Review Federal Donuts - Philadelphia

Jenna McKinney

Gonna be honest, this place holds up to the hype. The donuts are simple cake doughnuts, with interesting and well composed toppings. The strawberry cheese cake was so good. It hit all the right notes. But their more simple donuts, like the chocolate on chocolate, are just as delightful. Specifically, you can tell that they're made with quality ingredients. I like their chicken sandwich. I did think it would be bigger, but other than that, it was good. It was well seasoned and well cooked. Oh! And the fries were great. They were fresh, boardwalk style. A true, can't miss. I do think the menu board should mention the cheese, sauce, and pickles on the sandwich, and maybe use a thinner sliced pickle. But all in all, I'm a fan.

Quite possibly the best donut and chicken place in the city. The fresh donuts are fantastic and so are the artisan donuts. If you’re trying to keep it on the cheaper side, the fresh simple donuts are the way to go. The chicken tenders are amazing, and so are the house sauces that come with. I will always recommend this place for those looking for quality chicken and donuts, and it never lets down.

The place is nice. Atmosphere and service was excellent. It was my first time going to federal donuts. So this review does not compare to any other locations. There was parking outside which was great and there were outdoor seating too. The place was however expensive. I bought three items: the chicken tenders, lavender lemonade and smores donut. S'mores Donut: Cakey. Tastes good but I did not like the cakey texture. It was also $3 for a single donut, so that was expensive. Chicken tenders: The tenders don't look good, but they taste good. They look homemade and tastes good, better than those fast food options. They are crispy. It comes with two sauces. Although there are only 3 tenders, they are filling. Good portion size for a meal. Three tenders were $10.50. Expensive compared to fast food places. Lavender lemonade: Never tried one before. I liked it. Tastes good. $3.75 for a 16oz. Pretty decent. I wont be going back here for donuts, I might for the tenders and drink. They also didn't have hot chocolate even though it is already November, but the server told me that it will be in soon.

This was my second time visiting federal donuts since April 2022 and it was just as good as the first time! The breakfast sandwich is so good and unique! The egg was in a fried patty form along with a pepper relish that is out of this world! I loved the bread they used! Me and my fiancée both got a cinnamon sugar donut that is absolutely delicious! The donut is so moist and prepared to perfection! The coating was just the right amount! The cinnamon sugar donut is probably the best one I have ever had in my life. We also got 3 of their speciality donuts: Baklava, Pralines & Cream, and Lavender London Fog!

These donuts are definitely unique! The flavors change with the seasons, which is nice. Pumpkin was a happy sight for me as autumn just started. As odd as it sounds though, they're too sweet. They're all covered in glaze and then loaded with more toppings and drizzles...it's a lot. I could barely eat a whole one. I'm in sugar overload. But, this is simply my taste buds being a bit different. Lol The staff was extremely friendly and I tried Vietnamese Iced Coffee for the first time ever. This was an experience I'll only find in Philly. Thank you!

I just went for the first time and this place is AMAZING!!! I tried the chicken sandwich and it was incredible. Hot, crispy, juicy, tender and flavorful all at once. I can't wait to try one of the donuts. I might go back tomorrow...

I stopped by this donut chain for the first time today to get some donuts to take home with me after staying in Philly for a couple of days. This is such a cute and clean spot. The donuts are pretty expensive $$$ for the size that you get, but they are absolutely delicious. The staff is nice and friendly too. I will definitely stop by again the next time I am in the area.

The donuts are pretty good but not the best I've ever had. It was a bit pricey for what you get. The staff is very friendly though.
