Overview

Discover the sweet side of Philadelphia on the Underground Donut Tour, a delicious walking adventure through the city’s most iconic flavors. We’ll kick things off near Center City at Federal Donuts, a local Philadelphia favorite with both specialty donuts and hot and fresh daily specials. From there, we’ll visit a vibrant mochi donut shop, featuring global flavors like matcha, ube, and black sesame, each bite offering a chewy twist on a classic treat. Next, we’ll balance out the sweetness with a Philadelphia staple, the hot and fresh soft pretzel, a savory icon baked to perfection. Finally, we’ll head to the legendary Reading Terminal Market to visit Beiler’s Donuts, where handmade donuts are fried, filled, and glazed right before your eyes. This tour blends culture, flavor, and history into one unforgettable experience, showcasing the city’s best bakeries and its love for all things delicious.
