Okie Dokie is a must-visit for anyone looking for gluten-free and vegan treats in Philly!…read more This completely gluten-free donut shop offers more than just donuts, and they rotate their selection while always having three vegan donut options available. We tried the chocolate donut with chocolate glaze and the lavender strawberry donut, and both were incredibly delicious. I honestly couldn't believe they were gluten-free! The vegan donuts I chose are more cake-style, so they're a little denser rather than light and airy, but I wouldn't have it any other way. The woman at the register was also so kind and took the time to tell me about the other vegan options they had available. They have a convenient walk-up window, although there's no indoor seating. We should've gone back for more, but next time I'm in Philly, I'm definitely stocking up!!!!

Finally made it to Okie Dokie yesterday after hearing they had gluten-free donuts…read more What I thought was: "Oh cool, a place with gluten-free donuts." What I learned was: "Oh...it's an entire gluten-free facility with sandwiches, baked goods, and bread made fresh on-site." Now back to these donuts: * Coconut Cake (top left) * Apple Fritter (top right) * Lemon Glaze (bottom) I went gluten-free in 2010, before I discovered Krispy Kreme, so I have never experienced the joy of a hot donut. Until yesterday. The Lemon Glaze is cooked to order and served warm, and I am prepared to make the bold statement that it may be the best donut I've ever had in my life. Yup, I said what I said. The Apple Fritter gave me serious coffee roll vibes, which is something I've missed terribly, so that was an unexpected win. And all three passed the ultimate gluten-free test: they didn't taste or feel gluten-free. Honestly, I'd recommend this place even if you're not gluten-free. The fact that I left talking about the donuts instead of the gluten-free part tells you everything you need to know.

I ordered the classic egg sandwich. It's a simple sandwich, but it was fluffy and executed really well. The BIG pancake is a must, and so is the latke. I'd skip the roe next time, it was a bit too fishy for my taste. One heads-up: the Fishtown location tends to have a line forming on weekend mornings, so plan accordingly. Overall ambiance was great. The coffee is excellent!

It's inspired by Gene Wilder. There are a few things to learn here, and I definitely left a little smarter.

The restaurant is small in that way where no matter where you stand to wait you're in someone's way. It's hard to get a table, so don't go expecting to sit down. The service felt kind of off? It was almost as if everyone working was having a bad day, but there was still the sense that isn't always the case. I would retry Middle Child, but I don't know that it's a must.

This isn't something I want to rush back for but it is nice to have the chance to appreciate an unusual to me British delicacy since it's not really feasible for me to move to Britain. I only knew about them because I thoroughly read their website! I am finally picking up that their crisp bag becomes an occasional special and always a winner. Of the ones I have casually run into, when they add duck sounds the most delectable to me (it is also the only crisp bag I actually had of theirs so far lol). It's hard to find this quality level of British food and novelties anywhere else that isn't the UK and Stargazy is it. There is a reason they sell apparel with their name on it- bc being a part of their branding is just that cool. Staff is always great as usual. Look for their food events if you can as I think those sound fun too!

We really enjoyed our visit here and were lucky to get a table since we didn't have reservations…read more We arrived near the beginning of the dinner crowd on a Monday or else we probably would have been turned away as it filled up fast. The inside is fairly basic but not in a cheap way. Service was a bit slower due to how busy they were, but it wasn't bad. The dishes that come out of the kitchen look like they could be served in an upscale restaurant. My orange chicken was great, but you do need to order rice separately. My husband's beef and onion had a LOT of onion, and much of it was still on the plate when he finished. He enjoyed it though. One of my sons ordered a chicken dish that was just a large plate of chicken pieces with nothing else, not even a sauce. We both thought it was too dry and boring. My second son had lo mein though and really liked it. The scallion pancakes were also some of the best I've had in a long time. They were thick and not too greasy with a crisp outside and soft center. I just wish they had more scallions/flavor. The prices were higher than what we are used to, but they're probably in line or even lower end for a big city. Four of us ate for $100.

These are not your average donuts -- they are next-level. There was a line, but it moved quickly and was 100% worth the wait. EPIC donuts. No notes.

I got the Eggs In Purgatory which reminded me of Shakshuka but with a little bit of spice. It's served with some cuts of sourdough as well. It could do with either larger slices of bread as I had to ask for more bread (2 pieces about the same size) and it is a charge. We weren't told that it would be a charge and only noticed after the bill came but it is what it is. I noticed other tables that ordered the dish also had to ask for more bread. The shrimp and grits were very flavorful and a nice hearty portion. There were a good amount of shrimp to eat with each bite of grits.

The staff was friendly and responded quickly when I wrote them an email a few days before that. I wish there was seating but the place lends itself to take out only.

Truly a food heaven for those who need it.
