I love this bakery. Everything they make is so good. This review update is for their rosca de reyes (three kings cake). I didn't know they offered them, but I called to ask and lucky me, they were accepting orders the day before! I ordered a medium rosa with a cream cheese filling and it was the best rosa I've had in Tucson. It wasn't dry and it wasn't covered in too much frosting or toppings. It was just right and all of our friends agreed. I hope they continue to offer the rosca next year, because I'll definitely order again! read more

I stopped over while waiting for a smoothie from next door, because I saw they had tamales, I bought a half dozen corn tamales for 14.00 - not bad at all! They also had flavored tortillas and all sorts of confections. The corn tamales were a good size and had great flavor and texture! It was a good as I was on the hunt for tamales! read more

I have ordered 2 cakes in the last week for family gathering and WOw!! Amazing taste!! The cakes are moist and delicious. We had Marble and Strawberry Cream and they were amazing!! Great value for the product. Bakery is very nice and the staff is very helpful read more

I preordered a cake for my daughter's birthday because tres leche is her favorite so we were really looking forward to it but unfortunately it just didn't meet our expectations. Collectively as a family, we found that it was pretty dry and not very flavorful. Additionally, I arrived after my cake pick up time and my cake still wasn't ready. We had to wait for them to add finishing touches and I was in a bit of a time crunch so it was a bit of a hassle that it wasn't ready but the staff member was nice and kind and helped as fast as she could. Based on these reviews, I wonder if it was a one off but I'm not sure I'll try it out again. read more

Yummy cake! Beautifully decorated, tasted great! We bought the mixed fruit white cake-it was a hit for our small b-day dinner. Will be coming back here! read more

Amazing tres leches! I would definitely buy again. Service was also great, and a great location.

The BEST tres leches cakes! Normally, when I order desserts for a party, we are left with a ton of leftovers...not the case here- there was not one bite left! I ordered both the vanilla and a chocolate tres leches cakes and the were equally praised and devoured by our party guests! I used the online ordering, which was easy, and even added a bit to write a message for my dad's 80th Birthday (which they did). Pick up was easy. You won't regret buying cakes here, unless you are on a diet!!! read more

It's so true -- what all of their positive reviews have conveyed, Dolce Pastello's cakes are excellent and will likely become my go-to cake shop! Really moist, flavored perfectly without being over-powering or too sweet, everything was just balanced perfectly! Cannot wait to try their other flavors!!! read more

Wanted to try them out so I ordered Tres Leches for my daughter's birthday. 1. She said it tasted good but design is lacking. 2. They said they NOT do any smaller cake with custom decor for under 15 servings and it costs $132 at that size. This is unfortunate as it's a big student population and a parent like myself would willing to pay under about $75 for a smaller more design-customized cake that feeds 6. 3. Good customer service and response! read more

was super excited to try this spot while i searched for a german chocolate cake for a birthday ! I placed the order a few days ahead online, got a confirmation number and a day and arrival time. Upon arrival i was not greeted kindly, the lady then proceeded to search and was unable to find my cake and was not communicating what was going on. She finally found what was supposed to be my cake but in a larger size and made me feel bad about a mistake not made on my end. I said it's fine if it's bigger and she proceeded to tell me "it's fine for you but not for me". i offered to pay for the bigger cake and was shoed away and told "just to take it". What started as a new exciting experience turned into a poor interaction due to something that was not in my control. The place is super cute, they have a full display case. I just think the service should be corrected as it can affect the chance for accumulating reoccurring customers. read more

My wife surprised me with a birthday cake from Dolce Pastello and WOW. I had never had a chocolate Tres leches cake before and it was amazing. Very moist with a rich chocolatey flavor. The icing was light and allowed the cake itself to be the main star. read more

Dolce Pastello - Chocolate Tres Leches cake - Desserts Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Got a Vanilla Tres Leches here that was really yummy but definitely a bit pricey. The vanilla flavor was very subtle but I appreciated that the Tres Leches wasn't unbearably sweet. If you need any kind of message written on it, they'll do it on the side because the space on top is minimal and although the writing was beautiful, nobody noticed it! The packaging could definitely be better because this is a cake that drips a good bit of the liquid it's soaked with and because their cake pan is so shallow, this liquid ended up on my car seat and on my hands. The shop itself is smallish but they have a good variety of things to offer, and the folks who work there are nice. But ultimately Tres Leches can be found all over and for me, the price was a bit high compared to others you can buy in less pretty locations but equally delicious spots! read more

Yummy!!! Beautiful cakes and delicious! A coworker brought in a cake from here and it was very good. I stopped in today and they sell whole cakes and cakes by the slice. I got 2 slices of tres leches (vanilla and marble) and they were good! I love that they sell them but the slice, just enough. I will definitely be back to try other desserts. They also had tortillas, tamales and other treats. read more

Great cakes. I highly recommen plum cake. And there red chili pork tamales are the best!!

I bought a twenty first birthday cake for my best friend from the sweetest bakery owners. I very well could have mistaken cream filling for undercooked egg. my apologies! the cake looked stunning, and the rose piping was flawless. Bakers provided threw in a 21 cake topper no charge to complete the look. he put a rush on it, and genuinely cared for it to be on time. reliable and dedicated to their customers. cute aesthetic in a little courtyard tucked away downtown. would recommend and visit again, if you'll have me. read more

Ordered 4 cakes for my sister's graduation party. They were such a hit! We had the pingüino, Malibu, caramel tres leches, and vanilla tres leches. All 4 were amazing, but I think Malibu was the fan favorite. They even helped me carry the cakes out to the car! I'll be returning anytime I need cakes! read more

The tres leches here is a national treasure and should be protected at all costs. It doesn't matter the flavor you pick. It doesn't matter the day you show up. I challenge you to find a better tres leches anywhere in the country. This was the cake at my wedding and it was one of the best decisions I made. read more

So I have been a frequent client of Dolce Pastello.. i got married earlier this year my husband doesn't really enjoy cakes at all.. but he moved to tucosn right before our wedding and he literally has to have a cake at least once a week lol the service is amazing they are always happy to see him for his weekly visits lol read more

Super cute cake store (more like a stand). They had many custom pickups waiting that looked scrumptious but I have always opted to just pickup a cake to take downtown to birthday parties. They always have exactly what I need available and stock toppers for any occasion. The marble tres leche is my favorite and is really delicious. Also if you're looking for a treat, they have single slices which is really convenient. read more

I called a couple days before the day I needed the cake. I spoke to the owner directly. She was attentive to what I wanted and also gave me suggestions. I wanted the cake to look a specific way. She asked me if I could send her a few pictures if I had any (I did) and I chose the filling and flavors all over phone. This made me nervous since I had never ordered from them before. So, I pick up the cake and I'm greeted with two bright smiles and I see the cake... it was exactly how I wanted it! Perfectly made! Now the real test.. how would it taste? The guests were raving about how delicious and fluffy the cake was! It was amazing! I would definitely be coming back in the future for more! FYI- I chose a two flavor cake. The bottom was fresh strawberries and cream filling with white cake. The top portion was chocolate and hazelnut filling. Covered with a cream cheese frosting. Finally, topped with fresh fruits and chocolate drizzle. read more

The cake was a little dry . It was meh . The service definitely needs to improve !! Like ...Lady do you want to sell cakes ?

I had a tres leches cake delivered to someone during Covid, and it absolutely made her day. So recently, I picked one up in person to celebrate someone else's birthday. And I made her day! I'm glad both recipients shared! Absolutely delish, every bite. Even leftovers, which trust me, did not last long. read more

My sister Purchased a special order cake and it was nothing like the picture she sent. To make it worst the writing on the cake looked a child's handwriting. And the flavor was not what she requested because she asked to change flavor when she paid at the store on July 6th in which they said they would. But she verified after receiving the cake that the employee said they've couldn't have had let her changed it because it was already made which was weird because she didn't need the cake until July 19th. So I guess she had a two week old cake. Instead of being understanding and figure out who made the mistake with their employee, they'll rather argue with customer. It was her birthday cake and the least they can do is be more empathetic, instead of being so rude to her. read more

I ordered an Oreo cake from here and O.M.G. It was delicious. The cake was moist and the frosting was light and melted in my mouth. After one slice, we just started eating the cake as is. I wish we saved some because I want more now. I am very happy with this cake and my husband loved it too. I recommend the oreo cake!!!! read more

We ordered one tres leches and one strawberries and cream cake for a large baby shower. I was the hostess so it was a frenetic day and unfortunately forgot to take pics of the cakes. The cakes were delicious, beautifully decorated and received rave reviews! My only complaint is the packaging of the cakes is flimsy. Thankfully my son was with me and could hold the cakes. The flimsy plastic tops weren't secured well and caved in when we attempted to stack them. I would recommend sturdier packaging for these lovely cakes. read more

Purchased the small vanilla caramel tres leches cake. Service was friendly and willing to add happy birthday on the cake. She recommended a fun sparkler candle to go with it. The cake was so delicious and not overly sweet. Even my picky daughter ate a whole piece. The cake packaging kept coming off during the drive and messed up the frosting in the side. Suggestion would be to have better packaging or tape the sides. But the cake & service was good and I want this cake for my birthday too. read more

We recently visited Dolce Pastello after having brunch nearby to check out their offering of sweet treats. They've got a pretty wide selection of homemade baked goods from sweet breads to pies and flan. My husband ended up ordering some flan to go and said that it was creamy and had just the right amount of sweetness. I ended up ordering a couple of half dozen tamales of different flavors (chicken mole and pork salsa verde). The chicken mole was excellent and the masa wasn't overly thick, so it didn't overwhelm the flavor of the tamale. We've saved the pork for later, but I'm sure it will be just as good! The prices were also super reasonable for everything, so check this one out if you want some local sweets or tamales! read more

Dolce Pastello - Cold display with cakes - Desserts Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Best cakes in town! Marble tres leches is my favorite! They have a great variety of sweets and treats.

Our wedding cake was a total hit! We've purchased multiple cakes from Dolce Pastello in the last couple of years so when we started planning our wedding we knew where our cake would be coming from. We had to impress both my picky Mexican family and his family from Ohio who had no idea what Tres Leches cake was, and everyone was hooked. We went with Tres Leches Vainilla and half with Cajeta, it was the perfect mix. The owner took the time to hear my idea and she was able to make it a reality. We had left overs the next year and it was just as delicious as the day before. Can't wait to have a reason to order more cakes from Dolce Pastello!!! read more

Not the friendliest service (but efficient) and the tres leches vanilla cake is delicious, as billed! Moist but light, just decadent enough. I will definitely return to try their other types of cakes. read more

There is no question that the desserts I have had from them are outstanding, and delicious. However, their business practices will make me never to use them for a special order again. Ever. Ordered two cakes for a special engagement/birthday celebration. Paid in advance. 5 days before the event I called to cancel as the celebrants came down with Covid and could not host their special event. They refused to issue a refund. After several phone calls and conversations they finally said the best they could do was a $90 refund and a credit against a future purchase of roughly $50. The original order was for 140. If I had sought the refund closer to the time of the event I could understand their reluctance. But 5 days notice seems like plenty of time. They have lost our business for any future special events. read more

Definitely the BEST cakes in town! I have so many favorites, their tres leches is not the only star on the menu, I love the caramel and walnuts, the chocoflan, the cheesecake, the pinguino... I could go on and on, they have done my birthday cakes, baby shower cakes, baptism, wedding and basically all my events, always with great customer service and punctuality, the only time there was a delay they offered free delivery of the cake to the venue which was fine by me. read more

After reading numerous "Yelp" reviews, we decided to place an order with Dolce Pastello. It was a wonderful experience communicating with the baker Aide. She accommodated our requests for creating a cake for my brother-in-law, a professor retiring with over 40 years of service. We alI Loved the 3 Leches cake. It was by far the most delicious cake ever. If you appreciate quality, service and taste, we would highly recommend a visit to the Dolce Pastello. read more
