The interior and scent contribute to the appeal, while the matcha flavor is often disappointing and the churro lacks the expected crunch, especially when freshly fried. Overall, Dulce is viewed as worth returning to for flavors and the charming ambience, with a note to adjust expectations on sweetness and texture at times.View restaurant profile
