Master Critic Review
Cafe Dulce
7.9
Part coffee bar, part bakery, Cafe Dulce pairs strong espresso with a rotating case of donuts and pastries that feel very Little Tokyo. It’s a small, lively stop that works equally well for a quick sugar fix or a casual hang.
Must-Try Dishes:
Green Tea Donut, Sausage Donut, Blueberry Matcha Latte + Pastry
