Dolce Marie

Dolce Marie is a farm-to-table cafe and bakeshop that serves brunch all day, with breakfast plates, paninis, salads and a full coffee and tea menu. All baking is done in house every day, and the menu includes French toast bread pudding, scones, crumb cake and homemade desserts. Coffee is Lavazza and the bread comes from Balthazar.

The cafe is open Tuesday through Sunday and closed on Mondays, with shorter hours on weekends. It's a small corner shop on Bloomfield Avenue in Verona, overlooking the park, with gluten free bread available on sandwiches. Calling the phone line is the quickest way to reach the cafe, since email replies can take up to 72 hours.
