Dolce Vita Bakery

The introduction

Hello everyone, I hope, that you are all doing just fine!

In this article I want to tell you about this place, where you can buy some delicious cakes and it’s a very famous place in the capital of Georgia and many people even know that place from other cities and towns and sometimes people just go there all the way to get their cakes.

Well, do you love cakes? And if you do, do you know anything about this Dolce Vita conditery? If you love cakes, you should definitely know about this place, because everyone just loves their cakes and stuff. And there’s always a huge line in the shop, which is not that large, I must say, however, the place is pretty well-designed and decided well, too.

About Dolce Vita

This place is called Dolce Vita and it’s located in Varketili. It’s nearby the metro station Varketili, however it’s not that near the metro station as you might think. It’s located on Romanoz Khomleli street, Tbilisi, Georgia. It’s is somehow nearby the Varketili metro station, as I have already mentioned. And the working hours are from 9 a.m. till 10 p.m. you can also have their phone number and call them for some orders or questions or things like that. It’s 0322 73 30 73 and that’s the city number and not a  mobile phone number, if you don’t know that.

Dolce Vita was created on 9 May, 2007 and since then it has only had one conditery place _ on Khomleli street and people just came there for cakes, it became that popular because of their delicious cakes and stuff. People knew, that they were not anywhere else and they wanted them to be in other places in Tbilisi, too, however, they just didn’t make any changes and they were just on Khomleli street. However, it has been just recently that they opened another branch on Vazha-pshavela avenue No.7 and you can see the Dolce Vita sign just when you go to Vazha-pshavela avenue from Pekini street. It’s somewhere nearby the Medical University metro station, so that it’s not that difficult to find this Dolce Vita there, if you ask me.

If you are interested, you can also get on their facebook web page, you just have to look for “Dolce Vita 88” and there you will find them and they have all those pictures of their birthday and corporate and other cakes and other things and you can easily see, what they can do.

They also take orders, of course, and many people go to them or phone them and order some birthday cakes or other types of cakes and tell them , what they want the cakes to have inside and how they should look and things like that and they just prepare the cakes as they wish them to be.

I remember this very first time, when I had this fortune of tasting Dolce Vita’s cakes and this cake was the “Tube” or “Trubochka” as they call it here, however, it’s not a Georgian word, it’s Russian and it means “a small tube”.It’s a very popular cake in Georgia, if you want to know the truth and many people like buying and eating it. However, it’s not that popular to bake it at home, because it needs some time and experience to prepare it.

You know, there are already prepared tubes for that nowadays and you can easily buy them and prepare the cream filling yourself and put it inside those tubes and that is it, however, it’s not worth doing that, when you just want to have one tube and you can easily buy it in a conditery store. And there are those stores, where people know, that they have some delicious tubes, so that they go there to buy those tubes. And so is Dolce Vita well-known for their Trubochkas and people just go there to buy them and, well, there have been many times, when I got there and they were out of those Trubochkas, because so many people go there to buy them.  some time earlier, their Trubochkas were pretty large and they just cost 1 Lari, however, now they have raised the price and it costs 1.20 laris now, though you really don’t look at the price when you see their Trubochka and you know, that it is very delicious. and it’s pretty large, too, so that, it’s really worth it, if you ask me.  the cream filling is just amazing and it’s not very sweet and not less sweet, either, and it’s just very well combined with the dough, which is for the tube.  

"Trubochka"

Well, anyways, they also have many other things except for Trubochka. They have some Napoleon cakes, which resemble Trubochka, however, they have that simple cake shape and all the other ingredients are the same, if you want to know the truth, however, I haven’t tasted their Napoleon cake, so that I don’t really know, whether they are good or not. But, still, if they are prepared from the same cream filling and dough as they prepare the Trubochkas, then it must be delicious, too.

Snickers

There’s another cake called “Snickers”, which you have probably heard about. And if you don’t, then you should know, that it’s a cake with usual biscuit and some meringue and roasted peanuts and chocolate ganache. It’s pretty sweet, so that if you want to have something, that is less sweet, then you shouldn’t take the Snickers cake, because it’s really very sweet. And they usually prepare its cream filling with the cooked condensed milk, so that it’s sweeter, than the usual cream filling.

Opium

They also have this great cake called “Opium” and it’s kind of very sweet, too, however, it’s not as sweet as the Snickers cake is. It’s with that meringue, that I love and it has cherries inside, or lemon. Well, I’ve seen lemon Opium cakes everywhere, however, these people here love preparing it with cherries, and, to be honest, I really like the cherry one, if you want to know the truth. And it costs about 2 Laris as I remember.

Muffins and pound cakes and tarts

They also have some muffins and pound cakes, which are pretty good and they usually cost somewhere about 50 Tetris to 1 Lari. And they also have those different small tarts, too, with some cream fillings, like the vanilla one and chocolate one and the one with lemon or fruits, and they are pretty delicious, if you ask me. However, eating those tarts is not that simple and one may get all dirty with the cream filling and that’s what I don’t like and if I buy those tarts, I make sure, that I will get home soon, so that I can eat those tarts at home in a much comfortable situation, where I can be sure, that if I get dirty with the cream filling, no one will see me like that.
