Though there’s nothing wrong with a fresh glazed donut from Krispy Kreme or a strawberry-roasted confection from Dunkin’ Donuts, why settle when you can enjoy unique selections from some of Philadelphia’s most delicious donut shops?
Federal Donuts
A Philly institution, Federal Donuts operates five locations throughout the city, serving “fancy”-style cake donuts and fresh, made-to-order donuts dusted with a choice of cinnamon brown sugar, strawberry lavender and vanilla spice. In addition to fancy varieties and hot-and-fresh donuts, the donut shop sells delectable fried chicken with seasonings like coconut curry and glazes like honey ginger. Arrive before 11 a.m. if you want to try a unique, flavorful fancy option like grapefruit brulee, chocolate peanut butter and blueberry mascarpone.
Beiler’s Doughnuts
Located in Reading Terminal Market, Beiler’s is known for its impressive selection of authentic, homemade donuts from the Pennsylvania Dutch. Patrons can choose from up to 40 varieties showcased in a drool-worthy display, including peanut butter crème, coconut custard and chocolate dipped cake.
Undrgrnd Donuts
A food truck dedicated to donuts, Undrgrnd Donuts creates a rotating selection of flavorful combinations while on the go around the city. Popular choices include The Homer, with vanilla glaze, raw sugar and chocolate bacon chunks, and Wake Up, featuring espresso dust sprinkled on chocolate glaze with a cream swirl on top. Donut enthusiasts can find the food truck in popular tourist attractions like Love Park.
Frangelli’s Bakery
Frangelli’s in South Philadelphia is one of the city’s favorite shops for fresh donuts, using an award-winning recipe the shop has had since 1947 to create delicious confections. Classics include glazed and chocolate, while stand-out items are the Frannoli, a fresh donut shell filled with the bakery’s special cannoli cream and tiny chocolate chips, and ice cream donuts with your favorite flavor of ice cream sandwiched between a donut.
Dottie’s Donuts
A newcomer to the Philly donut scene, Dottie’s was launched about a year ago by a duo devoted to creating delicious vegan donuts you wouldn’t even know are vegan. Owners Matt Quinn and Jeff Poleon develop extremely fresh donuts by the hundreds at their commercial kitchen space in West Philly and sell them out of coffee shops and cafes all over the city. Unique flavors have included strawberry basil, matcha pistachio, hibiscus, crunchy peanut butter and maple pecan.
