Adorable bakery. I’d recommend their black and white cookie. However, as said on here multiple times the tiramisu needs a rework, especially for an Italian bakery. There are no layers. It’s watery. Not good. I threw mine away. Until it’s been reworked avoid. Otherwise, it’s worth a stop if you’re in the area and I found the staff friendly.

It’s a standard Italian bakery like in NY or other actual cities. The bakery items are good, the Italian cookies are ok even though they don’t make them all and the cakes and other items are ok. The actual bakery is very nice, the cashier/barista/c.s. woman was nice and knowledgeable, definitely worth visiting to try a few things.

I ordered about 300 Italian cookies for my wedding as one of our dessert options and La Dolce Vita did an amazing job! Our guests loved the cookies! They were also able to help deliver the cookies for us to make things easier. Since they’re closed on Sundays, they coordinated with myself and the venue to ensure delivery on Saturday. I cannot thank them enough for everything they did for me, especially Sydney! They were having trouble the morning of delivery getting in contact with the venue, but they worked tirelessly to sort everything out. The people at La Dolce Vita obviously care about and value their customers. I highly recommend them for any event, or to stop by for a treat!

I live in Lancaster County, but do not get into the city that often, but when I do, I always stop here! Wish they were open on Sundays, we would come more often not to mention a new love spot for our guests ♥️ try everything! I grew up in the Italian market area in South Philly . . authentically delicious!

I bought multiple items to try. The baguettes were delicious. The tiramisu wasn’t bad, a little watery for me. Bought a coffee cake slice, delicious. Had a frappe mocha drink with whipped cream topping. It must be homemade I didn’t care for it It tasted like whipped fat it was very heavy, dense. Had a few other treats and bagels. They were good. I would recommend the place for real Italian tastes.

they serve Lavazza coffee!! while we were in Lancaster for a short family getaway, I couldn’t drink another cup of hotel coffee so I went for a walk around town to find something decent. I see a small sign off in the distance, ‘Italian Bakery’, so I stop in and right by the front door I see – Lavazza! the coffee gods lead me to paradise! while I was there I got some pastries to take back to the hotel for the family. everything was fresh and delicious, but more importantly the coffee was perfection.

You want a banger for a bakery look no further than La Dolce Vita. As the name suggests, the bakery expertly makes a huge variety of Italian desserts, which of those I have tried are excellent. I especially love the cannolis, which are beautifully flaky coated with a variety of chocolate on the inside. The whole place smells so darn good. They even offer lunch options as well. A must try if you love desserts !

Love this place, the servers and very nice and the food is freshly made. I loved their sausage egg and cheese croissant. Will definitely be back again!

Finally got here after nine years in Lancaster! Omg, I’ve missed the BEST cannolis ever! Fresh piped cream, just the right touch of cinnamon in the shell. ABBONDANZA!
They match the ones we would get at Little Italy in Baltimore! And that’s saying something!

Best bakery in Lancaster and it’s not even close. They took such great care of me when it came to helping me decide on my daughter’s birthday cake. And every single person at her birthday party complimented the cake and thought it was delicious. It was just lovely! Also, they make the literal best chocolate chip cookies. <3 For what it's worth, this 3/4 sheet cake could have fed my party twice over and was extremely affordable for how high quality it was.
