    Exterior (7/27/25)

    Dordlofva is well situated and has high visibility in Seattle's Fremont neighborhood (7/27/25). It has limited onsite and outdoor seating at the moment. They offer the usual indie cafe bevs, ice cream, cake and few pastries. I opted for an iced mocha and savory bacon and leek quiche slice. I appreciated the quiche was heated up. One large and loud group pretty much took up the center cafe seating. I snagged a window facing stool by the entrance and gawked at passersby while having my pricey treats. 3.5 stars rounded to 4. Good to check out, but for me, one and done.

    Ice Sunset Matcha Latte (rating: 5/5)
    Lydia L.

    4.5 stars rounding up to 5 stars. TLDR: delicious ice cream, creative high quality yet pricey matcha latte, but unclear pricing for seasonal drinks, inconvenient setup for ice cream sampling, and not very personable service. We've been to Dordlofva twice so far. The first time we got their ice cream, and the second time we tried their sunset Matcha latte and sorbet. The ice cream/sorbet flavors we tried so far are blackberry & ginger (sorbet), peach cobbler, strawberry cheesecake, and raspberry (sorbet). We liked all of them. The strawberries cheesecake was perfectly creamy when sampled, but can be overwhelmingly rich when you finish the entire scoop. The peach cobbler flavor on the other hand, was not too impressive when sampled, but evolved to taste so well balanced between the sweet and sour, and refreshing at a full scoop. I'd highly recommend complementing the strawberry cheesecake with the peach cobbler flavor. It's a great pair, and their second scoop is very reasonably priced. These two are definitely at the top of my favorite ice cream flavor list. My partner liked both sorbet flavors, but would prefer the raspberry to be more sour. The only caveat with getting ice cream or sorbet at Dordlofva is that they have an extremely inconvenient setup for sampling. They do allow sampling, yet all their flavors are stored in separate round buckets in the freezer. So to sample different flavors, the staff had to take out each bucket, lift the tight lid, and scoop you the sample. It was a painful process to watch and made me feel bad to make sampling requests... I also tried their sunset match latte, in addition to the delicious ice creams. It was creative with a beautiful color palette and great taste combo (bitter match, creamy milk, with refreshing sweetness and sourness from strawberry puree and peach puree). I really enjoyed it, esp. for the fact that it was not too sweet. The only caveat with their seasonal drinks is that they don't clearly list the price. I was a bit surprised to be charged $6+ for this 8-oz drink since their regular match was priced at $5. The cashier was nice to answer questions and provide ice cream samples, but always had a slightly grumpy look that made us feel uneasy to ask more questions or clarify the prices. I would not describe his vibes as friendly...

    Ordered the quiche, brown sugar cookie, latte and a cortado. Latte was great, cortado was a bit strong and food was great.

    Good place to get Matcha, coffee,, and pastry around Fremont. Good service and good prices. I recommend them and will come back.

    Friendly and fast service! They were very helpful in pointing out which of their items were dairy free. They didn't happen to have any dairy free bakery. There's lots of tables in and outside. I enjoyed my London fog and would come back again!

    Fremont has a new coffee shop: DORDLOFVA just had its soft opening! The space is clean, modern, and very inviting, and the service was excellent. I tried a mocha with nonfat milk and a Swedish marzipan knot that they warmed up for me. As someone who enjoys a strong, rich coffee, I felt the mocha could have been a bit more rich in both chocolate and coffee notes, perhaps because I chose nonfat milk. The pastry dough of the mascarpone knot was good, but the marzipan itself was quite subtle, lacking the flavor I'd hoped for - though that might just be my personal preference. Regardless, it's wonderful to have another coffee option in Fremont!

We sampled several flavors and ended up ordering Seattle Fog, Ube Coconut, Lemon Poppy Seed, and Matcha. Every flavor was distinct and delicious. * Seattle Fog was my favorite--smooth, aromatic, and subtly infused with Earl Grey tea, making it unique without being overly sweet. * Ube Coconut had a beautiful natural purple color and a creamy tropical flavor that wasn't overpowering. * Lemon Poppy Seed was bright, refreshing, and perfectly balanced with just the right amount of citrus. * Matcha had a rich, earthy flavor that wasn't bitter and paired beautifully with the tangy yogurt base.

One of the coolest things about the experience is watching the Gelato being stirred and mixed right at the store. It adds and interactive part for when you visit. The staff is generous with samples. You can try as many flavors as you would like before deciding. Another big plus is that most of their flavors are gluten free. The Gelato itself is creamy and flavorful. If you're in the area try it out. Better to check it out on a weekday.

About a minute after getting my drink, I took a sip and was surprised that it was cold--not even lukewarm, but actually cold. I didn't go back to ask for a remake because there were several people in line behind me and I didn't want to wait. Instead, I ended up microwaving it when I got back to my Airbnb. The latte itself was decent and had a strong espresso flavor, but the mocha syrup was way too sweet for my taste. I think it would have been much better if it had been about half as sweet. The price was also pretty high for a 12 oz latte. The customer service was disappointing. The young woman who helped me came across as rude and seemed like she didn't want to be there. That's especially unfortunate for a business located in the middle of a major tourist area. As for the drink, I'm not sure how a hot latte ends up being served cold, but it definitely shouldn't happen. I also sampled the tiramisu gelato, which was overly sweet and didn't taste very authentic. Overall, I regret spending the time, money, and calories here. There are too many great coffee shops in Seattle to settle for an experience like this.

So funny. The staff is kind and is more than happy to let you sample to your heart's desire. There is seating both inside and out. I am sure on summer evenings this place is insanely busy, but on a Monday at approximately 2PM, I didn't wait in a line at all. They had fun summer flavors such as apricot crisp, blueberry cheesecake, cherry chunk, and strawberry sorbet. I tried two different flavors, and both were delicious. Both flavors were extremely creamy, even the fruity flavored ones. I started with the strawberry sorbet. It was refreshing. The strawberry really shined through and was extremely fresh tasting. I feel like strawberry flavoring can sometimes come off as artificial, but I did not have that experience with this ice cream. The second flavor I sample, and my favorite one of the day was the honey lavender. It felt like you were walking through an organic lavender field. As always, cities have expensive ice cream, but I am just a girl, so I will get a sweet treat.
