| - I've been working near the central train station this week, so I was walking past this place twice a day. After three days, I couldn't resist its charm anymore and went in.
The place is super cute!! It has a very clean, modern interior, with a candy bar, a gelato station, a cupcake showcase, a cake fridge and plenty of sitting area. During lunchtime, it also opens up a coffee station at the shopfront, where it sells arancini (stuffed rice balls).
It's 3.50$ per cupcake, the same price as Les Glaceurs. Not really cheap, but you do get a better price if you buy more. The selection of flavors is rather conservative, with mostly crowd pleasers (chocolate, vanilla, nutella, red velvet, etc.). I went for the chocolate and salted caramel cupcake. I think the icing was meringue-based, as it was way less sweet (thank god) than american buttercream. The cake itself was moist, with a little dollop of delicious salted caramel in the middle. Really good!
Dolce Gateaux is adorable for cute bakeries and other treats, but flavors are a bit less interesting than what you might find at other places.
