It’s always a good idea to check out a local donut shop on vacation. In planning for our trip to the City of Brotherly Love, it didn’t take me long to find a place we had to try. Federal Donuts in Philadelphia is a local chain with several locations.
Federal Donuts in Philadelphia serves both classic and fancy donuts. The fancy donut menu changes seasonally.
We chose to visit the South Philadelphia location at 1219 S 2nd St. This Federal Donuts is a walk-up window on the corner of Manton and S. 2nd.
We found this neighborhood to be quite intriguing. This residential area had very little parking other than street parking. The curious part was that people created spots in the middle of the street! Perhaps this is common in other areas, but it was new to me.
Now back to the donuts. Since parking seemed to be a bit of a problem, my husband circled the block while I ordered at the walk-up window. The staff served us promptly.
I gobbled up a smores and a blueberry donut.
My husband enjoyed his apple and glazed donuts.
My teenager opted for two types of chocolate, glazed and regular.
Federal Donuts in Philadelphia was a big hit with my family! The donuts were fresh and delicious. I loved the variety and unique options.
Federal Donuts also serves fried chicken – which I love. However, I did not get a chance to try it on this trip. You can be sure that someday I’ll go back to Federal Donuts in Philadelphia to taste the fried chicken and, of course, eat more donuts.
