What can I say, this cute little Italian bakery is one of my favorite places to go in the Hill! I always have a good experience when I go and I love trying all of the authentic treats and desserts. I tried the cannolo and It was perfectly crispy on the outside with the right amount of filling. The amount of seating is pretty limited, so that's something to keep in mind if you visit there at a busy hour.

Super cute place! It was cold when we visited, so we couldn't use the front patio, but it looks like a lovely place to have a coffee on a spring morning. Prices were comparable to any small business coffee shop. Service was quick, and my latte was outstanding. Love the aesthetics of the place. My friends and I were able to sit in a cute corner seating area and shoot the breeze for a couple of hours. It wasn't busy busy, but it had a good steady stream of customers. Would totally visit again.

This place is amazing! The service is friendly and the coffee is amazing. This is a woman owned business and I love to support the local girlies in a great coffee shop! It's on the smaller side so go quick to get a seat inside or outside!

The cannolis are ready to order and they are absolutely delicious. You can add 2 different flavors to it . The service was quick and everyone was very helpful. It had a cool old school Italian feel inside with some merchandise to buy. Also it's dogs friendly inside and out !

Happened upon this cafe after dinner the other night and said I had to come back to try it. And I am so glad I did. It was so cute! Seating inside and outside. Pastries and coffee. The cannoli was made to order, and it was fantastic! I got one of the coffee specials and oh my gosh. 10/10. I will be back to try some more things!

An independent coffee shop. We enjoyed a well made cappuccino and an iced coffee Both were delicious. Had a Zeppole and another cream filled pastry. Very nice. It was a nice morning to sit outside.

Small charming coffee shop on, The Hill. It is kind of off the main drag on, The Hill, so parking is a lot easier. I'm not a fancy caffeine drink fan, I just like plain ole coffee and I like my coffee black. I was next door dropping off my taxes to my CPA and stopped by Cafe Dolce for a Cup of Joe to enjoy while I was driving out to the outlet mall. My coffee had a good flavor to it and was not over roasted like the major chain that is everywhere. In addition, to my coffee, I grabbed a Blueberry Scone. I was wavering between two flavors and the barista told me that Blueberry was a customer favorite. After biting into it, I could see why everyone likes it. It had a good soft texture, wasn't overly sweet and was crammed full of Blueberries. I am already looking forward to stopping in again, when I come back to my CPA to pick up my completed taxes.

As a coffee enthusiast, I always look for new coffee shops in St. Louis to satisfy my caffeine cravings. Recently, I stumbled upon a hidden gem nestled in the charming Italian village of The Hill. As I walked into the cozy establishment, the friendly staff greeted me with a warm smile. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee beans filled the air, making my mouth water in anticipation. I ordered my go-to iced caramel latte and decided to pair it with a few delectable pastries that caught my eye. The first sip of the latte was smooth and heavenly, and the pastries were just as delicious. The ambiance was perfect for a relaxing coffee break. This place has earned a spot on my list of top coffee shops in the city!
