"From the outside, Dolce and Salato looks like the type of corporate bakery that you’d desperately buy a sad-looking croissant from before boarding a 7am flight at the airport. In reality, it’s actually an outpost of a North Jersey pastry shop that makes everything from snacks like arancini to deli staples like paninis and salads. There are a ton of places in Hoboken for pub food and massive Italian sandwiches, so it’s nice to know that Dolce and Salato has lighter options when you can’t take another chicken parm hero.

1st and last impression of this establishment. Came in for a quick cup of coffee. Wasn’t greeted nor acknowledged by staff as I reviewed the menu. Someone came in, who I assumed was a regular, and staff member jumped up to complete their order still without even acknowledging my presence. I ordered a medium coffee and was handed a cup 75% filled.I highly recommend reviewing their customer service before spending your time or money in this cafe.

So happy to have this bakery in my neighborhood. I am from Italy and the stuff from this place is legit; and the employees are always so friendly. Thank you guys for being here and providing us with a great option of food and coffee!

I had an extremely disappointing experience with both the management and staff at dolce and Salato. From the moment I walked in, it was clear that customer service is not a priority. They had these nice girls working there and all of them left, The new staff seemed disinterested, inattentive, and unprofessional. When I raised concerns, management was equally dismissive and offered no solutions or apologies. To top it off, the coffee was below average — bitter and poorly made. I usually ordered an iced latte and received a watered down iced cappuccino. I am someone who’s been going there for years and am left so dissatisfied, I enjoyed talking to the last staff and all of them left. They seem to always be changing their baristas and fail to train them well. For a place that prides itself on offering a quality experience, it missed the mark in every possible way. I expected much better and won’t be returning. I would not recommend this place if you’re looking for good service or a decent cup of coffee.

First, you have to know that if Misa is working (he’s in the photo), you NEED to order an iced latte from him. Trust me. He does some thing with the milk that just makes it absolutely magical without being sweet. Best. Latte. Ever. I’m a busy realtor in Hoboken and Jersey City. I have been in every coffee shop and every brunch spot there is. My boyfriend is a Home Inspector has been in even more than me. This place is our favorite go-to. I’ve liked every food item I’ve gotten there. If my friend is sick, I get a soup from dolce and salato. If I’m in a hurry, I grab one of their chicken Caesar wraps or any other pre-made food and feel spoiled eating it every time. And unsurprisingly, their pastries, gooooooood lord, they always make my day.

Surprisingly good lasagna! Not what you were expecting either right? Super nice spot to chill outside with some pastries or cookies. Solid egg and cheese sandwiches for breakfast. But yeah, I'm really surprised by how good the lasagna was. It was priced at $17 and the portion wasn't ginormous - but the quality and taste were better than a lot of other spots in Hoboken. From a pastry place. As far as coffee goes, I have to figure out my order. Overheard a staff member mentioning they had the best iced lattes - so I ordered one. They pour the espresso over ice and then blend it - and then toss that over your milk or whatever. Wasn't bad - but, maybe call it something else. I still prefer espresso over milk on ice cubes. They do use lavazza coffee beans - those are pretty good. Tough not to leave without some cookies - especially with the toddler shouting 'i want this one' at anything with a sign of chocolate on it. I'm personally a fan of the the tri color cookies (cakes?). Overall fun spot - a bit of a trek for where I am in the neighborhood, but we'll worth it on a nice day.

5/26/24 - coffee is not hot enough and an extra 2.99% for Apple pay, they are not good as before. 7 yrs ago - One of the best bakery here, their lobster tail, croissant, muffin and coffee are good. must go while traveling there.

This is such a neighborhood gem. The baked good and breakfast sandwiches are fantastic. And very reasonably priced for what you get. Very underrated! They should get a lot more business for what they offer!

Terrible and rude service. They were not interested in being nice or us having a pleasant experience - people really underestimate the power of being nice! Croissant was terrible, burnt and not fresh. The only good part was the whatever this rice ball was hence the 2 stars. Won’t be coming back here again!

I really enjoy their paninis and patisseries! Coffee is top notch as well. Whether sitting inside for a coffee and a bite to kick off the work day, outside for delicious lunch or simply grabbing some choice cookies with my kid Dolce is one of my favorite places to visit around Hoboken

I heard that this place has good cakes . specially Tiramisu. we got a Tiramisu cake for my friend birthday from this place and it was HORRIBLE. The cake should have been more than a week old . The icing was all hard and so Stale. The Tiramisu part was even worse . i never had a Tiramisu that was so dry that stale. Had a really bad experience with their cake .

My husband and I came by before church to grab breakfast, and it was so so pleasant sitting outside on a late summer weekend. Truly like a dream come true. We got an American Coffee (regular drip coffee), Egg White, Broccoli Rabe, Fresh Mozzarella Sandwich and cream custard croissant. The sandwich was a little bland but fresh and still delicious. The croissant was delicious and very flaky. Would recommend this spot! Plenty of seats inside and outside.

buffalo chicken wrap was absolutely FIRE. like maybe best Ive had in Hoboken. I just got a hot coffee with it and that also hit the spot. this place is cute and was fairly quiet in the saturday afternoon I stopped in. definitely will be returning!

Place is pretty cute and it has tables , phone chargers and high top seats with window view . The pastries we tried were great but I feel like the variety wasn't good as much of the stuff was empty . I expected more options for a Sunday .

Stopped by for an early lunch over the weekend. The place was not very crowded inside and only one table filled outside yet it took nearly 20 minutes to get two sandwiches. Their prices have gone up and I don't think the food quality is as good. It said on the menu inside the cafe the sandwiches come with a side salad but the Hoboken chicken salad one apparently does not. $12 for just the sandwich seems like a lot, but it was very tasty. The panini came with a small side salad - after 20 minutes the chicken was cold. Things have definitely changed since they first opened. I prefer Alessios over here.

Good service. Clean, modern ambiance. Ample indoor and outdoor seating. Delicious pastries and great coffee.

Favorite place for Italian coffee and pastries and there are SO many to choose from in Hoboken. This place reminds my Italian friends of their favorite cafe in Rome. The latte options are my preference, but the regular coffee is also delicious. I have never had the gelato myself, but my husband has and loves it.

Kylie N.

Yelp
Nice cafe in Hoboken but not the nicest staff. Pros: they have a variety of choices on their menu that all look delicious. Unfortunately I only got to try the small sugar cookies with sprinkles and it was firm (in a good way) and good. Reasonable pricing. Cons: I came here with a friend and the kids we watch so they can have a small snack and use the bathroom on a very cold day. Upon coming in one of the staff members gave us a very rude look, like she did not want us there. It was very off-putting. The other staff member assured us it was okay we were there and was very nice. I don't think I will be returning since there are so many other cafes I can give my service to whose staff will not behave rudely to customers.

In my opinion, the best iced coffee in Hoboken. Their Nutella muffins are also so good we ordered them twice this week. Unreal delicious.

Evan L.

Yelp
Food is pretty good - if you get it on time and the order is correct, which is never the case here. The staff is not engaged and doesn't care if they make a mistake. The past three times I've gone there have been issues. Most recently I went in to order the Hoboken (chicken salad sandwich) and I waited a half hour with my dog watching people that orered after me get their food. I finally said to the staff member, "what happened" and he gave the usual bs of oh the kitchen is backed up. Then he goes - you got the "x" which was NOT what I ordored. I told him that's not what I ordered and I can't wait any longer for my food. He didn't apologize or seem to care at all. Used to go a lot, but with so many options in Hoboken, you can choose which businesses deserve your money.

Joseph Z.

Yelp
Awesome sandwich. Really recommend the Parma panini which comes with a side salad. Only reason not to give it 5 stars was the bottle of water was a bit pricey, like $3.50 pricey.

Ordered delivery from ChowNow (more money for businesses than GunHub/Seamless/DoorDash). I ordered a Lobster tail, Sfogliatelle, Nutella Bomba, fried house made fresh mozzarella, house made meatballs, house made meat lasagna, iced coffee, and a latte with almond milk. Order arrived a little later than expected but we were ok with it bc everything was delicious!!! Love that they have their own label on the boxes. Meatballs arrive cold so heat them up. They are solid, light in weight, and hold together. Nice light herb flavor. And wow! The marinara is incredible!! Highly recommend!! And we got a large quantity, 6 meatballs, for $8.75. Excellent. We will definitely order them again!! They're a nice size too. The house made meat lasagna was also excellent! Perfect size for the two of us and decent amount of meat. Again, the sauce is so so so good! Cheese perfectly melted. Price is a little high at $16 for this item but it was so good we would order it again lol. Definitely worth it. The fried house made fresh mozzarella was delicious!! Perfectly salty and crunchy with great stretchy texture of fresh mozzarella. $8 is sooo worth it!! We would definitely order them again!!! So good!! Iced coffee is good. Latte with almond milk is okay; it has a nutty flavor of espresso. I don't mind it. Prices aren't bad for them. The lobster tail, sfogliatelle, and bombs are amazing!! So fresh and soft for bomba. Wish there was more of a Nutella filling lol but it's good. The lobster tail and Sfogliatelle are both made well and have perfectly crunchy outer layers and thick creamy citrus inside lobster tail. Chocolate inside sfogliatelle. All worth it!!! We will for sure be ordering again from Dolce & Solato!!! :)

From the outside, this place looks good. The desserts looked good but there was not many vegan/gluten free options to choose from. I also ordered a flat white which was terrible. Maybe the barista didn't know how to make it, but it did not taste good. We spent $20 on two drinks and 3 desserts - for the quality it was not worth it. Unfortunately, we won't be coming back.

Kimberly S.

Yelp
Food is good but a bit overpriced for the amount you get. They are still working out some kinks as our sandwich was incorrect but they apologized and made a fresh one along with some biscotti which made my husband very happy.

Jake S.

Yelp
Service has gone downhill ... I placed an order online with TOAST and they didn't even have it ready in time when I came to pick up the food 30 minutes past the time I was supposed to pick up. This is usually the case with food not being ready for pick up or they "accidentally forget" to make something which I why I come later than usual. But yet had to wait another 10 minutes for them to actually make just the plain lentil soup I ordered which was probably microwaved. The girl who was working today was also just casually eating cookies in the front and proceeding to touch other food. Not a good look for Dolce. Let's try this again another day. They just need to pay attention more and stop being so lax.

This is a great neighborhood staple that serves fresh and tasty food. I order the Cobb salad most days and it is always prepared fresh and is delicious. Sometimes I pop in for their perfect coffee and a biscotti treat. This week I took my mom there for a sit down lunch and she had the Cobb Salad and I tried their panini - chicken with fresh mozzarella, roasted peppers, and pesto...yummy! Both dishes were generous in size and presented nicely. They also have great outdoor seating with plenty of space with a large awning to escape the heat of the sun! The staff is friendly too but what I really love is that they have great hours. They always seem to be open when I need a place to eat out for lunch/breakfast - most places in hoboken are still only open for dinner!

Yelp
I LOVED my skim milk latte (it was perfect and I'd order it again even though normally I prefer flavored drinks) and the small cannoli was great! Good true ricotta flavor. I also like that they play normal pop music inside and that they have outdoor seating without service so it's casual. Also, free WiFi.

Yelp
Dolce & Salato has the most amazing pasties I've ever had! The donuts are incredibly fluffy and light, coated in sugar with a hint of lemon. What I love the most is that they do not skimp on any pastry filling. I've tried the lobster tails and chocolate croissants and both were stuffed with filling! I ordered their Parma sandwich for lunch today (takeout) and it was delicious! Fresh mozzarella and prosciutto on soft focaccia. The sandwich was larger than I expected. It came with a small side salad and overall the price was worth the meal. Staff was properly following COVID protocols and friendly the entire time. I felt safe and welcomed at this establishment.

Not only is the service here insanely slow for not the best food but the staff is weirdly unfriendly and act like they're annoyed that you're there

Had no idea this place existed until I drove by. It looks modern and clean. They have outdoor seating and some tables inside. I think it is a good place to get work done. You can have both breakfast and lunch here. They also have desserts if you are into that. I tried the quiche which was pre-sliced behind the counter. I guess they heat it up once you order. It was still pretty good. I also had the mediterrenea salad. Good portion and fresh ingredients. Delicious. My coworker tried the panini and enjoyed it as well. I would probably try the chicken salad on a croissant next time. It looked awesome. They also have a gelato stand in here if you are feeling crazy. I would 100% come back for either breakfast or lunch. Really cool place and a perfect alternative to starbucks or panera to get work done. It is a hidden gem for now.

I am glad we passed on living at the Rivington because I would go broke with this across the street. Instead of going every other day, I would be here every day. 5 stars for authenticity. It tastes like Italy and I am talking of real Italy, not an HBO version of it. I only started drinking coffee when my son was born and of course when I am in Italy. I cannot palate most coffee and their espressos / cappuccinos are the best. A nice blend of nuttiness and roasted aroma. The biscotti is perfect. The gelato once again tastes like you are in Italy (the chocolate is the best) and not like this other faux stuff that just tastes like a modified baskin robbins.

Bryan C.

Yelp
Place is gorgeous as has everything from faux marble looking walls to the hybrid italian Edison light bulbs. Have free WiFi and comfortable chairs for those looking to work. The mocha was good as was fried dough. Prices similar to Starbucks on these two items. They also have panini which are as mentioned by others on the pricey side more fancy manhattan than Hoboken. Do not have breakfast panini or ham and cheese croissant. Quiche available day I went was vegetable and would have gotten if had one with meat. Overall good place especially if do not want to trek down to Washington.

Jessica W.

Yelp
Came here for a quick latte during COVID, as I've been wanting to try this place since they opened. They have so many beautiful pastries, I ordered a rainbow cookie and 2 skim lattes to go. The rainbow cookies (7layers) were good and the lattes were delicious. The price point was reasonable. There is a decent amount of street parking on the block.

Gustavo F.

Yelp
Loved this place! It was very nice! Had a great modern vibe to it very clean and the staff is nice and look like they know what they are doing. They also have a nice assortment of pastries, wish I could have all of them. You can eat outside with nice furniture. I enjoy caramel machiatto, unfortunately they don't have carame syrup =[ lol had the cappuccino instead. Tip: Don't leave plates and utensils on the tables, they have a designated area for you to put away the dirty dishes. Do the right thing =]

David C.

Yelp
A classy new addition to uptown Hoboken. Great selection of classic pastries, paninis, coffee and gelato. It has an authentic Italy feel as the gelato flavors are only in Italian. I'm cool with that because it takes me back to my days in Florence and amazing gelato and cappuccinos. For gelato flavors We had the nocciola (hazelnut), fragola (strawberry), and vanilla - all were great. Also had the classic pignoli cookies SO GOOD! Unfortunately they need to step up there service speed. Otherwise this is a 4 or 5 star joint for sure!

Cindy H.

Yelp
Food and drinks are mediocre. Menu stated items are not delivered as described. The issue was bought to the owners attention, who was extremely rude & unapologetic. The Two stars are for the yummy pear in my salad. That's all. I will not be returning.

Hazel S.

Yelp
This place has a variety of baked goods. I always looove custard. Custard filled donut and croissant was good but the filling is not that satisfying. I had to save the custard as I was eating pastries because there just wasn't enough. Chocolate mousse cake was very well made and cannoli was not stale. Cannoli was pre filled but still crispy and fresh. Overall, I was happy with the quality.

T. G.

Yelp
Walked by this morning and decided to stop in, place was clean and had a lot of chairs for both indoor and outdoor seating. We tried the Nutella croissant, it was delicious. We are excited to try more things on the menu and are glad to see another local spot for food! They also had a lot of grab and go options and pre-made dinner meals and soup in the fridge. Welcome to the neighborhood!

Jasmine R.

Yelp
Great service, the two ladies were very polite and helpful. My flat white was delicious and the pastries were scrumptious.

Corneel R.

Yelp
Pretty new spot in Hoboken but I'm sure this is going to be a popular one. I had the calamari salad and it was really good. It's a nice portion, fresh ingredients and a very good taste. Afterwards I had a cappuccino with their torta de nona and it was delicious! Also a very friendly waitress!

Sebastian G.

Yelp
I really Lili the food and the pastries here. The avocado toast is to kill for. However service is TERRIBLE. If you go there at 5:30, the staff will mop your feet and you will have to bring down the chairs from above the tables. I don't understand what's the purpose of closing at 7 pm if you are not welcome after 5. This place lacks management oversight.

John K.

Yelp
Great food but orders often get delayed and take forever and you are just sitting around wasting your time waiting. Not a great experience- wish the owner would look into this as the food is good but the experience leaves you questioning if you should order from here or a bunch of other spots in hoboken. A shame really. Waited 90 minutes after 3 calls to the restaurant saying the driver is on the way for last 20 minutes i finally gave up and just asked for a refund. Not a great customer experience.

Danielle M.

Yelp
I want to love this place, but it's definitely pricey. The coffee is delicious and the atmosphere is lovely. Perfect to go with friends or loved ones to chat over coffee. They also have WiFi options. I've been here 2-3 times and once in awhile we share a pastry (Nutella Croissant) to have something. To me, it's a "once in awhile" kind of place. If you get me.

Shahid S.

Yelp
Our go to morning coffee, brunch spot. Always very good. Modern. Super Clean. Professional. Delicious pastries. Fresh home made, quick, grab and go healthy food options. Just a great neighborhood spot. Never a complaint.

Katelyn C.

Yelp
Love this place! Most of the Italian bakeries I've been to have huge stacks of pastries that look incredible but are very often stale. I think Dolce keeps their batches small because EVERY pastry is the perfect texture and taste. This will be my go-to when I'm bringing Italian pastries back to my family. Highly recommend!

Wesley S.

Yelp
Good sauce and pasta - bad desserts, cookies and pastries - go to Giorgio up the street on Washington if you want good pastries - they are by far the best in the tri state area

Lauren T.

Yelp
Dolce & Salato is the best authentic Italian cafe in Hoboken. I always go for lunch with my boyfriend, and sometimes we bring the dog, and we've got everything from the chicken salad sandwich which is my personal favorite, to the Italian panini with assorted cured meats, fresh mozz on a crisp focaccia bread. Everything is always amazingly delicious, and it's the one place I like to order the specials from because they are always so tastey. For the holidays I always get a box of assorted pastries and they are my family's favorite not only because the pastries are fresh but they come in small sizes so you can have a taste of everything.

Quiana W.

Yelp
Such a cute Italian bakery. I like that the location is off the beaten path. It makes it more quaint. It's very nice inside. I got a cappuccino and some pastries. I had the ricotta cheesecake and picked up some donuts and Tiramisu. I tasted all of them and they were so tasty. The pastries are really good. I definitely want to go back and try the food menu. I noticed they had somethings that sounded good on the menu. Can't wait to go back.

The Man G.

Yelp
Located in what's a restaurant desert of Hoboken. Got a panini (which came with a side salad). I'll admit it was tasty and more filling then I thought it would have been, but little pricey for a panini and a side of salad. I'd go back if I was passing by, but probably wouldn't make a special trip there. I'd also be open to trying some other items but again little pricey.

Andreas K.

Yelp
I really enjoyed my lunch here. Fried calamari and my friend had eggplant parm. Not complicated dishes but so many places get them wrong. The store is also very nice. I especially love the pastries and the Easter items. If you have spent time in Italy you understand what they are bringing here - a coffee/pastry shop combined with a good lunch spot. Common there, not so much here. Well done. Buona Pasqua.

Jerry L.

Yelp
Amazing cafe uptown with a variety of options. I am thrilled that there is something for the folks uptown by 11th and Grand (near shoprite) where they can grab a nice bite before hitting their next destination. They are open from Mon-Fri 7AM-7PM, Sat 8-7PM, Sunday 8-6PM. They also are collaborating with Palazzone 1960 which is one of my favorites in north jersey and it's worth checking out if you ever are near the willow brook mall. Makes you feel like they brought Italy to you. Check out their daily menu they sometimes have salmon to calamari. It's pricey but worth spending money on quality dishes.

Felicia N.

Yelp
Great addition to the uptown area! The owner is very friendly and I had great service both times that I visited in the past week. I didn't get to try the gelato so I guess I'll have to go back soon! The fried tortelloni is amazing, great marinara sauce on the side! My Macchiato took me back to Italy. I went with a bunch of Mom friends and we tried a bunch of small pastries, they were all delicious! Also as a bunch of moms with crazy babies around the age of one they were very accommodating. I love that they have buzzers to collect your food when it's ready as it can get quite busy. I will definitely be back again and again!

Katharine M.

Yelp
This is my place to go to for coffee and breakfast every weekend. The coffee is delicious and their bakery is fresh. I recommend the vanilla bombolone. The staff is friendly and helpful. The place is beautifully decorated. It reminds me of modern European bakeries (I'm from Madrid). I also love the outside space.

Alex B.

Yelp
Came here to get a quick coffee drink and was incredibly impressed!! I order the Pisa and my fiance ordered the capri - both amazing. The pastries look amazing as does the small assortment of homemade soups they have available for purchase. The only think that threw me a but off was the very modern decor, as the drinks call for a bit cozier vibe. I will definitely be back.

Laura C.

Yelp
Love this new addition to Uptown! I live right around the corner, so I'm always happy to find new restaurants popping up nearby and on less busy streets than Washington. Hoboken has a lot of Italian restaurants, but I really think Dolce and Salato fills a gap. It's a fast-casual place and had an amazing selection of Italian paninis and salads and other lunch options. It also has lots of coffee and dessert options. I believe it closes before I typically get home from work, otherwise I'd go there for dinner often.

Doug S.

Yelp
First time here we grabbed pastries to go (spent only $30-ish for 8 pieces and some were big enough to cut in half), and second time we got lunch and sat outside. Cannoli cream is great, tiramusi is solid, pastries are overall very good. St. Joseph's zeppoli with cannoli filling is my recommendation. Also had a huge fresh salad, a delicious rice ball stuffed with two kinds of cheese, and a sandwich on a baguette. The food is very good and the staff is really friendly. My new go-to spot uptown to sit outside off the beaten path or grab dessert.
