Stopped by this bakery and café, and I was pleasantly surprised! The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, making it a great place to grab a coffee and relax. I tried a couple of their pastries, and they did not disappoint. The service was friendly, and everything was well-presented. Whether you’re looking for a quick bite or a nice place to sit and enjoy a treat, this spot is definitely worth checking out. I’ll be back for more!

The atmosphere was vibrant, and the staff was truly exceptional. This cozy spot is perfect for enjoying dessert or a sweet treat alongside a cup of coffee. A big thank you to the team for their hard work and dedication!

Dulce has the BEST espresso in Soda City! The owner/ manager and staff are always pleasant and attentive. The sweet treats are exceptional! Today, I tried the Greek salad for the first time 10/10 would recommend. I ordered it without feta cheese, as I can’t process dairy. Overall, I come here often just for the peaceful jazz and they even have an outdoor patio!

Very cute bakery with a variety of desserts, from cupcakes, cookies, brownies, cakes, cheesecakes, croissants, and bars. I ordered the key lime pie bar, which was a pleasant balance of sweetness and tartness. I tried their peanut butter chocolate cupcake that someone with me had ordered and it had a nice crumb, while the peanut butter icing was smooth and creamy. While there was seating available inside, the weather was nice and we chose to sit outside where there are partially shaded tables at the back of the establishment. Overall, we spent a pleasant part of our evening at this gem in Columbia for a perfect after dinner treat!

On a Saturday night in the Vista, this place felt like a nice little private spot to get a great dessert and coffee. I had the cheesecake brownie (cheesecake with brownie in it, not the brownie cheesecake, which is a brownie) and it was delicious. Service was warm and friendly and my wife and I just enjoyed sitting at a quiet table while eating the cheesecake.

I had the pecan red velvet and the carrot cake, and I honestly wish I had bought more 😔both had the perfect texture and flavor. The interior is super cute and has a calm, chill vibe that’s great for getting some work done. The staff was also really helpful and welcoming. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to!

I chose the white chocolate pistachio cheesecake. I did not taste much of either but the cheesecake itself was delicious. I would like to try another dessert at some point. They are on the pricey side, but again the cheesecake was delicious.

Stopped in for a gluten-free snack and was happy to find multiple options available. Cupcakes as well as cookies. I do not live in Colombia, but I will be sure to visit each time. I’m in town. The girls inside were very nice as well.

My boyfriend and I stopped here to grab coffees. The store is so cute! Very clean. The service was amazing. And better, the drinks were so good! I had the butterfly tea, which was so unique and matched the description on the menu well. My boyfriend had a caramel coffee, which he also really enjoyed. I would highly recommend visiting!
