    When you first walk in you are walking into a time capsules with fine coffee and yummy food. I am a vegetarian and was made the most bomb burrito I have had in a minute. and huge and not to mention it was affordable. I’ll let you in on a secret the back room is hidden and has the most beautiful painted art see if you can find the owl while you visit this joint for a bite to eat, live music or a coffee date.

    Very nice and cozy atmosphere. Not one of those noisy places. Really enjoyed spending 15 minutes there for a quick breakfast: espresso and biscotti…delicious…the espresso is a real Italian espresso. Got their banana bread. Really good. I’ll definitely go back to visit and I would recommend.

    A friend recommended this place and it was a delightful experience. The minute I stepped in, I felt at home. The atmosphere is cozy and people are happily chatting with each other. The owner heard which latte it was that I was craving, and raised the bar, making a perfect brown sugar oat milk latte. They roast their own coffee - so quality is guaranteed. All the baked goods looked delicious and I have heard that the entire menu is awesome. I’ll be back!

    I come to La Dolce Vita every day and I don't usually write reviews, but today I had the best breakfast burrito ever and people should know about it. This is the most beautiful burrito I have ever seen, and it tasted every bit as good as it looked — if not better. They have a delightful pumpkin spice latte with syrup from real pumpkins. It's a quiet, friendly, welcoming place to work, and it's the only place around you'll get that homey local coffee shop feel these days. If there's ever a line, it's worth the wait. They make every single thing by hand. You won't be disappointed.

    A Bohemian style coffee shop, with mismatched furniture, spacious corner space with live bands. They offer dairy milk alternatives, such as soy, almond and coconut milks.

    Their almond coffee cake is absolutely amazing. It is sweet, crunchy with a luscious almond flavor that is not that common everywhere. Whoever bakes this treat is an expert baker.:-) It's a nice place to sit, both inside and out too!

    Awesome little coffee shop with live evening music and open mic jams. Enjoyed a nice hot cappuccino while listen to a great blues jam.

    Used to come here a good 20 years ago and it was a nice local coffee shop that valued real ingredients cooked fresh on the spot. Stopped in today and I'm very glad to see that the folks who own it now have not only kept that spirit alive, but actually pushed it further. They were baking pastries while we watched and even apparently roast their own beans (it was too late in the day for me to sample, but I'll be back). The food *was* a little underseasoned, but with a number of elderly patrons nearby I can understand the caution and never mind seasoning to my own taste. Long story short, this is a great local place and I hope it's still here 20 years from now.

    Went to get a large coffee and something to eat while my dog had his grooming a few doors down. Absolutely love this place

    You will not regret stopping by this amazing coffee shop. The wonderful humans working there are such a joy to talk to, the coffee is impeccable, and the cinnamon rolls are to DIE for! Support small business and stop by!

    Fantastic place. Great coffee, solid food. Although I’ve only had a Bfast burrito (what else do you need?) Great spot to chill and have a cup if you’re nearby. Local feel, local people, not a chain. Highly recommend.

    We went in for coffee. We forgot we’d been here before. The shop is older and has a really cool atmosphere. The gentleman that served us was pleasant. Pretty sure it’s accessible however there are steps to get to the seating/bathrooms or down to the coffee depending on which door you enter. We personally didn’t have food or enjoy our coffees. It was too bitter for our tastes. We’ve been searching out locally owned coffee shops for vanilla lattes since last summer after enjoying them so much all over Europe. Or cafe lattes, depending on geography. lol We rarely find a place that has everything but most places have at least one thing that is really great and sometimes, like here at La Dolce Vita, you find a little gem that you just don’t expect. If you’re an 80’s kid or… wiser… haha… or you have spent time in the Midwest for example, walking through either door of this place will make your heart smile. It’s older and loved, what some might call shabby, with a feeling… There is a feeling and you GET a feeling. Anyway, we love this little place just next time we’ll maybe ask for extra milk and extra vanilla.

    Get the breakfast sandwich!! I go out of my way at least once a month to grab this delightful sandwich with the fluffiest eggs I cannot make at home if I tried (and I tried). Great family owned spot with fun drinks, great warm inviting atmosphere and delicious food!

    This morning I had breakfast and coffee with my new friends.I just love the ambience and the energy here.The room with the mural was so cool. I wish I would have thought to take more pics of it to share with you. I love that they Support Live Music and that they have a long list of SF syrups. I had sf almond roca in a hot cup of dark roast with cream and Truvia . Meeting my friends here led to more amazing connections and opportunities!

    Where do I start with this out of this world experience with this family owned business in historical Olde Town Arvada? It was so refreshing to see young family members help us. They were incredibly polite and skilled, even giving me a recommendation for a icy caramel beverage. While we sat outside enjoying the small town feel in the middle of bustling Arvada, our food came out. The best bacon, avocado, and scrambled egg croissant I have ever had! The croissant was nice and flaky and everything was fresh. If I could give 10 stars, I would.

    Best, smoothest iced coffee in Arvada/Denver, hands down. Great pastries, amazing croissant breakfast sandwiches. They roast all their beans too! Chill atmosphere, support small business!
