Dolce — Restaurant in Starkville

Dolce is dangerously good. Like, “oops I blacked out and bought three desserts” good. The cheesecake is perfect, and there’s such a large selection of gelato (#bringbacksaltedcaramel). I don’t even like sweets that much and somehow I keep ending up here. Also, if you see a guy running around like he’s in five places at once — that’s Robbie the boss man. Legend says he doesn’t sleep, just powers down for 30 mins like a Roomba. Extremely helpful, staff is always on point, and one of the best places in stark to settle down to do homework and actually enjoy studying.

Anyway, 10/10 recommend if you want to treat yourself or accidentally eat dessert for dinner. No...

Dolce has the market cornered on gelato, being the only place that serves it within any reasonable driving distance. However, that hasn't made the owners lazy. It is a carefully thought out corner shop that makes good use of the limited space. The flavors they serve are unique and refreshing, with odd ones like Honey & Goat Cheese (which admittedly I loved because I'm weird). The prices are good and the atmosphere, while not entirely cozy, is quaint and relaxing. Overall, the design is not perfect but well thought out all the same, it is well priced and unique, and well worth a stop on a summer...

I’ll be as honest as I can be. Starkville is so lucky to have a place like Dolce, and I want it to succeed and stay for years to come. But the staff is ALWAYS DROWNING. There’s no excuse for making customers wait 30 minutes for a bagel other than being short staffed. We love the food and want to support small businesses, but there is always an insane amount of time to wait— even if it’s called in way ahead of time. Hopefully the owners will see it’s a huge issue and something...
