Dolce Gelato
This hot and humid weather calls for drastic measures. Looking for a way to cool down I recently headed over to Dolce Gelato on College. The relatively new gelateria was doing brisk business. Customers of all shapes and sizes were lounging out front while others gathered around the tables indoors savouring the last taste of gelato flavours that range from mango to tiramisu.
While tempted to relive my youth with a scoop of the bubble gum, I ultimately opted for a cup with a scoop of passion fruit and a scoop of wild berry. Both were great. And just like most ice cream stores they let you taste as many flavours as you want before you make your final selection.
For immediate consumption, gelato is served in three cup sizes or two cone varities. Prices average in the $3-5 range. They also offer larger tubs for those looking to fill in some freezer space.

The Dolce people have years of experience working at another stellar gelato place and now they're doing it on their own. And they're doing a kick-ass job - the flavours are many and completely awesome. Very fresh and delicious.
From a professional POV, I like their gelato and its flavour. Top notch.
Highly recommended.

hollywood gelato is head and shoulders above this place, and compared to nyc gelato, hollywood sucks.
stay away!
The pistachio, coconut, and lemon here are exemplary flavors! VERY powerful (authentic) flavors! Awesome for taking home and using in recipes. I never knew what a pistachio tasted like until I tried this ice cream. I don't know what I've been tasting in my pistachio pudding all these years. LOL.
By the way, ice cream made with a higher fat content has a lower melting point. The perceived inconsistencies may be due to one being accustomed to an ice cream with more water (or stabilizers) in it.
$4.75 after taxes got a "medium" sized bowl with 2 flavours.
for the same price, you could get a Small single flavour in a waffle cone.
While the Sicilian Sidewalk Cafe across the street does have some good gelato, a better patio including liquor license, and a wider menu of actual food to choose from... If you are just going for gelato, Dolce has a far superior selection and the quality is just as good if not better.
