DULCIS - 4 years

Wed, 26 Aug 2026 17:15:19 GMT

From gelato and pasticcini to your favourite Italian pasticceria , THANK YOU for four sweet years

Four years ago, DULCIS opened with a simple dream: to bring authentic Italian gelato and pasticcini to our community. Little by little, we became a point of reference as an Italian pasticceria a place where people come for celebrations, daily treats, and a true taste of Italy.

The name Dulcis comes from Latin, meaning “sweet”, but also “delightful” in taste, fragrance, and spirit . That’s exactly what we’ve tried to bring to our corner of Cambridge: something sweet, authentic, and deeply connected to our Italian roots .

A Family Business with Italian Roots

DULCIS is an independent, family-run business founded by Maurizio and Alessandro, who wanted to share the flavours and traditions they grew up with. Every gelato is churned on-site. Handcrafted pasticcini made with recipes perfected over decades. And every espresso is poured with the same care you’d find in a classic Italian bar.

From a Small Start to a Community Staple

Everything began with a handful of gelato flavours and a small selection of pasticcini. Over time, your support turned DULCIS into more than a take-away treat shop. It became a place for birthdays, anniversaries, coffee breaks, and everyday moments shared with friends and family.

Over four years, we’ve become more than a little shop. We’ve become a destination for:

Artisan pasticcini : bite-sized Italian pastries made to be shared and savoured.
Hand-churned gelato , made in small batches with attention to texture and flavour.
Celebration cakes for weddings, birthdays, and anniversaries,

A warm, welcoming space in the Rose Quarter where people meet, celebrate, and take a moment for themselves.

Thank You for Being Part of Our Story

None of this would have been possible without you. Every order online, every visit to the shop, every recommendation, and every celebration you’ve shared with us has helped shape DULCIS into what it is today.

As we step into our fifth year, our promise stays the same:

authentic Italian specialities, made fresh on-site in Cambridge, with passion, pride, and a lot of heart.

Thank you for four incredible years.
Thank you for choosing DULCIS.

With gratitude,
Maurizio, Alessandro & the DULCIS Team

GRAZIE!

Choux? We Say Bigne'!

From Our Dulcis Kitchen to Your Heart...

Taste the Art of Italy.

Italian bignè are cherished pastries known for their golden, light shells filled with luscious pastry cream , capturing the essence of Italy's dessert heritage . At Dulcis in Cambridge, we craft these timeless delights from scratch, bringing genuine flavours right to your heart.

With roots dating back to the 16th-century Renaissance , the bignè legend credits Florentine chefs with perfecting the light, puffed choux dough before it spread across Europe.

In Rome, Naples, and Sicily, fried dough sweets evolved into these luxurious, cream-filled delights, blending culinary artistry with religious festivity.

Over time, they became highlights of regional feasts, especially the Festa di San Giuseppe (Father's Day in Italy).

Not only Crema Pasticcera

Three Irresistible Fillings to Choose From:

Crema Pasticciera: Classic vanilla custard, silky and timeless.
Crema Cioccolato: Decadent chocolate cream for pure indulgence
Crema Pistacchio: Vibrant pistachio bliss, nutty and luxurious.

Welcome, Gelato Lovers!

If you’ve made it this far, you deserve a piece of joy and a little scoop of knowledge to go with it!

If you're a gelato enthusiast in Cambridge who desires an authentic taste of Sicily, you're in the right place. Perhaps you've been frustrated by the lack of genuine flavours or concerned about the freshness of what's available around Cambridge. That's where Dulcis comes in! We produce gelato on-site, preserving the rich flavour and tradition straight from Sicily to satisfy your cravings.

Why Choose On-Site Production?

On-site production isn't just a trendy phrase; it's the heart of authentic gelato creation . Producing gelato on-site ensures that each scoop is fresh, bursting with flavour, and true to traditional methods. We focus on quality ingredients and immediate consumption, offering an exceptional taste experience.

Local and Sicilian

At Dulcis, we pride ourselves on being more than just a gelato shop. Our commitment to on-site production enables us to oversee every step of the process, from carefully selecting local ingredients to crafting flavours that celebrate the rich tradition of Sicilian cuisine. What sets us apart is our deep respect for time-honoured family techniques , combined with a passion for innovation.

How Dulcis Brings Sicilian Tradition to Cambridge

Our flavours are inspired by traditional Sicilian recipes, using, where possible, local UK ingredients to reduce environmental impact while supporting local farmers.

For example, our fresh milk comes from Linton in Cambridgeshire. Whereas some of our nut-based flavours are made with Sicilian almond and hazelnut pastes and Italian pistachio. This approach not only preserves the essence of our gelato but also improves its freshness and nutritional value.

Timeless Delights from Dulcis Gelato Flavours

Picture yourself savouring our signature Gianduia , a heavenly blend of Belgian chocolate and Sicilian hazelnut paste , or indulging in our creamy Stracciatella and nutty Pistachio . Don’t forget our vibrant vegan options, like Mango Passion Fruit and Strawberry velvety soft sorbets, made with 100% pure fruit purée and no preservatives.

Complete your gelato with homemade toppings.

Our Panna - freshly whipped cream - adds the perfect finishing touch to your cone or tub.

Loved by the Cambridge community , our gelato is not just a treat but an experience. Check our glowing Google reviews!
