It's located right across from Zip KBBQ and next to Sal's Pizza. Honestly, I wasn't expecting much but I was sorely mistaken. There isn't much space to sit and eat in the store but there's plenty of tables just outside the door.I was impressed by the vegan death (pistachio with almond milk). I think it was better than the regular version. I had this with the Ferrero Rocher because that's my favorite chocolate these days and it just hit right. I love how they have unique names and flavors. I really want to try the salted maple caramel next time.Service was good even though she was by herself and there was a line. She was able to keep it going and even gave us samples.

We always make a pit stop here after dinner for dessert. My son enjoys ice cream from here. His favorite is their chocolate ice cream. Fun fact: every time we stop by, they have a different flavor menu. On Sunday, I remembered seeing they had Snow White & the 7 Dwarfs themed ice cream flavor. They allow you to try their ice cream before making a decision on which one you want. They have kid size cups. It's a good size for my son, husband, and I. The service was great as usual. The young lady behind the counter was so helpful.

Likes:+ Fun, sweet, colorful flavors.Two huge parking lots, but it can be a bit of a walk given how often crowded this plaza is.Non-likes:- Slow service. Only one employee on deck.- Messy presentation (see picture). Small size cup doesn't come with a lid. Melted ice cream overflowing the small cup and spilling everywhere. Hands and lap dirty if driving with one hand and holding the ice cream in the other hand. Have to ask for a larger cup to put the small cup in. Even so, still a huge mess. Had to also wrap with napkins cuz it was spilling onto my hands and potentially car seat.- Server doesn't wear gloves.- And he wasn't friendly. Didn't seem happy to be there.- Unhealthy. It's mostly just ice cream. Not a lot of actual fruit bits for vitamins and fiber.

I'm so glad I finally tried Dolce Gelato after always passing by the shop. My husband and I shared a medium size - pistachio and fruits of the forest flavor. The consistency was perfect and the gelato was also not too sweet.

Found this place on yelp. Located inside the district, next to AMC. U get 3 samples. Lots of yummy flavors to chose from. Different sizes. They even take home containers.! No seating inside but there are tables and chairs outside. Friendly staff. I got Ferrero rocher and a chocolate sea salt truffle. So good!

One of my favorite gelato spots of all time. It first started off as a random dessert spot with friends but now we love coming here for the new monthly themes. It's become a staple part of our friendship and im so glad :)My favorite part of coming to dolce is being able to sample the new flavors they come out with!! It never gets boring and the combinations are really creative and good!! I hope dolce gelato never closes

Dolce Gelato is located right next to the movie theatre at The District. It's a store that has all the fun new flavors of gelato and sorbetto. There's only a table inside for seating but here at the district you can sit anywhere outside so that's a plenty. I had chosen a small sized cup which holds 2 flavors and the portion was pretty decent. I always get the Nutella or chocolate hazelnut in every gelato store so that was one of my choices and the next was pistachio. In my opinion the gelato was just good. It didn't have the rich velvety and dense flavor as I've had at some of the best places. Every time I have had gelato in Europe it's always very thick and dense and this was less rich and dense compared to them. Either way it's summer time so this place should do well.

Delicious Gelato and conveniently located in the center of the square by AMC theatres. They have a selection of unique flavors which they change every month! You can try 3 samples. And then choose your size of cup - Kids, Small, Medium or Large. They have some flavors with alcohol and they did warn us that the kids couldn't try those which we appreciated. I had the Salted Maple Caramel which was divine! Pleasant staff and yummy gelato!

While I enjoyed the Dolce Gelato location in Laguna Beach, this one was not so special. They ran out of waffle cones and gave us a regular sugar cone, and the ice cream is not much quantity wise for the price you pay. I am not sure if i will return, as this place was just ok and I can probably get better ice cream somewhere else close by. As for the positives, it is located in the District outside the theaters and you can walk around after and take a stroll.

Came here after dinner. They had a Winnie the Pooh theme going on with gelato flavors named after characters which was really fun and nostalgic. I got the Winnie the Pooh (honey caramel crunch) and maple salted caramel and it was so good! The gelato had a creamy texture and the flavors were strong without being overly sweet. Would love to try the rest of their menu!
