Old Ferry Donut
704 W Las Tunas Dr, San Gabriel, CA
Crema's Take
“Old Ferry Donut brings a modern Korean-style energy to San Gabriel's donut scene, with beautifully crafted flavors that lean savory and buttery rather than cloyingly sweet—their butter pistachio is a standout that devotees return for repeatedly. The clean, minimalist vibe and genuinely friendly service make it easy to linger with a coffee, whether you're grabbing quick or settling in for a slow sit, though fair warning that the creative flavors won't resonate with everyone looking for traditional donut experiences.”

really good donuts and lovely service! so far i've tried: - butter pistachio: definitely the favorite for me and my family & a must-try. very butter-forward flavor that's sweet, savory, and salty. i kept thinking about it 2 weeks after eating, so i went back to buy more. - coffee ball: the coffee cream in here is delish! strong espresso flavor - tiramisu: not too sweet, really liked the cacao powder which balanced with the coffee glaze. - cookies & cream: the texture of this one is great! the glaze feels like white choco? it's crunchy so it pairs well with the fluffy donut and crumbly cookie bits. not too sweet either - milk ball: simple, but the cream is satisfying and well-made. i think the prices are reasonable for the quality and size of the food. there's a lot of interesting flavors and they do not skimp on ingredients. it's not easy to make these kinds of donuts. each time i've been there, the worker was welcoming, helpful, and efficient. looking forward to going back and trying more flavors.
Well it's not as good as many influencers make it out to be. It wasn't my favorite. The donuts had interesting flavors and cream inside but I wouldn't go back. Nothing was memorable. The flavors were OK it was just OK.
I tried Old Ferry Donut in San Gabriel and was really impressed. This is a Korean-style donut shop with a clean, modern vibe and very friendly service. I ordered online, and when I got there, everything was packed and ready to go. Super smooth experience. I got five flavors: butter pistachio, peanut butter, hazelnut chocolate, coffee cream, and lemon poppy seed. My favorites were the peanut butter and butter pistachio. Both had great texture and flavor. The others were good too, but those two stood out. Parking can be a little challenging in front, but they do have additional parking in the back, which helps a lot. If you’re into donuts that are a little more unique and elevated, this place is definitely worth a visit.
I had heard some buzz about Old Ferry Donut, but honestly, I didn't pay much attention—after all, there are countless donut shops out there, most of them similar and overpriced. But then we walked by the shop, and wow, what a charming place! The decor, the vibe, the colors—we just had to check it out. I figured, hey, why not treat myself to one donut, right? Well, I'm so glad I did because their donuts hit all the right spots. Not overly sweet, with fantastic flavors and a wonderfully fluffy texture, these donuts aren’t too heavy but are just enough to satisfy any sweet tooth. Sure, they’re on the pricier side, but they’re absolutely worth it. We tried the butter pistachio, which was recommended by the store manager, and it's a must-order, period. We also had the tiramisu donut, which featured a delightful mix of chocolate coating and perfect texture. I can’t wait to go back for another one (or two). Pro tip: their online prices are the same as in-store, so you can easily order ahead and pick up. Happy donut hunting!
Small hip donut shop. Order from a pad. The donuts are beautifully made and absolutely delicious. The butter pistachio is subtle and so yum. I found the donuts I tried weren't too sweet. So easy to indulge. The tiramsu, get it. I would love to try the peanut butter jelly donut, next. Love the feel of the takeaway box. Love the general orange-y color scheme of the place.
