My mother, sister, boyfriend, and I had the great pleasure of visiting Dolce and Bean today. The gentleman running the store was so welcoming and friendly, and treated us like family. The treats are delicious and next time I’d like to try the coffee too. Highly recommended if you’re in the Del Rey area! An easy 5 stars.
Go to Dolce and Bean for tasty chocolates and sweets with wonderful service that is amazingly friendly and welcoming! I especially liked the Chocolate Obsession cake!
Nice place, great service! We tried gelato, tiramisu and macarons and they were delicious and presentation is perfect. So nice to stop by or give a sweet complement.
Best macarons and chocolate....We initially went down the street to ice cream, but they were mostly sold out. Thus, we went down the street and so glad we did....The next stop was so much better....The macarons were very tasty without being sugary. The lemon was so good and melted in your mouth. It was as if you were eating a small lemon meringue pie. There were many other flavors that I wish I had tried them all. I also bought chocolates which were also very good. Gave the chocolates as gifts and they were very well received. My daughter had their gelato and I tried a bite, it was also exceptionally good quality.
The staff here were very helpful on providing recommendations and servicing a large order. So far everything I tried tasted so good. I will definitely be coming back.
So glad I came by to get some dessert. I tried the carrot cake, decadence cake, bourbon chocolate cake, and Oreo cheesecake. All were good but decadence really stood out, must-try for chocolate lovers. I also tried the tiramisu chocolate truffle but that was just ok for me. It was a little harder than expected but can be due to cold weather.
Absolutely amazing. Me and my boyfriend stopped by looking for some hot chocolate after a long day and decided to give this place a shot. We were immediately greeted by the Owner in such a warm welcome. He proceeded to recommend items to us and had the best customer service. He was honestly probably the nicest person we have ever met! We will definitely be returning just for the service alone, not to mention the Hot chocolate and affogato we got was incredible !
Good coffee and very nice chocolates. No seating inside currently but couple tables with chairs outside which worked great on a sunny coos day in December. Worked perfectly well for us and good for observing COVID-19 related safety measures.
My friend brought me here after brunch in Del Ray. The chocolates, cake, & macarons are FANTASTIC & I keep coming back for the welcoming, friendly, kind, attentive service from the shop owner & staff. 5/5 stars ?
There really isn't another shop in Alexandria that is quite like Dolce & Bean. You can't go wrong, whether you are picking up a hostess gift, gelato for the kids, or simply stopping to grab an espresso and something sweet. Customer service here is also just at another level. Hands down my favorite spot in the city.
