About
While technically a Central American quick-serve spot rather than a donut shop, El Merkury in Rittenhouse has earned a spot on every Philly fried dough list for their incredible churros. Served over vanilla soft serve with a choice of toppings, these Instagram-worthy churros are a local favorite. They even offer the Churro Bike — made-to-order churros for events and catering.
