Reading Terminal Market ★ 4.8
Reading Terminal Market in Philadelphia is the 1893 enclosed public market under the old Reading Railroad train shed at 12th and Arch, with 80 vendors.
Pennsylvania-Dutch yeasted doughnuts, dense and slightly chewy, fried in lard and dipped in maple, glazed in chocolate or filled with raspberry cream. Beiler's at Reading Terminal Market is the canonical Philly operator.
Pennsylvania Dutch doughnut traditions go back to the 18th century, when the Amish and Mennonite communities of Lancaster County developed dense, lard-fried yeast doughnuts. Beiler's Doughnuts, run by a Lancaster Amish family at Reading Terminal Market since 1989, sells the canonical Philadelphia version. Federal Donuts and Five Daughters Bakery have built modern Philadelphia doughnut shops but the Beiler's hand-cut, hand-glazed Amish original remains the city's reference.
