Crema's Take
“Dolce Cravings is a tiny family-run spot in Downey that draws loyal praise for fresh pastries and mini pancakes with fruit, but consistency is a real problem—drinks like the strawberry matcha arrive watery and poorly executed, ice is frequently missing, and service is slow even when the place is quiet. The space is cramped with tough parking, and you're banking on catching them on a good day with the right staff member; some customers rave, others leave disappointed by sloppy preparation and mediocre coffee drinks.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu. Family friendly.

See all on Google →It doesnt have any ice, the strawberry match is the worst I've ever tasted, didnt put cream, doesnt even taste like strawberry. Just tastes like water.. and the bits of "strawberries" look horrible. And also the two "ladies" were so rude and weren't welcoming at all.
I’m here right now it’s 4 pm on a Sunday not busy at all. People were trickling in as I was leaving but I enjoyed their drinks and the kiddos in the front were really sweet :) cute family owned small business
Really hard to find parking, very small store. They have many drink options and sweet treats. Service is a little on the slow side and also a little messy. Ordered their banana latte, it was ok.
It’s a small little hole in the wall place, but you will not be disappointed. Fresh yummy desserts, they offer a variety of things. I’m a fan of the little pancakes with the fresh fruit and variety of drizzles they offer. The workers there are really polite.
Omg this place is soooooooo DELICIOUS! I can’t wait to visit here again! I’ve had a lot of mini pancakes but none like these! They are THE BEST❤️ Ms. Alma was so amazing and her service was out of this world!
