The vanilla cream filled donuts at Dot's are delicious. They are light, fluffy, and packed with just the right amount of vanilla cream in the center. The cream isn't too sweet and the donut is coated with a good amount of powdered sugar. I'll definitely be back to try the other pastries here when I'm back in the area. read more

When another OC bakery stopped selling our family's favorite donuts, we needed to find a replacement. I searched yelp pics and found Dot's and I'm so glad we did! We called and preordered half a dozen of the chocolate topped, cream filled donuts. They were the perfect replacement. Plus, they have a bunch of other goodies there we were interested in trying. Very friendly and great service. See you next year! read more

Pastries tend to be on the drier side. Bought cookies first thing in the morning, yet they seem stale. Crumb cake is bland, not moist, and not sweet or cinnamon-y. Donuts have an odd taste as if that were fried in the same oil as something savory (almost like pizza herbs?). Server seemed a little impatient with. The ambiance is that if a normal bakery, but I did see more tiny flies than I'd like. I'll go to Mallon's or Lisa's instead from now on. read more

Dots is a must when you are in Ocean City!!! They are known for their white cream donuts which are fresh, light and delicious! They make the best sticky buns and try the cheese pocket - its a light flaky danish with creamy cheese filling. Also try their butter cake, it's so gooey and creamy. Great service which is incredible as there is a line out the door everyday! Such a nice hard working family business too. read more

On our way out of Ocean City NJ the wife wanted to try Dot's croissant bun and since she wanted it we went to get it.
