    Croissant display.

    Reasonably priced and delicious. The apple fritter was crispy on the edges and fluffy in the middle. The ham and cheese croissants had a good ratio of filling.

    Busy place with busier parking lot--across from Starbuck's. Donuts light and airy. Not too sweet (as a matter of fact, I wanted more icing on my twist).

    This was a recommendation of Yelp. I wanted to find the best donuts in the South Bay and this was one of them. We drove down to the plaza and didn't exactly see it. It's all the way in the corner next to Wilmington Blvd. The donuts are the best I've had from a small business store. They were light and airy and most importantly, delicious. I'm glad that it worked out for me and my family and look forward to my next visit. We ordered two sugar and glazed, three different sprinkles, old fashions, some chocolate and others. Definitely give this place a try. The workers are very nice they have a lot of other goodies to enjoy.

    I stopped in for a donut and bought a bear claw. I was greeted with a friendly smile the owners were friendly, and the location was clean and fairly priced I will be back when I'm in the area again.

    Friendly service. Fresh and delicious donuts. Open very early in the morning. Affordable.

    Came here on a Tuesday morning and they had a really good selection of donuts. I'm not big on donuts but I'm pregnant and had a craving. They had my favorite donut which is the chocolate with peanuts on top. I was impressed with their donuts and so were my coworkers. Treated my coworkers and we were all happy. They also have muffins that look good so I'll try them next time I stop by. Good service and prices. As soon as I was paying the donut shop got suddenly full....lots of people and it seemed like frequent visitors stopped by for some yummy donuts. Nice local stop.

    My entire family loves this local donut shop. My cousin loves it so much that even her cake was a mountain of Alex Donuts. Best donuts in town.

    A dozen! They gave one for free :)

    See all

I don't remember if he called it US DONUTS like it is nowadays, but that's what I remember about this spot growing up, so it already holds a lot of local nostalgia. As years gone by to this day, the newer owners through the years have pimped it out with different decors, ice creams, sandwiches, Lotto, etc.. It still feels like the old mixed in with a new school Asian-owned donut shops, minus the classic smoking inside by the owners and older folks like in the 80s. The parking is always in free abundance as it always has been before. The donuts themselves have actually improved because there's a little more variety along with the classics, plus their donuts taste wayyyy healthier and lighter while not losing flavor! Not as oily as it used to be by past owners! I personally love their crumb and blueberry donuts because they have that delicious texture that turns to fluffiness in the middle. Customer service has always been awesome. Nowadays, instead of an old lady or old man, you have a younger pretty lady helping you with your order. The place isn't too big or small, plus you it's cool to get a donut here after getting a Starbucks or some foods nearby in this same stripmall. It's like a perfect spot for some classic, homely desserts!

They usually have the twist and glaze around that time. I'm all about the prices and quality of coffee. Get scratchers and lotto from here too! It's a lucky business for that. I've had a sandwich made once, and, I remember the croissant being wonderfully buttery and flaky. Their croissants are huge! By 10am, there was only 1 person working. I didn't have to wait in line. There are only a few tables here. It's best to take your food to-go.

    Review #986 2026-056…read more Food Order: Boston Cream $3.95 Butter Pistachio $4.95 Cookies & Cream $3.95 Crème Brûlée $4.95 Lemon Poppyseed $3.95 Raspberry Ring $3.95 Another one bites the dust... bada dum dum dum... During my freebies birthday run yesterday, I was planning on going to Old Ferry Donut after picking up a boba next door, only to find the shop closed. \(`0´)/ Known for unique flavors & vibrant retro-pop 70s branding (cute hamster mascot with bold orange & brilliant blue colors; it's featured on 2-/4-donut boxes), this Korean-inspired premium donut shop originated in Seoul a decade ago before expanding to several S. CA locations, opening in Torrance a couple of years ago. OFD's donuts are popular for its rich creams & chewy dough; Butter Pistachio & Crème Brûlée are just 2 of their signature flavors. I was going through a donut phase when I initially stopped by Old Ferry Donut. Large windows let lots of light in, & once you step across the threshold, you're hit with a strong K-pop vibe & loud music. They even had a collab with SEVENTEEN last fall during their tour with 2 flavors: Marble Strawberry & Blue Coconut! Unlike the regular mom & pop's or commercialized donut shops, they don't offer a discounted 1/2 or full dozen box. After asking what's their most popular picks, I chose Butter Pistachio & Crème Brûlée, & added Lemon Poppyseed & Raspberry Ring for myself, Cookies & Cream & Boston Cream for the kiddos. Service was alright... I didn't need a sales pitch, but would like some info on the donuts to make an informed decision since they're at a premium price even though they're not "freshly made" (every hour or less) like SD&C just down the street. The Butter Pistachio is a major hit... fluffy & light, a slightly chewy yeasty donut stuffed with a mildly sweet whipped pistachio cream filling & topped with a salty-sweet buttery streusel... how can you not be addicted? And totally worth it! Crème Brûlée is also popular for its delicate, crackly caramelized sugar crust & airy brioche dough that's filled with a rich vanilla custard. Good flavor, but maybe on the older side? Since it's been sitting for awhile, it lost that fresh fluffy texture & was kinda dry. I really liked the Lemon Poppyseed; it's right up there with Butter Pistachio. The lemon glaze is just the right amount of sweet & tart, & the donut was fresh & fluffy! The Raspberry Ring is pretty good, matching that sweet & tart of Lemon Poppyseed, but I like the citrus zing of the latter more. What's different is the former has a raspberry jam filling in addition to a glaze & the latter is just a yeast donut with fruity glaze. Kids didn't say much about Cookies & Cream & Boston Cream... I figure you can't go wrong with these flavors. The filling might have been a bit much as I saw the cream oozing out of the donut & onto my LO's face & shirt. His sister was slightly better at containing the custard blob. LOL With premium prices, It's debatable if Old Ferry's donuts are worth it... quality, freshness, & size. Hmmm... I like them & their creative flavors, but they're a tad too sweet & not as "fresh" in comparison to SD&C. Sad to see Old Ferry Donut permanently gone from the South Bay, but they still have locations in San Gabriel & Buena Park if you're willing to take a drive.

Order: Classic glazed--light, not too sweet, filling. Service: Sweet and efficient. Good for: Grab-and-go (seating mostly empty). Why it's trending: Fun branding + community energy = viral charm. Bottom line: Perfect stop if you're nearby and need a donut with personality.
