Sweet Summer Dreams of Dolci

On a sweltering hot day, there's really nothing like having Dolci back up and running (see back story). After a brief trip to the Co-op, it was time to cool down and it was my luck that Dolci was open for business, though in limited capacity. Today was the perfect day to sit outside on the patio eating gelato. After scoping out the numerous flavors (that need to be labeled) the Concord Grape looked to be the most refreshing, plus it turned out to be a regional flavor. The galato special of the day included a cookie, which was a good deal, but I was more interested in trying out the Concord Grape gelato solo - even a cookie sounded too hot. 

I recently discovered that Dolci makes vegan cakes, cupcakes and cookies (see here). There's even a vegan gelato. And come fall, Dolci's upper floor will be transformed into a cafe with bar seating at the windows that look out onto Elmwood. Once again, it looks as if lack of permits from The City may be holding up progress on this front, which is unfortunate because these long periods of waiting tend to cost a business a lot of money, especially during the critical time of opening. At least Dolci got its doors open in order to sell gelato during these hot summer days... let's hope that The City can straighten out the permit process by fall so that Dolci can start to crank out the coffee drinks, soups, breads and sandwiches. In the meantime, here's a list of the rotating gelato flavors:
