Cafe Dolce has great coffee and food--we were so glad this was the spot we happened to pick for…read morebreakfast during our road trip! We got the Danish sausage and eggs breakfast and a breakfast bagel, and the portions were incredibly generous. Service was great, especially considering Sam (I'll explain later how we learned his name) was running the whole shop solo. He was making lattes, cooking breakfasts, taking orders, and serving tables! He was so kind and efficient. As we sat with our coffee, we watched regulars come in and greet Sam by name and catch up on their mornings and weeks like old friends. That kind of community seems hard to fake and made this stop feel so homey! We sat outside on the shaded patio and the weather was perfect. Highly recommend if you're ever passing through Solvang.

It's tucked into the Fine shops & Restaurant behind the park. The sign for the Kunafa peeves my interested so much I had to Google it. We came inside, were greeted by a super kind employee. I asked her what it was but mispronounced the name. She smilled & politely corrected me then told me what it was. The guy behind us in line told us it was amazing so we ordered it. My hubby got yhr Arabic coffee (made in sand) I got a salted Carmel latte. It cost $44. The Kunafa was absolutely to die for! We shared 1 & in thankful because it's too much for me. The sweet sauce with the salty cheese & crunch of the philo are a perfect combination. Our coffee was strong, just how we like it. We had great service & food. Definitely coming back for icecream. My only suggestion is maybe a sign by the road that you're open late.
