About
What started from posting photos of treats intended for family gifts on social media turned into phone calls and texts of requests from friends to purchase the items. Therefore, Dolce Cucina was born. Dolce Cucina (dole-chay coo-chee-nah) means “Sweet Kitchen” in Italian. Growing up in an Italian household, the love for baking was acquired early on.
All of our products are prepared in a fully-licensed kitchen. However, this is not your typical baked-goods shop where you can stop by and pick-up some cookies on the way to work, or call in an order of a dozen treats for tomorrow. The method of purchasing our products is by “drop.” The concept of a “drop” is where a limited quantity of treats are made available for pre-purchase through our Web site. Posts will be made on our socials notifying you product previews for each drop, as well as the day and time each pre-order goes live for purchase. Products drop on various days of the week. Pre-paid, pre-orders only will be accepted. There will not be on-the-spot sales available at the drop location. All times are EST. Once the limited supply of products sell out, the pre-orders close and that product will no longer be available for sale for that particular drop date. When they are gone, they are gone. A product in your cart is not guaranteed until payment is made. If the pre-orders do not sell out, we will bring the treats that were not sold to the drop location for anyone who would like to purchase additional quantities.
Our products are not the typical cookie, or candy. High-quality ingredients are used in preparing the products, and creativity is added to taste by meticulously decorating and the presentation in packaging the items.
There may be a minimum quantity order required based on the product that is being featured.
The exact date and time, and general drop location will be included in the posts announcing the promotion so that customers can determine if they are able to pick-up the order prior to making a decision to place an order. The exact drop location will be sent with the order confirmation. All drop locations are within Erie County, Pennsylvania. If a customer knows prior to placing the order that they will not be available to pick-up it up during the advertised date and time, they should consider asking someone else to pick up the order for them, or possibly not ordering this time around. If the customer can’t make arrangements for pick-up at the drop location, they may contact us to make possible delivery arrangements. If delivery is available, a fee will be charged based on the location, day, and time requested by the customer. This is on an individual basis, not guaranteed, and not all delivery fees will be the same.
Posts will be made on our socials notifying you our product previews for each drop as well as when each drop goes live throughout the week. Products drop on various days of the week, but days and times will be announced. All times will be EST.
