitely need to be back!

Inside you will also find French pastries, coffees and teas, gelato, milkshakes, sandwiches and macaroons. I felt the most interesting items were the French pastries as they are cute and tasty as well. Also, they plate the pastries nicely when you dine in as an added bonus. I tried the Chocolate Royale and the Ruby. Chocolate Royale - a petit chocolate mouse slice with flat chocolate panels along the sides. It is delicate and tasty. If you're a chocolate lover, this is definitely up your alley. Ruby - visually this looks like a strawberry Hershey kiss, with red powder on the exterior and a top piece of foil to resemble foil on the wrapper of a hershey kiss. Inside, it's filled with a strawberry cream and has a chocolate base. I just wish there was more chocolate in this one. They have plenty of seating inside as well as along the sidewalk. Inside you have the more fancy tables, whereas outside, they're more weather resistant and not as upscale in appearance. The soft drinks to drink along with your sweets are in a cold case along the hotel side of the space and you just take them to the register as you order. One of the most surprising things when you come here are the relatively affordable prices as you might expect them to be more for being a coffee shop attached to a 5-star hotel with a helipad.

What's nudged this place up to 5 stars for me is they have really improved their coffee game, specifically their quality of cappuccino's. Previously it seemed more of latte, but now to me its a legit Capp. Their choice of pastries hasn't changed, which gives you a good assortment of choices and they have added an additional barista or server which also is a nice touch for service. The only niggling items, parking can be tough, so you'll have to either walk a block or be quick to find a place close by. Regardless, definitely give this place a go to come for a pastry and coffee.

Since we were already in the area after breakfast at TJ's Filipino Cuisine, we finally got the chance to stop by and try their baked goods for ourselves. We arrived early, so the bakery wasn't too busy yet. The bakers were busy prepping more goodies in the back while my cousin and I browsed all the Filipino baked goods we really miss from back home in the Philippines. They even had suman, sapin-sapin, biko, and other kakanin, which was nice to see. I specifically looked for the chicken empanada, and my cousin wanted to try the ube white chocolate chip cookie. We also saw different kinds of siopao and planned to come back later to buy some before heading back to San Antonio. We tried the ube white chocolate chip cookie first, but honestly we weren't totally satisfied. It tasted more like a regular white chocolate chip cookie with purple coloring and didn't really have much ube flavor. I also tried the chicken empanada. My cousin didn't like it because it was sweeter than expected--we were both expecting it to be savory. There seemed to be caramelized sugar in the outside of the pastry, which probably added to the sweetness. I still like it, though it was definitely sweeter than what I'm used to. Red Ribbon's chicken empanada is still my favorite. Later that day before leaving Houston, we came back for the siopao we planned to take home. We finally decided to just buy a couple pieces for ourselves, heat them up in the bakery, and try them fresh. When we saw the price for a four-pack, we were honestly disappointed. It felt expensive for the size. The siopao wasn't huge, and while I like the dough, there wasn't much chicken filling inside. For the portion, taste, and quality, it felt overpriced. Overall, it's probably not worth making another trip back for us. We did enjoy the cassava ube suman, and I like the chicken empanada, but not enough to drive all the way to Houston just for those. If I live nearby, I might come back to try other baked goods, but based on this visit, I'm not sure the rest would impress my palate. I still give them credit for cleanliness and customer service, although we did notice fruit flies on one of the shelves and reported it. The staff was friendly, and the bakery itself was welcoming. At the end of the day, since they're a bakery, the expectation is great-tasting, quality, mouthwatering Filipino breads, pastries ", and kakanin. While some items were enjoyable, overall it just didn't quite live up to the hype for us.
