Cafe Dolce

Lured by such inviting signs and the cute corner so off we had the unexpectedly sumptuous lunch! The salad was fresh and so is the salmon with it. The minestrone soup here is like no other that I can still remember the exact taste. Kid’s sandwich was also good (I have a picky eater). They also serve gelato here but I didn’t have any more room. The only con was that I got an extra order that i didn’t mean to put in. Have them review your order before paying just to be sure. The public restroom is close by, bike rentals in the same complex and the visitor’s center is right behind it. Highly recommend this place

We come here every year for the past 10 years. First stop when we get to town. Some business' go downhill and are never as good as you remember. Service slacks and quality is cheapened. Not Cafe Dolce! It gets better every year! Old favorites are still amazing , and new things to try. The owner Sam is always there and making sure everybody is happy! He knows how to run a great business! Make sure you don't miss this Gem in Solvang Ca!

We went a number of times. The food/coffee/drinks are phenomenal. Service was better in the mornings when the blond gentleman is there. He really explains things, chats you up and on the whole makes the whole experience. He gets 5 stars. The other gentleman and the ladies are all business and don't look like they enjoy beeing there. He/they get 3 stars.

Cafe Dolce, food quality was amazing. We got 3 sandwiches total and one breakfast waffle platter. Everything tasted really fresh and delicious. Price was arround 70.00 for 4 adults to eat with a drink each no sides or chips included. Service quality was casual average, nothing above and beyond pretty much just took the order and brought it outside to you. Reason I only gave two stars is we had a really bad out side experince. There is limited shade but we had some at our table, but the amount of bees that swarmed arround us and our food, after about 5mins of trying to eat we had to get our food in bags and retreat to the car to try and salvage our meal. They had no to go boxes only paper bags. Unfortunately if we came back we would not eat here, nor we would go to any outside dinning place either. If you are buying to take and go might be the place for you. If our experince outside had not been a disaster it would of probably been a 4 star review. Also felt like they were very un family friendly. Everyone knows kids dont eat much. The kids menu was 10.00 a plate for just a hot dog or a grilled cheese or a peanut butter and jelly sandwhich.. ... so I just shared my meal with my child. Just fyi for you if you have little ones.....
