Spring of 2027 is bringing sweet new opportunities to a DC gelato institution. Dolcezza has plans to deepen its presence at the Hirshhorn Museum, where it has already made a big impact on visitors, with a new, custom-designed outpost, reports Eater Washington DC.
Dolcezza has had a presence in the Independence Avenue SW & 7th Street SW cultural center since 2018. The concept has been serving up pastries, coffee, and-of course-gelato in the Hirshhorn lobby and now plans to expand beyond the museum walls, with a customized container set to open in the sculpture garden.
Dolzezza co-founder Robb Duncan is collaborating with architect Hiroshi Sugimoto on the project, which he describes saying: “We’ll turn it on for coffee and gelato and possibly other offerings to be a part of the garden and work with the Hirshhorn Museum, the Smithsonian, and activate that with events.”
Duncan and his partner in business and life Violeta Edelman plan to have the new outpost ready for guests in March of 2027.
