    Really cool coffee shop. A great variety of options available. Homemade gelato (made in a machine imported from Italy), fresh baked goods, great lunch options, and of course.. phenomenal coffee. The staff are friendly enough, though there used to be friendlier ones there. It's pretty much always a crowd of people there, which tells you this spot is great, but can be a little off putting if you're never sure you'll find a spot to sit for awhile vs taking your order to go. Overall I like this place alot!

    We stopped here on our way out of town after visiting friends for the weekend to fuel up before a long drive. Wow am I jealous they have this gem so close to home! There were tons of food and drink options to choose from. My latte was delicious but even more, the bagels were SO good. Granted they get them from NYC so I shouldn't be surprised. My bagel with cream cheese, lox and tomato was pretty perfect. It was a very satisfying breakfast pick-me-up. If we lived closer I'd be here all the time, especially to take advantage of all of the seating and wifi!

    Locally made items - always love that.

    Love indie coffee shops. This location has nice indoor and outdoor seating. Plus plenty of snack items. Wish the baked goods looked more appealing but they do offer fresh items as pictured.

    I stopped by to have a latte and an ice cream. Pumpkin spice latte was good, but not as good as starbuck's. Gelato was good too. Nocciola was my favorite followed by pistachio and coconut.

    So cute!  Keep the java coming!

    Tusk and cup is adorable. The people who work there are grown up and attentive. They get your order right and are pleasant. My sons fav is the hot cocoa (mom tested and approved). My daughter loves the elephant swag and it's a nice relaxed environment. They also do a great job with their social media. Really cute.

    Peppermint mocha in front of the store!

    Love this place! We stopped in and had a peppermint mocha and peppermint hot chocolate. Both were excellent, and I love all of the speciality/seasonal drinks they have. There is a ton of seating here and it has a very cozy atmosphere. The staff is so kind and even replaced my drink when I spilled half of it! I'll definitely be back again for coffee and gelato when during the summer!

    I love it here. Great coffee, nice baristas, beautiful food selection. Fun rotating local art collection. It's a more personal than average experience. Kombucha and egg white Florentine wrap

    Mint mocha latte

    I like this coffee shop a lot! It's been a while since we've visited and I was excited to come today. It wasn't as good as I remembered but it was definitely good. I ordered a mint mocha latte- Tis the Season- and it was delicious. Unlike a chain coffee shop, this one was not artificial tasting and well made. Great flavor! I also ordered an egg white spinach wrap. Nothing bad about the flavor at all- came as described on their menu. It was just pretty small for the price. Like a large egg roll size. When a menu states 'Wrap' you kinda think you'll get a full sized tortilla. Definitely not a huge issue for me- I don't eat large portions but just wanted to mention. My husband got the tried and true-bacon, egg, and cheese on chibatta. Cannot go wrong with that. Delicious as always. He also got a chai tea latte which he enjoyed very much. We love this place. Can't wait to visit again.

    Soup of the day! Fantastic - white bean, chicken chili. Hot and wonderful!

    Meh. Egg and cheese on ciabatta was totally bland and boring. Iced vanilla latte was fine but nothing special.

    The most flavorful matcha latte around! Great coffee shop ambience. Quick service. Parking lot could be better with how busy it can get.

    So for the first time, Gelatissimo was a bust and it wasn't only my 2 flavors but the stud muff's…read moreas well which were different from mine. Went there on a beautiful day, a perfect day for ice cream. Going in here is a huge hike for us being that we live 40 miles away. It's always a highlight to go, and we always order large cups when we go. Keep in mind this place is not a bargain, you generally get what you pay for and this place has always been worth it except for this trip. And with all my excitement, I neglected to see how much gelato was left for one of the flavors I ordered, and it was the bottom of the barrel-instead of the young gentleman talking me out of the flavor, he gingerly scraped up with all his might whatever was left in the bottom, then proceeded to ask me if I wanted a flavor that was similar to it... Shame on me I said no, and he proceeded to give me the other flavor I had asked for which is a chocolate brownie. As he scooped, I said you know what give me some of the cappuccino please-he huffed and puffed and arrogantly told me he could no longer do it... Why? You've only done a couple scoops of chocolate what's the big deal. Asking him a question it was like I was asking him a life ending favor. He then huffed as he took my husband's order. As we both ate our ice creams we were very mystified that it was lacking the flavors that it once had. True, we both had tried new flavors that we never had before, but it didn't have the same texture and it was overly sweet. Secondly, my husband got their waffle cone. Now let's talk about how the boy neglectfully scooped that waffle cone... He didn't put any ice cream in the cone only slapped a ball on top - that was it. The ice creams came out to $16 and honestly the waffle cone was flavorless! My husband wound up throwing it away as it probably was one of the worst waffle clones he's ever had. Maybe we need a break but we definitely need a break from that young gentleman who took our order... He needs a little polish refresher course on how to be a little more cordial and Little accommodating. Thank God for the tip cup! As for the parking, it's hell, absolutely satanic but that is not reflective of the rating. You are at the mercy of street parking and not easy to find.

Only because I have been too Dolce Gelateria before and never gave my review. That being said. Yazmine thank you for the inspiration to visit and give a review. Moving along!! Dolce Gelateria provides accessible entry and there is parking in front away front away from the traffic on Franklin Ave. This is a beautiful gelato parlor. The staff are always welcoming, and you are warmly greeted upon entrance. Things I love about Dolce Gelateria* KI love the outdoor seating. I love the suggestive selling, they inform the customers of the various products for sale, regardless if you buy or not. I love the samples they give. I sampled the mango Gelato. D'licious! I love how they give you a cup and you have more than one flavor., I was asked if I wanted to mix the mango gelato, I kept it one flavor. I also love the prices; it is within my budget. So, I guess by now, one can make an accurate assumption that I purchased the mango gelato and enjoy it immensely . I repeat, it was very D'licious. It is now one of my favorite taste. I purchased the tiramisu; its taste was distinctive and prominent. It deserves to be eaten alone so that your taste buds can savor the flavor for maximum appreciation. I also purchased Coffee flavor. I normally do French vanilla with this flavor, but they did not have it. The Tiramisu was in the same cup as the coffee, I would have preferred a solo cup. I ordered the carrot cake and found it very tasty, and a red velvet was comped, also delicious. I tried the lactose free flavor just to taste but that's not me! But still... Inspire more, Yelp more!

To top it off the spot is super dog friendly! They offer plenty of indoor and outdoor seating if you just want to sit back, relax, and hang out wonderful service such as beautiful location
