Entrance:

Small café specializing in desserts and chocolates (Dolso means sweet).

Interior:

I like their wallpaper.

Café con leche €1.20


Taten de Calabaza y vainilla de Tahiti €7.80
(Pumpkin cake and Tahitian Vanilla)

As it was my birthday, I wanted to have a chocolatey dessert, but I fell for the pumpkin since I love pumpkin pie so much!
Completely not what I expected, it turned out to be a warm mush of naturally sweet pumpkin, extremely salty pie crust crumbs, and sweet vanilla ice cream. It wasn’t too bad, just a bit weird, and a little confusing for my taste buds. Since the pumpkin wasn’t really sweetened, it made me think of soup or vegetables. The combination of warm mushy pumpkin, sweet cold ice cream, and way too salty pie crumbs made every bite…weird. Not a very good birthday dessert unfortunately.

Coulant de Chocolate con helado de Fisherman’s €8.20
(Chocolate coulant with Fisherman’s ice cream)

This, on the other hand made me jealous! I should have just ordered something chocolatey like I had planned! Warm gooey cake oozing with chocolate, and with a crisp powdery outside. Whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and a scoop of minty minty ice cream. yum yum yum! I’m not sure what the little green blobs were, but they looked like wasabi and kind of tasted like it too!

I like this place, you can get a fancy dessert without having to go to a fancy restaurant and eating a fancy meal first!

total+tax= €17.20 (dessert for 2) With a seasonally changing menu, I got a new list to choose from (no pumpkin pie).

Capuchino de crema de café, sorbete de leche, espuma Baileys, galleta crujiente de café espresso €6.80
(coffee cream cappucino, milk sorbet, Baileys foam, crunchy espresso cookie)

Again, I skipped the chocolate for something that sounded interesting. In the photo, on the left is a really strong Baileys flavored whipped cream, on the right is sweet cream flavored ice cream, milky milk foam at the bottom and underneath it all a strong bitterish coffee flavored buttery mousse and crunchy pie crust crumbs, this time a bit less salty. Pretty fun to eat.

Coulant de Chocolate con Helado de Dulce de Leche €8.20
(Chocolate coulant with caramel ice cream)

Dark chocolate cake with the same gooey insides, caramel ice cream, and sweet caramel flavored whipped cream.

Receipt:
postre 1 6.80
postre 2 8.20
total+tax= €15.00 (dessert for 2)
