    Was craving a coffee and stubble duping this spot on Yelp. And of course the donut was the star of the show! I had the crème brûlée donut and was immediately in love. It's the kind of donut that would make your heart happy! Loved the taste of the toasted glaze on top and filling inside. The donut was surprisingly light and not too doughy. I had their ice cream latte which was a bit too milky for my liking. I feel like a simple black coffee would have gone perfectly paired with the donut. The girl working there was very welcoming and in fact recommended the donut! So that was a win.

    Their donuts taste better than Krispy Kreme. Fluffy donuts! Not too sweet just right to me. Many flavors to choose from. Friendly cashier and thanks for great recommendations. The store is not big but very clean. Most ppl buy their donuts to go. Will return to try their beverages next time.

    Hmmm might be our new favorite donut place. This place has unique flavors such as blueberry, lemon poppy seed (although tastes more tangy & fruity). It's, as Asians like to say, not too sweet. They don't skimp on the flavor. The decor of the San Gabriel location looks dated. I know it's intentional but they could've made it look chicer. We ordered three boxes of donuts and the only girl working there gave us two coffees for free. Also, we let a couple go ahead of us since they only ordered individual donuts. Worth checking out. Price is a bit steep. Update: After introducing the place to my parents, they went to Old Ferry Donut themselves two weeks later to get more donuts. They really liked it as well. They also got another box for my sister. They liked that there's so many flavors to choose from.

    4/16/26 Hmn, this Butter Pistachio donut is nudging at me "pick me, pick me!"-- BEST choice EVER!

    4/26/25 How did I not drop a review here!? Oh for shame! Thandar is super awesome, friendly--always providing service with a smile. Donuts are so daRn decadent & devilishly delicious that I can't help but return over & over! Cute donut shop with retro design inside & out. The butter pistachio got me on a chokehold- it beckoned and I was hooked!!! So soft, rich, decadent but amazingly not overly sweet. Hubby really fawned over the regular peanut butter donut. Both have this captivating filling that'll bring you to your knees. Dare I say, a mouthgasm? (Stole that word from fellow Yelp Elite, Leonard). Nuff said. Run. Don't walk! Coz once they're sold out for the day, you're @$$3D out Parking can be tricky as it shares a lot that includes Paris Baguette & Bonchon. Enjoy!

    Old Ferry is located in a small plaza with a designated parking lot. They have a large selection of donut flavors!! Of the donuts I ordered the stand outs for me were the Butter Pistachio and the Dubai Matcha Donut. The Butter Pistachio is a staple, offering a nutty exterior with a sweet creme filling inside. The donuts are light so you can eat a lot!! I also enjoyed the Dubai Matcha, it wasn't too sweet and had a subtle matcha flavor with a flakey interior to add to the texture. So yummy!!

    Cute box with ears

    I recently discovered this donut shop while looking for something beyond the usual traditional flavors and I'm glad I did. Everything I tried had just the right level of sweetness without being overpowering. I ordered: Butter Pistachio donut Crème Brûlée donut Peanut Butter & Jelly donut Peanut Butter donut Onion Sesame (2) All of the donuts were delicious, with unique flavors that really stand out. I haven't tried everything yet, but I'm definitely on a mission to come back and work my way through the menu. My all time favorite is the Onion Sesame flavor. But all in all they were all very good. Customer service was excellent, and the shop itself has a really trendy, welcoming vibe. Overall a great find!

    Hazelnut Choco and Iced Cream Latte
    Archie S.

    While I was in the area, there were lots of options for desserts or sweets. Old Ferry Donut popped up and I was somehow drawn by the pictures of cream filled donuts. One of those and a nice coffee drink sounded amazing to me. Here you have lots of options from cream filled or their regular specialty donuts. It was hard making a decision as I want to try a few different ones. I tried there Milk Cream Ball and Choco Hazelnut, which were both recommendations given by the person working there. Along with that, I was recommended to try the Iced Cream Latte. To be honest, that coffee drink may be one of the best I've had, it was bold, rich, and had all the flavors I personally like in my coffee. The donuts were both really good as well, I would probably want to try their Earl Grey, Dubai chocolate, and Pistachio next time. Service was very friendly and helpful. There are only a couple tables to sit inside. Enjoyed everything but definitely try their iced cream coffee!

    Cream cafe latte paired with raspberry ring donut
    Ann Q.

    I'm obsessed with their cream cafe latte! Perfect not too Sweet and you still taste the espresso! It reminds me of sweet cream cold brew but creamier. Paired with my top 3 favorites, raspberry ring for a sweet and slightly tart treat! I've been coming after work and haven't seen the usual gentlemen there, I think maybe it's their daughter or a part timer working now? She's very lovely and knows her stuff! Everyone here is always very welcoming and helpful!

    Cute boxes and delicious pastries at Old Ferry Donut

    Yum. My friend's daughter really wanted to try old ferry doughnut while we were in the LA area. I'm glad we did! We tried a variety of donuts and all were delicious. Surface was quick and friendly, and the location was clean and bright.

    Leeza D.

    Wow, the donuts here are beautiful and the fact that they are stuffed takes it to another level. The space is also very retro. Great service. Nice merch selection. Please come and create your own adventure.

    Raspberry Ball, chocolate, Coconut, and cream cheese.

    By far my FAVORITE donut shop and I love this location! -Donuts aren't too sweet and come in the best flavors. -Aesthetic and vibes are super cute! Small and cozy inside, but has seating. -Staff is friendly and helpful. -Outside plaza is nice and cute to walk around after. This is one of my favorite locations because staff is very nice and helpful and the plaza area where it's located is nice! We always stop by whenever we are in the area and usually find street parking to walk over.

    Dubai pistachio
    Sara P.

    My love language is showing up to your house with donuts, and Old Ferry has made me the most popular person in every room. You're welcome, everyone. The maple pecan, Dubai pistachio, and PB&J are my personalities. Nutty, crunchy, a little extra? That's the dream. The coffee is great, the retro vibes are giving, the merch is dangerously cute, and the staff actually seems happy to be there (hella rare!). Clean, charming, and fully responsible for my reputation as a good friend. Do not deprive yourself.

    I love this place! I had it when I was in Korea and was pleasantly surprised to see one in the SGV area. The store is decorated very cutely and I love their hamster mascot. There's limited seating and I feel like most people take it to-go or go in small groups. I tried the pistachio butter and the coffee cream one and both were really great but I loved the pistachio butter the most! It had a very light and nutty texture and was mildly sweet. These donuts are pretty big and I would say one is enough! Luckily I was able to share with a few friends. Great place to stop by if you're looking for a sweet treat!

    On Yelp it says that closing time is at 9 but I showed up to the SG location right at 8 and they were closing up. Is the time on Yelp incorrect?

    Supposedly, they do close at 9pm, but that's if they don't sell out. The actual closing time is "til they are sold out or 9pm, whichever came first"

    Is it better to get there at a certain time (before they sell out)?

    i wouldn't say there is a set time each day but go early if you want the best selection

    Do they have the merch section like they do at the location in Buena Park!?

    Yes they do!

I kept thinking, *"How many boba shops do we really need?"* One thing that stood out was their ordering system - they don't use the usual percentage options for sweetness and ice. Instead, they have "Perfect Sweet" and "Perfect Ice." Whatever that means, right? I was still skeptical. I waited until I got home so my wife and I could try it together. Mind. Blown. Even though it's a bit of a drive for us, we've already gone back three times in a month. That might not sound like much to some people, but for us to make a special trip just for boba says everything. It's not the fastest. You'll probably wait 5-10 minutes in full, but perfection takes time, and it's absolutely worth it. Suggestion: a stamp or loyalty card would be awesome. No disrespect to the brand, but I think the real Torotea fans would appreciate it.

They provide self-serve water outside of the store in the case that there is a long wait. Fortunately, this has never been the case when I have visited. The employees were also super helpful and very well-versed with their menu. They knew exactly what drink paired well with what jelly. All the drinks are true to the taste profile as described on the website. The Popcorn Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Tapiochi is one of the most popular items and it was indeed very buttery. It had a very unique taste profile, but definitely not for me. I personally really really really enjoyed the Misty Oolong MT which had a light-roasted, malty flavor with subtle buttery highlights. It paired perfectly with the osmanthus jelly. The best drink Torotea has to offer by far!

Egg foam was a solid addition but the egg flavor gets lost when mixed so could use more. 7.5/10 Matcha Einspanner $8 - sweetness was about 50% so could use more. the matcha itself was average, foam was solid and creamy. 8/10 Viet Coffee Einspanner $7.5 - solid viet coffee overall but the foam doesn't do much in my opinion 8/10 Nutty Spice Viet Coffee $7.5 - the pistachio milk added a different taste profile to the coffee which was a nice switch up.

If you're going to operate as a café, I'd expect you to be open earlier Monday through Wednesday for the morning crowd, then close around 3-4 PM. That said... the coffee completely changed my mind. The espresso was pulled beautifully. It wasn't bitter or burnt at all you could actually taste the sweetness and the crema, which is something a lot of coffee shops miss. The pistachio cold foam was the real standout. It tasted incredibly rich and nutty, almost like they blended real pistachios into heavy cream and emulsified it, with just a subtle hint of vanilla or pistachio flavoring to round it out. It tasted fresh rather than overly sweet or artificial. I was genuinely caught off guard by how good everything was. The quality of the coffee alone earned them 5 stars from me. Just one suggestion: consider opening earlier during the week. I think you'd capture a lot more of the morning coffee crowd because the drinks are definitely worth it. By the way they make their syrups in house as well!

I inquired about it and they said I'd have to pick a different topping so I went with the agar boba. Apparently they did not give us honey boba. I was staring at it up close since it looked so different so they asked if something was wrong. I thought maybe it was because it was the last of the previous batch that it looked so soft and mishapen. Since July 4th they've been switching to mochi honey boba instead because of popularity/increased demand. They said it was a real hit on July 4th weekend. The mochi boba had a lovely texture and flavor but definitely could have used more haha. They had to boil a whole new batch. Agar boba was fine but I was super disappointed that I didn't get boba because that's what I actually wanted. The shop was quiet with nobody else inside besides my cousin and kid and I. The gyokuro was pretty bitter (as if it was steeped too long. Maybe it was just matcha and bitter? But I thought gyokuro was just tea leaves?) and not sweet at all. I couldn't finish it because of how bitter it was. I kept it in the fridge and drank it next day and it mellowed out significantly. The mango slush was honey boba was pretty good. They recommended it with lychee jelly but my 5 year old was not interested haha. I think I'm spoiled after having torotea because it is such an amazing experience from start to finish and every flavor is absolutely delicious and perfect. Chapresso is overrated and fine when you don't wanna wait for torotea. You probably just need to order the right thing and for them to have boba when you want it. If I ever go back I'd try one of the iron goddess oolong or one of their matcha drinks.

Both of these have flaky, buttery exterior shells that are wonderful to bite into. For cakes, I love the strawberry soft cream cake. This cake is simple, light, and not too sweet. The thin layers of vanilla, soft cream, and strawberries blend excellently together. I appreciate that they provide free candles with whole cakes. An underrated cake is the green tea roll cake, which is delicious, but not ideal for celebrations.
