wow!!! I have been coming to dots for several years and it's always been the same good ole cupcake ! Never disappoints. I just love their frostings and the cake part . Delicious will come again soon
The food is delicious and generous in portions. I got the bento box thinking I would end up taking half of my meal home, which I did...and it was already packaged so cutely! The service is good, and overall the cafe gives off a happy, cute vibe. There is a small parking lot shared with two other businesses. When I arrived for lunch on Saturday, it was full so we parked in the adjoining neighborhood. However, when we left, there were seven open spaces. I guess timing is everything!
Love this place! First of all, cupcakes!!!! But they do have breakfast and lunch food as well. And cupcakes!!!! Ambiance is so cute! Great place to meet up with the girls but I've taken my bf who likes the food (could care less about the cute decor though - hmph). Prices are reasonable and service is good. Cupcakes!
This is a new favorite breakfast joint with my boyfriend. We have been here a few times. This is right by Yang Chow in a tiny plaza. They have limited free parking. I never knew Dot's have a cafe. What a wonderful place to get a cupcake and have breakfast. Service is amazing, breakfast sandwich is too die for and cupcakes are so yummy. What are you waiting for? You must come check this place out
A nice neighborhood cafe that is great for brunch. This restaurant is decorated warmly, and is a wonderful place to hang around while getting some good food. The only thing is their lunch menu started at 12pm. So when we got there at 11:30am, we still have to order the breakfast menu. The servers are kind and greeted everyone with a great smile. The avocado toast that I ordered is fresh and tasty. I didn't order their famous cup cake. But I did see a lot of people came in for take out order of cupcake. They must be pretty good.
Finally dined inside and it was as beautiful as I thought it would be! I found a parking spot pretty easily. I loooove the floral wall paper and other floral decor. They have the prettiest water station! There is a range of food to choose from. I decided to try the waffle with meat option so I could get both savory and sweet! I also sampled my friend's quinoa bowl (that sausage was definitely a turkey sausage and doesn't compare to the bacon hehe). Will definitely come back and try pastries and their coffee. It's sucha great ambiance!
Dots is located at a busy intersection and they have an assortment of cupcakes. We decided to brunch due to the proximity of the location. Ordered the Breakfast Burrito and French Toast. The Ultimate Breakfast Burrito is stuffed with Guac, Bacon, Sausage, Hash Brown, Cheese, and Egg. Very filling and decent. They pair it with a Habernero Sauce and a Jalapeño. The place is spacious and clean. They have their utensils and water as self service. Had to try their passion fruit filled Vanilla Cupcake. It was not bad.
The latest cupcake I tried from here was the cute little puppy one, which appeared to be a frosted muffin at first but WOW it was a cupcake with such a unique taste and was so good! It had chocolate chips in it and was so moist and crumbly (in a good way), that I assumed it was like one of those deliciously-horrible-for-you muffins you can buy in packs of 2 at the grocery store. Despite the identical texture to one of those muffins, it was in fact a cupcake! I wish I could identify the secret ingredient. It wasn't supposed to be a flavored cupcake beyond chocolate chip, but it had such a unique taste to it. Something sweet that I couldn't identify, but was so tasty!
