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.

Had another place for an apple fritter and was very disappointed in them recently. Someone said…read moreRandy's as the best apple fritter. They were so right!!!

I love the OG Randy's and I like the one in El Segundo... this one was just OK. I did find myself…read morethinking "Do they make the donuts here?" The blueberry iced that I have didn't seem as moist as it has in the past. Normally I'd probably rate a 3/5 based on quality of the donut I had BUT -- I do like that they have unique flavours. That has something going for them! 2026: 58/100

Sidecar is located in a busy shopping center, right across from the entrance to Trader Joes, so you…read morecan imagine what parking is like. They have two main types of donuts -- super dense and cakey, or lighter and airy. Most are the cakey variety, so if you are into lighter Krispy Kreme type donuts, there won't be many options for you. They have some interesting flavors to choose from. I have tried both the thick, crumbly ones and the lighter variety. Both are high quality, but their cake donuts are just way too dense and chewy for my liking. I did enjoy their light vanilla glazed traditional style donut, but at more than $1/bite, it's not worth it in my opinion. They do have good, made-to-order coffee; iced oat milk latte with a touch of vanilla is my go-to. Props to the staff for keeping the line moving, offering suggestions, and making good drinks. I'm giving 5 stars because there's nothing bad to report, I'm just more of a Krispy Kreme or rundown mom & pop donut shop kinda guy.

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.

Review #946 2026-010…read more Donuts Order: 20 Donuts (includes Buttermilk, Old Fashioned, Raspberry Jelly, Vanilla Frosted with Sprinkles, Cream Puff, etc.) + 7 Donut Holes; TooGoodToGo Surprise Bag: $6.62 ($5.99 + sales tax) I've been to Doughboy Donuts & Bagel a handful of times since I moved to the South Bay about 2 decades ago. In the earlier days, the donut shop was supposedly opened 24/7 (at least the hours were posted so on Yelp) but I never had a middle of the night/morning run. Since then, I may stop by afterwards when I'm at the plaza for lunch at Katsu Bar (refer to Review #891) or boba at Sharetea (refer to Review #393). Doughboy Donuts & Bagel is not quite the standard mom & pop donut shop since they also have a smoothies & breakfast menu that includes bagels, croissant sandwiches, & breakfast burritos. The shop is on the north end of Jade Plaza, off the busy corner of Crenshaw & Lomita Blvds., across from Torrance Crossroads. The service is iffy at best... not knowing if I'm welcomed with a warm smile or the feeling of "what do you want" as if I'm a bother. Yikes! I find myself returning more since I joined the TooGoodToGo movement of food waste in 06/2025. TGTG offer 2 options at Doughboy Donuts & Bagel: $3.99 or $5.99 Surprise Bag with a 10-hr. pick-up window between 6:00 AM - 4:00 PM. DD&B has largest pick-up window, & the boxes are usually ready at the time of redemption. My daughter was hanging out with her friends at the local bowling alley (kinda belated birthday & summer hangout), & I didn't want to serve cake so this TGTG surprise bag was the perfect sweet treat to accompany the other snacks served. This was my 6th TGTG & 2nd donut shop. Since I picked them up late afternoon, I'm guessing TGTG surprise bag was either leftovers from yesterday or/or this morning's breakfast rush (hours are from 3:00 AM - 10:00 PM); I stopped in at 10:30 AM. I informed the server that I'm doing a TGTG pick-up & she sorta shouted "how many" (I'm guessing some people order more than 1 bag?); I reached over the counter so she could see my phone showing a $6.99 surprise bag & swiped for redemption. I saw her assemble that ubiquitous pink box & went back to fill it. In the meantime, I walked around & took some pics, particularly the menu (so I don't get sticker shock on future visits); the going rate is $1.85/donut but it doesn't mention the fancies, cronuts, etc. which I'm fairly certain has a higher price point. The older lady was quite rude when she came out with my box, shouting at me for taking pics. Ehhh... hello... are you not aware that you have a Yelp business page which is claimed by someone at Doughboy Donuts & Bagel. While she didn't threaten to withhold my paid TGTG box, her body language basically said "delete the pics or else." I didn't have time so I showed her I deleted the pics, then she handed over my box. ＼(｀0´)／ I got 20 donuts & 7 donut holes, about 4.5-lbs. worth: I weighed it when I got home. Yes I supposedly deleted the pics, but they were sitting in the trash so I retrieve them & posted. DD&B might have an issue with their customers taking & posting pics since the last ones I could find were a year ago. O_o Normally, a dozen donuts is $17.99, & TGTG's estimated value was $18.00, given that I received 20 donuts & 7 donut holes, I definitely got my money's worth! Even after that eventful pick-up, I returned again because I wanted to have some summer treats for my friend's summer BBQ party & tell her about TGTG & its partners. I dropped in closer to the TGTG closing window, & had the easiest pick-up with a friendly younger lady. I was in & out in a min. & left the car running with my fam in the car... it was that fast! I forgot to snap a pic, but I do remember it being equally heavy as the 1st & with more variety, including my fav: cinnamon roll. DD&B has a large variety of donuts & competitive prices in line with the area. They're fresh, though not fresh, hot like Sidecar Doughnuts & Coffee down the street. I like Doughboy Donuts & Bagels, but wouldn't go out of my way for them, particularly when I'm playing Russian Roulette (not quite... but just for the randomness of service) with the server/cashier. If it's a regular visit, not TGTG, I would turn around & head out if I see that older lady behind the counter. Recommended: Cinnamon Roll, Cinnamon Crumb, Apple Fritter, Cronut, Cruller, Cream Puff, Jelly.

We've been coming to King's Hawaiian for years, and I usually pick up my son's birthday cake here because the cakes are always delicious and the bakery has such a fun, welcoming atmosphere. When we came in, Noah greeted us right away with a cheerful "Aloha, welcome!" and was very friendly throughout our visit. My granddaughter thought his McLovin name tag was hilarious. He also offered us sprinkles for the cake and even offered to help carry her bag out to the car, which was very thoughtful. Noah also did the writing on our cake, and I was so impressed with how nice his handwriting was. I'm attaching a picture because it came out so beautifully! It was all the little things about the service that made me want to leave this review. Everyone was welcoming and helpful, and we had another great experience at King's Hawaiian.

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.

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.
