About Dolce Coffee.
Dolce Coffee on Essex Road is a proper neighbourhood café where regulars stop by every morning and locals know chef Leo by name. Expect generous portions and straightforward classics — the veggie lasagne wins raves, as does the pesto panini that arrives with three surprise salads on the side. The fresh salad display draws people in from the pavement, and breakfast runs from simple bacon sandwiches to build-your-own fry-ups with perfectly cooked eggs and rich hollandaise. Highchairs and outdoor seating are available. "I could die happy after the stupendous veggie lasagna I just had," one reviewer writes. The sunny patio is a suntrap, and with jacket potatoes, paninis, and coffee all hitting the spot without breaking the bank, it's become a go-to for quick, tasty lunches in the area.
