La Dolce Vita

"My daughter bought her wedding cake here. It was so delicious and beautiful that the next year when I needed a cake for her baby shower, we returned. They were so friendly and accommodating, willing to personalize and customize within reason. The cake was gorgeous and just as yummy as the wedding cake. When I went to pick it up, the dining area was full and the counter looked so inviting. A quality establishment and one I will definitely go back to again and again!"

"A quaint little gem in downtown Olean. The food is excellent, and my cappuccino was top-notch. There's not a lot of seating, but that adds to the ambiance of the place. Friendly staff and quick service."

"Desserts did not taste as good as I expected. And cost more than they're worth. Example. Lemon tart. The crust was okay but the filling was too starchy made with fake lemon. Can't wait to try the coffees!"

"This little cafe was my saving grace on a recent trip to Olean. I discovered when I tried to log on to the hotel’s Wi-Fi that my VPN couldn’t be used on unsecured Wi-Fi, so I booked it to La Dolce Vita, which is a delightfully charming place to post up for a few hours. I sampled a good bit of the menu in my ~6 hours or so that I was there, and the cafe seemed to be popular with the locals around breakfast and lunch, seeing increased traffic at both times. That’s a good sign of a quality place! Their coffee was excellent, and Angelica at the front counter was effervescent in her work. The baked goods are drool-worthy. I got a pumpkin scone, apple twist, and a lemon-blueberry sugar cookie that was the best cookie I’ve ever had in 32 years on this planet. They were so good that I went back and got three more for the road and to share with family when I get to Buffalo, NY. They also have a small section up front featuring locally crafter goods! That’s a lot of words to say something very simple: go here if you’re in Olean or the surrounding areas and need good coffee, a lovely atmosphere, delicious food…or secure Wi-Fi. Just be sure to tip the staff and thank them for their generosity!"

"The best bakery in Olean hands down! The awesome team at Dolce Vita really went the extra mile to help me make sure my girlfriend had one of the most amazing birthday cakes we have ever tried. They were kind enough to ask how i would like to customize the cake even though I was just buying a few slices. The result was an amazing vanilla cake with bavarian cream filling and raspberry topping. I can't say enough positive things about this spot and we will certainly be returning for more cake, cookies, coffee, and more. Thanks!"
