Dolcezza in Lambeth

The perfect place for a coffee, coffee and a cake or even lunch. Interesting building and a variety of seating options.... Definitely child-friendly!

Este fue sin duda mi bar favorito café en Stockwell zona pero me siento decir que las puertas son ahora el propietario permanentemente cerrado y entendemos no será reabierto. Este es un gran pena, ya que ECHO de su magnífico café y deliciosos croissants y repostería casera en el lugar y el espacio disponible para trabajar con Wifi gratuito.

Gran café en el antiguo edificio georgiano convertido que se parecía un poco a un antiguo hospital: techos altos y trabajos de ladrillos a la vista que se esperan de esta parte de Londres. Wi-Fi de alta velocidad y asientos amplios y variados. Pocas personas probablemente pasen sus días de trabajo en línea allí y yo no los culparía si lo hicieran.

Asked for 4 croissants, got 3 which turned out to be burnt, empty display, frozen cakes. Really disappointed.

He probado este lugar italiano junto con otros. Este es el peor, el tiramisú estaba lleno de mantequilla y tan vieja, creo que estaba allí por días. Además he decidido hacer mi tarta de cumpleaños allí, no una tarta de frutas con crema pasticerra. La pastelería era medio sin cocer y el pasticerra nada tiene que ver con la que vivió allí en Italia (5 años). Para mí un lugar para evitar en el futuro si quiero tener algo en italiano.

I ordered my graduation cake and me and all my family where extremely surprised. The ingredients are very fresh and it s really serving exclusively authentic Italian cakes. hardly RECOMMEND TO EVERYONE and I wont ever go anywhere else to order cakes! :)

He venido aquí para 3. 5 años y en los últimos meses noté un descenso de la calidad/tamaño de las porciones usadas, pero un aumento en los precios que cobran. Hoy fue el peor día pero, servicio tardó mucho tiempo (sólo había una persona trabajando en el café) y cuando finalmente llegó mi cruasán tostado para mí es recocido y no podía comer. Más personal son necesarias para cubrir el café y un enfoque renovado para conseguir la calidad de la comida de vuelta a lo que solía ser, por favor! Solía me encanta este lugar.

All the different coffees you could want, good size, clean, food pretty expensive, but ok for a quick drop in 20 minute coffee and croissant moment!

Coffee is good, all savoury food on three visits has been overpriced and very poor quality. £6 for a bagel. Avoid.

Lovely and spacious. Good range of sweet and savoury eats and the full range of proper Italian coffees. Always buzzy whilst quiet enough to concentrate on whatever you are watching or reading. Friendly staff too!

I live five minutes away for a couple of months now. First time, i tried having a cappuccino and brownie.. Everything is about right :) Brownie is just the right amount of sweetness :)

I have loved going to Dolcezza in the past and regularly go there. However, I went in today to find that there is new management and they have increased their prices hugely for exactly the same items of food and drink. I don't mind a small increase but nearly a pound extra for a cup of tea which is essentially a teabag and water seems a bit steep. Also no tap water set out anymore so that you can help yourself. Wonder if they want you to pay for that too. What a shame.

Really good food particularly the sweet stuff.Croissants looked amazing. Had an apple pastry and was delicious.Really recommended

I am regular client of Dolcezza, I like so much the premises, the Italian coffee, especially the friendly staff as Marianna and Mirko. Worth it to try the wrap that remind a authentic Italian piadina. I hope you will enjoy spend time in there as much as I do

Have come here multiple times and even make a long journey to come since moving away.Fresh croissants made onsite by real Italian chefs and you can really taste the difference.It is quite a bit and empty cafe but great for food - definitely recommend for a coffee meet up .

Having just moved into the area and being a coffee snob, I was absolutely delighted to find Dolcezza on my doorstep. The coffees were spot on and the pastries and cakes delicious. So good that I went back for lunch. Given that my new flat is extremely small, I will most definitely be spending a lot of time in Dolcezza. The service was excellent too. Looking forward to this morning's cappuccino already!!

Love the coffee and the pastries here especially the mignons. They make cakes to order and a small daily changing menu for lunches such as salads or pastas. There are also fresh juices on offer and in summer fantastic home made ice cream.

A wonderful spot to have a breakfast full of light and of italian pastries. The wonderful croissants are really made according to the best italian tradition

The food is fabulous !It tastes as good as it looks Worth travelling any distance to come and eat and have coffee.here I have come from Perth ( Scotland) :-) Their selection of teas , great coffee yummy yummy patisserie - and it IS STUNNINGLY SUMPTUOUS patisserie NOT cakes!you have to come and try this place out and tell all your friends too

Close by the gym, this cafe has delicious food! Met a mate for a quick coffee and cake combo, well worth the visit!Coffee was ok but I'm a coffee snob, gotta be honest lol

Every morning I stop in this coffee shop for my breakfast. Always they provide me the same good quality coffee with a smile . I use this place to work with my laptop over the weekend, and it's fantastic cause I'm not the only one doing this. A lot of computers with a weekend dressed people working and enjoying an amazing cup of coffee with tasty sweets. Highly recommendable. Good product with the perfect staff.

Such a nice little place, good coffees, cakes, salad, and nice atmosphere. Prices are also very affordable! Sad though dogs aren't allowed but also understandable.

Well waiting for a meeting close by we popped into this hidden gem for a coffee. The cappuccino's were great and probably the cheapest in London to boot. The sandwiches were beautifully presented and tasted as lovely as it looked. Their staff was amazing as well

Nous avons eu l'occasion de déjeuner dans cet endroit. Les salades sont simples mais très bonnes, de même pour les pizzas et pantins. Tout est fait maison. Je recommande ce lieu très chaleureux !

Miglior caffè italiano a Londra.Locale bellissimo, atmosfera accogliente, esposizione delle vetrine molto curato e pulito.Personale gentile.Locale spazioso ma intimo allo stesso tempo. Da provare assolutamente!

Popped into Dolcezza when I recently attended a course in Oval - despite the building being a little unprepossessing (I wasn't sure it was actually a cafe because the entrance is internal after a kinda empty exhibition space), it's a lovely open space.The space has a large open plan New York loft feel - whitewashed brick, mix of formal table/chairs & mismatched armchairs/sofas.The food feels quite high end European - lots of croissant/brioche options. The sweet treats the cafe is named after looked really appetising.Staff were pleasant, not overly chatty or smiley but efficient and polite.I had a freshly prepared juice (apple, kiwi & ginger). Seemed a little small, but actually just right due to the filling nature of the fruit pulp/froth.They have Internet, a place to charge your phone & it was bustling without being noisy or overcrowded.All in all, a nice experience in an area where there isn't much option for a sit down meal or snack.

dopo i tantissimi inviti ad andare a fare colazione da "dolcezza" finalmente ho avuto l'occasione di passarci!!!locale MERAVIGLIOSO!! ottimo per rilassarsi,conversare o leggere un buon libro!ho bevuto un cappuccino davvero ottimo, e mangiato un cornetto alla crema spettacolare!!!se non vivessi dall'altra parte di londra andrei tutti i giorni!!!ultra mega consigliato!!!!!

The food is very good, in particular cornettos and mignon. I love to go there for breakfast. The staff is very friendly and nice.

The coffee here is true Italian style! The desserts are mouthwatering and is made in their kitchen fresh daily. I love their breakfast croissants with all the different combinations. The tables are very spaced out giving a spaciousness feel to the place. I love hanging out here!

I stop by daily to have my flask filled up with coffee and occasionally at weekends. They have now taken on board comments about wifi table hoggers with notices asking patrons to be considerate. Croissants and mignons are all delicious. Personal favourite is the coconut mignons or pain au raisin.

My partner had a sudden craving of cannoncini (mini cone pastry with cream) when he was watching the Italian serie of Monteplano - I found this place by chance. The location is easy to find, between Oval station and Stockwell, on the left if coming from Oval. It is located on the ground floor of what looks like an old, huge factory made of bricks. Outside there is an advertisement for Gym membership and a Tesco express is adjacent to the building. No parking available at the front, even for Tesco store but there are possibilities on the meters on the next street Durand Gardens- free on Sunday but beware of resident parking permit the other days.On entry to Dolcezza, there is a porch with tables and then a few steps up to the coffee shop itself. It was light , bright and massive ! You could peek at the kitchen behind the counter. For the amount of space available , the coffee shop itself was not particularly busy . However, nearly all the seats were occupied and there were not many for such a large space. There were an assortment of comfy bright sofas, low tables , top table with stools and round the corner , a large dining table for sharing.Staff were Italian and very friendly, you order, pay and take your food away to your table. Coffees, hot chocolate ordered were very good. The cannoncinis were delicious. My partner could not resist getting some more to take home and I also selected a mini box of 'mignons'. I especially recommend the mango 'mignon'. It was perfect, the banana was more of a mousse for me but tasted as delicious with a melting chocolate top.We enjoy this great find and would be back again soon . This place also sell delightful full size cakes , tiramisu and tarts for about £22-26 .The only thing which annoyed me was the number of singles perched up on their stools with opened laptops with half empty glasses of lattes. If this place is going to work, they better have more tables and chairs or have a time limit on internet access.

I really like this place but can't help wondering if it will last. It is huge. Including the kitchen basketball court sized, even bigger perhaps. Despite the size there are only ten tables and there is normally one available. I love this space but the rent must be huge.The coffee is better than chain coffee shops but probably not quite as good as some independent coffee shops. It is however cheaper. £1.90 for a flat white compared to £2.50 elsewhere. The pastries look good but havent tried them yet. I would love it if they were a restaurant in the evening. Their kitchen is easily big enough to do pizzas in the evening.

Dolcezza is our great neighbourhood pasticceria. Not only do they serve excellent coffee and seriously delicious cakes and pastries, the space is enormous and you can even access the cafe via a ramp at the back. Even better, Dolcezza is open early (for London) which is fantastic for those of us pushing prams and desperate for coffee. The staff are great and welcoming of everyone and this means they have cultivated a diverse and loyal clientele.

The coffee was nice.The kitchen was closed at 14:30 on a Saturday...??? There were 4-5 sandwich options which all looked delicious, however there was no flexibility when I asked if I could add some meat to one of the meatless sandwiches as the kitchen was closed. Is a chef really required to out a slice of meat on an already prepared sandwich?? The deserts looked very good.The price was average, about £5.50 for a coffee and a meatless sandwich. Ordering at the till is fine, however it would be more polite to deliver the hot food to the customers table rather than the waiter/waitress shout from the till for the customer to return to pick up their food.The cafe looks great and the atmosphere was relaxed. Its very family friendly (read 'lots of kids') Both toilets were out of loo roll and the bins were overflowing with paper towels.All in all, it was ok. I'd return for a coffee but only if I was passing by.

I have been wondering whether to post this as I don't want it to get busy and more expensive! But my altruism knows no bounds so for the good of humanity here's my review. This is by far the BEST coffee in London and it comes in generous quantities. £1.80 for a tall latte! Speaking to the barista, they source it from a elite producer in Northern Italy and you can tell! The atmosphere is lovely and there's a production facility out the back where you can watch all the goodies being produced - ciabattas, cakes, salads etc. Stockwell have got a blinder here. If you're in Clapham or Brixton you should check Dolcezza out before it becomes busier or more expensive. But don't tell too many of your friends please.

Love this local place. Free wifi, great coffee, great afternoon mignon and coffee offers (£2.50) spacious environment with friendly staff.. What's not to love?

As and Italian you grow up with a pasticceria (a patisserie) and a gelateria (and ice cream shop) never far away. In the UK those good habits are difficult to find. But suddenly the Italians open Dolcezza. The croissants at Dolcezza are even first spot with a place in France I go on holiday to (try the one with the cream inside). The little cakes are incredible, freinds brought two boxes last night for dinner, my man was like a little kid, that is how excited he was. They open one if Shoredich too now, coffee and croissant have all a different meaning now. Thank you Dolcezza

Friends and I all love the fact that this place has opened up around the corner from us. Fantastic coffee, great pastries and on the occasions that they have had freshly made chocolates they are absolutely delicious!!! Brilliant place to take kids - or do a bit of work

Utilising an old print works, with high ceilings and wide open spaces, tables, sofas, books, newspapers ... this is just a great space for friends to meet up. It is child friendly, but so spacious that children need not be a nuisance. You can see into the kitchen where fresh food is prepared using obviously authentic ingredients. The coffee was hot and tasted like coffee. The freshly baked cakes and pastries are almost as good as you would find anywhere, and the value for money of their coffee and cake deal is simply unbelievable. A great discovery.
