    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Best vegan donuts I've ever had !!! Only issue is I went back twice to get more and they were sold out HOURS before they actually close to go early if you want to get any.

    Tiramisu eclair donut
    Emil G.

    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

    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.

    This is a vegan donut place but first and foremost this is a donut place! The donuts here are delicious! My 15-year-old that complains about the taste of anything-vegan (I mean she's fifteen, complaining is her love language) chooses these donuts over any others. The flavors are unique, the inside is moist and delicious and they are vegan! Try them! Vegan or not!

    Selection of donuts. All were great and cost around $3 each. The Boston Creme was great.

    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!

At first, I was worried we would only be able to get bar seating since neither of us put in a reservation. Luckily, the wait staff was able to seat us at a booth as long as we finished by 8pm---perfect! We weren't super hungry, but we were able to share one of the appetizers and get dishes for each of us. The appetizer we got was the rutabaga fondue, with pretzel bread and pickled veggies. It was an intriguing dish and the pickled veggies added an interesting tang. For my entree, I got the grilled tofu with kanzuri glaze, okinawa potato, sunchoke miso butter, fancy radishes, and shiso. The presentation was very much on point! For the two of us, our entire meal was around $80. A great experience from start to finish!

Brought out new clean plates a few times and explained everything as it was brought out. The favorites on the current menu for me were the beet salad, sweet potato, stuffed pepper, and mushroom.

For the cavatelli, the biquinho peppers were new to me and gave a unique flavor and texture with the pop. As a big fan of ras el hanout spice mix, I wished it had more strength on the cauliflower plate. Every course was fresh, light, and most had multiple layered flavors to excite your tastebuds. Some amazing flavors and combinations by the chefs. Some of the sauces were exceptionally clever and the presentation and colors really enhanced the experience. All around great dinner, thanks.
