50 Best Donuts in Philadelphia

“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.“

“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.“

“This place is a step below heaven! The pound cakes or bars, as they call them, are incredible to the pallid! We only get down to their store maybe once every few years! It’s always a delight to STOCK up with $200 worth of cakes (they last forever)!“

“First time visiting federal donuts, must admit the name is off setting strange for a restaurant name. My first impression was that the floors were very sticky I assume it was from the fountain drinks spillage the sitting tables were filled with stains and crumbs...I immediately clean the tables and chairs that I choose. The food was hot delicious and flavorful I definitely am returning“

“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!“

“I was wating earlier this snowy sunday at south st location. I had an unfortunate moment of having a mild siezure (wich i am prone to having pretty often) the lady on shift that afternoon picked me up cus i had fallen. Gave a complimentary donut and juice! I cant say how much that means to me and made sure my ride picked me up safely. Give that person a raise! Great service. Thanks again.“

“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!“

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

“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 ?“

“Their bagels are freshly made on site....And way more reasonable than the overpriced hipster epicenter across the street.All baked goods are freshly made on site.Their coffee is ok ... Not exactly pour over, but whatever....it's Lancaster Avenue.“

“Wow I can't believe it there's are the best everything I ever ❤️ taste I promise y'all you will be addicted they are so delicious

Dietary restrictions: They have vegan they got whatever you want come down here and taste these amazing donuts then they got some with hot dogs and it's amazing try it can knock it before you try it

Parking: 132 south 11 Street NAB so warm thank you

Kid-friendliness: If you bring your children here to get a donut they going to say mommy please take me back Mommy please take me back“

“My sweetheart and I went here on our second date. The original plan was to meet at Dead King Bread in Manyunk, and then hike in the Wissahickon. Dead King was closed, however, and my sweetheart quickly suggested Roma Cafe as an alternative. I'm ashamed to say that I never knew about this bakery. When I think of Italian bakeries, I typically think of South Philly. This is the real deal. An interior that harkens back to earlier times, and probably owners that harken back to an earlier time!

It was here that I discovered that my sweetheart is extravagant with treats, especially sweets. As a bit of a minimalst, I chose a rather bland biscuit. He chose an array of half a dozen treats, including canolies.

When we eventually made our way to the Wissahickon, we discovered that we had each packed more treats for the hike - cheese, grapes. He brought the most wonderful brie from Trader Joes that was as soft and gooey as if you had baked it in the oven. I noted with approval that he was equipped with a good picnic bag, as was I.

As we walked through the Wissahickon, I was captivated by his friendliness to everyone we passed on the trails, including the dogs.

Everything was delicious, and I appreciated that the canolis were petite in size!“

“I love the vegan donuts!!!“

“They do offer other options than Donuts but I usually come here as my Go To if I'm sick of Dunkin Donuts. These are Korean fried donuts so they might taste better though they're slight expensive. If you're new to this brand, I recommend the Cinnamon Sugar Donuts. They usually come hot so that's a plus if you're having it with coffee.“

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

“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“

“Everything from Frangellis is amazing. Highly recommended.“

“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.“

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

“I’ve been going to this location and ridge Ave since I was a little girl. The donuts alone are amazing but the food is good, the customer service is on point, the prices are cheaper than most around and the wait isn’t long. They stuck with me lol“

“I just came here around 11:30 1/27 and this woman (I already forget her name, so stressed about flying, I think Melissa. I think a higher level employee) made me a traditional cappuccino or Macchiato or whatever. I asked for all foam no milk with my espresso and she made the most beautiful coffee. So professional. 10/5 stars. Great job 👏 great price, especially for airport. I paid $6 for my drink which also had an extra shot.

Duncan needs to raise the limit on how much you can tip on a card because you have people out here giving excellent service.“

“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.“

“I give it a 10/10. Great selection and service. My daughter thought this was such a fun place to visit!“

“These donuts are straight up classic. No newfangled “artisan” donuts for $5 or overhyped vegan whathaveyou’s - just damn good donuts. I got two frosted with sprinkles and now I have my go-to spot. At 1.25 each and reports of good coffee, I’ll be back soon. Super friendly service, too. Cash only.“

“Personally, it is my favorite place to get my fruit smoothies. Very affordable prices for each of their sizes. Prices may change due to Democratic's inflation ??. But for now, their biggest cup is a jumbo size. And it's under $7. Also, love there, Lemon Jelly Donuts. The staff are very friendly and pleasant.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“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 .“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“This place is nice enough and everything comes out right. I just have one issue with this location. WHERE ARE THE CHOCOLATE CHIP MUFFINS?! I never see them at this location and an employee who's been there for 5 months said they have never seen them either. What does this location have against chocolate chip muffins?

Parking: There's plenty of parking although when it's busy, it's busy.“

“Great employees! Very friendly they greet you when you come in and the even joke around. The only thing I had a problem with is the bathroom is the dirtiest bathroom I have ever seen I was really grossed out. So bad I would not even wash my hands in the sink. If it wasn't for the bathroom this Dunkin Donuts would be perfect!“

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

“llSue by no no lb ignitb b bcell phone çall cell“

“Very nice place to eat, stop for coffee or a cold drink...the people here are very nice, they treat you like family when you come in the door. I love the hash browns and my kids love the wake up wraps...just enough for their little hands...I am not a fan of the hot coffee, but the frozen coffee is off the wall..“

“This is the Best DD. They remember what i get everyday and they make my coffee good. Friendly staff.“

“Great customer service!! Very fast“

“I am in this store frequently (they're right by my job and my boss has a Dunkin addiction, lol). Anyway, I love the service here, especially by the manager on the morning, and the malr employees on the afternoons and evenings. The couple of times I have ever had to have them fix a mistake, they did it quickly, and with a minimum of attitude (though both times, it was young women who gave me attitude, the young men were sweet and apologetic). The only thing I would say needs improvement is the lobby needing to be cleaned properly.“

“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.“

“I made an order through the drive thru around noon today and I just wanted to say how amazing the service was! The man at the window, Tristan was amazing. He has such a great personality and helped me with my Dunkin' rewards on the app.

The food is always good at Dunkin', but at other locations the workers are not so nice. I would definitely recommend this location in Morrell Plaza. They have 2 places to order at the drive thru for quick service, and they have workers like Tristan who love their job and help to brighten your day!

I got the loaded hashbrowns, egg white and veggie omelette bites, and a turkey sausage wake-up wrap. all delicious!“

“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?“
