    Don't pass this place up! I was super excited when they opened a second shop because now they are only 10-15 min away vs 35 min! You can't get more authentically Italian than this. Their tirmaisu is made all from scratch and the traditional way - contains eggs and marscapone! You can tell just by the yellow hue the cream filling has, and the person that makes it is one of the owners. Also tried the Lemoncello cake and for $8.50, you get this jumbo slice. It is pure sunshine in a slice. I love the added pearl sugar bits in the top layer curd mousse. Would 100% recommend Dolce Vita! If it's your first time here, make sure to try their award winning gelato!

    Grand opening! Various flavors available! Gelato galore ! They have free samples today and tried the lemon! Nice zesty flavor, inside has even more ! Gelato done in house and we tried a couple samples and it was delicious. Had the Gelato Brioche .. super yummy ; loved the soft sweet bun with gelato

    This is a brand new gelato spot in tempe! They make their gelatos all from scratch fresh every morning! There are a ton of flavors to choose from. I got their biscoff chocolate and it was really solid! There is plenty of room to sit and enjoy the treats! One thing I wish was that they decorated the place to be more unique with a theme as it felt a little bare-bone in there.

    Banana bread, South African chocolate, espresso, biscoff caramel

    The bitter chocolate pairs so well with Stupify's biscoff pairing.

The menu was a little confusing as to what you're actually ordering and how to order the ice cream treat. The ice cream was very tasty.. with all that comes on and in the cone it was a little sweet for me. I think if I go back again I'd ask more questions. one question I'd have is if I can pick the flavor and the options I want on and in my cone. Overall it was good, and you get a lot of ice cream.

Service was non-existent and poor. Cashiers looked like they did not want to be there; they were out of strawberries which is a staple in a bunch of their cones. Cashier didn't make any recommendations to other ice cream cones of modifications to make the cones work in place of missing strawberries. I had to ask a few times to figure out if I could get a certain cone without strawberries. I got the Cheesecake Cone, it was good but very messy. I'd recommend sitting down to eat. I wasn't give a napkin or spoons but you definitely need it especially if it get hotter. The price is up there for a singular cone it's about $11, they also have optional tipping that doesn't feel optional. The restaurant is clean, but lacking in keeping you around. They have tables you can stand around outside, but the objective inside seems like to get you ice cream and get out; I'm sure it makes sense during busier times. All in all it's good, just not great. I'd come in again and when I do I hope the customer service is better.

It's a nice meet up place or two f you want to have a meeting unless you sit on the patio during leaf blowing of trimming hour then you might have to yell every other sentence but other than that great and cozy!

To be fair, the employee gave me a warning that they use ceremonial matcha which is much stronger and asked me if I wanted to change it out for a more typical matcha powder they use for other drinks. I've had great ceremonial matcha before so I didn't think it would be a problem but for some reason I felt like my drink tasted so odd. I got their spanner matcha which was described to be salted maple flavoring. I'm not sure if it was the matcha or the maple but it had a weird aftertaste that I can seem to describe it other than an expired taste. Because the employee gave me a warning before I would go back and try something else in hopes of a better experience.

The eggs Benedict were served on either untoasted or barely toasted English muffins that instantly became soggy due to the abundance of what was supposed to be holandaise sauce. Because it neither tasted or looked like hollandaise I inquired if it was made in house or a store bought product. Staff ensured me it was made it house. The hash brown potatoes, much like the English muffin, were undercooked and quite tasteless. I prefer supporting locally owned restaurants rather than chains but cannot recommend the Sweet Dessert Cafe to anyone.

I was so excited because I heard about this place a long time ago and had yet to visit. It's fairly small inside with a small glass case on the side with cookies and one main one filled with both sweet and savory options. There were also a few loaves of bread on the counter. Everything looked great, but it was a such a warm day so my mom and I opted for something light. The Coffee Cake was indeed as light and airy as it looked. The cake layers tasted like a sponge cake with slightly dry edges (a little over-baked). I think the espresso layers were mousse and not too sweet. It was topped with a chocolate covered espresso bean that was tasty as well. Overall it was a nice afternoon treat. I would like to go back sometime and try their Japanese cheesecake, and their raisin bread loaf too.

They offer a variety of cakes by the slice, specialty breads, and other pastries. I was tempted to get a slice of cake, but I was able to fight off the craving, lol. You can also order a whole cake, but I would assume you'd have to place that order in advance. Prices seem fair, the service is fast and friendly, and the shop is clean. They don't have any tables inside, so it's a grab-and-go kind of place. It's located in a corner strip mall with decent parking. I would come back again, and when I do, I'm getting a slice of cheesecake!! =)

I ordered the Chicken and Bubble Waffle, and added an Iced Horchata Latte. It took at least a good 5-7 minutes before I got my food, it was hot and fresh. And the savory chicken with sweet waffle was perfectly balanced. This was my first time having bubble waffles, and they were yummy. They were 'churro' style and had a very light cinnamon and sugar flavor. The chicken was a really good portion, hot and crispy. And there is a side of fried crispy chicken skin, ohhhhh so salty - so good! While they maybe be considered more of a sweet shop with their churro, ice cream, and boba offerings, they have a pretty good savory food menu. The staff was super nice, and I'm definitely going to come back here!! Thank you Churro Nest and Yelp! For this experience. I rarely ever go to Tempe Marketplace, so I dont know if I would have found this place otherwise! It's located across from Forever 21, and next door to piercing shop Rowan.

    Churros: because life needs more magic wands made of dough and sugar!…read more As someone whose sweet tooth is on the smaller side, I like that this place has some savory options. It allows me to enjoy a snack with my friends who are all about that sugar rush lifestyle. I do recommend the breakfast bites for a sweet option. The churros are cut smaller, and you get a mountain of whipped cream and fresh fruit to dip you churros in. It's like the chips and guacamole of in the churro world. The churro-crusted churro-style Hong Kong egg waffles are a must. They drizzle a nice chipotle syrup on top, and they even give you fried chicken skin to munch on. The chicken loco moco is also good, although I suggest asking for more gravy. I'm a gravy fiend, though, so if you're about moderation, it's probably sufficient for you. Milk teas and coffee are good here, but I would pass on the syrupy fruit drinks. This place also offers adorable egg cups, so if you're a sucker for a cute Instagram-worthy beverage, this place does a good job. I like it here! I hope you like it here too. The place is a bit warm, though, so be warned. Bring a hair tie!
