Dottie’s Coffee Lounge

Went here for the first time today. Two absolutely rude women working the register at the counter. The woman who took my order acted like I was asking her construct a skyscraper. One of the wonderful staff members handed me my food and simply stated «here». I ordered a bagel and cream cheese. The bagel was dripping in three pounds of liquefied hummus like cream cheese when I took it out of the bag.
I’m originally from Pittsfield. I grew up here and I have more roots here than these two young hipster wanna be hippie employees. I currently live in downtown Philadelphia that has hundreds of coffee shops. I’ve never had even one experience like the one I had at the illustrious «Dotties». Do yourself a favor and go to Cumberland’s Farms on 1^st street instead of this place.

If you enjoy a perfect cup of coffee: this is your place! Pair it with a delicious sandwich of local ingredients and you’re golden!

coffee good, service is slow and the folks behind the counter have an attitude. Food was decent though

We wanted breakfast on the run today and not many was open on our way to jiminey peak so went into this cute store on a quiet block… inside we found a cool coffee sign and counter and tables. To our surprise the latte was good and all our egg breakfast sandwiches either on whole wheat, homemade scallion biscuit or wrap were all excellent. The only table service is they will bring to your table after you order at counter.

The first thing I do when exploring a new city is to find the coffee spot. Now that I’m a local, it’s even clearer to me why Dottie’s is that spot. Perfect lattes, delicious organic food selection, rock star service and a really lively selection of fun pop-​up events. But Dotties is more than that. It’s a living, breathing organism of an evolving community. It’s the heartbeat of North Street. A place for dreaming and scheming, lively debate, laptop battleship opuses and quiet corners for reading, reflection, whispering, laughing, lounging. It’s where everything happens. It’s a reason to move to place and want to be a part of it.

Loved the green tea latte! The place is really cute and the food is good. We go every time we come in from Chicago and enjoy it each time. Can’t wait to come back.

Food is pretty good but not impressive, the BST were ok. The latte’s are not that great. I love the décor and that’s probably the only thing I loved. For 2 people breakfast we paid around 40 $. It’s pretty expensive for 2 coffee and 2 sandwiches

We were looking for a breakfast spot. I found this on Unilocal and it looked perfect. Based on the menu, just my type of place. We walked in and I loved it. I loved the vibe. My boyfriend commented that nothing ‘hip’ like this ever existed when he lived there.
We walk up and place our order.
I order a cup of coffee (to note, they had no dark roast, so I got the medium roast, which was still ‘robust’ and good). And I order an egg biscuit sandwich. My boyfriend orders a cup of coffee and another type of sandwich (I believe it may have been the Climbing tree). I’m given a total of $ 19 and change. I was a bit surprised as it seemed a tad high, but ok. I would’ve loved to have received a receipt, but I didn’t. I tip and we grab our number and sit down. Shortly, they call out that the coffee is ready. We walk up. There’s only one cup of coffee as it was the last of the pot. I grab it and ask for the soy milk. I walk away and see that something isn’t right. The soy milk isn’t blending, but rather it’s kinda curdling up. Meanwhile my boyfriend is up at the counter, just standing there, waiting for his coffee. He receives no coffee so he awkwardly sits back down. We begin to wonder if they got both of our coffees. Though at almost $ 20, I would hope so. He goes back up and asks about his coffee and they poured him one from the new batch. My coffee wasn’t drinkable due to the odd consistency in it. When our food is brought out, my boyfriend says something about my coffee. I say I didn’t know if the soy was bad. She says it must just be the acid in the coffee, which happens at the end of the pot. She pours me a fresh cup and taking her word it was the coffee, I pour the soy milk again. and stop immediately as the same weird consistency happens again. So I give up and just fill the rest of it with creamer. Then upon looking at my sandwich I see it has bacon on it. I go up to the counter and tell them that I’m vegetarian and I did not order it with bacon. Per their menu, it is an egg/​cheese sandwich. You have to pay a $ 1 more for bacon. I wasn’t asked if I wanted to add bacon, but I’d bet that I paid for it. I don’t recall being given an apology (and wasn’t given a $ 1 back either.) I was brought out a new sandwich. The biscuit tasted like it was missing an important ingredient in the dough (was I given gluten free?) and it was all biscuit. (I don’t recall seeing any scallions in it or any cheese) It was about 2 inches thick of biscuit and about ¼ to maybe ¹⁄₃ inch of egg. It was very much a let down and I didn’t enjoy it. The good news is that my boyfriend liked his sandwich!
They have great reviews and I’m going to assume/​hope I just caught them on a bad day?

Welcoming, cozy, affordable coffee shop that has an eclectic menu. Serving breakfast all day, every day, as well as wraps, salads and soups. Homemade. All organic produce. Many vegan options.
They are fanatical about coffee but I loved my cup of Fire Cider tea… A dose of Fire Cider in hot water giving me a nice heart dose of raw apple cider vinegar, honey, citrus, onions, ginger, horseradish, garlic and horseradish and habanero pepper.
I have also been here on Sunday morning and there has been live music. Otherwise, great tunes and comfy seating await you.
When in Pittsfield definetly pay Dottie’s a visit.

From the moment we walked in, we loved the vibe and atmosphere. Cute rustic décor with very clean feel. Amazing, delicious, fresh coffees and food. Highly recommend this gem.

Just what the area needs! A delicious, funky and chill coffee joint. I have been craving a homemade biscuit sandwich and Dotties delivered. The biscuit was perfect, the bacon was crispy and thick, the cheese had huge flavor and the overall flavor profile was out of this world. My wife, who has celiac, got the naked bowl. She was soooo happy! Perfectly made over easy egg, beans, rice and delicious avocado slices on top. We also had 2 iced Matchas after we had the opportunity to bump into the amazing owner, who was drinking one. She was sweet, professional and helped us understand the allergy situation. She was so thoughtful and kind. We will forsure return to Dotties!
