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.

Old Ferry Donut = quick carb win…read more Parking: Easy in the plaza. Vibe: Cute, playful, and totally Instagram-ready--donut display, merch wall, stickered mirrors. 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.

I've been here several times. I recently came wanting a Nutella donut because that one is my…read morefavorite. Sadly, thy had just sold their last one. I settled for the butter crumb donut an I was pleasantly surprised. The yeast donut was soft, moist and eggy. I hate when the donut base is just dry bread where I just end up eating the top layer. This one was eaten in its entirety. Really good. I might get it again next time. Yes, I'll definitely come back!

The good: I tried the M&M donut as well as the cherry glazed…read moredonut. I also ordered a matcha donut and hazelnut donut. I tried their donut balls (bigger than donut holes but smaller than a regular donut and without the hole) as well during a party. They have square donuts and jumbo sized donuts as well. The bad: The cherry flavor tasted artificial. M&Ms had a dull white color as though they were old or sitting exposed to air for sometime. There's outdoor seating but no indoor seating. The interior is quite small. The donuts were just okay to me. I was hoping to try the blueberry flavor but I didn't see it when I came. The interesting: They have locations all over the US but they also exist overseas! They have e-gift cards online. The flavors are definitely more classic compared to fancy donut spots like Sidecar or Old Ferry Donut.

Donuts were delicious! The happy hour was delightful- ordered a vanilla matcha as our free drink…read moreand it did not disappoint. Creamy, milky, and a perfect balance of sweetness that coats the tongue. Favorite donuts for today's visit include butter and salt and blueberry cheesecake. Butter and salt- balanced, salty sweet goodness, and an outer crunch shell leading to pure fluff. Blueberry cheesecake- soft, vibrant, with a juicy surprise in the middle. Highly recommend if in need of an elevated office surprise or sweet treat.

Sidecar might change your mind about cake donuts…read more I'm usually a raised-donut person, but these are different. Fresh, they eat more like a pastry--super moist, rich without being heavy, and none of that dry crumble. Chocolate (Valrhona) is the one--deep, smooth, perfectly tender. The vegan strawberry matcha is a sleeper hit--the strawberry glaze smells like a field of ripe berries and actually makes you pause before the first bite, with the matcha keeping it grounded. They only had two raised that day, but both delivered. Vanilla was soft and airy, and the huckleberry had that bright tart-sweet glaze with zero fake flavor. Only note: don't over-order. Next day = noticeably more crumbly. Go, pick a few, eat them fresh. Clean plate club.

Came about 5:45am for some breakfast after pulling an allllllllllll nighter…read more A classic donut shop for sure. They've been around forever. I pass by so often I finally got the chance to try them out. Ordered a bacon egg and cheese on a jalapeño cheese bagel. Bagel was SPICY! Not extremely but enough to tingle ur lips and tongue. weeee. It was pretty good. Not the best but good. If u need a good tingle on ur tongue I suggest their bagel. I also asked for orange juice thinking it was fresh squeezed for some reason-- all night brain I tell ya. It was from a bottle. And not the good kind. I didn't even finish it. They def pulled one over my head just pouring bottled orange juice into plastic cups. I was bamboozled !! Donut holes and all donuts are a pale yellow. They look underbaked. The donut holes were very chewy and doughy. I would've preferred a more crispy baked donut hole. More color to it for sure. Just leave them to bake/fry a bit longer. It's okay. They'll be okay. Service was nice, they were kind to us. No issues there. It was pretty busy at this time. They accept tap/card/cash. Small and tight parking lot shared with other businesses. No restroom. No seating.

The donuts are great and the manager is so kind and friendly! Highly recommend!!!!!!!read more

Yum yum donuts San Pedro (which is a 4 minute drive from us) was open but when we arrived there was a line, and whoever works at that time was not at the window. We decided to take the drive here.

This will be our late night craving place from now on!

Perhaps their name means a place to retreat and get donuts. Location is in a strip mall on the side of where Ross is on PCH in Torrance. Lots of parking on a Saturday afternoon. I had just stopped by off and on after shopping at Ross. Made a quick stop to purchase donuts holes or a donut for someone else or purchase very occasion donuts for the hubby and myself. On a recent visit, purchased a glazed old fashioned and a plain donut. Split them with the hubby and both were good! As for the other donuts in the glass case, they had basic flavors. No specialty donuts. They also have savory options such as bagels and sandwiches. Overall the experiences at Donut Den have been A-OK.

Because it isn't really that good.... You can skip it.
