Dolce Spazio Gelato

My husband and I came here to pay a visit for their gelato and espresso hot drinks to go along with it. They have pretty good choices of flavors to pick and a very friendly staff. My husband ordered the Amaretto Almond and Espresso flavors (Due). As for me, the Holy Cannoli and Cappuccino Chips (Due). We’re supposed to get 2 Single espresso shots when we try to order again for the second time. The staff made a mistake and gave us Uno gelato with espresso flavor instead of the coffee --- single shot espresso. In the end, we decided not to make another attempt. As for the gelato, we must say that this is, so far, the best gelato we’ve had from different gelato shops we’ve been to. However, I must say the flavors weren’t strong or bold. For example, in the Cappuccino and Espresso, you can’t taste much of the strength of the flavor itself. Same for the Holy Cannoli, though what we love about their gelato is that it’s not sweet, and you can taste the milk's creaminess. We found their gelato's stretchy style or texture interesting; I'm not sure what they add to make their gelato like that. As for the coffee itself, we found its boldness and strength lacking. Given that it’s Italian gelato, we had a bit high expectations—you think they must serve great boldness and a kick of the coffee flavor. Overall, we’re pleased. We're happy to visit again for different flavors, perhaps skipping the hot coffee drinks next time.

I had a 'Due' of pumpkin and Oh Snap (ginger cookies). The two flavors were perfect together. I didn't want to finish. This coyly be the very BEST gelato I have ever had!!

Look, maybe my expectations were out of whack because I assumed the Italian name meant a certain kind of ice cream but I really disliked their ice cream. Flavor was good but the mouth feel was awful, I didn't even know ice cream could be stringy, it's just too thick and rich and overly sweet. Not a great ice cream, rounded by the worst espresso I've ever had. Hard pass.

Super helpful and friendly staff👍 Gelato 😋😋😋 Nice private seating in the back. Very quiet and peaceful. If you are undecided on flavors, they can do a half and half mix of different flavors so you can taste them both.

Very nice and tasty. We took honey lavender gelato and it’s yummy.

This place is amazing! As an avid coffee ice cream lover, the nut/coffee based gelatos are delicious. Located in a very quaint neighborhood with nice outdoor seating, it’s a great place to stop by in the afternoon. The staff is very generous with samples of the different flavors, and is very generous with the portions of the purchased ice cream as well.

First time here and tried the Oreo Joe, I was blown away by how good it was! Definitely look forward to coming back. In addition to Gelato, they have smoothie and coffee options. Limited seating inside.

Love their Gelato! There's patio seating at the back. Lovely ambience. When I was there. I can hear live music from next door.

What a fun place to get gelato, sorbet and desserts. Plus, things like shakes and coffee (with lots of options hot and cold)! It's a small place, but very comfortable. There was a huge party there, when we visited. Might have a lot of little table usually (so not sure). Then they bar stools with a counter just as you enter the right. I think they had outdoor seating, but it was so cold!! We went on a Saturday evening, so quite a few people in front of us. We were happy, because we could browse the menu. We tried sorbets, desserts were to go! When we visited - they get the desserts from another local business. This may not always be the case, as they've made them in-house in the past. All were delicious!! I had a mixed fruit sorbet (raspberry, peach, pear...?!) that was divine! Tried their Strawberry Champagne sorbetto - which was delicious, but light strawberry!! I like a robust strawberry personally. I have not received a report on the desserts, but I know the local business and they are the very best :)! Even if they weren't enjoyed until the next day. Harder parts of Los Gatos to park, but you can find something in one of those surrounding lots. Be careful driving down the street this is on - remember our pedestrians have the right of way! Feeling like you need a dessert fix?! Look no further than Dolce Spazio, when you're in town! Enjoy!!

Gelato was excellent and so is their coffee and server behind the counter. I just have one question for the owner: Is not this place required to provide a bathroom for your customers? If not required , shouldn't you have visible sign that bathroom is not available ? Thanks

After getting hot tea here a few times, we finally got to try their gelato. I am a huge fan of their Strawberry Champagne gelato as it is refreshingly sweet (without being too sweet) with that tinge of alcohol-flavor. We happened to get the Oreo gelato on the side, which unexpectedly and surprisingly went well with the Strawberry Champagne gelato. Service is always friendly when we stop by. I think we found a staple dessert/tea spot!

I hadn't been to Dolce Spazio in years. It definitely looked the same inside, lots of delicious gelato options and beverages. I appreciate now they have a lot of outdoor seating - maybe a post covid thing? The service was friendly and fast. We walked in and got our gelato and sat outside. What's not to like? It wasn't very busy in the afternoon on a weekend.

Pros: - Conveniently located in the middle of downtown which makes it an easy place to go after dinner - Mom & Pop shop that has been around forever, so they know their stuff. Priced fairly in the market for gelato. They also have a coffee bar! - Service is great. You can sample the gelatos before actually committing to a favor and there's at least 2-3 people working which makes any lines go fast Cons: - Limited seating so would need to be considered if you have a big party - Constantly changing flavors which is good to be able to try new flavors but might be missed if there's a particular favorite Overall, this place has a great vibe and environment and would recommend to anyone who wants a great gelato joint.

I must declare this is one of those rare occasions that I actually eat gelato or just about anything of a very high price. I was returning back to Los Gatos for a trip back to where I lived in community college and realized it has changed. I must say for a very good price I got some really cool flavors that I don't usually find in my run of the mill shop. I got the Oh Snap and it was like no other thing I ever tasted. The other one was a strawberry champagne flavor. Never tried that one either. The staff here was very nice, I can tell she was patient with me. Must be a native Los Gatosan. They ever threw in this weird biscuit thingy and it was the perfect addition to any ice cream. There are plenty of seats to eat your ice cream but it's better to take it to go. Will come back again if I can.

I got a single scoop of the oreogasm and it was pretty good! I'd say that it was a little too sweet for my taste but there was a lot of oreo in it and tasty overall!

This gelato spot is a staple in downtown Los Gatos. Despite being pretty pricey, the quality of gelato is very good, I particularly like their espresso flavored ones, such as the one with chocolate chips in it. The texture is super smooth and creamy, and has a nice denseness. There is sometimes a line but it moves pretty fast, and they let people sample flavors. There is limited seating inside but you can usually find a spot outside.

We come here often especially if dinner at Golden Triangle was too spicey ... Lol Kids love: Oreogasmic and I either get Mentaint or the Coffee flavored one. It's a tiny cramped place; at times it's actually not so (ahem) clean (-1 star) They always have multiple staff behind the counter so the line move quickly; unless it's the peak of summer or weekends then this place is packed and overflowing (more than 15-30min wait). They also make drinks and have other option of foods (cakes, cookies etc). Their location is great, but its mainly street parking.

Their gelato is absolutely delicious, I tried a sip of my friend's chai espresso bar, and it was a delightful blend of spices and caffeine. However, during peak hours, the staff seemed a bit overwhelmed by the long lines, which affected the overall service experience. Despite this, the cozy ambiance of the cafe added to the charm of the place, making it a lovely spot to indulge in some sweet treats. Plus, the reasonable prices ensure you get good value for your money. Just be prepared for the crowds, especially during dinner or nighttime.

Nice selection of gelato. Friendly service too in this pleasant town to stroll around.

Good gelato. I sampled a few flavors and ended up with a sorbetto due to the heat. Mango raspberry sorbetto and strawberry champagne were lghter and had great flavor. Basically no wait when we went and I would return but not go out of my way either. Kind of pricy but then again everything is pricy these days but the portion they give is proportional to the price.

Sweetest staff and delicious desserts! Detailed breakdown below: **Service, 5/5** Such sweet and friendly staff! Definitely made my evening. **Price & portion, 5/5** Worth it for some top notch sweets and drinks. **Presentation of the food, 5/5** I got a 16 oz hot mocha and while I expected it to come in a to go cup, it came in a big glass piled high with housemade whipped cream and shaved chocolate. Gorgeous! **Taste of the food, 5/5** Probably the best mocha I've had. The sweet whipped cream topped every sip and melted into the drink and it was so decadent. I was just here yesterday and I'm craving it again!

SO... YUMMY! I'm salivating right now just thinking about the oreogasmic gelato. Oreogasmic gelato- 5/5 creamy and rich with the perfect amount of Oreo streaks laced through. Also tasted Oreo cookie chunks every other bite Normally don't get cookies and cream flavored anything but this gelato shop just changed the game. Flavors rotate every other week with a few kept as classics like the oreogasmic. There's a seating area inside and outside the shop. Overall, good service, delicious gelato and waffle cone, and fun area to explore. Located in downtown Los Gatos with lots of shops, restaurants, and bars-- very family friendly. Can park on street or in the spacious parking lots behind shops like Lululemon!

Very creamy gelato! One of the better gelatos (gelati?) I've had recently. It was very dense and sticky to the point that it was a bit hard to scoop. Ordered a trio ($7.25) where it was three flavors in a cup, which was honestly a decent amount for 2 people. We tried almond amaretto, oreogasmic, and strawberries and cream. All were tasty! I was especially a fan of the almond flavor - it was both NUTTY and crEAmY. Oreogasmic was vanilla bean gelato with Oreo chunks mixed in - not bad as well but did not stand out as much as the other flavors. Strawberries and cream was a perfect blend of fruity and cream. Service was really nice - the server was patient with me as I tried different flavors. Ambiance was not bad, but it was a bit crammed lining up for the ice cream. There's a nice back area with some small round tables, emulating eating ice cream on the streets of Italy.

This cute little gelato shop is nestled in the middle of Downtown Los Gatos with such yummy gelato flavors as well as a few drinks to choose from! I always bring friends here and they have started to bring their own friends because how much they liked it! They have lots of tables inside and a tiny little back patio where you can bask in the sun on a nice day while enjoying your dessert. Everything I've ever gotten has been so good, you really can't go wrong with an order.. Also, try their whipped cream, it is out of this world!!!

Can't go wrong with this place! I love their gelato: it's super sweet and creamy. I tend to try a new flavor every time I go and so far nothing has let me down. I also appreciate that they have a selection of hot drinks for those cold days (plus their drinks come with in-house made whipped cream! It's delicious and sweet, I could easily eat a cup full of it). Unfortunately, there's not a lot of seating available so keep that in mind if you're coming with a big group!

The gelato here is so good, it reminds me of being in Rome by the fountains. Good memories! No line today, sampled my choice and was off to check out. Way better than wine tasting ... lol. They have tables inside, outside and options everywhere you look down the street. Wonderful option for dessert. Highly recommended.

At night when I have the urge for some sweet ( but not to sweet) , I will always count on Dolce. 1) Great service: the staff are funny, full of energy and great vibes . 2) Selection: Lots of great selection to help satisfy your craving. And they open late 3) Pricing: the pricing is very competitive compare to other places. Especially in Los Gato. 4) Quality: love the quality and the taste is awesome and delicious. Go give it a try. Go Foodie

*First time review, ordered inside* My friend and I were walking around downtown Los Gatos this evening and wanted something sweet. We came across Dolce Spazio and decided to give it a shot! They have 3 sizes and all reasonably priced for gelato. Small was $6.50 if I recall and it's a pretty big cup! The staff were friendly and quick. I got the very last bit of the mint chip. The taste is honestly insane. Super rich flavor and had lots of chocolate chips! Sometimes when I get gelato elsewhere, there is hardly any toppings but not at Dolce Spazio! The menu has many flavors and the store is kind of retro vibes inside. I would have had my gelato inside if it wasn't packed.

Very nice and cozy place to get a coffee or ice cream. Very friendly and nice personal. I love their ice creams! :)

It's a small shop with only a few tables for dining in, so sometimes you might have to just take a stroll through DTLG and eat your gelato. We did street parking and didn't have any trouble on a Tuesday evening, but I imagine weekends would be worse. I did a double scoop of Giuseppe's Zabaglione, which is their italian custard with biscotti bits. I took a star off because I felt like the flavor I chose was just okay. It tasted like vanilla ice cream with cookie bits, but it didn't have the buttery/caramel-y taste you would expect from biscotti biscuits. I was a little disappointed. The texture of the gelato itself was very good-- soft and velvety. It's everything I could want when getting gelato, but I just wasn't a fan of the flavor I got. I also took another star off for service. The girl who helped us haphazardly scooped it into the cup and gave it to me with gelato just dripping all over the sides of the cup. My fiancé had to help me clean it up while we were at the register to pay bc it was just getting everywhere. It seemed like she had a friend who was hanging out in the shop, and was just trying to get back to chatting with them bc as soon as she was done with us, she called them over to the side of the register so they could chat. Overall, maybe we'll give this spot another chance if we happen to be in the area, but it's not at the top of my list.

popular downtown los gatos location...seems like most are here for the gelato...cafe carries coffee drinks, smoothies, cakes, cookies and more...placing an order for a double scoop in a waffle cone...vanilla and chocolate coming out to $9.25...a cup of gelato $8.25...about $22 total after tip for 2 gelato orders...the quality of the gelato is excellent and tasty, but messy...the gelato stretches out like melting mozzarella cheese...small seating area with few tables in the back outdoor patio...restroom inside the neighboring restaurant...gelato is dense and stretchy...hard to scoop without creating a long strand of gelato...

People assume that I love coffee flavored gelato because I drink a lot of coffee. I've never had a cup of coffee for the taste, that's why I don't understand the concept of decaf coffee. It's like having a non-alcoholic vodka shot...what's the point. I drink coffee in the morning because I need it. The same way I need advil when I have a headache. I've never thought about getting advil flavored gelato. I'm sure a smoker wouldn't want tobacco flavored gelato...unless it actually had nicotine in it. Anyway, I ended up getting Oreo flavor, it was delicious.

I stumbled on this place because it was right next to Rootstock the wine bar, so after wine and cheese this was the perfect place for dessert. I got a mocha freeze which comes with: iced espresso and coffee syrup, blended with milk, chocolate liquer, gelato, and ice. I asked for them to use cookie butter gelato for my freeze. Omg if this wasn't one of the best things I've ever tasted. The coffee flavors were so delicious, it was smooth, it was sweet, it was creamy, and I couldn't stop drinking it. The cookie butter gelato was a nice flavor combo added to the coffee and chocolate in it. It seriously was all the best things inside. The staff were nice, they answered questions about the desserts out, let me taste a few gelatos, and made my drink really fast. My drinking was like the best thing ever and I will return the next time I'm in the area.

Walking through downtown Los Gatos and had to stop in to see what sweets could tempt me. I wanted to try everything but moderated myself. They had a nice friendly setting, a few tables, low lighting, great place for a quick date or small get together. They have cakes, coffee, fruit bars, and gelato (probably more than that too). I got a "due" size gelato, half cookies and cream, half amaretto almond i think. Was really glad to come by here, will definitely come back to try more.

We wanted to avoid being in a food coma after having lunch next door, so we stopped by Dolce Spazio Gelato. We ordered a cappuccino, mocha and a lemon bar. Wow, I was really impressed with the mocha! It was really delicious. Best I've ever had in a long time. We'll definitely come back to try the Gelato.

Love at first taste! This place is awesome! Last night, i finiished a third date here with an adorable guy who i have developed a little crush on. Perfect date night venue, because ...love and gelato. On the first date I got to show off my town of Burlingame in all of her chatming Summer glory. I told Him that i love exploring new walkable, downtown areas. Christopher(smart man) took notes The air smelled of blioming Magnolia as i walked him to hos car for our first kiss on the rooftop of the library garage. Our amazing 2nd date was at the newly renovated and spectacular Guild Theatre to hear my favorite local "dad band " open up for the Spin Doctors. We danced all night to 90s songs in the "mosh pit" and he rose to the stressful occasion of meeting and charming my sister and a lot of my friends. This date was his to plan. First up, bowling in San Jose followed by a stroll down Santa Cruz Avenue in nearby Los Gatos. I loved all the wine bars amd bistros lining the quaint street with outdoor patios and twinkle ligjts. The vibe of this area was very unique, historical and authentic with boutiques and vintage consignment shops and live music playing from the outdoor patio of a restaurant.My date mentioned a gelato place and my face lit up. The line was long ( promising) but time flew by as we peppered each orher with getting to know you questions. Everyone was so happy to be out and about on a Saturdsy night at 10:30 pm. The young servers were having fun working and were friendly and efficient. My date got his Oreogasmic duo right away. My uno Raspberry Mango was taking a while... my date looked at me quizzically and I motioned to my server and broke out into giggles as I realized that the adorable C/Katherine was focused on the task of fashioning my scoop into the shape of a rose. Some of her co- workers were laughing at/with her as she painstakingly created my petals Huge shoutout to the beautiful C/Katherine- who knows how to make her customers feel special. We took our igelato ( Christipher's ordinary scoop amd my spectacular sour/ sweet, orange/ pink rose to an outsoor table. The patio here was large and crowded but we managed to find a perfect table for two and gave each other bites. Mine was the best of course, looking and tasting like ripe fruit, and the emblematic symbol of a perfect Summer night. I like this guy! I LOVED my gelato rose! Get the Raspberry Mango sobetto and if you are lucky enough to get C/Katherine as your server, ask her to make a gelato rose just for you!

My new favorite gelato place! Found this small shop walking in downtown and was so happy with the quality of the gelato here. The flavors are on point and the texture is perfectly creamy, stretchy and smooth. The staff are also very friendly and scoop huge portions for the price! I've tried quite a few flavors now and my favorites are honey lavender, choco chip cookie dough, and horchata! Definitely give this place a try

Always love coming here for some gelato. I have yet to try other pastries but you can never go wrong with getting gelato here. I got a due (2 scoops) of mango & passion fruit sorbet and strawberries & cream. Sampled a few flavors but those were definitely my favorites. Mango & passion fruit sorbet was very light and refreshing and strawberries & cream was perfectly creamy and delicious. 100% recommend this shop if you're craving some dessert!

We wandered upon this place while waiting for a table at Golden Triangle on a Sunday dinner time around 6pm. Flavors aren't unique, but still good. Chocolate, strawberry, Oreogasmic, hazelnut, strawberry champagne . Service was fast. They let you sample too.

Oh man! This place had a like down the block last night and my friend and I were walking by as we got brunch Take Out from Los Gatos Cafe (Oh man- that place is amazing as well). There wasn't a line here, so we went into the store! Hee My friend and I didn't know they also had DESSERTS and espresso on TOP of gelato! Ohhhhh man! That Strawberry Champagne gelato was PERFECT for this MELTING HOT Spring day with its 90° weather! Hee The Carrot Cake was the BEST I've ever had!!! Sooooo moist and tasty! Ohhhh man! We overloaded ourselves with sugar! It was AMAZING! Hahaha

We were walking around the main street when we came across Dolce Spazio, to my surprise I had already bookmarked it here on Yelp! We each got 2 scoops of 4 different flavors and they were so good!! It's a small little shop but has tables outside in the front and back. It was nice to see the Manager so a walk around to clean off tables and make sure each table had at least 2 chairs pulled up to it. It stayed busy which was nice to see because all the guys working inside were so friendly. We went for the gelato, but I definitely wanted to try the baked goods and coffee!

If you're interested in gelato, then this is the place to go. They have lots of flavors, and all of them are good. I particularly like the strawberry. Along with that, all the kids who work there are friendly and helpful.

Top 3 of all I've cream shops in the Bay Area! Perfect location, perfect ice cream, perfect customer service. It never seems to let me down. Go here if you are in Los Gatos, it will fix your sweet tooth for sure.

It is such a cute place perfect place to dig some ice cream after somewhat horrible meal if you might have around the town. I tried the thai place down the street and it was pretty danm awful felt sour after all. But I came here and chill I felt really good. The size of the gelato is amazing they even let you choose two or more flavors depend on the size. I tried the hazelnut chocolate one delicious~~~ Birthday pop was pretty dry and bad tho. Not recommended.

Was in downtown for something else and decided to walk around and try this place. Neat little place on a Main Street in Los Gatos. Neat and clean. Big signs to order from. Decided to try chocolate liquor gelato, strawberry champagne sorbetto and a piece of banana cake. Service was friendly and fast. Actually got the banana cake suggestion from the cashier. Chocolate was nicely full of a deep chocolate flavor without being overly sweet. Very thick. Didn't melt that easy either. Strawberry was ok, little sour, not that strong of a champagne flavor. Pretty normal. Lastly was the cake. Very nice banana flavor, light, not overly strong, same for the icing. I'm not one for super-sweet stuff, so all the items suited me. Winner of the 3 items was the chocolate liquor, followed closely by the banana cake and a distant 3rd was the strawberry champagne. On way out tried a sample of both the chocolate orange and the Irish cream. Both of those were comparable in quality/flavor of the chocolate liquor. Will be back again when back in Los Gatos.

Fun and simple dessert for families or anyone after a date night in downtown Los Gatos. Keep in mind that the place is being staffed with younger individuals, but that doesn't stop them from providing great service and serving up some honest thoughts on their products! Highly recommend and I stop here with my wife every time we can!

Ended up trying this ice cream place when in the Los Gatos area and it was great! This place is located in downtown so pretty convenient in the area. This was a cute job and once we got to the front I ended up trying the honey lavender and chocolate orange flavor which were both pretty good. We ended up getting the Oreogasmic ice cream which was delicious. It was a cookies and cream kind of flavor but Really creamy which I loved! Would try more flavors next time!

this would be a great spot to take a date it's got a very chill vibe and some of the dessert names are kind of funny.

Best gelato on the planet and I mean yes the planet. I appreciate the sticky consistency which other gelatos do not have, and some of the unique flavors that they come out from time to time.

One of the first local places to serve a legit espresso, this adorable little café has been luring dessert lovers with their house-made gelato, sorbetto and various baked goods since 1980 and is our new favorite spot to get ice creams. 'Rona™ Update: -No entry into the store as they have a booth setup right at the door, which makes it hard to see the flavors they have available until you get right to ordering. Note to owner: please add a menu on the windows. -6' separation in-line -Employees displaying the proper PPE. -Outside seating to enjoy our ice creams What's Good: -Gelato! They don't have a ton of flavors, but that's OK because what they have is great. - Friendly customer service by a very young staff. -Prices are fairly reasonable for homemade ice cream in an upscale location.

The oreogasmic is the best gelato ever !!! Cute place to enjoy ice cream and a coffee with friends.

Favorite gelato place that I've been going to for over a decade! Dolce Spazio is located at the northern end of downtown Los Gatos, closer to Highway 9. There a good amount of parking out front, in the back or on the side streets. The gelato flavors are all delicious. My every day favorites are Cappuccino Chip and Oreogasmic. I typically get both in an Uno or Due cup. Sometimes they have Oreo Joe, which is a mixture of Cappuccino Chip and Oreogasmic and this is my all-time favorite flavor. They don't have it very often, but when they have it, I make sure to stock up. If you like baked goods, their cakes are all fabulous. I think they get them from another local bakery. The carrot cake is some of the best carrot cake that you'll ever have. If you like coffee drinks, their espresso drinks are great as well. Or I highly recommend the hot chocolate because the whipped cream is to die for. I ask for extra because it's so good. A must-go in Los Gatos!

The mint chocolate chip gelato is good. Got a medium to share and it's a generous amount. The 3 stars is for the 3 tiered chocolate cake. The icing was super sweet that we couldn't enjoy eating it. You could get a tooth ache eating that! $8 per slice that we couldn't really enjoy.

Dropped by after dinner for some gelato. They have a menu board with flavors. But also look at the freezer display with the tags. Cause I definitely saw flavors there that didn't make it to the board. Also they allow samples! It's been so long, during the covid times, since I've been to an ice cream/gelato place that allows samples. I tried and got the POG sorbet. I love the island flavors of POG - passion, orange, guava. It was very refreshing and light and tasted very close to POG. They also put a triangle wafer cookie in every cup. I got a small and it was a lot of bigger than I expected. I did wish they had a smaller, like kids size. I also tried the hubby's vanilla bean and it was very vanilla-y. He did complain it was melty and almost more like a soft serve. A small is about $6 so I guess that makes sense the portion was larger. Saw lots of yummy flavors so I will be back.

By far our fav gelato/ice cream shop EVER (yes, ever). Oreogasmic is the best cookies and cream flavor to ever exist. In the summers the line is usually out the door but they move quickly and its so so worth the wait!

I got take out from here. We went fairly late in the evening, post 9. I really appreciate that this place was open. However, a lot of the flavors had run out. I ended up getting the tiramisu which wasn't my first 2 choices. This was in the sundae. It was supremely delicious. I could not stop eating it. It really was one of the best sundaes I've had in a long time. The almonds made for a great addition, and the chocolate sauce was just perfect. Will definitely go back here, next time in person hopefully!

The cookies n cream ice cream had more of a vanilla ice cream and chocolate cake texture to it rather than mashed up Oreos. Also ice cream flavors were limited but they did have a good selection of sorbets. If you happen to make a visit their affogato, espresso shot with vanilla ice cream was a nice treat.
