The Original Ferrell's Donuts- Scotts Valley — Restaurant in Scotts Valley

Next time I'll take my doughnuts without the side of eye rolls, scoffs, grunts and not so under your breath profanities lol But the...

Like others mentioned before.

The woman behind the counter had this scowl on her face, no greeting, and just so much negative energy. Seems like the owner is aware of the employee.

Hardly any selection available of donuts at 8;30 am. I would have purchased for my family , but why patronize a business where you don't feel welcome? Not looking to be treated special, just feel like the business wants you there.

No thanks, in and out with...
