Dot Donuts

Donuts and fall just seem to go together in my book. Whether it is enjoying a fresh donut dipped in hot chocolate, with a mug of apple cider or just a cold glass of milk, a Dot Donut makes the combo complete.
Dot Donuts is located in the Fisher’s Landing area at 1825 SE 164th, Vancouver. Next time you head over the river be sure and make a trip to the bright and cheery Dot Donuts. Their fresh, fun donuts are definitely worth the trip!
With thirty years of baking experience Stan and Nyla WIlson know what they are doing! Dot Donuts has an amazing selection of donuts which are all made fresh daily and fried in a non-trans fat oil.
They have a wonderful variety of out of the ordinary flavors – I tried a root beer bar, much more interesting than the typical maple bar! You’ll also find cotton candy, passion fruit, bubblegum and lots more fun flavors!
There were lots of fun and bright colors too. A bright green donut is much more fun to eat than a boring brown chocolate one!
I also loved the S’mores donut. How cute is that!
They of course have all the regular varieties of donuts – yeast raised, cake, old fashioned, but have just added a fun twist to many of them with flavor and color! I couldn’t leave without my all time favorite donut, an old fashioned, and it was wonderful!
So next time you have a donut craving head on over the river to Dot Donuts. The service was friendly and helpful and the best part is the donuts are yummy!
