Café Dolce

Café Dolce is a small coffee shop on Daggett Avenue that describes itself as serving Italian-style espresso and pastries; its website gives 2020 as its founding year. The drink menu covers espresso classics (cortado, cappuccino, traditional macchiato, breve), flavored and iced lattes, cold brew and nitro, chai and matcha, with both regular and sugar-free syrups.

The pastry case leans Italian. Reviewers frequently single out the cannoli, Italian cookies such as orange-almond and pistachio, and monachini, along with seasonal drinks like a cannoli-flavored holiday latte. The space is cozy, with outdoor seating out front for people-watching on The Hill.

Per the café’s site, it is open Tuesday through Friday from 7am to 5pm and weekends from 8am to 4pm, and closed Mondays.
