Federal Donuts


Federal Donuts is an American fast food chain serving doughnuts, coffee, and fried chicken. The chain is based in Philadelphia, and is part of the CookNSolo company.

History

The founders were inspired to open the restaurant by Philadelphia-based Cafe Soho, which serves Korean fried chicken.
The first location opened in Pennsport in 2011, and as of 2018, the company has six locations, in addition to stands in Citizens Bank Park. A Miami branch opened in 2017 and closed in 2018.

Menu

Locations serve doughnuts, chicken, and coffee. Founder Tom Henneman has referred to these three items as "...the three comforts". The restaurant introduced a breakfast sandwich in 2019.
The restaurant has collaborated on foods with other Philadelphia-based companies, including Pizza Brain and Little Baby's Ice Cream.
The restaurant offers slightly above minimum wage for hourly employees.
