What makes it different?
This place mixes up the classics and they do it mouth-wateringly well. Federal Donuts exclusively serves doughnuts, friend chicken and coffee. At first it may seem like a strange concept...but somehow these guys make it work. The doughnuts are serves up two ways...the "fancy" way, in which they douse them with flavorful glazes and toppings, and the 'hot and fresh" variety, where the doughnuts are made to order and then coated with vanilla spice, cinnamon brown sugar, or strawberry lavender. If you have never had a pipping hot doughnut before, you don't know what you are missing out on. And the fried chicken is just as good, made fresh with each order and then coated with a rub or glaze. Just remember to grab some wet wipes on your way out.
Worth it?
Lindsay- This place is amazing. Lauren and I loved every single doughnut.
Lauren- If you live in the tristate area, you have no excuse - get your buns to Philadelphia and check this place out. It was absolutely worth a two-hour drive from New York.
What to get?
- Tahina: the prefect mix of sweet and savory
- Marshmallow Squared: Marshmallow heaven in your mouth
- Hot & Fresh: Strawberry Lavender
**but you should probably swing for all three Hot & Fresh. And at $6 for 6 hot doughnuts...why not?
