50 Best Donuts in Philadelphia

“Absolutely delicious, we will be back!!!“

“Dottie’s Donuts are the best donuts in Philadelphia. I’ll take the Pepsi Challenge to the crap they sell at Dunkin and I’d pick Dottie’s every single time. They’re quite possibly the greatest donuts in the state of Pennsylvania, which would immediately place them in the state national treasure donut contest. And once Florida is disqualified for not wearing mask, Dottie’s would see the highest standings in the runnin' for greatest donuts, worldwide. Yeah. That good.“

“Had the salted caramel doughnut bc my wife wanted a taste. Caramel is never MY first choice, but it was quite possibly the best pastry I’ve ever eaten.“

“We love it! Kids love the colors and variety of baked goods! Clean and friendly staff!“

“Truly the best pound cake I’ve ever had. This was a hit with the family for Easter- the marble cake with chocolate icing was my personal fav. The girls working were so friendly and welcoming even though the store was super busy! I will definitely be back!!“

“This was a random place for me to visit, but I can see it was fate. The staff is very kind, the food is DELECTABLE, not to mention the very quick customer service. I’d come back over and over again. I’d also highly recommend to others too!“

“Donuts and coffee are amazing! This place ruins my diet but makes me happy! Keep up the good work! :)“

“Staff really are the best family!!! I ad a special request for a cake that was out of the norm. Strawberry shortcake with red velvet cake and mmmmmmm. Literally the best thing I ever had!! Everything in Cafe Roma is amazing! Love love love this bakery!!“

“I stopped by yesterday and even though they were technically closed, they were kind enough to still let me grab a donut. That level of kindness and customer care really stood out to me. On top of that, the mochi donut was absolutely delicious—soft, chewy, and perfectly sweet. Thank you for going above and beyond, you’ve definitely gained a loyal customer!“

“My daughter was recently diagnosed with a dairy allergy, so coming from non-vegans, these are amazing!“

“Federal Donuts & Chicken on East Market is a true gem for food lovers in Philly. Their crispy fried chicken is perfectly seasoned, juicy, and always hits the spot. The donuts are a delightful treat—made fresh, with creative flavors that change daily. Whether you’re craving savory or sweet, this place has it all. The staff is friendly, the vibe is laid-back, and the food is consistently fantastic. Don’t miss the honey donut with your chicken—pure bliss!“

“Came in after seeing the spot on IG and honestly it’s a pretty good local business with very good prices. Standard bacon egg and cheese on a very good hoagie roll. Soft bread that was lightly toasted and filled with a good amount of what I ordered. The bacon wasn’t overcooked and cooked perfectly to have a little crunch. Sadly they didn’t have any pastries when I went so that was disappointing. Cashier was a no nonsense lady but also nice and got the order down quick. Great prices and will definitely be back more to try more.“

“I rated them very highly based on my previous experiences but they have been closed since last October sadly. They appear to be opening again soon. Has anyone heard anything about when they will open up this location again“

“The best tastes and friendly service is here 👍👌👏“

“Everything from Frangellis is amazing. Highly recommended.“

“Five stars, you may be thinking “why?” especially by the way it looks. The employees of many of the places around there have been going for years, not only are they great for a quick cheap bite, no one has gotten sick, and the service even though is cash only has been great. Great breakfast and lunch sandwiches.“

“my go to coffee shop in center city, super close to work for me as well. coffees always good, so are the donuts. ive only had one food item, a chicken breakfast sandwich, but it was spectacular for how cheap it was (7 dollars i think). the manager, sapphire, is really nice and always has a smile for everyone, the rest of the staff is great too“

“I think that Mochinut was T Cafe which can still be seen in maps but I'm not 100% certain.

Clearly the entrance says Mochinut as does the decor inside so assume that T Cafe is no longer.

Great stop for coffee and Mochinut. The inside of Mochinut is simple and streamlined with plenty of seating. A nice place for a quick break if you have spent time walking the city.

Of course, the Mochinut donuts are delicious and they have a large variety of flavors. The coffee is equally inviting with a large selection of coffee, smoothies and milk teas.

These are served in see-through cans which have aluminum tops with pull tabs - it's so cool! So even if you order an iced milk tea you will need to pull the aluminum tab to open your drink. Needless to say these travel well and look really cool too.

One issue I am sure you will encounter for anyone who has not committed the Mochinut flavors to memory. Namely, the Mochinuts are on display on the side of the counter. It's a very nice display with all of the Mochinut flavors labeled and visible. However you need to order your Mochinut at the front of the counter. They have a small handwritten list of the Mochinut flavors scribbled on a small piece of paper but it's not the same as seeing the Mochinut flavors.

I don't think the staff or owner understands this as when we ordered the person at the register was unwilling to move to the display so we could point to our selection (as everyone in any bakery since the dawn of time has done). Also from a brain perspective you are asking people in this case to switch between the right side (right side) and text (left side) text.

I think they could improve this specific shortcoming and increase speed of taking customers orders, decrease confusion and increase fun.

Maybe they need photos or wax replicas of their Mochinut flavors on the front of the counter, I don't know I'm not here to fix that but just give a short review.

This issue does not however change the wonderful flavor of the Mochinut or coffee so Mochinut is definitely worth a stop if you have not tried it.“

“We ordered a Federal Donuts wedding cake for our big day, and it was an great choice! We loved having a variety of flavors, which offered something different and fun for our guests.

The delivery and setup were easy and stress-free, letting us focus on enjoying our celebration. It made for a memorable centerpiece that added a whimsical touch to our wedding. I highly recommend a Federal Donuts donut wedding cake for any couple looking for a wedding cake alternative!“

“Had the salted caramel doughnut bc my wife wanted a taste. Caramel is never MY first choice, but it was quite possibly the best pastry I’ve ever eaten.“

“Very good coffee .it's right up there with dunkin As far as taste and quality...maybe even better.The prices are very reasonable and much cheaper than Dunkin so that's definitely a plus. Workers are friendly and respectful....This is my go to coffee spot , To top it off the donuts are actually better than dunkin and the breakfast sandwiches blows Dunkin out of the game ...Its pretty safe to say I will definitely be starting my mornings here prolly for a long time.“

“I've tried a few other dunkin in the neighborhood on uber eats and the order would be wrong or sandwich not cooked/melted all the way. I finally found this store and saw 5 stars so decided to try them. I was so glad I did. I've ordered quite a few times and it's always right, delicious and fresh! I decided to stop in today and every last staff was friendly and warm. I asked for the manager to let her know I order on uber and coming in just showed me even more why they deserve 5 stars ?. Keep up the great work!“

“First time having a MOCHI DONUT. Flippin’ awesome, and couldn’t recommend them enough if you’re a pastry lover.“

“I was looking for a different donut shop close to my office and tried this out. The donuts are very good and fresh. They are a nice size but not heavy cake like donuts. Very light and airy on the inside. The variety could've been better but it was my first visit so maybe they change it up. It's like a corner store/bodega so don't go looking for atmosphere or anything fancy. The service is friendly, the price is more than fair, and the donuts are great.“

“I come here almost every morning to get a smoothie before going to work and it’s always so good . Affordable prices for the baked goods and fruit . The ladies are always so nice. I recommend trying their smoothies no joke . And it’s clean when you go inside .“

“Very affordable place close to the subway. There is a little bit of a language barrier but their breakfast sandwiches are delicious. They have donuts, pretzels, hot dogs, bagels, breakfast sandwiches ready made, and they will make lunch sandwiches if you call in advance or wait. They will also custom make breakfast sandwiches if you call. Their coffee is decent. I think the quality is very good considering their prices are so low.“

“Steve is awesome! He is very respectful and welcoming to everyone, great coffee fresh donuts and very respectful! I have lived in this neighborhood all my life and Steve and his wife are amazing people, they are very nice, funny, and very respectful! I come here every morning, my son loves this little donut shop, one highlight of his morning is going to see Steve and get his donut and juice!“

“Nice quiet atmosphere with very good service, hospitality, and food.“

“The new guy is so sweet. He’s quick and kind. The food is good. They are quick. I go every morning.

Vegetarian options: Eggs are great. There are muffins and things like that as well.

Wheelchair accessibility: Small ramp out front“

“This spot was the light in the darkness. Late for your flight? Dunkin. Fast, good portions for prices, and nice folk running it. I had a grilled cheese pesto sandwich, 6 piece hash brown (which was wayyy tastier than I expected), and a chocolate Bavarian creme donut. 10 bucks, perfectly reasonable. After a long day, little sleep, and a rush to get something quick before my flight, Dunkin nailed it ?“

“He should be recognized The store in Greenmount Maryland is the nicest store I've ever been in always says thank you have a good day to everyone always great attitudes he says thank you to every customer. He should be recognized by the company. Have a great day and thank you“

“I went here today for the first time and these are the BEST donuts I have ever had in my entire life. They have ALL different kinds of flavors. I was purchasing two dozen for some classmates and I got Boston creme, apple filled glazed, lemon filled glazed, jelly filled powdered, frosted with fruity pebbles cereal on top (amazing), bear claws, chocolate frosted, glazed, pink frosted, with and w/out sprinkles. seriously, they have it all. The price for one dozen is $10 which is solid for just regular donuts, let alone delicious and essentially gourmet donuts. Some shops would price boston creme or fruity pebbles at a premium just because of the cachet.“

“This is my neighborhood Dunkin, I've been going here for years. They've got conscientious, friendly staff, always quick with my order so I'm in, out and on my way. This is the only Dunkin that gets my coffee right every time, no matter who makes it. My daughter got me a Mother's Day treat from here recently, everything was perfect, as usual.“

“The Dunkin’ right off 95 in South Philly is my go-to. The staff here is super friendly, and I can honestly say they never mess up my order, which is rare these days. Whether I'm grabbing a quick coffee or something more, they get it right every time.

Plus, the spot’s pretty convenient—right near the Taco Bell, so if you're coming off 95, it’s an easy stop. It’s a solid Dunkin', and they keep things moving fast, even during the morning rush.“

“Best DD around. Friendly staff too. Its a tiny DD but its huge in service with a smile. Way to go Academy Plaza Dunkin Donuts !!! ����“

“Their Tarragon Chicken Salad is to die for. My daughter used to work there and I miss her bringing me home lots of yummy bread. The staff are great and were willing to cut my roll the way my daughter used to. Special shout out to Dawn. See her Thursday through Sunday.“

“Great customer service!! Very fast“

“Anytime I am in here they are running around like a well oiled machine. The workers are very courteous at the register and food and coffee comes out quick and it’s always made well. Also my wife and I drink midnight coffee and they always make it fresh!!“

“Their coffee and donunts are really good 👍“

“I had a nice time at dunkin' donuts this morning. My iced coffee was good but one thing that was bothering me was that it was extremely crowded inside of the dunkin' donuts and the employees were taking orders like one person's order every 5 minutes or“

“nice Dunkin Donuts.they treat me good always here..“

“The corn muffins W/ butter ? and I spotted some hushbrowns stuffed with cheese, Insha-Allah I'll try some next week, they looked de-lish ? . On the conner of Wayne & Chelten Ave. over in Germantown, the drive-thru is jammed by 6:30AM , walk in is faster. I usually make my own breakfast after, I feed the cats that is ?“

“I would give it a 5 star for the great staff and the fact that my coffee is always good, but why do they wait until I get to the drive thru to make my on the go order? Isnt the point of the on the go order to save time?“

“if their customer service sucks, don't support or ask for a cashier with customer etiquette“

“Food and service are always good“
