The desserts look wonderful, but the flavor itself was very disappointing and lacking. The ‘Persian love cake’ is not really a cake but a mousse and the teddy bear cake was also a mousse. I’ve enjoyed mousse before but the flavors were quite dull and unenjoyable, I couldn’t finish it. The staff was nice though and the wait time wasn’t long at all. It was about $12 per dessert so not bad. -
Excellent cafe! We stopped by on a Saturday afternoon because we were in the area and I desperately needed a coffee. I was unprepared for the incredible surprises of all this cafe has to offer! The ladies next to us were having a “girls day” and had scrumptious looking sandwiches and salads, I wished I had room for a whole meal. We decided to try something sweet with our coffee and have it “for here” because the staff were so kind and warm. Feels like a wonderful place run very excellently. I can’t wait to visit again. Great place for a date, family outing or “girls lunch”. -
I was looking for go to this place it look big nice place. They took like 10 minutes just for one coffee and one little cake. A bit too long. The cake taste good light taste, soft and colorful a nice attraction for people. -
I recommend the smoked salmon sandwich with multigrain bread. I had it with avo instead of cream cheese. Yum!
To enhance the experience, I recommend you to finish with a pistachio macaroom. I'm pretty sure your nutritionist will give you a thumbs up ;) -
I’m running off 3 hours of sleep and pushing deadlines at work. After dropping my son at school I came to Dulce this morning, and it did not disappoint. Besides the staff, that always makes me feel welcomed, Dulce serves more than delicious food and amazing coffee. They are serving care and beauty. It’s something to look down at a meal and truly feel cared for. Truth is, that’s not something you can buy. And the only place I’ve experienced that is at my mother’s house or during Friend’s Giving every November. I rarely post reviews for my favorite places in Durham because I don’t want too many people knowing. But TikTok made Dulce famous. The world knows them, what’s amazing is that they haven’t let that compromise anything. So next time you stop by Dulce, remember they don’t have to make the pastry or granola you ordered beautiful. They do it because they care. It’s a love language quickly running out. Let’s take care of the businesses that love us.
