Tiramisu Donut - 5 🌟! Creme Brule Donut - 5 🌟! Butter Pistachio Donut - 5 🌟! Milk Cream Donut - 5 🌟!
Old Ferry Donut is a place I found completely by happy accident. I was in Koreatown and happened to glance over and saw the signage. The name caught my eye. The next time I was close by, I decided to go see what it was like. I enjoyed the bright colors of the store and the menu. The staff was friendly and helpful.
I wound up leaving with four incredible, filled donuts and became an instant fan. It turns out, Old Ferry Donut is a successful Korean donut place that is making its way into SoCal. They specialize in filled donuts. Each of the four I had on my visit were filled with amazing flavor combinations.
I would not hesitate to have any one of the flavors again. I am confident the ones I didn't try would be equally as good. There are a few that are not filled if you are seeking a sweet snack without the filling. They have a robust range of cafe items and snacks as well. One thing I saw that I thought was pretty unique is they had a selection of flavored, sweet milk. Such a creative, fun idea. They have a nice selection of merchandise.
Los Angeles is donut heaven. There are so many great options out there and like pizza or burgers, I am always happy to see a new donut entry, especially when it is one I know little about but turns out to be fantastic. I hope lots of people give Old Ferry Donut a try because they were definitely one of the best random spots I have discovered by accident in my foodie adventures.
This location is in Koreatown where parking can be tricky. I don't know if they have a parking lot in the building they are in. I had to go around the block a few times to get...

You can receive all this and more, and still be asked to tip 20% on an iPad! Just yesterday, (Sunday, September 1st @ 1:30pm), I got the fabulous opportunity to spend nearly ten dollars on two donuts. "That'll be $7.95. You can get the donuts on the left side," were actually the first and only words uttered to me during the entire experience! The donuts were delicious. They came individually boxed. And the girls must've known I wanted some exercise, because they gave them to me without asking if I wanted a bag, so I got to carry them in my arms along with everything I was already carrying all the way to my car. How considerate to think of my fitness!
If you love expensive but delicious donuts and walking into an establishment without so much as a greeting, smile, or good ol' fashioned human to human acknowledgement, Old Ferry Donuts is the...
Read moreIncredible doughnuts - some of the best in LA, in fact. Butter pistachio is the best I’ve had so far - a ring doughnut with pistachio crumbs on top and a light whipped pistachio filling. The crème brûlée ball is great too - filled with vanilla-bean cream and a crunchy sugar coating on the outside. The matcha ball was very good as well. I wasn’t sold however on their cake doughnut, a bit dense for my taste.
The interior has a fun retro vibe and there is a seating area with a few tables and chairs if you want to eat your goods in house. Service was fast and friendly. Parking can be a bit tricky but nothing out of the ordinary for K-town. We did find street parking on a Saturday afternoon though FWIW
They have some creative flavors I’d love to try next time like cream cheese and onion sesame. I’d recommend coming with friends so you can try a bit of each! We...
