Dolcezza Gelato & Coffee on Postcard

"Dolcezza’s gelato follows old recipes, but is filled with the freshest ingredients. The shop takes pride in sourcing its ingredients locally, and the flavor profile benefits greatly from it. Take a break from a hot day with one of their visually rich gelatos, or warm up in the winter with an earthy cup of joe from their partner, Stumptown Coffee Roasters." - Friendly Design Co.

Joanna the barista made our first experience here unforgettable! She was so kind, friendly, and patient, going above and beyond in allowing us to sample nearly every flavor until we found the flavor combo of our dreams! She was also very knowledgeable about ingredients and graciously catered to allergies. We highly recommend you stopping in, and trying their gelato. (Psst Hazelnut Crackle, Pistachio Siciliano, and Dulce de Leche Chip are to die for!)

Dessert and coffee shop in Dupont circle. Seats 15 ish people. One communal table in the center and four counter top high chair seats looking out the window. Espresso: strong, citrus taste, not bitter, smooth. Gelato: Unique flavours. Pistachio Sicilian was the best I've had, creamy and strong pistachio flavor. Minty chocolate was surprisingly strong, good to offset another creamy gelato. Cost: $7 for two flavours,espresso $4-$6 depending on milk level (cortado, flat white, latte). Overall: Good place for good gelato and a coffee.

Fresh and mind blowing gelato. We got pistachio, strawberry, vanilla, mascarpone. Amazing taste. Service was excellent and welcoming. Love atmosphere, very nice small place to enjoy your gelato.

Just tried this gelato place, and wow! I had four flavors: Hazelnut, Lemon Ricotta, a banana one, and another I can’t remember. They were all super fresh and smooth. Not too sweet, not too much—just perfect! Definitely hit the spot on a hot day. Highly recommend checking it out!

Nice place to work and pretty good food as well. I had their banana chocolate chip muffin which was perfect. It was perfectly sweet, soft and delicious. Not sure if it was natural or anything like that but it was so good. I ordered a decaf americano and it was good too just light, not very hot/ fresh tasting. I also tried the spicy honey gelato which was strange to me and didn't taste like honey nor spice... just not good.

Such a great experience! The service was wonderful, the young gentlemen not only let me sample just about every flavor but had fun facts to share and provided his input in picking flavors. I couldn't narrow it down to one, or two...so I got three as the most logical choice. The flavors were unique and just delicious gelato overall.

They have special flavors my fav was spicy honey comb unfortunately it was there for a small period during April. If it is ever back try it. I didn’t give them 5 stars cause they removed it 🙈 Tried other things like banana, vanilla, mint chocolate .. all was good my friend loved the black sesame a lot Every time I go I taste the new things and staff are helpful so taste before you order cause the portion is big.
