Where to Find the Tastiest Apple Cider Donuts Around the Main Line

As the calendar officially flips to fall, we take a look at the apple cider donut, one of autumn's finest treats.

From small bakeries to sprawling orchards, Philadelphia’s western suburbs have some of the most scrumptious apple cider donuts. These locally made treats showcase the combination of the top produce and bakeries the Main Line area has to offer. Here are some of our favorites.

Northbrook Marketplace

1805 Unionville Wawaset Rd., West Chester


Family-owned and -operated, this West Chester gem is located in a restored 1850s fieldstone barn. Its apple cider donuts are made fresh, and the sweet aroma fills the whole store. They can even be found in the indulgent cider donut French toast dish, available for brunch.

Highland Orchards

1000 Marshallton-Thorndale Rd., West Chester

Stretching across more than 200 acres, not only does this West Chester farm offer mouthwatering apple cider donuts, but it also dishes up apple cider donut bread pudding and cider donut whoopie pies with vanilla filling. You can pick your own produce or purchase it in the market, along with homemade pies, cheese and other goods. Hayrides, a corn maze and apple and pumpkin picking round out the fall fun at Highland.

Not only does Weaver’s Orchard embrace the fall season with apple cider donuts, but it does so with apple dumplings/fritters and pumpkin spice donuts, too. These tasty treats are available in the farm market from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday to Friday and to 5 p.m. on Saturday, but make sure to get there early while the pastries are freshest.

Find double the fun at Lancaster County Farmer’s Market, where both D’Innocenzo’s and Sunny Side Pastries sell homemade apple cider donuts. These bakeries are only active when the farmers market is open on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m., so don’t miss your opportunity to taste-test both options and see which you like better.
