This was very near the Marriot and I was feeling like donuts. I got the chocolate cake donut and it was sweet and a fluffy density to the cake donut. It was inexpensive. I would get it again if I am in the area. read more

Service was just ok. But the strawberry lavender donut is amazing. It was hot and flavorful. I only ordered one but after leaving I wished I had ordered another one. I'm not a huge cake donuts fan but this one was delicious. The mix of the strawberry and lavender was a perfect combination. Although indie not order the other items the sandwiches looked delicious. Maybe next time I'm in town I'll stop by for a quick lunch with outside and inside seating. read more

We stopped by Federal Donuts because we'd heard the cinnamon sugar donuts were a must, and they didn't disappoint. The donuts are made fresh to order, so they're warm when you get them, and they were easily our favorite. Just know they're smaller cake-style donuts, not yeast donuts. If you're expecting a classic glazed donut, these are a little different, but they're really good. If it's your first time, I'd stick with the cinnamon sugar. We also tried one of the signature donuts, but it's basically the same cake donut with different icing. The fresh cinnamon sugar was the clear winner for us. I'd definitely stop here again the next time we're in Philadelphia. read more

Mob rules here featuring great coffee and donuts you only have to sniff in order to gain ten pounds. Would I come here again? Absolutely... but only outside of the morning rush. It's ironic that you can actually visit Starbucks for some peace, quiet and alone time. Four stars for quality. read more

Delicious cake donuts inside the Canopy Hotel, really enjoyed these both mornings of our stay. One morning we got a cup of donut holes, and the other morning we ordered a chocolate and a strawberry donut, all fantastic and fresh. The strawberry one was unbelievable and tasted like fresh berries. We also had hot teas both days. Despite how many customers were there, service was fast. read more

Decadent donuts and now they also sell a chicken sandwich which seems out of place. I didn't get the chicken but I did get a chocolate glazed donut. It was really good eventhough it was not fresh cooked. I stopped in after dinner on my way back to my hotel for a little dessert and Ii was thinking that it would have been a better choice to go in the morning when everything was fresher. Service was average and there was noone else dining in or doing take our at the time I was there. There is no parking for this place except in a public parking lot. There was nothing special about this place for donuts but I think they offered some interesting flavors and they have some good beverage choices to go with the donuts. read more

Made a few stops here during a recent trip to Philly. There's a busy rush in the morning but that's typical for a place like this! The staff were quick and friendly and the donuts were delicious! Will definitely be back in next time I'm in town. read more

I'm a sucker for fresh, hot donuts and the beauty of this place is that you're guaranteed to always get fresh hot donuts. This is because they make them to order. Were they delicious? Yes. Did I burn the roof of my mouth because it smelled so good that I couldn't wait for it to cool down? Also yes. I got the cinnamon sugar donut and the flavor was spot on. No pic as if I'm too impatient to wait for it to cool down, I'm too impatient to stop and take a picture. read more

Amazing donuts and latte! I had the cinnamon sugar warm donut and a brown sugar latte. Absolutely wonderful way to start my day! read more

Big fan of anything Mike Solomonov touches, so I had to check this spot out. The service was great and the food was solid. Our favorites were the Early Bird breakfast sandwich and the za'atar hash brown, both were delicious. The coffee was great too, and the donuts hit the spot. Not my favorite in the Solomonov lineup, but still a strong choice for a quick breakfast or lunch. read more

We came to Philly for a day and had these on the list to try . The location is conveniently located, food was so good we ended up going to another location a few days later before returning to miami. I gave 3 stars because from the moment we walked in the girl at the counter was not pleasant at all. my husband and I love trying new restaurants & we enjoy engaging with the staff, I'm NOT saying it has to be superb service , but you can tell she either didnt want to be there or has a bad attitude all around which tainted the experience given were from out of town & purposely went there excited to try them.. When we got up to leave we thanked her again and tried telling her how much we loved the food, but she was sitting down on her phone pretty much ignoring us . Loved the food so much we wanted to grab a box before heading back to miami but we went to another location , check out my page for that review . read more

Let's cut to the chase: The star of the moment was the Vietnamese Ice Coffee, which was bold and flavorful (and supplied the kick I needed) on a hot day. I got one Chocolate Glazed Iced and two Strawberry Glazed and they were moist, soft, and sweetly delicious. It's quick counter service, but there's plenty of places to enjoy these delightful wonders. The employees were pleasant and seemed to genuinely like working together. I'll be back. read more

The vannila cardamom donut was so good! It was warm, soft and tasted amazing. Would reccomend.

Federal Donuts is a Philly fast food chain serving donuts, coffee, and fried chicken. It is conveniently located next to the lobby of the hotel I was staying at- Canopy. It worked out perfectly because we planned to get an early start on one of the days and this place opens at 7am. When we came down in the morning around 7:10, they were not open though. I saw a few people sitting outside waiting. One of the workers signaled that they'll open soon. I think one of them was late. When they did open, I ordered the breakfast sandwich- steamed & fried egg patty with Cooper sharp cheese, bacon, & cherry pepper relish on a potato roll. It was not for me. The bacon was thin and I didn't enjoy the relish. I should've gotten a fried chicken sandwich like my friend instead. However, I did enjoy my strawberry lavender donut. read more

Chicken and donuts - a unique spot in Philly. The chicken wings lean towards Korean wings style. Wings have a lot of meat and are crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside. The Za'atar seasoning on it is good. The raspberry donuts were a little sour, if you like that. Fried Chicken on salad was good. The regular donut that comes with the wings was too sweet for me. On Thurs evening, it closed before dinner time 7pm, though it's in a hotel. read more

Stick to the chicken sandwiches! We had never been and went for breakfast. We ended up getting the breakfast sandwich, and it wasn't very good. It had bacon instead of chicken, and the frozen egg patty wasn't very good. We also tried one of the glazed donuts, and it was dry and cakey. I'd go back just to try one of their chicken sandwiches. read more

May very well be the best donuts I've ever had, and I'm not a big fan of donuts. I've heard a lot of people suggest not to skip out on the strawberry lavender donut - and they were right. Hands down, the best donut I've ever had! Soft on the inside, and slightly crunchy on the outside. The flavor is truly unique, and I'm having trouble describing it. I wish I would've ordered a dozen of them. I also got a half dozen of the fancy donuts. The pralines & cream was my favorite and there also was a tea-flavored one I believe is called lavender London fog, but luckily for me it didn't taste like tea at all, more like a regular frosted donut. It was still good. Among my least favorite were the blackberry crumble and the spiced pear a la mode. They were pretty, but too sweet for me. I also got a breakfast sandwich which was amazing as well. I didn't know what to think of the egg patty because they steam and fry it, but it was still soft and juicy. Not pictured - I also ordered the cookies n cream donut. It may have tasted better if I ate it hot, but it was kind of average. I would recommend visiting to try the donuts and the sandwiches. I believe their fancy donuts are seasonal, so I can't wait to come back and try their new flavors. If you do visit, expect to wait a couple of minutes depending on the time of day. I placed my order online and arrived at the store 5-10mins later at 8am on a weekday and still had to wait an extra 5mins, which was not too bad. read more

Great donuts but don't sleep on the breakfast sandwich, it's very good with that egg patty, bacon and pepper relish that all blend well. Donuts are on the smaller side but sweeter because of the glaze, but still a solid donut. Their plain coffee was pretty good too. Service was peompt and friendly. We stayed at the Hilton attached to it, so was a much cheaper breakfast option than eating at the hotel. read more

Located in the Canopy hotel, this place gets mobbed with all the hotel customers. At first the line seemed long but went very fast and the team behind the counter were super efficient and on the ball. The donuts were freshly made . I bought a latte and it was delicious and made just right! Can't eat the the instant processed donut recipe Dunkin' Donuts anymore. Hope there are more Federal Donuts in the burbs soon lucky I have the Wynnewwod Whole Foods location near. read more

I came for a donut but was sad to see they didn't have as many available options at the moment as I expected they will. However the one I ordered was really good.

Pleasant surprise during my work trip to Philly. Not sure of this is a local or regional chain but I can wholeheartedly recommended both their donuts and their chicken sandwich. Who knew you could do both equally well? For the latter, I'm a big fan of the perfectly crisped chicken breast with the buttery bun. So good. Pair with ample hot sauce. read more

I love cake donuts so I was ecstatic that Federal Donuts was right across from our hotel. They do have unique flavors like baklava, fig mascarpone, and dirty chai. My brother and I both agreed that baklava was one of our favorites. For half a dozen donuts, the total came to about $16-17, so it can be a bit pricey. read more

Amazing local donut chain! This location in particular is located within The Canopy Hotel in center city Philadelphia. If you are staying in this hotel, grabbing morning coffee and breakfast here is super convenient. There are standard donuts that are continuously produced and available when ordered. There are also a few on-demand options (usually powdered) - these are cooked and powdered to order and therefore take longer. Coffee options are fairly standard and well prepared. Each day they have a breakfast sandwich available as well - prepared to order as well. read more

This place does the weird deja vu thing for me. Like I feel like I've been here, or heard of it, or seen it before. I've only been to this city twice in my life and neither time stopped at FedDo. That's what I'm calling it now, it's a thing. They do have a bathroom, and although it's roped off, I think that does a good job at keeping people out who otherwise might track fecal matter about, or carve their FeetFinder handle into the mirror. Point is, the bathroom is well cared for, and clean. While they have a smaller selection of ready to go donuts. They look amazing. I wanted to get more than one but sometimes you gotta save it and keep the diabetes at bay just a bit longer. We got one Blueberry and an Apple Cinnamon. These little dough boys were scrumptious. I've never had oatmeal on a donut. The batter was intense, the inside was crumbly and cake like. It was delightful. You just have to get one. I'm sure the chicken wings or other hot items are worthwhile too, but that wasn't why I came here. We really stopped in for a bathroom, and we're blessed by coffee and really good donuts. If I walk by again, I'll try something else. I spent 5 minutes smelling the sweet, succulent, warmness of our neighbors hot, fresh, made to order donuts, and my only regret, is I wasn't patient enough. read more

Philadelphia icon for breakfast Pros: quick service. I got the 3 chicken tenders with a honey donut as well as a dozen novelty donuts. The chicken tenders come with choice of dry rub as well as two dipper sauces. They have a unique dry herb blend (Z'atar) that was super flavorful and an Everything Rooster dip that reminded me of a more acidic Cane's Chicken sauce. Cons: the chicken tenders were crispy and had flavorful rubs, but the meat itself was a little dry. Overall, good place for a quick stop for breakfast. More unique than dunkin donuts and you can satisfy both your sweet and savory desires. read more

I'm a Phish fan, so I knew about Federal Donuts from their involvement with the "Baker's Dozen." Wanted to make sure to include it as part of a meal in Philly and came away pretty disappointed. The chicken sandwich was average at best and the donuts were very forgettable. The cleanliness of the restaurant resembled what it looks like on the floor at a Phish concert after the houselights come back. read more

the donuts here were just okay. i'm more of a cake donut fan than yeast donut fan, but wasn't that impressed by these donuts... doughnut plant in nyc is a million times better. we had the strawberry lavender and a specialty cherry cheesecake donut. i had high hopes for the strawberry lavender since everyone commented positively on it, but i couldn't really taste anything except artificial strawberry. also, my partner wants to add that if you want still water here, be prepared to drink out of the sink, as they only have a tap for soda water. the service, however, was really friendly. read more

This donut spot has been on my radar for a while! There was one under the Goldie location I went to, but it was closed. So I had to walk a couple of blocks to get to this one which is connected to a hotel. I saw some donuts in three sections of their shelves on the back wall, so knew I would be getting those at least. But I had to confirm if those were the only donuts are available. There were 3 others that are made fresh, so I went for it and got half a dozen to go! I had flavors such as cookies & creme, blueberry, s'mores, cinnamon sugar and sweet potato pie. GOOD donuts! In the selection that was available, I found that there was a high reliance on that fine sugar on most of them. While it didn't make it taste bad, I thought it took away from the uniqueness of each donut. That being said, I think the s'mores one was my favorite. Federal Donuts has a great and consistent base donut, so it's one of those cases where you can't really go wrong. I will be returning to try other flavors! read more

Friendly little donut shop that we stumbled into. They had a decent selection around 3:00pm as well as a few flavors that they make hot and fresh! We decided to do that and went with the Brown Sugar and Cinnamon. It took about 6 minutes and we were on our way. The donut was more on the cakey side which I liked and despite half of the toppings ending up in the bottom of the bag, the donut was super flavorful. Prices were good and service was great. read more
