Stumbled upon the cutest coffee shop today, and I’m so glad I did! The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming, with just the right mix of rustic charm and modern touches. The baristas were friendly and genuinely seemed to enjoy being there, which made the whole vibe even better. I ordered a latte, and it was perfection—smooth, creamy, and just the right amount of richness. It’s one of those spots where you instantly feel at home, whether you’re catching up with a friend or just savoring a quiet moment with a great cup of coffee.

For many years, I've found a second home at Cafe Dolce. The comforting aroma of their coffee and the delightful combination of a delicious soup and a crispy croissant for breakfast always make me feel at ease. The fact that Cafe Dolce opens at 8 am is a blessing, as it's often a challenge to find a cozy breakfast spot around here. For lunch, the panini and freshly made crape are also yummy. My mom is a big fan of walnut cake here and loves the coffee very much. It is an excellent place to hang out with friends and family.

Cafe Dolce has become our family's favorite breakfast spot, striking the perfect balance between being welcoming to kids and serving delicious dishes. We've savored a variety of their breakfast offerings, baked goods, and coffee, and they consistently impress us in all three categories. While the cafe is somewhat petite in size, we've never encountered difficulty finding seating, and when the weather permits, the outdoor seating is a charming option.

Café Dulce is one of the first places I visited when I moved to Connecticut from Westchester. My neighbor invited me so we could get to know each other better and since then I have visited regularly bringing my spouse, children and my mother in law. The staff are friendly, the coffee is great and the pastries are out of this world! Always fresh and delicious. Whether you decide to dine in or grab a quick dessert Cafe Dulce will satisfy any craving.
