    Look at these babies!

    Best little donut stand at Reading Terminal Market! It might actually be the only one... but alas that is because they shut everyone else down. There is a huge selection, from staples like Boston Cream and Jelly etc. to fun and innovative flavors like Salted Caramel and Maple Bacon. We grabbed a half dozen and ate them over a period of three days. They are super light and crisp fried cakes and tasted so very fresh. There was a bit of line to wait, but the whole place was rockin' on the Saturday that we had visited. The staff was nice, and patient while we asked a couple questions and made our selection. Don't even hesitate to give this place a try!

    A classic spot in Reading Terminal Market, this is an Amish bakery that is known for their donuts. I got the bacon maple donut and wow, this is not just an ordinary donut. This is a delicious, soft, cream filled donut shaped like a regular donut, so it was quite a nice surprise when I took my first bite. It was so sweet but also so addicting that I had to really stop myself from eating it so I could enjoy it in another sitting (in hindsight, I should have ordered 2 donuts). It was great value - about $2 for a donut, so this is a worthwhile visit whether for breakfast or a dessert.

    Pretty solid! Tried a plain glaze and it was very soft and airy and the line moved quickly. Seems like they may be known for bacon donut?

    Beiler's Doughnuts (Located inside Reading Terminal Market) 51 N. 12th. St. Philadelphia, PA 19107 Maple Bacon Doughnut This is one of the freshest, tastiest donuts I explored. The outside was soft and the inside was filled with a maple flavored cream. The donut was freshly made by hand, which accounts for its exemplary texture. The only disadvantage is that I do not live in the area; otherwise, I would have been ordering there more often. #beilersdoughnuts #maplebacondoughnut #maplebacon #readingterminalmarket #philadelphiapa

    As an Allergy Friendly Foodie, I can't indulge the way I used to due to my dietary restrictions, but that doesn't stop me from recognizing a great spot like Beiler's. This donut shop inside Reading Terminal Market is iconic for a reason. The quality, freshness, and consistency are exactly what you hope for when you're treating yourself or someone else. Even though I can't enjoy them personally anymore, I still make it a point to stop in and pick them up for my son--and every time, they deliver. I also love that they think beyond just people--offering doggy donuts is such a thoughtful touch. For anyone without dietary restrictions, this is absolutely a must-visit. It's one of those classic places that represents what Reading Terminal Market is all about: tradition, quality, and that special treat you remember. Even if you can't eat them, it's still a place worth supporting--and sharing the joy with someone else.

    Beiler's is amazing. A lot of different options for donuts. I got the peanut butter crème and peanut butter chocolate, both were to die for. The crème was smooth and fluffy, went well with the soft dough of the pastry. Service was fast. The queue moved at a fair pace and it was worth the wait. It's busy and loud inside Reading Terminal Market but that adds to the fast pace vibe of Beiler's.

    Food: Some of the worst doughnuts I've ever tried. Don't waste your money and calories on this spot. Federal Donuts or even Dunkin Donuts is better than this place. Service: Staff weren't that friendly and welcoming. Ambiance: This is a food stand located in Reading Terminal Market. The place seemed popular with a constant long line, but I was highly disappointed. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place and won't be returning.

    Maple Bacon
    Ying X.

    These are said to be Philadelphia's most famous donuts! This is an Amish bakery that insists on making products by hand daily. Maple Bacon: Sounds intimidating, but it's the staff's top recommendation. The bacon was diced and just a small topping, not very prominent; the main ingredient was maple cream, rich and smooth, not too sweet, but very fragrant and flavorful. Glazed: A simple, classic donut, just syrup drizzled on top. Personally, I found it rather ordinary. Make sure to go early! They open at 8 am, and shortly after 9 they were almost sold out.

    Strawberry Creme Donut (~$2)
    Aya E.

    Ordered: Strawberry Creme Donut (~$2): filled with a homemade crème made with strawberry and drizzled with white icing Blueberry Fritter (~$2): donut with blueberries & cinnamon folded in and covered with glaze Aya's take: It seems like I can't come to Philly without checking out Reading Terminal Market, let alone Beiler's Bakery. We got the Strawberry Creme Donut & Blueberry Fritter. The Strawberry Creme Donut was sweet, soft, and filled with strawberry creme. The strawberry flavor was too subtle which seems to be a common occurrence with their filled donuts. The Blueberry Fritter was more cake-like, hard exterior and soft interior, and you can actually taste the blueberry. Decent but again, I expected more!

    The pastries are fresh and delicious. I got the chai latte which was very amazing. Great ambiance. Great customer service. Highly recommend.

    6/10 on these. Sorry Philadelphia. Stan's and Di-Rite in Chicago still get the prize Assorted Doughnuts
    Carolyn F.

    6/10 on these. Sorry Philadelphia. Stan's and Do-Rite in Chicago still get the prize My order: Assorted Doughnuts filled and frosted. The cake style: Missing? The crunchy exterior and tender interior that occurs when donuts are deep fried properly with minimal quality ingredients. These were a bit sad; flat on height and flavor. 5/10 Raised: These had the texture of Dunkin' Missing the lift- flat as if filled too soon after frying. And I believe they were rolled too thin. I wanted to love them, especially since I believe that they are hand cut. I'm so sorry Philadelphia. The price was affordable at $29.75/ dozen but I would rather pay a bit more for quality fillings. Fritters- great cinnamon flavor but absolutely no fruit in sight.

    Yelp Review 2025 #232: Located inside Reading Terminal Market, Beiler's Bakery serves some of the best doughnuts in Philly. They are family-owned and they still handmake their doughnuts fresh at each location they have. I came here in the afternoon. Some of their doughnuts were already sold out. Nutella Creme: I've had Nutella doughnuts that doesn't taste much like Nutella because people add on other ingredients. Beiler's doesn't do that. The filling is thick and rich Nutella. The doughnut is soft and fluffy. 5/5 Harvest Apple: I really wanted an Apple fritter but they were sold out. This was the next bed thing. It has real apple and a nice filling. 4/5 Pumpkin: Since I came here in the fall, I had to try their pumpkin doughnut. However, it's not for me. 3/5 Service was quick, nothing remarkable. You grab and pay for your doughnuts and find somewhere to sit so you can enjoy them. The whole market is casual.

    Kenya M.

    The donuts here are top-tier! This spot is located inside Reading Terminal Market, which is always packed--especially on weekends. Be prepared to wait in a long line, but trust me, it's absolutely worth it. My only tip: eat the donuts the same day you buy them. By the next day, the quality really drops--they're just not the same. So while you're at Reading Terminal, save some room for dessert and treat yourself. You won't regret it!

    Do they have gluten free options?

    Not that I've seen on the donut side, but they do have gf treats on the other side (where the cakes, cookies, pies, breads, etc are). The gf options are closer to the door, where they make the cinnamon rolls.

    Do they make banana pudding?

    They used to and still have it I think. It's on the right side of the stand with other cold stuff that is a carry-over from the Beiler's Pickle Stand days. There is also a pop-up place called Nina's on Saturdays that has a number of varieties of… 

    Trying to go here tomorrow at like 4 or 5pm... do they make doughnuts all day long or will i be left with the scraps?

    We went around the same time that you're saying and I thought the same thing. However when we got there the line was massive and they were still pumping out more Donuts fresh right out of the oven.

    I thought I'd written a review about this place before but to my shock I had not…read more I have been coming here since the day they opened, infrequently beacuse I am diabetic but when I want to spoil my body with delicious sugar, honey, this is *IT*. Now I could tell you all about how perfectly tasty everything is. From the classic banana puddings (I prefer the caramel version myself,) to the cookies, to the pineapple upside-down mini cakes. Yes, I could tell you that. But I want to speak to something deeper. I want to speak to belonging and community; and to fairness. As a biracial person with a brown sister, I feel the pull to support black and brown businesses. It's not a secret. And sometimes you do it, and sometimes you privately think "Damn. I wanna be supportive but this place is a mess." Then there's Sweet Life. NOT that. FILLED with good product at a great price, delivered by owners and staff who actually give a damn about being loving and supportive to all different types of people. And did I mention the sweets are POPPIN'? And to that statement of fairness. Today I came in to place an order, and when the price came up, for a moment I thought "Damn. That is a lot higher than I remembered, but I am not about to question them. They set the price and that price is what they deserve." So I paid. But then I noticed there was more in my bag that I'd asked for, and that there had been a miscommunication. When I tell you that this miscommunication was corrected with swiftness *AND* a smile. No shade. No drama. Just an "Ooops, oh well, here's your refund on the balance." I know this seems very basic but we all know it isn't. We have all been in that awkward situation where as a customer we have to point out an error, and the vendor turns it into a Shakespearan tragedy. Not Sweet Life. "Oops. Sorry! Fixed. Love you." So, to recap: Stunningly delicious sweets. Prices fair as hell. Communicative, inclusive staff doing the right thing. You need to take those money dollers and haul your ass over here TODAY. Now...where did I put my insulin pen?

They definitely seem consistent, which I really appreciate. I came with a couple of friends on a Saturday afternoon, and wow... this place was packed. Even with the crowd, the staff stayed friendly and worked quickly, so we didn't have to wait too long for our drinks. One thing I still love is the seating. They have giant plushies sitting in the booths, so if you're by yourself, you're not just awkwardly staring at an empty seat across from you. Maybe I'm the only one who appreciates that, but I think it's a cute touch. The matcha here is the real deal. It's bright green, fragrant, and has that rich, earthy flavor with just enough natural bitterness that you know they're using quality matcha. A lot of places advertise matcha, but this one actually delivers. I ordered one of their matcha desserts with ice cream, and it was creamy, refreshing, and let the matcha flavor shine instead of burying it under sugar. My only complaint is that it was pretty warm inside. It was a hot summer day, and I honestly couldn't tell if the air conditioning was running or if it was just fans. Either way, it wasn't very cool inside. Thankfully I had ice cream, so it didn't bother me too much, but it's something to keep in mind if you're stopping by on a really hot day. Overall, another great visit. Friendly staff, consistently high-quality matcha, and a fun atmosphere. If you're a matcha lover, this is still one of my favorite spots in Chinatown.

Place was nice and bright. Plenty of seating. So many things looked tasty but I got two pain aux raisins, an eclair, a merveilleux, and 4 mini choux pastries (2 for $1). The total came to $24. Pain aux raisin was good but not the best I've ever had. Would have liked them to be slightly thicker and crispier. Plenty of raisins though. Crème pâtissière was fantastic. Eclair was thin and dainty. I got this for my son as a safe bet. I tried a piece and I was so delighted to find it was filled with a chocolate pudding type of filling. The mini choux pastries were an impulse buy. I got enough for everyone in the car ride home to try. Delicious and delicate one bite treat. The merveilleux was a blind buy.
