Westfield UTC, San Diego

A taste of the Amalfi Coast, one scoop at a time.

Handmade gelato, warm crepes, and specialty Italian coffee — served with the kind of hospitality that makes shopping day feel like a coastal holiday.

Bright, welcoming, unmistakably Italian.

Dolce Cafe brings the relaxed rhythm of the Italian coast to the middle of your day. Every gelato is churned in small batches, every crepe folded to order, and every espresso pulled the way it's meant to be — quality ingredients, friendly faces, and a sunny corner of Westfield UTC to enjoy them in. Stop by for a quick breakfast, a satisfying lunch, or a sweet reason to take a break from shopping.

La Nostra Storia

Inspired by the coast, built for your day.

We opened Dolce Cafe because we missed the feeling of a proper Italian coastal café — the kind where the coffee is strong, the gelato is genuinely handmade, and nobody rushes you out the door.

So we brought that feeling to Westfield UTC: quality ingredients, generous portions, and the kind of hospitality that makes a five-minute stop feel like a small vacation.
