Visiting The Awesome New Federal Donuts Flagship Store In South Philly

One of my favorite restaurants is expanding, and I could not be any more excited -- Federal Donuts!

The new location is located in South Philly next to the old Viking Hall in the same neighborhood as the IKEA, Lowe’s, and Best Buy on Wolf and Sansom Street.

Not only is it the newest location, but it is also their flagship store!

The place is huge!

It has 24 seats located throughout the store and plenty of dining tables.

Plus, the kitchen, which is huge in its own right, and has more than enough space to make sure your favorite Federal Donuts order comes out perfect each time.

If you have never been, firstly, what are you waiting for? Secondly, they have an incredible menu.

The menu at Federal Donuts includes salads, breakfast sandwiches, and who could forget their famous donuts and chicken?

For all the coffee lovers out there, Federal Donuts also has loads of coffee options. By the way, they have a $1 coffee special going on!

For those that don’t know, Federal Donuts first opened Philly back in 2011 in South Philly on Federal and 2nd Street.

The chain has been so successful that they have gone on to open up 11 locations, including spots at both Citizens Bank Park and the Wells Fargo Center.

I think it is safe to say it has been a huge success!

A lot of that is due to the owner, Michael Solomonov.

Michael Solomonov knows his way around crafting a great restaurant as he also owns Zahav, an Israeli restaurant in Society Hill, and easily one of the best restaurants in the city.

I highly suggest you check out both Zahav and Federal Donuts!

You don’t have to take my word for it though!

Adam Sandler himself actually wore a Federal Donuts sweatshirt in his movie, Hustle, which was shot in Philly.

Hustle also included Philly basketball greats like Tobias Harris, Matisse Thybulle, Aaron McKie, Allen Iverson, Billy King, Jay Wright, and many more players around the league!

So not only is Federal Donuts known in Philly but it is known worldwide thanks to Adam Sandler wearing it on the big screen!

If you find yourself in the neighborhood, consider checking out the new flagship store!

Today is Wednesday.

The middle of the work week.

The day when the rest of the work week is starting to catch up with you, but you can’t quite see the light at the end of the tunnel or the finish line just yet.

On days like these sometimes you need a little pick-me-up to brighten your day and to get you one more day closer to the weekend – a Philadelphia 76ers playoff home opener weekend, mind you!

And that is just what happened today at the WMGK studios!

My buddy, Jimmy Sutcliffe of Live Nation, dropped off some special surprise treats from one of the best dining establishments in the city, in honor of the legendary comedian, actor, musician, writer, producer, director, and all of the above being in town on Friday – Adam Sandler.

Jimmy stopped by with a few boxes of donuts from Federal Donuts!

Now, this would be a treat regardless of the occasion, but these donuts are even cooler than normal!

The donuts he dropped off today are a special variation of donut called, the Hustle, inspired by Sandler’s performance in the movie, Hustle, which had several scenes filmed at the Wells Fargo Center, where Adam will be performing on Friday, April 14th.

Anytime Sandler comes to town, you know it will be a hard ticket to come by because his shows are always highly-anticipated!

Per the press release, “The Hustle donut is a classic spiced cake donut with cherry water ice glaze and a pretzel glaze drizzle, designed to look like a basketball.”

Trust me, it looked amazing and tasted even better!

Can it get more Philly than cherry water ice and a pretzel?

I think not!

Especially as the summer approaches!

By the way, Adam Sandler was not the only person to make an appearance in the movie, Hustle!

I actually did too as my voice was used toward the end of the movie!

That movie is the gift that keeps on giving now with these fantastic donuts inspired by the film.

Not only were the donuts a treat, but it is always great to see Jimmy!

I actually ran into him at a Sixers game earlier in the year with his wife, Angela, and we snagged a picture at center court!

If you are lucky enough to be going to see Adam Sandler’s performance on Friday, enjoy!

And if you are stopping by Federal Donuts anytime soon, consider grabbing the Hustle donut…

Or a dozen!
