Pretty good - Edit
Pretty good donuts. Really great and flavorful cold brew. Donuts have lots of fun flavors, but are a little too sugary (like, literal cane sugar taste) and a little on the expensive side. Would be nice if they also sold sandwiches like this vegan donut shop I like in Arizona, Sojo’s. Or like Grindcore around the corner.

Cons: Sugary

Mmmm… Doughnuts - Edit
Dotties is a staple of the community. Grab a doughnut and go watch the dogs in Clark park.
Read moreMy only complaint is that the doughnuts seem to have gotten quite a bit more expensive and smaller over the years.

GREAT Quality Donuts 🍩💗 - Edit
Good service and even better donuts. Had their orange creamsicle donut… it was amazing! Not too sweet, had a wonderful orange natural flavor, fresh and soft. Was great. The filling was PERFECT; slightly salty?. It was a wonderful balance. It was perfect! Apple fritter is a must! Boston crème is a must have classic and the cinnamon roll was tasty!

Amazing selection - Edit
WOW - from Boston cream to glazed with sprinkles, from coffee cake to apple fritters to cinnamon sugar (cake)! We got a dozen and those that made it 24 hours came to Vermont with us, to the delight of our son back home. So fun to choose among all the yummy options!
Read morePros: Reasonably priced for the work of making donuts!, Nice park nearby to eat in, Incredible selection - all vegan
Cons: Boston Creme needed a little more vanilla in cream

Best Donuts EVER! - Edit
After living in Princeton for 3 months, that was the first place that I found with vegan donuts and they were delicious. I would say they are the best donuts I've ever had. I tried the chocolate glazed one and the boston cream. They were not insanely sweet like all the other american desserts. The boston cream filling was super tasty. I loved all about it. I will definitely come back for some more :)
Read morePros: excellent food

Not the decadence I was looking for - Edit
We went in the afternoon, so maybe they were already out of anything "interesting" at that point, but the box of donuts we got was nothing special. Perhaps they are supposed to be healthier and not as loaded with sugar, but they were just okay. Boston cream I straight up disliked, but I've also never had one before or since, so maybe that kind of custard is just not my cup of tea.

heaven for breakfast - Edit
an inside source told me that there’s no old lady named dottie making the donuts everyday. that’s my only complaint. otherwise their unique selection of flavors make dotties donuts and absolute treat. their pricing is high, for good reason, the process of making donuts more or less veganising them is labor intensive. worth every penny.
Read morePros: all vegan, wide variety of flavors
Cons: expensive

Best donuts!!! - Edit
These donuts are AMAZING! I am vegan and my partner is omni. He picked up these donuts and was impressed that they were vegan. I had followed them for awhile on Instagram and can now see why they have long lines! Their donut selections are very unique. We had a raspberry donut with a small jelly filled pop tart on top, raspberry filled chocolate and raspberry hibiscus. The hibiscus donut was my favorite but they were all delicious! The donut was so soft it melts in your mouth. I will definitely go back!
Read morePros: Many unique flavors , Soft and delicious!

Love it - Edit
Looking for a sweet treat best place in university city to go so far. The only reason I don't give it 5 because I'm sure like most bakeries the pastries from the day before are probably still sold the next morning which is a texture I can taste. PRO TIP come after 12

Satisfying - Edit
I wanted to love dotties donuts, but I purchased a box to bring to my family later in the day, because they are not fully encased in glaze, they were a bit stale and oily by the time we ate them, but still very satisfying! Just make sure you get them fresh!

Underwhelming at best. - Edit
I honestly cannot understand why some people claim these are the “best” donuts. This is objectively wrong. They’re just not that good. All I can think of is that there’s a misguided belief overinflated reviews of vegan places will increase popularity of the diet. The creme filled ones are actually bad. And I say this as a vegan and donut lover.

Always delicious - Edit
Dottie's is a small place, but don't mistake this shop for sub-par. Best donuts I've ever had...even my non-veg friends and family agree! Flavors range from simply classic to off the charts extravagant. Stop in for a dozen on your way to work or go with a friend for a coffee and a sweet treat.
Read morePros: All vegan!, A flavor for everyone, Comes in a pizza box

Donuts worth trying - Edit
I grew up with a family who owned a popular bakery and one of the things they were know for were their donuts. So of course when I went vegan I missed having my donuts. I am always looking for good vegan donuts. Dotties did not disappoint. Better than Dun-Well doughnuts in NYC.

first vegan donut- success!!!!! - Edit
I've been vegan for 1 1/2 years now, and this was the first 100% vegan donut place I've come across. The donuts were just as I remember nonvegan donuts.... delicious and with just the right amount of sugar! Add in a diverse array of choices and BAM! You have an amazing bakery. If you took a nonvegan here and didn't tell them what they were eating was vegan, I'm certain they wouldn't notice.
Read morePros: interesting flavors, good seating, AMAZING Boston Creme
