    Lemon Opal Basil, Blueberry Lemon Thyme Sobert
    Chelsea C.

    Sorbet flavors are incredible. I love it when you're at a gelato stand and the sorbet flavors have equal care and attention as their dairy counterparts. The combination of Lemon Opal Basil and Blueberry Lemon Thyme were complex, refreshing, and sweet!

    The matcha flavor was very weak and the color was quite dull. For $11, I would hope for a lot more.

    Chai latte
    Kylie D.

    I came here for a warm drink and a pastry. It's got a modern feel inside of the museum. Service was fine. Got a chai latte with oat milk and a croissant. $16. Insane. Prices are pretty ridiculous, even for cafes in the DC area. Chai latte was fine tasting, but it came out lukewarm. Croissant was also fine tasting, but who wants to buy a $6-7 single croissant? I will not be coming back sadly.

    Cold brew with pumpkin spice ----- delicious!
    Shane B.

    Nestled inside the Hirshhorn museum, this coffee is delicious! I feel myself a coffee snob, and it hit the spot in a downtown region of non existent coffee locations! What makes it different? The syrups are not artificially flavored The coffee tastes very fresh (I think cold brew gives the best flavor personally) Nice and warm environment inside with a wonderful view!

    Cookies & coffee/Mascarpone & berries Gelato
    Jensen P.

    Dolcezza was so good we tried it twice in our 3-day DC visit. The portions seem small, but the tiny spoons help you enjoy the delicious flavor of the gelato in every tiny bite. I got the coffee & cookie/mascarpone & berries, my wife got the pistachio/mascarpone & berries - both delicious the second time around. The gal at the register was a little unemotional, which can affect atmosphere - in CS you leave stuff at the door, and make guests feel welcome like you're happy to be there. Line out the door after we arrived just shows how great this place is!

    Iced Hazelnut latte
    Heather W.

    I got the hazelnut latte it was $7 and change for a small but its good. There are a few seats at some cool tables here, but the lobby has an odd smell to it. You need your bag checked to get to the coffee and signs say no food or drink if you go to the museum.

    Macchiato
    Hamid A.

    Coffee is always good at this chain Our fav is the affogato with vanilla gelato The Dolce coffee taste better warm As for the macchiato, it was prepared perfectly Thanks to the staff here Ambiance inside could be better You can't take your coffee upstairs in the art gallery

    Vanilla latte with oat milk and a butter croissant
    Kylle S.

    Popped in to check out the Wheel of Life and decided I needed a snack (viewing good art is so exhausting!). Instead of doing my usual pretzel from a street vendor, I gave this place a try. The latte was so yummy without being sweet, and the croissant's lamination was perfect! A little more expensive than is typical, but worth every penny.

    Affogato served to go - with a gorgeous view
    Rachel P.

    I love this gem located inside the Hirschhorn art museum for coffee or ice cream when on the national mall! It's much higher quality than what you can get from a nearby truck for a lower/competitive price point. I like to get affogatos when the weather is nice!

    Blueberry lavender gelato
    Katlyn H.

    The location of this Dolcezza is very convenient if you are visiting the Hirshhorn or just on the National Mall. Your options for drinks and food on the mall are limited, and I would pick Dolcezza over a food truck. I had the blueberry lavender gelato which they were serving at a stand right outside the exit of the Hirshhorn. The gelato was very good and they gave me a generous scoop. It was pricey at about $9, but if you are craving some gelato it is delicious. They have plenty of tables to sit at or you can eat your gelato on the go.

    Black Sesame drink and shot of espresso
    Monica K.

    Didn't want to pay $9 for bleh coffee from a food truck. Found this little gem tucked in the ground floor of the Hirshhorn Museum of Modern Art. If you like good coffee (not Charbucks) and need a place to rest, this is your spot. The barista was knowledgeable and recommended the Black Sesame drink (no caffeine) with a shot of espresso on the side. The shot was smooth and not over-roasted. The Black Sesame was spectacular! (Again, not coffee). My daughter ordered an iced mocha and my niece ordered an iced hazelnut mocha. Both were good; not too sweet and the coffee had good flavor. It was a little pricey; with tip almost $8 for my shot of coffee and drink. But I would rather pay a little extra for the location and the quality. If you are visiting the Smithsonian's, it is definitely a good place to stop.

    Croissant
    Morgan H.

    This place was delicious!! Although overpriced, I have zero complaints!! The barista was super nice and really efficient! And right inside of the Museum of Modern Art, it's funny going through security for a croissant!

    Chai tea

    Great gelato!! Best chocolate croissant ever! Average coffee and service Busy but not overcrowded, good lighting

But, that's very preferential to my palate... the roast they serve from small planes is beautiful. The espresso beans are single origin and they serve a blend for their drip coffee. But the gem of this coffee shop is the baked goods! It is absolutely the most delicious and well made bread I've ever had in a coffee shop. I feel like they should be a bakery that serves coffee on the side. Their mushroom toast is out of this world! Like the best thing I've had in a long time. Their sourdough and multigrain bread is the foundation and the most beautiful one at that. The sauce is magnificent. Their croissant is as close to magic as you can get... I just wish I had come in time to have it warm. Their avocado toast is served with fresh piles of beautiful avocado. But again, the multigrain bread is the star! Their Pain Suisse... magic in a pastry... chocolate and pistachio wrapped in flaky croissant! beautiful and delicate... it's a must get!

    One of the best bakeries in Washington, D.C. is here. Their original location is near Union Market…read morewith this location at The Wharf being their second. Here's what's going for them. 1) Food & Drink: Every pastry they make is worth the money and calories, especially their pain suisse. (It's the best I've ever had.) You can go savory with their quiche or ham and cheese croissant or go sweet with monkey bread, basque cheesecake, and more. To drink, they have a full coffee menu and free water in a jug at the condiment counter. 2) Service: Despite busyness, their staff often are patient, calm, and efficient. 3) Space: It's much larger than their original location with several long tables, small tables, window seats, and more. There's a unisex restroom in the back and a door that connects to their neighbor Politics & Prose. 4) Area: There are many restaurants and shops nearby along the water. Parking can be expensive or hard to find so take the Metro (Southwest Waterfront) or ride Capital Bikeshare.

There are sweet and savory options, eggs, french toast, salads, sandwiches, etc... - Quality. Excellent! All 3 of us really enjoyed the food that we ordered. Their french toast and omelettes are delicious. My husband particularly liked the maple syrup that was served with his french toast, because the maple flavor tasted a bit stronger than your average maple syrup. Their pastries are also delicious! Soft, good texture and not too sweet. Given the softness, my best guess is that their sweet treats are recently made. - Service. Pretty good. We did not wait very long for our orders to be ready. The hot foods, like the omelettes, french toast, and drinks, appear to be freshly made. - Price. Good value for money, given the quality and portions. - Location. Convenient location in D.C. However, given the location, be prepared for it to get busy quickly, which means decent lines and wait times. What's not - Interior space. Very tight squeeze inside. There are tables and chairs inside, but their biggest tables can only fit 4 people. If you have children with a stroller or whatever, be prepared to not have room inside. They have outside seating, but that's only conducive to when the weather is warm. This place appears to be popular, which means it can get packed very quickly and seating can be difficult to find. - Acoustics. They play relatively loud music inside, which makes it difficult to have conversations with those you're with. That the interior is small, the music travels easily, which does not help. - Omelette. Even though I liked the flavor of my omelette, it was rather thin. I prefer my omelette to be more weighty/fluffy in texture. Additionally, cheese is not automatically included with the omelette. I ordered mushrooms, red peppers, spinach, and bacon in my omelette. I mistakenly believed cheese was automatically included, but I was wrong. - Parking. Is not easy to find given the location. There is street parking, but it's very difficult to come by. Final Answer Would like to come back, but probably not a first choice given the tight squeeze of the interior. If I do return, would more likely than not order takeaway.

This location is an entire vibe. It's tucked down a painted alley that leads you to a side entrance, which I actually preferred over the front. Parking is what it is at the Wharf, but I recommend parking near the museum and walking over. Once inside, you're met with gorgeous decor and a thoughtfully designed space that feels like a Spanish-style bar set in nature. The tile, the color palette, and the food and drink options all come together beautifully. I ordered the Carrot Cake Con Leche, which came out to about $8 after tax. It was tasty and a great treat after my morning run. It did take about 15 to 20 minutes to receive my order, but given how busy it was, that felt understandable. I'm looking forward to returning and experiencing it at a calmer time.
