Federal Donuts 2nd Street - Donut shop in Philadelphia - 1219 S 2nd St, USA

$17 for 6 donuts you expect them to fresh. If you aren’t making fresh donuts at 6pm then they should be discounted at least. Extremely disappointed. 1/6 donuts were actually good

They have a few locations, and we picked the one that is in more of a residential area than a busy center of the city. There was no line when we arrived shortly after 11am. But, it was still busy, it can get crowded very quickly with a very small interior. They have five counter seats, and that is about it. While we were there, most of them were there to purchase the food to go, so the seats were not in high demand. Even though this is mainly a donut shop, they also offer enticing fried chicken. We ordered their very popular Fried Chicken Sandwich, available from 11am. It was smaller than I thought it would be, but I always take quality over quantity. It was juicy, tasty, with a nice little kick to it. We really enjoyed it! We couldn’t just order chicken from a donuts shop, so we got a couple of donuts from their Hot Donuts selections. We chose Cookies & Cream and Strawberry Lavender. We both liked the strawberry one better, since it had better, stronger flavor. Cookies & Cream was good but didn't have much flavor. Definitely a place to visit if you are visiting Philly!

Donuts here are freshly made. Definitely try their chicken and donut combo it is to die for. Order the traditional flavors but the specials are great as well as you can mix and match. The donut mix is just right as the textures are soft on the inside and a lil hard on the out. Don't expect a long wait here. Just order and to. My friends and I loved our donuts and will definitely be back!

Very good with somebamazing flavors that take you back to Childhood and then backbto an adult. The big banana pudding donut made me feel like I was 10 years old again and then the Cafe coffee donut brought me back to my love of coffee.

Pickup was easy and quick. Amazing buffalo chicken sandwich! And the wings with honey donut inspire the (intended?) Association with chicken and waffles. Great start to a morning!

I love your donuts but I have a recommendation. I would like to taste more of the fruit icing flavors without the added layer of vanilla icing . It makes the donuts too sweet and I'm a donut countersur😋. Thank you.

This was my first time enjoying Federal Donuts (besides the one at Citizens Bank Park). I ordered 1/2 dozen hot & fresh. They were perfect. I ordered 2 of each flavor. The only one I didn't get to try was the cinnamon sugar. The cookies and cream was great. The strawberry lavender was to die for. On top of that, the coffee was even good. I will certainly be going back to try some more flavors and I'd love to try the chicken one day. This place is a MUST for any foodie in the area.

Heard this was the Philly place for donuts. It didn't disappoint. The basic glazed donuts was top notch. The feel of it being a hole in the wall place added to the experience. Only drawback was there was about a 10 minute wait with only a few customers. The guy seemed to be working alone and was very nice. Go try this place!
