Visiting from NYC and stopped by Dottie's today. Great selection of donuts and drinks. I had the pumpkin chai pecan donut and it hit the spot. The staff was friendly and the donuts were warm. The shop isn't too big but there's a seat or two if you want to sit and enjoy your treats read more

I had the pleasure of trying Dottie's Donuts in Wissahickon, Philadelphia at a yelp event last night it is a fantastic vegan bakery that offers a wide variety of delicious treats. From classic donut flavors like chocolate glazed and powdered sugar to more unique options like matcha and lavender lemon, there is something for everyone at Dottie's. The donuts were very fresh and flavorful, with a perfect balance of sweetness and texture. I highly recommend Dottie's Donuts to anyone looking for a tasty vegan treat in Philadelphia. Whether you're a long-time vegan or just looking to try something new, I am personally not vegan however I found the chocolate pistachio donuts to be out of this world and actually didn't realize at first that it was vegan. You won't be disappointed by the selection and quality at Dottie's. read more

Good service. Fresh food and ever changing exotic donut flavor options. Coffee is fine but donuts is what you come here for. Bagel w slightly different flavoring is good. A lady w a black folding cart came in and claimed to want to apply to the store. She also claimed she was a baker of the original owners and had her own business and/or other experience afterwards. She had no resume and unsurprisingly the store had no paper applications. The clerk kindly referred her to look at the information on Instagram. Then she said she had an interest to be a taster and asked to sample a donut. The clerk was nice enough to hand her one free donut . They probably get this type of behavior a lot. It is sad to see this but this situation was handled well by the clerk so that it didn't potentially escalate. I might've not made the best decision as a clerk in his shoes but if I was in his position now, I would probably make better decisions in these kind of situations. Then this lady proceeded to tell me how delicious the donuts are. I concurred naturally but later on in my mind, thought that even though I love free stuff too, this is not the way to get it. We don't know the emotions and turmoil this individual lady is going through. She doesn't have much class at this moment but hopefully we can live in a better world where people can live more harmoniously with different backgrounds and different socioeconomics. read more

Holy fabulous donut!! I just went for the first time and I can't wait to go back. I had the sour watermelon doughnut the other day and it was absolutely delicious. The doughnut was wonderfully fluffy, even though it's vegan, and you really don't notice a difference between a vegan and non-vegan donut at Dottie's. The only reason I knocked down a star is because I found the staff member to be very unfriendly, even when I was being outwardly nice. read more

Fresh donuts different flavors I believe monthly you can smell fresh baked goods in the air

I stopped here on a whim because it has been on my list of places to try in Philly and now I'm completely obsessed! The donuts are very soft, not too sweet, and there are so many fun and creative flavors. I ended up getting cinnamon sugar, glazed, and chocolate sprinkle donuts. You'd honestly never guess they're vegan because of how great the donuts tasted. Can't wait to go back and try more! read more

Amazing donuts, quick, and stays fresh throughout the day. Also fairly priced. Definitely recommend trying some donuts here, especially on a nice weekend day with a little walk to Clark park afterwards read more

Made it in time just before closing and was greeted with a smile as always. Grabbed a delicious donut as always. One day at hope I'm not just passing by and can sit in to enjoy my treat in their quiet little shop. read more

Put the pipe down. Ain't no way this is 4 1/2 Stars. Overpriced. Overly sweet (fritter was straight sugar) Lack of variety. I did enjoy the boston cream - Not gonna lie. Let's be real though. 3 stars at best. Ok, resume smoking. Peace out. read more

I've seen a lot of donuts in my life but never have I ever seen a mini strawberry shortcake on top of a donut! I could have just stared at this donut for hours though my stomach couldn't wait that long. I ate the mini shortcake first and then the donut. I didn't get too much of a lavender favor. I loved the espresso cheesecake cream in the powdered sugar donut. It's hard to believe it's vegan. I loved this and would highly recommend trying Dottie's donuts. read more

I've tried Dotties Donuts a few times since my last review and my favorite flavors are the oatmeal cookie, blueberry earl grey and classic vanilla. The donuts are so chewy and have the perfect amount of sweetness. No need to worry about if they sell out of any specialty flavors because the classic vanilla is delicious. I also like the cinnamon buns. They have a subtle amount of cinnamon and a lot of glaze. I also tried the apple fritter and did not like it. The fritter I bought didn't have any apples, so I know that's not a flavor I'll buy again. read more

Dottie's Donuts - Donuts - Cafes Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Dottie's has some of the best vegan doughnuts around. I am in no way or shape a vegan, but the flavor and texture of these doughnuts are a force to be reckoned with. Dottie's distributes to many of the local cafes so you can get some really good doughnuts there. Each flavor is very unique and the taste is always good. I sometimes feel healthier eating some of these doughnuts. Overall, I highly recommend getting some of these doughnuts. The flavors are unique and they taste really good. Definitely a philly staple. read more

I was skeptical at first but these are pretty good for vegan donuts. Fluffy and you can barely tell they're vegan that's the best part! So satisfying and they get pretty creative with their menu. This place is great for a coffee chat and the latte art is so adorable! read more

The service was great. It was my first time here, so they patiently helped me select a variety of donuts. Everyone who ate the donuts commented on how delicious they were - you couldn't even tell they were vegan. I'll definitely stop by when next I'm in the area. I believe it's take out only. read more

I've visited this location at least 5 times at this point. Service is always decent, and the donuts are pretty solid - especially the rotating specials, cinnamon buns, fritters, and cosmic brownies. The tiramisu eclair special I got today, though, was a 3/5; fresh with just the right bite, and the chocolate icing wasn't overly sweet. It had enough icing and filling, but the flavor of the filling was a little off (a tad artificial?) and not intensely coffee/chocolatey enough for me. For $4.05 (including tax) for a single donut, I'm not the biggest fan, especially given that it cost $1.25 more than their plain classics, and even $0.75 more than their deluxe which sometimes includes a cookie, cake, poptart, or other cool topping. I was very excited to try this special, but that filling had a lot to be desired. 3.5/5 read more

I really did not want to sit at home with an entire box of donuts during quarantine. Well I did, but I didn't you know?....Anyway Dottie's made it way too easy for me to order them online and pick them up from their window the next morning. I am personally not vegan, but I do try to watch my meat consumption as I hear it could help with energy and acne so truth be told I didn't buy these because they were vegan. I bought them because they looked absolutely delicious and I am team Donut. While they were delicious, not exactly what I was expecting. They were much chewier and dense than I imagined. Don't let their delicate yeast donut appearance fool you. these are not donuts you can just keep popping in your mouth. I was full after a couple bites. Head's up though, you MUST pre-order these 24 hours ahead of time on their website and you can't pick which flavors they give you. Sort of like an omakase experience here since I guess they don't want to have to put up with picky consumers. Don't be weird. Enjoy the flavors they give you and be thankful that you're fortunate enough to be buying donuts at a time like this. read more

The flavors are unique, the inside is moist and delicious and they are vegan! Try them! Vegan or not! read more

Dottie's Donuts - Cafes Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This is one of two Dottie's locations in Philadelphia and it's fabulous. This small donut shop offers a wide variety of all-vegan donuts that will knock your socks off. I brought a dozen to my non-vegan quasi-in-laws and all of them loved the donuts, including the picky children. In particular, the chocolate pistachio ($3), the Boston Creme ($3) and the coffee cake (which is one of the few non-donut offerings they have) were wonderful. These donuts also hold up well. They still tasted good even 48 hours later, whereas I've found most other donuts are stale within a few hours. If you've had the vegan donuts at places like Donut Friend or Donatsu in LA, or Glam Doll in Minneapolis, expect similar quality at Dottie's. Also, Dottie's is way better than famous (but mediocre) places like Voodoo Donuts, Mighty-O and Dun-well in Portland, Seattle and NYC, respectively. read more

A friend brought me one of their doughnuts a little while ago. It was the best doughnut I have ever had. Needless to say, I had to make the trip to see this place for myself and try another doughnut. They did not disappoint! They are a vegan establishment. I am not vegan and often find vegan food to lack flavor or been an unpleasant texture. These doughnuts are amazing! Seriously the best. The texture is fantastic and the flavors are amazing. I first tried a lemon-poppyseed glazed doughnut. My second was a cinnamon and sugar. Both were excellent. I am looking forward to going back, but relieved I live a good distance away as their doughnuts could easily become addictive. Go try them! read more

The favorites were the apple fritter of course and the jelly filled. The give you the donuts in a pizza box. read more

This place is awesome !!! I loved the donuts . We got the Apple fritter , the blueberry frosted with hibiscus filling , chocolate frosted , Boston crème , and vanilla frosted . What I loved most about the donuts were that they were inexpensive and all together was about 16 bucks . But I loved that they weren't extremely sweet and had such a nice fluffiness about them . I loved these donuts so much. When I come back to visit Philly again I'll be back for donuts ! read more

After 6 years, still a favorite. I love that they rotate the donut selections, have a vegan Thai tea that I can't find elsewhere and have a sweet staff. The owner is especially helpful during the handful of times I have met him. I especially love the coffee type filled donuts. Man oh man! I only wish they had those daily. Keep up the amazing work. West Philly loves you guys! read more

Best donuts ive had in philly hands down. And maybe in general. They have such a lovely, light and chewy textures and their daily flavors are genius. I loved the matcha pistachio today. Their bagels and cream cheeses are also delicious. read more

Dottie's Donuts is right near Clark Park around the corner of 45th Street and Baltimore Avenue. All their items are vegan! Their store is currently open for take-out from 8am-3pm and you order from outside. Their flavors are constantly changing so check their Instagram for their daily offerings. Note that it's currently contactless payment only (so no cash) and they also take Venmo. It's around $15 for a half dozen. I tried the Maple Coffee Cake, Matcha Pistachio, Chocolate Oreo, Brown Butter Rosemary, Boston Cream, and the Vanilla Sprinkles. I'm a chocolate fan so my favorites were the Boston Cream and the Chocolate Oreo. Overall, I liked that Dottie's donuts are less sweet and the texture is chewier than your typical donut. It's a bit pricey but granted all their ingredients are vegan. TLDR: Delicious vegan donuts with great taste and texture! Check their Instagram for their daily flavor offerings. read more

Guilt-free(ish) vegan donuts?? Heck yes. Got a lotta mixed messages online as to how to order, but we just rolled up to the store as is and were able to come away with a half-dozen ($14?) yeasty noms. The flavors weren't particularly succinct -- a bit softer on the palate, you could say, but also not as sickeningly sweet as fellow Beiler's. Prob won't proactively return unless I'm craving donuts. Guess I'll be back next week then! read more

I woke up super early with a couple friends and made the 8:30am walk to try Dottie's for the first time! I kept forgetting the donuts are vegan, but they are genuinely a bit lighter than your average donut! I recommend mixing classics with deluxes; I wish we picked a classic glazed. We ended up eating them in Clark Park, and it was a great start to the day! A little breakdown: lemon poppy: 3/5 pleasant but artificial tasting cinnamon sugar: 4/5 cookie butter: 5/5 apple fritter: 3/5 too sweet and too much frosting read more

Kind of hidden behind a tree, so if you don't see it, keep looking! All vegan donuts but you'd never know. Super cute wall paintings, and a cute vibe in general. Tried a cinnamon sugar donut and a chocolate pistachio donut and shared with my mom (not vegan and she loved them anyway). Pleasant staff, reasonable prices considering the donuts are specialty, appeared clean. We found street parking without hassle (Tuesday afternoon) read more

Love!! How I was able to find a vegan donut place while I was visiting in Philadelphia! The donuts here are absolutely beautiful and you can tell they're made with a beautiful vision! I REALLLYYY wanted to like these but I must say they weren't very good :( I'm very spoiled in California with many vegan donuts shops so maybe that's why I didn't enjoy these very much. Basically, all the donuts were very plain and the one I was most excited for, the Boston creme, was very bland and not sweet at all. The creme inside was so flavorless :( I was eating it in the car on the way to my next destination very sad. The texture of all the donuts was like stale bread very disappointing. read more

Be warned: they're open til 3 but close once they sell out! I really wanted to try yesterday's special but they sold out before 1pm! (for reference, yesterday was a Sunday and maybe they sell out quicker on weekends.) I got there today and was able to try a Thai tea donut. It was really good, but I got all the Thai tea flavor from the glaze and wished there was more of it in the donut itself so the Thai tea flavor was more prominent overall. I'd come back to try other specialty flavors! Also - they're currently doing no cash so keep that in mind for payment! read more

Yummy donuts and friendly service! Dottie's was a consistent "treat yo self" treat during the pandemic. Their donuts happen to be vegan, but they don't slack on quality and flavor. Their menu changes often so there is something new to try, but they also have some standard flavors always available. The only potential downside is falling in love with a special flavor and having to wait until they make it again! read more
