Parking is tough, so be prepared to walk off a few of those calories. The inside of this one feels smallish, with only a few seats inside, but there are tables outside on the sidewalk as well. Samples are of course offered, with stainless steel spoons you use once... wash and reuse, less waste. The ice cream was of course high quality, and the flavors for the Basque cheesecake and Key Lime were spot on. But I will also put in a plug for local ice cream parlors in the area... also quite good and deserving of your business as well. Try them all!

The service was friendly but in the slow side, at least in part because one of the two staff…read moremembers was only making waffle cone bowls instead of helping customers. The ice cream is rich and creamy, somewhere on the border of being sweet and a little too sweet. We got the biscuits with the boss, the milkiest chocolate, and the cherry vanilla waffle cone flavors. All three were good. Know in advance that the price is pretty steep, especially for the amount you get. One scoop for each of us ended up costing north of $18. It's a nice treat but not a Top 10 kind of place for me, especially given the level of sweetness and the high price.

I had seen Dolcezza before during my many visits to Bethesda, but I have never been a big fan of gelato. I had no idea Dolcezza also served drinks.

I foolishly stood in line for gelato without knowing I could have went straight to the drink counter to order my drink there. The Blueberry Lavender Matcha tasted just as delicious as I imagined it would based on the image on the sign. The ingredients were fresh and flavors all complimented one another. I would definitely come back again to try more drinks, especially if they were just as good as this one :)

Unbelievable. I…read morethought I've had gelato before, had it in NYC, in upscale malls in the Middle East and this has reset all of it. Now I have my Northstar bite of gelato and know what to compare others against until I have it somewhere in Italy. Pistachio and hazelnut, a scoop each were fantastic. This is really a great spot to cool off on a hazy humid evening in DC after dinner. A service was fantastic and really has a quick turnaround on all the food. Definitely well worth the visit.

There were a few seasonal items that captured a spring aesthetic. Everything was packed well and we were out quickly. *Carrot Cake: one of their seasonal offerings and my favorite of the bunch. It was not the moistest cookie, but it tasted the most balanced. There was a subtle sweetness, although I would have loved to see more elements of a traditional carrot cake highlighted, such as raisins or warm spices. *Cherry Scone: reflective of the fleeting cherry blossom season. My party was split on the texture, with some disliking how dense and heavy it tasted. I personally did not find it dry or overly crumbly. The cherry flavor was light, and it colored the dough nicely and paired well with a darker beverage. *Caramel Coconut Chocolate Chip: subtle coconut shavings with barely noticeable caramel. The chocolate chips were by far the most dominant ingredient and flavor. Apparently one of their classic flavors, but it was my least favorite. I was actually more impressed by their seasonal offerings, which is disappointing since those rotate out. Their classics are popular for a reason, but they do not feel refined enough to justify the pricing compared to other bakeries. I would not mind splitting a cookie with a friend, although I would not go out of my way for one.

After dinner one night, we walked around downtown Bethesda and happened upon Henry's Sweet Retreat…read more Luckily, we saved room for dessert, and Henry's hit the spot. We got a blueberry pop tart, and some raspberry scones, along with a chocolate covered vanilla cupcake. Yummy! The only problem is that Henry's is not just a dessert bakery - the store may appear tiny on the outside, but it's huge on the inside. In addition to the bakery, they got all kinds of candy and other goodies for sale. I gotta stop back in another day and try all the other good stuff inside. Plus, you can tell from the Rick Astley-inspired sign outside, Henry's has a great sense of humor. This is exactly what small business brings to the neighborhood. Stop by and visit Henry's Sweet Retreat - you'll be glad you did!

The small sundaes were huge! Kids could not finish them and at $7ish each hard to beat for the quality! I had an eggnog cupcake.

And the cake was moist, not crumbly, not heavy just perfect! Had a latte with soymilk because my belly does not care for milk in coffee. Local coffee company supplies the beans. They also have pretty much any kind of candy, pies, and sweets you might need and apparently they cater! Stop in you will not regret it...unless you do not like sweets and then I am sorry.

While the buttercream and cream cheese flavors are sickly sweet with a thick mound of frosting and the cake and cheesecake can be quite dense, the savory flavors like caramel and mocha and the fudge brownie cheesecakes are exceptionally good!

Cannot overstate how nice the bar and restaurant ambience is which is fine-dining level but with a everyday casual service and menu. The aptly named "Kraken" is fantastic. 10/10, no notes. Actually a value at 200 bucks if it's your dinner. The lobster roll was 45 bucks and that is exorbitant, but given everything under Trump :)...not surprising.. Very good Marg - not too sweet and cold beers. Had the Narragansett draft which is a perfect, dry lager for seafood. They were out of the Kolsch I wanted, but no complaints.
