Before I talk about the food, I want to talk about the owner and her family. Karina is the owner. She is an amazing woman beyond sweet and always has a smile when you come in. Her two daughters are as determined and driven as she is as well as amazing chefs. I would go here religiously for lunch over the last year and I also brought all my coworkers anytime It was my turn to pick where we ate for lunch. It's tucked away and you probably wouldn't see it unless you were going there purposely. Once you get in, it's a very eclectic, antique, floral and colorful it's just a happy feeling when you walk into this bakery. All the different plates and tea cups that they have on the back counter behind the register are so cute. ALL the food from desserts to lunch to taking a BOX of empanadas for dinner... Everything is delicious. Nothing lacks flavor. I always come for the flan because it's the perfect texture. I could eat a whole pan. The beef empanadas go quickly so call in early if you wanna get an order in for lunch. I'm still working my way through all of the desserts so I recommend going on an empty stomach because you have lots of options to choose from. Give the drink of the month a try too!

This was truly amazing and I already want to come back. My husband and I stopped by on a whim and wanted to try some empanadas. The server told us that they didn't have all their empanadas available and gave us the options. She then said that she had the ingredients available to make one of the original ones we wanted which I truly appreciated.We had the beef, chicken and cheese. They were all phenomenal. the chicken and beef were so juicy and so well seasoned. The sauce they served on the side was also fantastic.The vibe is fun and eclectic. Lots of pink and fun tea pots and decor. We will be back for sure!!

Wow, I'm embarrassed this has been under my nose for so long! Beef empanadas-crispy and huge. We ordered 2 and ended up splitting one. The seasoning on the beef was good but not my favorite flavor profile. Chopped Cheese & fries-I'll come back here for this over and over. We split it, and it's huge. The fries were perfectly seasoned and crispy. The chopped cheese was everything you love about a juicy burger in a piping hot wrap. The pastry case looked amazing but we were too full to try anything!

La Dolcekca was one of the vendors at this month's "Crown Town Neighborhood Showdown: A Royal Yelp Affair" and of all the presentations we tasted, it was the mini coconut bites that they had which make me take a business card. This morning, we're here as they open to see what else they have that's awesome and magical.The young ladies working this morning did not speak English so we weren't able to explain what it was we wanted so we chose from what was on display. My wife picked the cocosito and I chose the lemon bar. We split a coffee.The coffee was excellent. The cocosito was dry. The lemon bar was very good with a strong lemon flavor and a creamy curd though the crust was too thick and it took out our plastic spoon.Lots of options for baked goods and they also do sandwiches. The brewed to order coffee is excellent.[Review 2068 of 2024 - 3755 in North Carolina - 23087 overall]

This unassuming bakery on Montford is everything! Bodega style sandwiches, brunch, coffee, tea, pastries - what else could you want? I had the chimi sandwich and it was so good. Pulled pork with a tangy slaw and melty cheese. Comes with crispy, crinkle fries. Also had to get a pastry. The passion fruit tres leches was the best I've had. The cake itself was light with a not too sweet milk syrup. Topped with a passion fruit mousse it was perfection. My only request is I wish they had a half sandwich option. Can't wait to come back!

This will forever be one of my favorite places in Charlotte. They have the best chopped cheese in the city and probably the only legitimate chopped cheese, but they have so many other things to offer, including a fantastic bakery, coffee, and tea shop. Service is always great and the atmosphere is always chill. If you haven't been, you need to put this place on your must visit list. Get there soon because I heard they may be moving to a new location.

Friendly service, limited English. Chopped cheese is insanely good. Chimi sandwich is also insanely good...a little heavy on the salt but I like salt. Fries were just ok, maybe fried too much? They were oily and, believe it or not, too crunchy. Alfajor cookie was tasty but expensive. Would definitely return. For 2 sandwiches with fries (no drinks) and a cookie, plus a nice tip, was $52.29.

This place was warm and inviting. What really impressed me were the hours. A lot of small businesses have weird hours but 10a-10p is suitable for a lot of people and I think that's great. We stumbled here after leaving a near by establishment. We looked up the bakery on TikTok and my husband was hooked by a sandwich.The sandwich was everything he wanted and more! The fries were crunchy, season and hot! We live pretty far but will definitely be back. We did not get to try any of the bakery items. Service was friendly and welcoming with a smile!

Me encanta venir a la Dolcekca, desde los postres tres leches que son mis favoritos hasta las empanadas me encanta todo lo que he probado. Lo recomiendo!! El servicio al cliente es excelente y es un lugar bastante acogedor, para compartir con amistades y tomarse lindas fotos.
