Federal Donuts

Philadelphia


Tucked behind a faded red, white and blue awning are these amazing doughnuts: specialty flavors include blueberry-lavender or strawberry cheesecake, with light cake-like crumb and no oily aftertaste. In the morning, the menu is doughnuts and quality coffee. After 11am comes the super-crispy Korean-style fried chicken.

There are several other branches across town including in University City.
