    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    sugar abound

    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.

    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.

    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.

    The best vegan donuts I've ever had! They are fluffy and light and have a great variety of flavors. Our favorites were the Oreo, strawberry, glazed and matcha. Check out their Instagram to see their daily flavors. The coffee here is also great! Highly recommend getting some donuts and coffee and walking over to Clark Park.

    A dozen variety donuts.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    What is the name of a only vegan restaurant. Totally raw served fresh only a few days a week with cooking classes on raw vegan dishes up in the germantown area of philly?

    Hey, Twana! You are probably thinking of All The Way Live, on Germantown Ave. near Walnut Lane in Germantown. Their food is delicious!

    This place? A whole vibe. Half mini-mart, half café, all flavor. I originally came through on a Too…read moreGood To Go haul, and now I'm here constantly--sometimes for a deal, sometimes just 'cause I need it in my life. Let's start with the mini-mart side, aka my happy place. They carry these crack-level addictive injera chips in rosemary, mild, and spicy--YES, I've tried them all, and YES, they're all elite. I keep saying I'll pace myself, but nah. Also obsessed with their zero-sugar digestive cookies?? I don't even know where else to find these, and honestly, I don't wanna know. Alif is my plug now. On the café side, the hot Ethiopian food is consistently . My all-time fave is the yellow split pea dish (Kik Alicha)--so flavorful, creamy, and comforting, like a warm hug from someone's grandma. It comes with two glorious rolls of injera, soft and tangy, perfect for scooping up every last bit. If you know, you know. There's a cute little seating nook to the right of the register, plus a few outdoor tables for soaking up some sun with your sambusa. The staff? Super quick and helpful whenever I ask questions--they always know what's up and don't mind me geeking out over new snacks. Also came by during the Dollar Stroll and tried their Ethiopian wraps, and--whew. How do I describe them? Imagine rich, spicy, savory magic wrapped in injera and handed to you for ONE DOLLAR. I was shook. It's no wonder I've been back like five times... and probably forgot to check in at least half of those visits. Oops. ‍ TL;DR: Alif Brew is my comfort café + snack haven rolled into one. If you haven't been, GO. And grab me a bag of spicy injera chips while you're at it.

He was more than happy to tell us about all the stuff that he has on the menu, what his recommendations are, and some stories behind it. He was talking to us so much that the people who came in behind us left! It's great that they have a lot of vegan options, including the lassis, which is a complete surprise, and the food was all really good. I ordered crazy chaat, a cardamom lassi, and the chicken naan pizza. Pizza was definitely interesting and flavorful, but I think it doesn't quite hold up that well on the naan bread. Perhaps a bit stronger on the flavor than I was looking for, and I generally don't do too much dairy, so not sure I'll get that again, but I would definitely try some other things, including another lassi. Just about two tables inside, and then a few outside, so not a whole lot of space to eat there, but the food is good. I'll try it again sometime! I think they have a KOP location too!

We ordered Paneer Tikka Masala, Shahi Paneer, and Garlic Naan, which was quite possibly the best garlic naan we've ever had. Not only was it covered in garlic and butter, but other herbs as well. The Shahi Paneer was also a delicious, rich, creamy sauce, and the owner even custom-made a wonderful hot sauce for me from the Paneer Tikka Masala that was so delicious that I took the extra home. Thanks for such an unexpectedly delicious experience!

Small batch stuff from all over Lat Am, in a variety of roast levels from blonde to espresso.
