These doughnuts were extremely soft and pillowy. They had a huge selection of flavors and you honestly couldn't go wrong with any of them.
I wish I could give Beiler's Donuts an 11/10 because it was just that good! I came here after hearing great things about it from my coworker, and it definitely lived up to the hype. The line was pretty long since we came on a Saturday morning, but it moved surprisingly fast. They had a huge selection of donuts, along with other baked goods and cakes. It was hard to choose because everything looked so good, but we ended up getting the apple fritter, maple bacon, and Biscoff donut. The maple bacon was definitely our favorite. The donut itself had this amazing sweet maple smell, almost like straight maple syrup. The bacon on top was a nice touch, and the whipped maple creme filling was delicious. It was definitely a sweet donut, but it hit the spot. The Biscoff donut came in a close second. It had the perfect filling-to-bread ratio, and as someone who loves anything Biscoff, this was super satisfying. Both of these donuts were incredibly soft and had the perfect texture. The apple fritter ranked third for us, but it was still really good. It wasn't as sweet as the other two, which was actually nice and helped balance everything out. I do wish it had been a little crispier and had more pieces of apple throughout, but I still enjoyed it. I'd absolutely come back to try more of their donuts, and I definitely want to check out some of their other bakery items too!
I love me some delicious donuts. I ordered a half dozen donuts for $10.75. What a great idea this was. I have no idea what all I ordered, but I got 3 classic ones that you can get mostly anywhere, and then I got 3 wild ones at the choice of the worker there helping me out. I have to say, I really just prefer classic chocolate icing, or caramel icing regular donuts. The crazy ones with all the toppings and fillings are just weird to me. Krispy Kreme remains as always the GOAT of all donut shops, but I do like trying new spots. Certainly worth stopping by if you're craving a donut.
Best little donut stand at Reading Terminal Market! It might actually be the only one... but alas that is because they shut everyone else down. There is a huge selection, from staples like Boston Cream and Jelly etc. to fun and innovative flavors like Salted Caramel and Maple Bacon. We grabbed a half dozen and ate them over a period of three days. They are super light and crisp fried cakes and tasted so very fresh. There was a bit of line to wait, but the whole place was rockin' on the Saturday that we had visited. The staff was nice, and patient while we asked a couple questions and made our selection. Don't even hesitate to give this place a try!
A classic spot in Reading Terminal Market, this is an Amish bakery that is known for their donuts. I got the bacon maple donut and wow, this is not just an ordinary donut. This is a delicious, soft, cream filled donut shaped like a regular donut, so it was quite a nice surprise when I took my first bite. It was so sweet but also so addicting that I had to really stop myself from eating it so I could enjoy it in another sitting (in hindsight, I should have ordered 2 donuts). It was great value - about $2 for a donut, so this is a worthwhile visit whether for breakfast or a dessert.
Beiler's Doughnuts (Located inside Reading Terminal Market) 51 N. 12th. St. Philadelphia, PA 19107 Maple Bacon Doughnut This is one of the freshest, tastiest donuts I explored. The outside was soft and the inside was filled with a maple flavored cream. The donut was freshly made by hand, which accounts for its exemplary texture. The only disadvantage is that I do not live in the area; otherwise, I would have been ordering there more often. #beilersdoughnuts #maplebacondoughnut #maplebacon #readingterminalmarket #philadelphiapa
As an Allergy Friendly Foodie, I can't indulge the way I used to due to my dietary restrictions, but that doesn't stop me from recognizing a great spot like Beiler's. This donut shop inside Reading Terminal Market is iconic for a reason. The quality, freshness, and consistency are exactly what you hope for when you're treating yourself or someone else. Even though I can't enjoy them personally anymore, I still make it a point to stop in and pick them up for my son--and every time, they deliver. I also love that they think beyond just people--offering doggy donuts is such a thoughtful touch. For anyone without dietary restrictions, this is absolutely a must-visit. It's one of those classic places that represents what Reading Terminal Market is all about: tradition, quality, and that special treat you remember. Even if you can't eat them, it's still a place worth supporting--and sharing the joy with someone else.
Food: Some of the worst doughnuts I've ever tried. Don't waste your money and calories on this spot. Federal Donuts or even Dunkin Donuts is better than this place. Service: Staff weren't that friendly and welcoming. Ambiance: This is a food stand located in Reading Terminal Market. The place seemed popular with a constant long line, but I was highly disappointed. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place and won't be returning.
Ordered: Strawberry Creme Donut (~$2): filled with a homemade crème made with strawberry and drizzled with white icing Blueberry Fritter (~$2): donut with blueberries & cinnamon folded in and covered with glaze Aya's take: It seems like I can't come to Philly without checking out Reading Terminal Market, let alone Beiler's Bakery. We got the Strawberry Creme Donut & Blueberry Fritter. The Strawberry Creme Donut was sweet, soft, and filled with strawberry creme. The strawberry flavor was too subtle which seems to be a common occurrence with their filled donuts. The Blueberry Fritter was more cake-like, hard exterior and soft interior, and you can actually taste the blueberry. Decent but again, I expected more!
These are said to be Philadelphia's most famous donuts! This is an Amish bakery that insists on making products by hand daily. Maple Bacon: Sounds intimidating, but it's the staff's top recommendation. The bacon was diced and just a small topping, not very prominent; the main ingredient was maple cream, rich and smooth, not too sweet, but very fragrant and flavorful. Glazed: A simple, classic donut, just syrup drizzled on top. Personally, I found it rather ordinary. Make sure to go early! They open at 8 am, and shortly after 9 they were almost sold out.
Pretty solid! Tried a plain glaze and it was very soft and airy and the line moved quickly. Seems like they may be known for bacon donut?
Beiler's is amazing. A lot of different options for donuts. I got the peanut butter crème and peanut butter chocolate, both were to die for. The crème was smooth and fluffy, went well with the soft dough of the pastry. Service was fast. The queue moved at a fair pace and it was worth the wait. It's busy and loud inside Reading Terminal Market but that adds to the fast pace vibe of Beiler's.
6/10 on these. Sorry Philadelphia. Stan's and Do-Rite in Chicago still get the prize My order: Assorted Doughnuts filled and frosted. The cake style: Missing? The crunchy exterior and tender interior that occurs when donuts are deep fried properly with minimal quality ingredients. These were a bit sad; flat on height and flavor. 5/10 Raised: These had the texture of Dunkin' Missing the lift- flat as if filled too soon after frying. And I believe they were rolled too thin. I wanted to love them, especially since I believe that they are hand cut. I'm so sorry Philadelphia. The price was affordable at $29.75/ dozen but I would rather pay a bit more for quality fillings. Fritters- great cinnamon flavor but absolutely no fruit in sight.

this place is a must visit when visiting philly. we came here twice in two days and i'm not even a fan of yeast donuts... but the salty caramel donut here is the best yeast donut i've had and one of the best donuts i've had period. they need to sell that salty caramel topping by a jar, it's addictive. we also had the lemon cream donut and the apple fritter, and both were delicious, but the salty caramel is the must have. the donuts were also inexpensive and the people were quick and efficient. if you sign up for their newsletter on their site you also get a free donut! read more
After reading on their website that they have been at the Reading Terminal Market for 30+ years and one of the first Amish merchants, I knew I had to try these. They have a huge selection, some seasonal, which made it very difficult to choose as they all looked yummy. I spoke to another patron in line and I decided to go with his choice: regular glazed and apple fritter. Loved them both. These donuts are made on site so they were warm. The Apple Fritter in particular had a nice crunchy exterior yet soft and chewy interior. I don't think I have had a fritter like that before. I didn't find them overly sweet either. Lines could wrap around but it moves quickly. read more
Y'all almost didn't get a picture on this one! I looooove anything lemon and everything donuts. Put them both together, heaven! It was soft, flavorful and DELICIOUS! Be very careful that you don't grab the cookie by the cashier, it's for dogs. So don't think it's French and you're being fancy, it's a donut for your pet. read more

FOOD Beiler's Bakery offers a wide range of classic, specialty, and seasonal donuts at great prices. I came in on a weekday afternoon and ordered an apple fritter donut. It was enormous for the price (1.75), and the glaze was to die for. It's quite thick for a donut, so if I were to order it again next time, I would share or save half for a later time. The only downside I would say is that the apple fritter is advertised as having a cinnamon apple flavor, but I only really tasted cinnamon. They have classic flavors such as glazed, Boston créme, chocolate iced, cinnamon sugar, and more, and their season items look absolutely delicious-- caramel apple, harvest apple, pumpkin creme, and more. They also offer deals when ordering-- 6 donuts for 9.25, 12 for 17.75, or 3 dozen for 47.00. SERVICE The staff was very kind and patient. They accept card and cash. AMBIANCE The bakery is located on the corner by the seating area at the back of the Reading Terminal. It can get loud during mealtimes, but the terminal offers a wonderful ambiance and closeness with the Philadelphia residents. PARKING Paid street parking is available on the surrounding streets in a limited capacity. read more

We got here about 10 am Saturday morning and the line wasn't bad and moved quickly. There was a great selection of donuts. The cake (pumpkin, apple fritter, etc) were delicious. The Nutella was also really good. I do feel like the other traditional styles fell kind of flat. Definitely a must do @ Reading Market. read more
Another winner in the Reading Market. Run by Amish this bakery has everything from pies including shoo fly, whoopie cakes pastries, and so much more! I stopped here to get two items to take home-the cinnamon apple mini loaf to give to a neighbor and the cinnamon bread for myself. I was fortunate to get the last cinnamon apple bread. It comes in a small rectangular tin holder but it smells so fresh! When I gave it to her, she was excited to try it and I know she won't be disappointed. Meantime I have already began to eat my cinnamon raisin bread. It has just the right amount of sweetness to it-Makes a great sandwich or have it for French toast. This type of bread is a treat for me anytime I visit Amish country and of course the line to purchase goods here is long. Please note this bakery is only open M-Sat at the Reading terminal market. Definitely glad I stopped here! read more

I saw these donuts the first day I was there, but the line was huge so I didn't get any. But I kept thinking about them so I had to go back the next day and I lucked out because there was no live. My favorite was coconut with custard filled! Boston crepe was yummy too. Donuts were soft and fluffy, just how they should be! read more
Found this spot on the spur of the moment after lunch when we were craving some dessert! Not a big doughnut fan, but so so glad we gave this place a chance. Food: Ordered a chocolate cream doughnut and strawberry shortcake donut. Both were delicious! The dough is soft and airy and the doughnut doesn't feel heavy. It's the perfect sweet treat! The cream and icing are really tasty and full of flavor. Service: friendly and patient even when the lines are long! packaging could use a little work because some of the cream gets smashed in the paper bags but it's not a big deal. Parking is tough because it's in downtown area. It's within the market which has a bunch of food options so you can hop around and grab lunch beforehand if you choose! It's pretty loud inside and crowded since it's a popular spot. read more
Worth the wait and the line moves fast. Beiler's has your classic but also fun and seasonal donut flavors (like the Peep Donut). You can see them making it right on site so everything is very fresh. Can't go wrong with their apple fritters, I hear everyone recommending those. I also love their cake and old-fashioned donuts. I feel like every city has its known donut shops, I've tried so many in Portland and Chicago and still think Beiler's is the best! If you're in Reading Terminal Market and have some time to wait, make sure to grab a little treat. read more

The doughnut stand does not mess around! You can tell right away that this is with a try because there is a long wrap around line. Once I found my place at the end the wait went pretty fast as this is a well oiled operation. I asked the person behind me if she has been and asked her for recommendations. She said i couldn't go wrong with the glazed and apple fritter and her personal favorite was the vanilla creme filled. I bought up their menu online because there is no room for you to stop and stare and once you get up to the counter you need to be ready. Reading terminal waits for no one. I changed my mind multiple times and at the moment of truth went with the maple bacon. Honestly, if i was asked at any other second, my answer may have been different. The maple bacon doughnut was lighter in weigh than i expected, filled with a maple cream that was a light mousse. The top was iced in a maple icing with chopped bacon. It was a delicious sweet treat that is perfect for one doughnut. I can't imagine eating more than one, it hit that right sweet spot without being too much. read more

Absurdly good and I'm not even a sweets guy. The only item I deviated from on my reading terminal market food plan I'm what went from 1 to 2 to ordering a half dozen for myself over course of day. Oreo cream, banana cream, 2 types of apple, and the star was the maple walnut read more
Beiler's usually has a line around its counter--always a good sign. I also heard they have a delicious coconut doughnut. Had to find out for myself. A friendly and patient guy waited on me as I considered every doughnut and finally chose my dozen to go and two in a bag for breakfast--the coconut and a peanut butter cream filled. Beiler's is not only worth the hype, their baked goods are with the calories! And, their tidy booth is right by a flower stand so you can also have a feast for your eyes! read more

Oh my! These are incredibly tasty donuts! The vanilla cream was one of my favorites. I also loved the blueberry fritter. Delicious and not overly sweet. read more

Got a dozen donuts and I let the staff pick their favorites out for me. The original glazed and m&m were amazing, fluffy,soft, and decadent but the donuts with fillings were all quite soggy and the filling was just way too sweet. All in all still one of my favorite donut spots in Philly, but there are hit or miss days and hours. Make sure you come when a new batch is made. read more

They were some of the best donuts I've ever had, and they were reasonably priced. I was afraid the fruit-filled ones, like the strawberry shortcake, would be overly sweet, but they use natural fruit and not artificial stuff. They were sweet and tart at the same time. If it makes sense, it was the perfect combination. We came back on Sunday to get more before we left, and we're super bummed to see that they were closed. read more
During my weekend in Philly, I wanted to come to Beiler's, but was turned off when I saw how the line wrapped around. Eventually I figured I would just go for it since I didn't have much planned and I'm so glad I did! The line moves incredibly fast, so don't be intimated. I was indecisive and got a half dozen donuts to split with my husband. The blueberry fritter was to die for! I loved the chewy texture and the flavor. Probably one of the best donuts I've had in years. The other ones I got were underwhelming, but I did enjoy the marshmallow-like cream filling in the Nutella and salted caramel donuts. I'd definitely come back and get the blueberry fritter only and now am curious about the Apple fritter. Also under $13 for a half a dozen quality donuts?! Sign me up any day! read more
Stopped here because we saw this bakery featured on an episode of PHANTOM GOURMET (New England food show)... Since we are here visiting again, we HAD to see what the hype was all about... THE DONUTS DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! The selection is HUGE and the line was long to get a mouth watering donut. The person in front of me was so overwhelmed by the selection, she told us to go in front of her cause she couldn't decide lol!!! I opted for the fan favorite: APPLE FRITTER DONUT. Sooo good! Sweet flakey glaze, with delicious apple chunks on the inside. 5/5 My kiddo opted for the bacon maple glazed donut! She's a kid and loves frosting and bacon so it was a match made in heaven. It had a maple whipped frosting filling. Looked waayyyy too sweet for me but my daughter rated it 5/5. All in all, definitely worth the hype. You gotta check this spot out! read more

We've agreed that these are the best Donuts we've ever had. I know that's hyperbole but it's the truth. And who are 'We'? Just Yelp people you don't know....but we eat LOTS of donuts The Salted Caramel melted my knees....like holy f*kking sh*t I didn't know sugar could taste even better. These are AMAZING donuts. Like seriously good omg type Donuts going on here Staff was patient with us even though it was a madhouse! Everyone was nice and answered all our questions with smiles read more
Oh the donuts!! Decided to bring back a sampler set from Beiler's. Shared with the family about 10 hours after purchase-- we all devoured it! We tried the bacon ones, Oreo, strawberry filled and apple fritter. I only wish I had bag space to bring back more. Next time!! read more
I stopped into the Reading Terminal Market during a conference this summer and Beilers Doughnuts made me wish I lived closer to Philly! There were so many options, it was so hard to limit myself to the four I ended up with. I chose fruity pebbles with chocolate, s'mores, mocha, and key lime. I'm not a big filling person, and the mocha one especially had a bit too much cream for me, but if you're into that, I'm sure you'll love it. The key lime had a lot of filling as well, but it still ended up being my favorite! S'mores and fruity pebbles were amazing too, and I hope to return sometime to try more (hopefully with more people so we can get many more flavors). I recommended this as a stop for a colleague who would be in the area for a work trip as well and she really enjoyed Beilers too! read more

Beiler's makes some pretty bang-up donuts. They're so chewy, decadent, and full of FLAVOR. Like honestly, if I lived in Philly, I could see myself wanting to stop by and grab a donut because that's how good it is. I ordered a dozen of assorted donuts, and it was SO worth it (~$18). Please do not go here for a regular glazed donut. I know that is how you compare donut shops, but they specialize in specialty donuts. If you don't get them, you're missing out! I don't care if you want something lighter, but get them for a friend or yourself when you're feeling it later. These donuts are spectacular. They're not light like Krispy Kreme. They're dense and pack a punch. A little too sweet for some people, but for a sugar fiend, I demolish them. Both cake and raised donuts alike, I inhale them. Please go here. I am honestly craving some right now. read more
My friend wanted to try their donuts that she learned about on TikTok and here we came when we were in Philly. Donuts are extremely sweet and sugar loaded, otherwise I found them nothing special. However, when in Philly, you should try it. We got half a dozen and I lien the Boston cream and lemon caramel flavors. read more

Do they have gluten free options?
Not that I've seen on the donut side, but they do have gf treats on the other side (where the cakes, cookies, pies, breads, etc are). The gf options are closer to the door, where they make the cinnamon rolls.
Do they make banana pudding?
They used to and still have it I think. It's on the right side of the stand with other cold stuff that is a carry-over from the Beiler's Pickle Stand days. There is also a pop-up place called Nina's on Saturdays that has a number of varieties of…
Trying to go here tomorrow at like 4 or 5pm... do they make doughnuts all day long or will i be left with the scraps?
We went around the same time that you're saying and I thought the same thing. However when we got there the line was massive and they were still pumping out more Donuts fresh right out of the oven.
