Dottie's Donuts

"Dottie’s Donuts is not a shop that’s just good for vegan donuts—it’s a donut shop that makes great donuts, period. They sell everything from classic apple fritters to options like the glazed gingerbread that’s topped with a hunk of chocolate-apple spiced cake. Open until they sell out, try to make it there before noon if you want to get your hands on these consistently delicious and fresh doughy rings." - candis mclean

"Make no mistake: Dottie’s Donuts is not a shop that’s just good for vegan donuts. It’s a donut shop that makes great donuts, period. With locations in both West Philly and Center City, they sell everything from classic apple fritters to options like their glazed gingerbread that’s topped with a hunk of chocolate-apple spiced cake. Open until they sell out, try to make it there before noon if you want to get your hands on these consistently delicious and fresh doughy rings." - candis mclean

"Dottie’s, Philly’s first vegan doughnut shop, kicks up the creativity with colorful, unique doughnuts in dairy- and egg-free varieties like Thai tea, matcha chocolate, and cherry pistachio. There are locations in West Philly and Society Hill." - Sarah Maiellano

"Dottie’s Donuts, with locations in University City and Society Hill, doesn’t have as many spots in Philly as Dunkin or Federal Donuts–which might be why the lines outside of their shops are as long as the Apple Store when a new iPhone drops. But with reasonably priced vegan donuts ($3 for filled and $2 for classic and deluxe) that can range from blueberry rosewater with a mini pop tart on top to a subtly cinnamony oatmeal cookie, these airy circles of dough are worth lining up in single file for. The Sixth Street shop opens up early, runs until the mid-afternoon (or when they sell out), and is best used for takeout since they only have a small counter space. Outside of some of the best donuts in town, they also have a menu full of bagels, coffees, espresso drinks, fresh juices, and other beverages." - Candis R. McLean
