Everything Dolce

Very cute spot for dessert, coffee, light dinner, or lunch.

Everything Dolce is easy to find on Central Ave just past 9th/MLK. Parking was a breeze even with a Rays game going on down the street. The interior is nice and cozy and there is a good sized courtyard on the side with places to sit and watch live music, which happens every night.

My friend and I decided to order a light dinner before digging into the desserts (which is really why we came). They do serve wine and beer. Prices and selection are good. We both we given the low down on all the items in the dessert cases. My friend ordered an ice coffee which was flavored with cookie dough syrup. Who knew?  We decided to share two sandwiches, the Patron and the Chicken Salad. They split the sandwiches for us in the kitchen and even split the sides for us. Above and beyond. The sandwiches were very good. Not over sized but just right. My friend raved about the potato salad and I liked that I could get fresh fruit with my meal.

Throughout our experience service was warm and friendly. Definitely a very comfortable, relaxed atmosphere.

The desserts were very good. They have a pastry chef who knows what he's doing. Everything is portioned for one. Cute little mini cakes, etc. We had the chocolate cigar, a peanut butter chocolate chip cookie, and a brownie to sample. The cookie was surprisingly light with a nice peanut butter flavor. The chocolate cigar was good but I think it would have been better warmed slightly. It is kept in a refrigerator case which is not the best for maintaining the flakiness of the dough. It did have a nice chocolate flavor set off with cinnamon, yum! The brownie was great too. A nice combination of fudgy and cakey with a strong chocolate flavor. There were chocolate chips/pieces in the brownie and a chocolate glaze over the top.

Overall, I really liked this place. I can't wait to return and try more desserts!

I stopped by today to get some goodies for an office. Inside this little shop is inviting and their display case looked fantastic.

I picked out a dozen various cookies and an espresso chip gluten free cookie for myself. I must say, If this is what gluten free tastes like I'm a fan.

I also ordered a cinnamon cafe con leche, which was quite tasty-it might have been a little top sweet for me, but with a little less sugar it would have been spot on.

I hope this little independent sweet shop survives.  I was feelin' the vibe and the woman who helped me was incredibly friendly.

Absolutely fantastic!  Great place for gluten free and vegan desserts.  Hands down the best  flour less chocolate cake I have ever had and their sangria, made with fresh squeezed orange juice, is to die for!
