Buy pastries at your own risk! I decided to treat myself to some bakery goodies the other day so I went into La Dolce to buy a large eclair and a brownie. At home, I saw that some of the chocolate icing had fallen off of the eclair so I decided to start there. I popped some chocolate shavings into my mouth and.... yuck! No creamy sweet chocolate taste. A taste that I'd never tasted in my life before and have a hard time describing. Chemical? Refrigerator? I don't know but definitely inedible. The brownie, encrusted with chocolate chips, beckoned me. It had been stored in another tray, at the other end of the refrigerated case, so surely this one would be fresher. Better. But no! The chips had the same horrible non-food, non-chocolate taste. $12 of goodies tossed into the garbage. I did not go back to complain because I rarely buy pastries. However, it's sad that the owner doesn't have a way to mark the pastries with a "sell by" date. My guess is that the items that I had bought were sitting in the case for weeks, waiting for some unlucky person to choose them. Yuck. read more

I would give them no stars if I could! I went there July 3th to buy a dozen pastries. I noticed that the store was warm, the temperature was in the eighties outside. There wasn't any air conditioning or it was on very low. I think the pastries went bad from the heat in the store. When we started eating the cake and we noticed that the pastries had a real funky flavor. We threw them away. I paid over seventy dollars on these items. What a shame, we were really looking forward to eat these cakes. Very disappointed. Next time I'm going to another place. read more

I needed something sweet to take back to my parents as a thank you for babysitting. And just as this idea popped into my head was when I walked past La Dolce Italia. It was fate! A very old school Italian bakery, I felt like this bakery and I went way back. The problem I always have when going into a bakery is: Everything looks so good, I just want to buy it all. The person behind the counter was super patient while I faced the internal conflict of what to get. After careful consideration, I decided on getting two lobster tails, an apple turnover and a piece of crumb cake. She packaged everything up and I went on my merry way. Before moving on to those sweet treats, I would like to comment on the place itself. I couldn't get over how clean it was. There wasn't even a finger print on the glass looking in on the cakes and cookies. The cappuccino maker looked almost brand new. I was super impressed. Back to delicious desserts! Honestly, I can only speak for the lobster tails which tasted super fresh. The pastry was fluffy yet had a nice crunch when biting into it. The whipped cream inside was airy and not too sweet. I will definitely grab another one from here next time I pass. As for the other items I bought, my family devoured them before I could try. Their thoughts: yummy and delicious. They don't make bakeries like this anymore. The simplicity of this place is what makes it special! I am so happy I found this spot! read more

My husband always picks up desserts from here and he has never once encountered an issue. Kind and friendly service. Recently we got the chocolate mousse cake for our anniversary. It was THE best chocolate mousse I've ever had. Fresh layer of chocolate (that was still soft days later) and semi sweet cake. It wasn't overpowering which some mousse's can be. It was also a shorter cake which made it more tolerable to eat. Perfect size, height, and just the right amount of sweetness for a chocolate mousse cake. Will definitely get it again in the future. Also tried some other slices in the past including: red velvet (good but a bit too sweet for me), tiramisu (good) and some different cookies. The fruit tart wasn't bad. Overall, they have a variety of baked goods to select from so I'm happy to have these choices! read more

It's horrible to think that I could have given my son and his friends molded cake. They have lost me as a customer and would prefer to get a cake from Trader Joe's than this place. Very disappointing experience for me and my family. I wonder if all of their cakes have mold growing in them??? Please see pics for proof of my experience.

We stopped into the bakery today to pick up a cake for my mom's birthday. We also grabbed two cupcakes for the ride home. Both my husband and I immediately spit out the cupcakes. It was absolutely inedible - tasted like cardboard, freezer burn and just this horrible stale taste. We are NOT picky - but this was simply inedible. We scraped the side of the cake when we got home to see if it tasted like the cupcakes, and sure enough, it was even worse. Totally stale and inedible We had to toss both cupcakes and the entire cake in the garbage. So upset, as we spent almost $50 and now have to order a cake from another bakery by tomorrow morning. Such a shame, we were hoping this bakery would be a new favorite. The lady behind the counter was very kind and nice. I don't know if this is usual for the bakery or maybe the items were sitting too long, but either way, now we're out $50 :( read more

There is no competition like this is the only bakery to go to that has the best tasting cakes, cookies, cupcakes, rugelach, and many more delicious baked items. As usual I got my daughter's birthday cake and they never disappoint as the cake was one of the highlights of the party. I had it delivered which was great as it arrived on time and looked stunning. The theme was rainbow and the cake looked exactly like the pictures I sent like a true work of art. The cake was as delicious as it looked like it was lemon cake with lemon filling. The cake was so moist and fluffy with the perfect balance of cake to filling like everyone loved it. Everyone I've seen since the party is still talking about the cake and of course I gave them all the info to get to this bakery. This is the best and only bakery you should be getting your special occasion cakes or baked goodies from as they have the best bakers, the best and truly amazing presentation of all their goods, and the taste of everything is beyond delicious. This is the best so forget the rest. read more

The baking begins early within the basement of La Dolce Italia Bakery, as they have another location which is serviced and supplied by the original location. The location I stop in on a semi daily basis to grab a cappuccino and some treats for the house. As with most all Italian bakeries the Italian cookies are always well represented, but really never grasp my interest. I think I broke the Italian tradition of my family for being the first to not purchase them on a weekly basis and give them out, I do it with bread instead. For me, I always buy a cannoli, biscotti or an little tiramisu if I am feeling like a special treat for my breakfast, but when I need some dessert to bring to a dinner, La Dolce always has great choices that will not break the bank. There are some tables inside, so you can take your magazine or newspaper, sit and enjoy your reading over a hot coffee beverage, escaping this brutal winter weather we have been experiencing. The most friendly staff you could hope to have serve you up authentic Italian treats.La Dolce Italia Bakery makes the real Italian desserts, not like the many pretenders that promote themselves as true and authentic Italian.. read more

Where to start! I celebrated my 33rd bday party on a yacht and was so overwhelmed with planning that I forgot to order a cake so I decided to go on yelp. I found La Dolce Italia and called them up, very pleasant and polite they referred me to Maria and told me to submit ideas and inspo. I wanted the cake to reflect my brand (Miss I Flip Bricks) no, I'm not a drug dealer but I do finance and deal with fix and flip loans plus off market real estate . I texted Maria with items I wanted on my cake and she was able to deliver a MASTERPIECE... everyone was in complete awe. The cake was so delicious and I've had bad experience with fondant in the past but this was done just perfectly! Strongly recommend La Dolce Italia for pulling through last minute in a magnificent cake, I will be using them again and referring them to ALL MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS! You guys are amazing read more

I loved what Maria did for my daughter's birthday (4/22/2022). From the first time I spoke with her, she's made it very easy for me. She gave me everything that I had dreamt of a cake for a girl's debut - soft, fresh, and feminine, very simple yet elegant. This cake has an ombre peach design which is what I asked for, with a few roses and leaves on it. I love how she was able to exactly do it the way I envisioned the cake to be. On top of that, the cake itself was delicious. The filling was cold and fresh when we served it to the guests and the cake was moist, it was so good. I am already craving to have it again as I was writing this review. On the communication side, I had no problem at all. Maria answers me thru text messages or phone calls, so taht was very good too. Thank you so much Maria for making it easy for me and for adding elegance to the event. I am highly recommending this bakery - La Dolce Italia for your cake needs!!! read more

There's usually a line of some length during peak hours and especially around the holidays. You can tell by the sheer volume of baked goods and cakes available in their window displays that they sell a lot daily. This location is on the main drag of the little downtown section of Forest Hills, the baked goods in the front window display connect to a tall and long glass counter along the left side of the store that extends almost to the back. At the back middle and along the right side of the wall there's seating for about two dozen people at small cafe tables. They carry an assortment of traditional cakes (full and sliced), pies, cookies, pastries, cheesecakes, cupcakes, ice cream and coffee/tea drinks. A wide variety of flavors in each, so you're bound to find something sweet to satisfy most here. They are a classic bakery so from what I can tell, they don't carry items that are gluten, dairy or nut free. I've purchased their apple pie, fruit tart, berry napoleon, red velvet and chocolate fudge cakes from this or other locations in the past and they're all solid choices for desserts to share with a larger group, though I find a lot of their cake options to be on the richer side. My most recent encounter with their cakes came in the form of a slice of their seven layer cake $9.95 which is thin layers of yellow cake alternating with chocolate cream mmm pretty tasty, and their caramel cake $9.95 which had a layer of chocolate cake in the middle, sandwiched by caramel cream and white cake on either side. The latter had a pronounced caramel flavor that was enjoyable though a bit too much cream for me. My preference would be for their chocolate cakes over other cake flavors here. Their apple pie is one of my favorite apple pies anywhere tho!

I love their cakes! My current favorite, which can only be found at their Forest Hills location, is…read morethe Dubai cupcake. It's absolutely amazing, and the filling is very generous--it feels like heaven in every bite. Another favorite of mine is the chocolate layer cake: rich, velvety smooth chocolate that isn't overly sweet. The only thing I don't agree with is that they do not clearly tell customers that dining in adds an extra $1 charge to each item. Yes, check your receipt. I'm expected to tip my waitstaff and also pay an extra dollar per item just because I chose to dine in. For example, the cupcake is usually $4.75 to go, but they charged me an extra $1 for dining in. Their cake slices are usually $9.50 to go, but I was charged $10.50. I also tipped 20%, so the added charge felt frustrating, especially since there was no clear notice. When I asked the waitstaff about the $1 charge, she said it was entered that way because I dined in. When I later called about it, the manager simply said, "Next time, just order to go if you don't want to be charged extra." That response was disappointing, especially since there was no visible sign explaining this policy, and their dine-in menu does not show separate pricing. I really think management should fix this to avoid misleading customers. Transparency matters. Don't get me wrong--I would still come back because their cakes are amazing, but from now on, I'll always order everything to go.

My best friend had a very happy birthday!

Bummer since it was a little too chilly for me but a hardier customer was taking advantage. Service was chipper and patient. No cash discount.

Cuisine: 8 Service: 7…read moreDecor: 7 Value: 7 Overall: 7 This chain of bakeries around NYC has got my attention. Mainly because everything is made very well and without being overly sweet. This corner store in Astoria is one I have been passing by regularly over the last few months, and it has good service and some nice outdoor seating. So far, my favorite item has been the Pistachio Lattice, which is super crunchy on the surface while the nutty sweetness shines through on each bite. Another one I really enjoy is the Blueberry Cardamom Escargo, which has absolutely delicious cream cheese frosting mixed with wild blueberry jam and that nice hint of cardamom. Very moist. The Chocolate Chunk Cookie is pretty good too. Plenty of chocolate chunks with a hit of salt. However, their popular Pain Au Chocolate is not the best I have had. There is just not enough chocolate in each bite. Prices are not cheap, but the pastries are mostly very large in size, so you somewhat do get what you pay for. I don't eat baked goods too often, so it's not that bad in my mind. Service has been solid too.

Looking at the cake assortment, I found it to be quite limited with a steep cost. The one benefit of the cafe is that there is outdoor seating. The ambiance is very calm and inviting with ample space to sit. There is also an extensive drink menu with some amazing dessert options. If baked goods are not your forté, I'd still come to try their other options. I also noticed a breakfast combo that is relatively affordable.

But I walked in today and saw this absolutely gorgeous cupcake birthday surprise they were preparing for someone's fifth birthday that I had to take a picture.

However, the staff were also super warm and accommodating, and the quality of the items we got (gluten free vanilla and chocolate cupcakes) was great. The actual cake bases of both types were moist and flavorful. I could've gone with a little less frosting and more cake, but it made for a very aesthetically pleasing topping with the vibrant colors, sprinkles, and glitter. I kept getting strong hints of rose flavor from the pink frosting on the chocolate cupcakes so I'm not sure if they infused it with that. Overall, a great little spot, and really a savior for procrastinators looking for sweet goodies to take to a gathering when other last-minute ideas fall through!

Best in the neighborhood, I will die on this hill. This bakery is on the smaller side and gets busy especially around holidays like Easter and Christmas. It's a casual atmosphere, some folks do sit here and have coffee and a pastry especially when the weather is nice out. Prices are a little high but you get what you pay for. They have a variety of cookies, breads and special pastries for certain seasons like struffoli during Easter. If you're looking for a birthday cake that's really going to knock it out of the park, I would come here and trust these people with it.

Currently their line forms directly in front of the entrance / exit. When you have one person at the register and helping clients you get a door jam. You can't enter or leave easily.

I hope management steps in and makes a small change go a long way
