Allie Ilagan: From chef Michael Solomonov, FedNuts has the masses clamoring for its blend of specialty cake donuts, strong coffee and Korean fried chicken. Be sure to arrive before noon; birds sell out in minutes.
Philadelphia Magazine: Despite all the wild flourishes of color and flavor, the plain honey doughnut that comes alongside every order of chicken is still the best breakfast weapon in the FedNuts arsenal.
Ian: They open at 7a...Chicken at 11...wings at noon. The chicken is worth the wait. Try the chili-garlic sauce The hot donuts are the best!

Andrew Moore: Oh Wow! Amazing donuts. Get a half or full dozen and try the various kinds. The Elvis, and The Key Lime are top notch but the Salted Caramel is divine! It is the Creme de le Creme!
Lionel Nicolau: Best donuts I've ever had, at a good price to boot
Satish: I have to say this - these are some of the best donuts I have had anywhere in the country. Skip the frills and just go for the plain glazed or cinnamon sugar ones. It's enough to have a foodgasm.

Stephanie H.: So many things to try. Stop by dinics for sandwiches. Cannoli from Termini bros is amazing.
Raj Sarma: What can I say about this place that hasn't already been said? Make sure to go early and get the donuts. Don't miss out on the corned beef and pastrami sandwich.
Christine Wolfe: Old City Coffee, Beiler's Donuts, and Miller's Twist pretzels are a must! I made the mistake of eating lunch beforehand...Come hungry!! ;)
Jason Li: Absolutely a hidden gem! Nice looking and clean. Good music. A huge selection of croissants. I only tried the almond croissant and it is the best in town!
Sarah Medina: Best macarons I’ve ever had! They are super fresh and taste like the flavor they are supposed to taste like. Nice little cozy place and atmosphere.
Jimmy Frazier: The pastries here are absolutely world-class. You can’t go wrong with the chocolate croissant. The macarons are to-die-for, too. I’d recommend anything citrus-y, especially grapefruit or lemon.

JJ: Trendy atmosphere, great service and awesome food!! My favs are the calamari salad, shrimp and lobster spring rolls, chilean sea bass and dim sum donuts for dessert!!!
Bethany Kline: bento box dessert: must order for chocolate lovers, otherwise the "dip sum" doughnuts come with two dipping sauces and to-die-for ginger whipped cream.
Hollie Donnon: The edamame ravioli/dumplings are things dreams are made of ... Buddakan never disappoints ... Food is always top notch! Try the Donuts for dessert ... super delish!
