20070524_dolcegelato3.jpgThis hot and humid weather calls for drastic measures. Looking for a way to cool down I recently headed over to Dolce Gelato on College. The relatively new gelateria was doing brisk business. Customers of all shapes and sizes were lounging out front while others gathered around the tables indoors savouring the last taste of gelato flavours that range from mango to tiramisu.

20070524_dolcegelato2.jpgWhile tempted to relive my youth with a scoop of the bubble gum, I ultimately opted for a cup with a scoop of passion fruit and a scoop of wild berry. Both were great. And just like most ice cream stores they let you taste as many flavours as you want before you make your final selection.

For immediate consumption, gelato is served in three cup sizes or two cone varities. Prices average in the $3-5 range. They also offer larger tubs for those looking to fill in some freezer space.

bunch of cakers, go to sicilian and not this tacky knock off

tik, you have no idea what you're talking about - you sound like the biggest caker of all by saying something so ignorant. Sicilian has been around for ages and the quality of their product is downright awful compared to Dolce.

The Dolce people have years of experience working at another stellar gelato place and now they're doing it on their own. And they're doing a kick-ass job - the flavours are many and completely awesome. Very fresh and delicious.

I worked as a gelatieri for 4 years and have personally worked with the Dolce people even before they started their own business on College.

From a professional POV, I like their gelato and its flavour. Top notch.

Highly recommended.

If you want to try the best gelato ever, make the drive to Hamilton (Limeridge Mall) and try Vici Gelateria & Cafe. Its the most outstanding gelato you will ever taste! They have a fantastic espresso bar as well.

Cakers!!!! at least we know quality gelato, no disrespect to Sicilian but Dolce is far superior.

Excellent photography on the images, especially with the Tiramisu. Do they make their gelato in house?

Yep. They make all their own gelato.

Good gelato. One girl was really uptight when it came to ordering. I felt sorry for the poor staff who had to work with her and I like to take my time before I order, but the food was yummy.
