Donuts are a well-loved sweet treat and Philly is home to plenty of incredible donut shops. But where do you go if you’re lactose intolerant, vegan, or just want to keep your desserts dairy free? 


Dottie’s Donuts has you covered. Some people may have a preconceived idea that vegan equates to less delicious. But believe me, these donuts are lacking nothing in the tasty department and the flavors are pretty creative too! 


Check out one of the latest seasonal chef’s specials: s’Mores pumpkin cookie dough. It has marshmallow glaze, gingersnaps, chocolate drizzle, and a scoop of pumpkin chip cookie dough. Is your mouth watering yet?  


When it comes to their everyday selection, Dottie’s has everything from Boston-cream filled, to matcha, and even lemon glaze.  


The best part? Dottie’s stays open until they sell out. But this does mean you’ll want to stop in before noon before all your favorites are gone.  


Check out the delicacies at Dottie’s three locations on Springfield Ave, S 6th Street, and Rochelle Ave.
