I LOVE Dottie's so much. I make a trip up from DE every few months to get a box of Vegan donuts and baked goods. The selection is always amazing (check the Instagram for daily flavors) on the weekends the speciality flavors can go pretty quick. The Apple fritter, Cosmic Brownie, and Cinnamon Roll are staples that are a must! The speciality donuts are always my favorite go to. Don't miss Dottie's! Grab a bag of their house brew coffee by Elixer Coffee. They have bagels with cream cheese and coffee drinks. Parking can be a little tricky, south street typically has parking making it a quick walk and convenient to visit other cool local shops and spots.

Love their seasonal flavors and the donuts and are delicious. Not too oily and nice and airy.

My partner said the crème brûlée donut was a bit bland but they would be interested in trying their other flavors since they all looked good.

Very light, like eating diet donuts. Destroyed the blueberry matcha donut(performative man style)

We got the brown sugar rosemary (outstanding) and vanilla sprinkles (a classic). Enjoyed them both!

I'm not a vegan, but these donuts were incredible! Probably the best cinnamon bun I've ever had and some exceptional donuts, too. The staff was great too. I will definitely be coming back when i have a chance. Highly recommended!
We love Dottie’s - I bring my 4 year old here once a week for a special breakfast date. Donuts are always amazing - great mix of basic options and a rotating cast of creative flavors. Folks behind the counter are always kind and accommodating.
It’s become a special tradition and there’s even a great little playground right across the street.
I absolutely love Dottie’s Donuts in South Philly! Even though they’re not the closest location to me, they are always my go-to. I usually order through Grubhub, but I like to call ahead first to see what’s available for the day and the staff never disappoints. They’re consistently kind, helpful, and always happy to give great recommendations.
The donuts are fresh, creative, and absolutely delicious every single time. You can tell they really care about the quality and customer experience. The team here is truly one of a kind, and they’re a big part of why I keep coming back. Highly recommend!

Recent (now twice), I walked to Dottie’s on South 6th St only to find it closed during normal business hours. Today (6/6/2025, National Donut Day), since it’s located in the city again, I decided to walk and arrived by 10:45 a.m. only to find the store closed again with a note on the door out of donuts. Going forward, I highly recommend calling before making a trip. Worth the trip if they’re open but seems to become more frequent.

Meh. Nothing to write home about. Definitely not worth $3.
