They saved one of their last Birthday Cakes for us....and it was AWESOME!! Great decoration and the cake was amazing. Super light and fluffy and the frosting was the same....so light and sweet and not oily or heavy at all The cake was so good I really want to get back in and try everything else they offer! The woman who helped me over the phone was so nice and patient....and they were all smiles when I picked up! read more

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

The dough is light and soft. Traditional selections of sugar, powder, jelly filled, cream filled. They do make a glaze donut in the shape of a pretzel. Good spot - the quality does not disappoint, overall a standard donut location that will satisfy. read more

Our first order of business on our annual summer vacation is a stop at Dot's. Always. No exceptions. I'd share pictures with this review but we never seem to snap one in time. Our favorites include: - Vanilla creme donut (any donut) - Bear claw - Cheese danishes - Sticky buns Bagels are quite good too. read more

When my son was little, we would have his birthday parties there. They were very accomodating and their cakes were delicious..they made a little runway with an airplane on the cake as his dad and I worked on airplanes. read more

Food was very overfried when I went with my family this may. Not much variety in the food they served

Great donuts. That never disappoint! Vanilla creme are my favorite. Super cute cakes too ! read more

Dot's clearly has a tried and true recipe. They don't taste like your run in the mill donuts and have unique flavor. It's also nice to get a box of donuts where most items are still warm. What a great spot! read more

Some We're definitely stale and the rest were odd tasting. Way expensive for what you're getting 3 pastries, two small cookies and 2 plain bagels 23$. Not sure what people are raving about. read more

Too bad this only goes to 5 stars, because this restraint of easily a 6/5 stars 100% would recommend to anyone that comes to this beautiful beach town!! I've been coming here since I was less than 6 months old and I can tell you hands down that it isn't a good trip to OCNJ until you get dots! So truly what are you waiting for!! Go straight to dots to make a great trip, also would highly recommend the chocolate sprinkles, glazed, Boston cream, and the jelly filled! all are 11/10's!!! read more

This place is AMAZING!! Literally the best donuts and pastries I've ever had! Their crumb cake is so light it melts in your mouth! This is the place to be!! 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. We both agreed that it was nothing special or worth the drive down so far from most of the main area. The danish was odd tasting and I did not like the cheese stuffed inside. We will not go back as nothing was destination worthy. read more

Dots is small but nice. So many deserts each one is delicious is the way is it supposed to be. Line moves super quick and good price. No seating but its more of a eat it at home or in your car sort of thing. read more

Just NO! Seriously don't drive all the way down to the other end of the world to try this bakery. It's just OK and i'm sure it's great for people who are renting houses near it but it's nothing to rave about. We tried a croissant in sticky bun glaze and a cheese pocket and both were basically 7-11 quality. read more

Do NOT worry about the long lines or the door and even if you have #32 and there on #83 ( how it was Memorial Day weekend ). U will have at most 15 min wait and SO worth the wait !!! Cream filled are like tic-tacs and the sprinkles are insane. Trust me you won't be disappointed and make sure u take cash ( cash only :) Enjoy!!! read more

Dot's Pastry Shop - Gotta protect the Dots donuts !!! - Bakeries Near Me - Ocean City, New Jersey

Don't worry about the line, and make sure you get the Peperoni Bread and Cream Filled doughnuts, the kids love everything else too.

On the island Dot's bakery is Barney on the best bakery. The most consistent quality in doughnuts, muffins birthday cakes, cookies and platters, and strudels to name a few items. Jeanne and Gregg run a quality business and are actively involved from start to finish each day. You can't go wrong with that! Also I wanted to mention the service is quick and attendance. read more

Grandkids totally enjoyed the donuts! When in the area again will definitely go to Dot's and get breakfast pastries again.

One of the old fashioned donut shops still operating today. Great options and selections available. The creme filled donut was awesome... just the right and generous amount of Kreme filling! Apple fritters could use more of a hint of apple but still well done. The part that made this a solid 5 was the staff and the way they boxed the donuts... with an old fashioned stringed box tier!!!! Seriously, I would vo back just to get the box tied like that. The thing had to be from the 40's! Loved it. Felt like a Norman Rockwell moment!!! read more
