dot donuts — Restaurant in Vancouver

We went to Dot on a Saturday and arrived at 10:51am to exactly 8 donuts left- 2 Rice Krispies (vanilla frosting with cereal on top) and 6 cinnamon Persian (orange frosting with sprinkles). So I guess we get two choices? I was not impressed.

And four other parties came in also looking for a donut when I noticed that some people were picking up orders from the back. The person was apologetic and gave me a magnet with their number to call ahead the night before for a pickup. So that was nice. But that’s not how I want donuts, having to order a day ahead or get up at 5:30am.

The cinnamon Persian was ok - cinnamon roll with frosting on top, but the Rice Krispies on the cereal donut were stale, sticky and hard. I had to pick them off just to eat it. The donuts are not bad themselves but a little too dense for me.

They don’t serve espresso or lattes, paid $2.60 each for two 16oz drip coffees. We’ll probably give them one more try earlier in the morning but we love Angel’s donuts on 1st St and they’ve figured out how to have 20 flavors of fresh donuts available all day until midnight.

It seems like this place is run on a shoestring and for the goal of running down to zero stock by noon rather than to serve customers. It’s a bummer.

What’s the loss in tossing 15 donuts if no one comes? You plan based on daily demand and keep 20 plain or glazed on hand that you can top with sprinkles or chocolate glaze in a second or give away at the end of the morning. Winchell’s figured this out years ago- I...

You guys totally sucked. I came in around 12pm hoping that I’d get a couple of donuts for my late morning breakfast but they’re all sold out and they aren’t even making any more donuts TWO HOURS before closing! NO EXCUSE! I was told that this place has best donuts and I was hoping to get some good experience but I didn’t. I had to drive all around the town off 4th plain and mill plain streets to see if I can find any other donut place that is close to where I live but there are none! You guys are pretty mug only donut shop that is actually very close to where I live! I just won’t drive another side of town to get Krispy Kreme because it’s too far from where I live! I would not recommend this place to anyone if they’re looking for a late morning breakfast! I would give it a...

Moving from Toronto, Canada, our family has been on the hunt for some good donuts....no, great donuts. After attempting to buy donuts twice and met with closed doors, finally got in early enough today and picked up 6. Cake donut with cinnamon sugar, blueberry jelly donut, salted caramel, Bavarian cream, apple fritter and classic chocolate raised. These have been the best donuts we've had so far in this area and will definitely be back. One of the things we loved about them was that they aren't sickeningly sweet like much of baked goods are. Nice balance of flavour, nice texture and great selection. It's not Timmies, but we'll definitely...
