Dolce & Salato has become one of those rare places that elevates the everyday in Hoboken. A great deal of that comes from Gaby, an exceptional barista with the sensitivity of an artist and the discipline of a true craftsperson. There is precision in every cup, but also warmth, intuition, and a sense of care that makes the experience feel personal from the very first sip. What sets this place apart, above all, is the quality of its ingredients. You can taste the difference immediately. Nothing feels incidental here. The coffee, the pastries, and the savory dishes all reflect a deep respect for the raw materials, and that commitment gives the entire menu a sense of honesty and refinement. One dish I keep thinking about is the gnocchi, which I asked to have served half pomodoro and half pesto. It was so balanced and so satisfying that it deserves a permanent place on the menu as “Gnocchi alla Oliver.” The texture was exactly right, soft yet structured, and once again the ingredients did the real work. You can feel the love and attention behind the kitchen and behind the people running this place. The room itself is comfortable, bright, and inviting. And now, with the warmer weather

The food was delicious and FRESH. You can notice the quality in the bread, homemade mozzarella and prosciutto. They have savory items from salads, wraps, soups and panini sandwiches. We also had their coffee it was well made and tasted great. I truly enjoyed this place will be back soon. I love how they have both sweet and salty options.

They recently changed ownership, and unfortunately, it’s gone completely downhill. What used to be a great lunch spot is now a complete money grab with below average food. It’s not a stretch to say it’s the worst value for the price you will find in Hoboken. Pictured here is the Caprese sandwich, priced at $18 pre-tax. It was dry, tasteless, and completely unsatisfying. They didn’t even put oil/vinegar on it. No dressing whatsoever, and the bread didn’t even taste fresh. I’m a slow eater, and this sandwich went down in less than 5 minutes. I’m still hungry. Do yourself a favor and avoid this overpriced place! Plenty of better places around.

I want to share how much I enjoyed my visit to this Italian bakery. From the moment I walked in, I fell in love with the place: cozy, with a decor that transports you directly to Italy. The service was excellent; the entire staff was very friendly and attentive. And best of all: the food! I tried several desserts, and each one was delicious; the quality and care taken in each preparation was evident. Without a doubt, this is a place I would return to again and again. Highly recommended for lovers of good pastries.
