Dolce Gelato

This gelato spot is located less than 5 minutes walking from Laguna Beach. There's a couple of different gelato spots around the area, one of which had a loooong line. We didn't want to wait in a long line so we stumbled across this spot. Not sure why this place doesn't also have a line! They have tons of unique flavors. I got the ferrero rocher and fruit of the forest (mixed berries) the combination of the two flavors was immaculate! I'm still dreaming of this flavor combination. I was able to get 2 flavors in the small size. After ordering, I took my gelato and walked along the beach! Such a good gelato spot.

A small gelato shop with dairy and dairy-free options, nestled between Broadway and PCH, it's the perfect stop whenever you're looking for something sweet. They have over 20 options, but only allow three samples per person, so choose wisely! We chose the Birthday Cake and Pistachio flavors while there, and added a waffle cone (which they freshly made, definitely recommend to add on), which was delicious! Service was good, as the staff was friendly and prompt.

We have been here several times, but I took my kids there again today and I figured I owe them a review seeing as we keep on going back! The gelato is so fresh and rich and delicious. We cannot go to Laguna Beach without stopping in here. There are some flavors that are amazing and always seem to be there such as the Ferrero and Nutty Irish, birthday cake etc. However, there are also seasonal options that are always a surprise. There was a Star Wars inspired section in previous visits and today we had what I can only guess was Wicked inspired. You can mix different flavors in your cup and everyone can have up to 3 sample tastings if you just cannot decide or have always wanted to try another flavor. It's a quaint little shop, but does have a few little tables if you want to eat there. There is some parking out front but it is usually full, so we just park in a lot and walk on over when we are done with the beach or lunch etc. I saw on their screen today that they also use all natural food coloring (vegetable dye) instead of that awful chemical stuff. Also, there are lots of vegan options with almond milk or sorbet. Love this place and so do my kids.

This place has my husband's favorite waffle cones ever, so we come every time we're in the area. He always gets vanilla bean. I always sample until I figure out what I want. I got the werewolf (walnut milk chocolate and dulce de leche swirl), espresso and Sam (pumpkin pie). Delicious. But we did have to go back because I realized my espresso flavor was missing. That was the one I really wanted too. Would recommend and recommend the waffle cones! Always great service too!

Locals know this is THE spot. The flavors are magical! This week it's Wizard of Oz theme! And they have really nice crumble cobblers!!!

Good gelato, just wished they used organic dairy like Bacio Di Latte does. But if I'm in Laguna, I usually make a pit stop here.

During our recent vacation to Laguna Beach, we stumbled upon an ice cream shop with a stellar 4.7 Google rating and decided to check it out on a bustling Friday night. Despite the challenge of finding parking in the crowded area, our ice cream experience exceeded all expectations. Each flavor, like my Ferrero Rocher gelato, was a revelation, perfectly capturing its description with creamy hazelnut goodness and rich chocolate. The peanut butter chip was equally impressive, with just the right balance of creaminess and sweetness. The warm and inviting ambience of the shop, with its cozy raised tables, made our treat even more enjoyable. Moreover, the clerks were patient, attentive, and very kind, despite the store being super busy; they never made us feel rushed. What's more, it wasn't expensive, adding to the overall positive experience. Hands down, this is the best gelato we've ever had, and we wholeheartedly recommend it.

Such a cute ice cream shop among the cute walking alley by Laguna beach! W whether tastes so good! They have vegan options which is perfect for all the lactose intolerant girlies like me. I love all the flavors I tried, rabbit relationships (sour and tastes like green smoothie to me even the color is carrot like), basil is amazing, and Winnie the Pooh (coconut) are sweet and creamy. Definitely good place to have a nice all. Just parking is a bit tricky.

Came here on Monday afternoon and this place was packed. Obviously this is a great spot for creamy goodness during Summer. The staff are amazing and patiently answering our questions. So many flavors to choose from and we ended up with Birthday Cake since one of us just had a birthday. Can't wait to go back again to this cool shop and try other flavors

Pretty solid gelato shop. The only negative is the line out the door and it takes forever to get a cup. The flavors are pretty tasty and they have some unique flavors, but only 2 samples per person, and you're going to sit there for a while.
