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!

I come to town for work often and this is my Go To Lunch Break.

Food is really good, the bread is stellar, and the coffee is on point!

Not to mention… the pastries are excellent too!

Always look forward to work trips in town knowing I can pop in for a bite or grab & go breakfast.

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.

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!

Great food to spend money it was delicious, atmosphere was great, place is clean and people around are friendly . I enjoyed

I placed a large pastry order as a gift and Laurie was so helpful and accommodating, especially considering it was during the holidays! I’m from out of town and she helped me go over my options on the phone and went above and beyond for me. So happy with how it all turned out.

Beautiful spot. Delicious food, chai latte was excellent. Well worth the stop.

Consistently my favorite Olean cafe for coffee and pastry selections. Everything I've tried is delicious (salads, sandwiches and quiche too). Sometimes the line can get backed up, but it's still worth the wait. Free WiFi and indoor and outdoor seating. The crafts on display are cute too.
My only wishes are indoor seating closer to the windows (for days I want sunshine but no street noise) and a way to include pastries on online orders. I know the huge variety would make it a hassle to list each day's fresh stock - but since most cookies and scones go for $3.50, maybe there could be an "assorted pastry" option for the person picking up to decide and have thrown in the bag at the end? Unlike drinks and entrees they only take a moment to pack and send off.

Loved this lil place! Will definitely return🤗

Finally had a chance to visit this place, I had the avocado toast with egg, it was delicious. It's a fairly small menu but everything looks and sounds amazing. The people are friendly and attentive. Definitely add it to your schedule if you're in town.

I have been meeting friends here for breakfast and a coffee a couple times a week for the last couple weeks and it has quickly become one of my new favorites. The staff is so friendly and all the food is delicious. I watched the owner making a cake for a few seconds while we chatted and it was stunning. Cant wait for my next event to give me an excuse to taste one! Don't sleep on this one!

Love La Dolce Vita! Thank you for my delicious cookies!

Super friendly. Delicious. Desserts were amazing

Wow! My Mother & I just had another fabulous lunch at La Dolce Vita! Fresh, tasty food served by wonderful, cheery people! And awesome desserts to finish with. What's not to like!?

Amazing as always and the girls are so pleasant and friendly!!

Coffee was excellent and freshly brewed and my scone was perfect with just the right amount of sweetness. Looking forward to trying more from the menu!

The food is top notch for a good price. The baked goods are excellent. It's also very quaint. The workers were extremely helpful and so nice. I highly recommend.

The Catalina salad is out of this world! Great baked goods as well. Nicely decorated cozy place. Staff is friendly.

Picked up dessert for friends who were coming for lunch. Staff gave suggestions for lemon raspberry cupcakes. Delicious.
