This is a great place to find light Italian food. I consider this a bakery/cafe since there are options other than bread and dessert. The food was good, fresh and not drowned in sugar. I recommend the tiramisu for coffee lovers. The prices were reasonable...Read More

We tried the baguette sandwich with prosciutto, mozzarella, arugula, olive oil and a touch of truffle. Very tasty 🤤. The coffee was also so good.

Dolce Aroma is such a gem! I’ve been here twice in just a couple of weeks to grab desserts for our dinner parties, and every time, they’ve gone above and beyond. I’ve placed last-minute, same-day orders for bulk desserts, and they’ve still managed to accommodate...Read More
