Was there too much coffee competition in uptown Phoenix? Was the strip mall location wrong? Did people just not get the live video DJ concept? Or was that name too much of a mouthful?
Whatever the reason, at least we know this much: Dolce Espresso Video Coffee Bar is closed.
Brothers Cesar and Leo Marin opened the shop at Camelback Rd. and 10th St. a little over a year ago, with the hopes of attracting a late-night crowd on weekends. Now, the space is empty and a for-rent sign is up.
Farewell, Dolce.
