Fantastic espresso and cappuccino! The espresso was authentic to Italy and the service was excellent. Great little spot and will have to return to try the gelato when it gets a bit warmer out.

I have been working at Dolce Gelato for about 3 months. I really love this job becauseit's a nice little cozy cafe in a nice location in Somerville;these are the smiles of children who are happy that their parents brought them to a cafe to enjoy gelato;it is the aroma of the best Italian coffee that adults come for...I am very happy for every visitor and try to provide the best service from myself. Sorry for my English, I'm learning it every day, but it's still not enough.Everyone is welcome to visit Dolce Gelato for a cup of coffee with a sandwich or a delicious Italian dessert of your choice!I thank all visitors for their comments on this site and said simply in the face! I'm so sorry Emily DOE that I upset you so much by giving you 4 quarters instead of 1 paper dollar. I didn't have any more singles in the cash register at the time. But I gave you and your friend the correct change. I hope you will come again and I will try to find the change in bills that you like. Thank you for your comment!

I feel bad giving a one star review since the gelato looked good and this is a local business. So I'm going to give this a two star. I went in with my friend just to order hot chocolate. The cost of the hot chocolate was 3.09. My friend gave the lady 5 dollars and 9 cents. My friend gave the exact amount of cents so she can have two dollars even. The counter lady had trouble understanding this and did not understand why my friend gave her 9 cents. Then, when I ordered a hot chocolate, I gave her 20 dollars and 10 cents. I needed 17.01 in change. She initially gave me 20 dollars (a 10 dollar bill and two 5 dollar bills) and several coins as change. She told me to check the change. I gave her back the 5 dollars and the coins because she gave me more money than I gave her originally. I told her that I need two dollars and one cent in order to have 17.01 dollars back. However, she insisted that I need only 16 dollars in change and the change in coins were fine. I asked her if she had any more single bills but she said she didn't. I did not want to make a big fuss over not receiving the exact amount of change, since she is doing her best, but my money is my hard earned work.Basically what I am trying say is the counter lady does not know how change works. Maybe the computer doesn't calculate it for her? I'm not sure.

Really nice little gelato spot. The woman behind the counter was very accommodating and let us sample a few flavors. The persimmon was really interesting. Never had it as a gelato flavor before but it was sweet and delicious. Worth checking out for a quick bite.

How did I miss this coffee shop in the time I have been around Somerville ! It's right along the cobblestone street bang opposite Tiki Bar and Blue sheep cake shop Since they don't have a prominent sign like it happened to me . you can walk past the store and miss it ! We only tried the Gelato and I don't have words to express my satisfaction having found an authentic gelato almost close to what we had in Italy . Wr got a mix and match of Pistachio & hazelnut flavor. Creamy rich loaded with pistachio goodness and delicate hazelnut flavor making it a wickedly divine duo They also have coffee and affogato and gelato croissant sandwich that I saw couple others having . That's going to be my pick next time ! The girl at the counter was very sweet . While she was not Italian herself she was well versed in all things in the shop. Service can be slow as she manages solo so be prepared to wait a bit . Secondly , there is not much room inside as it's narrow with three 2 seaters high stools But given all this , anyone who has tasted and loves the real deal Italian gelato must try it here .

Best gelateria you’ll find in NJ with homemade gelato and other sweet Sicilian treats by Roberto. The pistacchio, cioccolato & crema croissant's are to die for… ? Highly recommend. ????
Yummy pastries and gelato. A cute spot with authentic goods!!

The gelato here is great... This store offers many different types of gelato, espresso/coffee drinks. A small gelato was just under $5 and is filled generously. The gelato isn't too sweet and doesn't taste artificial. The store is narrow, but offers a few tables outside to sit at. It could be hard to miss if just walking by but definitely worth the stop.
