creme brulee donut
Sarah K.

heard so many good things about this place but it was pretty lackluster. came at evening time and got the creme brulee donut and another donut i can't remember. creme brulee donut was not good. sitting out all day made the cream taste funny and the bread stale and old. tasted like old grease too. other donut was just so dry. more dry than a popeyes biscuit. so it's serious. these were also crazy expensive. i've had good donuts that were also sitting out for a bit. i even ate a donut once that i left on my counter on two days and it was better than this. not sure if this was an off day or something but i appreciate the concept of a creme brulee donut it sounded really good!

4/19/2026 3 1/2 Stars - Given 1/2 Star more due to good customer service. But stars taken out due to disappointing donut flavors and online order cancellation without alerting me in advance. Not my first time at Old Ferry Donut, but this would be my first review. Saw online that they had limited edition Dubai donuts, so wanted to try it. Also, trying other donut flavors I've not tried before. I've had and enjoyed their popular flavors such as Butter Pistachio, Tiramisu, and Creme Brulee donuts many times before at their Buena Park and now closed Cerritos location. DO NOT ORDER ON OLD FERRY DONUT WEBSITE!!! Placed an order on the same day for pick-up. I asked a family member who was in Buena Park that day to pick up in my stead. I was told that the online order got cancelled due to problems on their website ordering system. The manager was fixing that issue. I did not get an email, phone call or text alerting me of that in advance. If I was picking up the order, I would not have been happy about that. IF you want to order ahead: Order via Door Dash or call the store directly. Old Ferry website is currently having issues and orders may go through alongside payments, but the payment will get cancelled on their side. DUBAI CHOCO According to their website, this was available only at the Buena Park location. Filling is in like a cream cheese flavor with that creamy, tangy flavor. Middle is kadayif, which gives it that crunchy texture. Then the outer layer is covered in chocolate coating and a dusting of cocoa powder. Overall, it does not taste like dubai chocolate. There's a vague flavor of it, but overall the flavors are all over the place with the tangy cream cheese flavored filling, crunchy kadayif and chocolate on top. It definitely needed pistachio paste! With everything said, the donut texture was good. DUBAI LOTUS Nothing reminded me of a biscoff. It was also made of a cream cheese flavored filling with kadayif in the middle. Top was sprinkled with biscoff, but it didn't lend any flavors. The donut had a good fluffy texture. I liked this one better than the Dubai Choco. PEANUT BUTTER & JELLY Tasted like peanut butter and raspberry. Sharp, tangy raspberry jam. Crunchy chopped peanuts on top. The filling was creamy peanut butter. However, wished it was strawberry or grape filling instead. The donut was a bit dense, which took away from the overall experience. Also, the raspberry jam was not a good choice. COCONUT Tasted like tangy plain yogurt and coconut combined. More sour flavor. Coconut glaze and coconut topping on top adds more sweetness. Don't like the aftertaste of the over sweet glaze. Also, a bit fake tasting too. COFFEE CREAM BALL Definitely has that fake coffee flavor, but a cappuccino-like flavor cream. There was powdered sugar and cocoa on top. Donut was fluffy. MANGO CREAM BALL Fake, fake, fake mango flavor with mango flavored powder on top. The mango filling texture was creamy, yet it was not packed and was given little. Donut texture was decent. Out of everything I tried, the Dubai Lotus was most enjoyed. The worst was the Mango Cream Ball. CUSTOMER SERVICE Although I did not get an email, text or phone call in advance of my order cancellation, I did talk with a staff member over the phone once I found out my order was cancelled. She apologized and gave me an explanation as to what was going on. She gave an extra complimentary donut (Cookies & Cream) which was eaten in transit, so I never got to taste it. She also gave us a discount too, which was nice. My overall experience of the donuts purchased was disappointing. The flavors I've tried today, I would not purchase again. However, I will stick to the flavors I have enjoyed: Butter Pistachio and Tiramisu. The customer service was great albeit no one let us know of the cancellation earlier. But she made up for it, which I appreciate.

Tiramisu
Paula H.

I'm not a big donut fan but have been wanting to visit this place! And, it did not disappoint. The shop itself had a really nice theme! I loved the interior design. It's a bit small with only enough room to order and one area to eat. However, there are tables and chairs outside. We got the tiramisu donut and it was delicious! The donut was airy and the cream is light. It wasn't too sweet, just perfect. Highly recommend!

strawberry cream donut
Angeline N.

I came here pretty late at night and this was one of the places still open so we decided to grab dessert since it seemed like a pretty popular place. There was just one guy working and he was nice! It's pretty small inside so definitely more of a grab and go vibe. I tried the strawberry cream filled donut. It could have been because I came at night, but the donut was pretty dry and stale. The cream inside was really fluffy and more on the sweeter side. I could possibly give this place another try earlier in the day if I'm ever there again!

Kelly C.

The donuts were good, but nothing spectacular for me. I still prefer the hot donuts at Krispy Kreme. The tiramisu was better than the pistachio. The cream inside was a bit much for me. Too creamy and sweet. HAPPY DONUTING!

6/5/26 Old Ferry Donut Buena Park, CA... I ordered Pistachio & Peanut Butter Donuts on National Donut Day! No deal here, but these donuts were great! The guy at the front counter was really nice. Parking structure in back. Big place here, many food and drink places to choose from, 4 different levels. This business is located on the 1st floor just coming out of the parking structure and was easy to find as it was one of the first ones I saw. Ample parking as their is at least 4 levels as well that I saw. Clean store inside and vibrant with the orange color. Come and partake! Highly recommend!

Outside Menu
Sergio S.

The ambiance is quiet, never fully busy and relaxed. The customer service is great and comforting. The donuts however are not the pick of the litter and not of my choice. The raspberry was bland and double matcha was dry. I was fortunate enough to get the discount with the mix donuts but it was not something I was interested in at the end due to the lack of taste. The outside seating is cute and organized but not something I would try again. 6/10.

Really great donut spot at The Source plaza. First tried it last week and had to come back to try more flavors. That's how you know it made a good first impression. Donuts have unique flavor profiles yet are still light and airy and not overly sweet. I had the Earl Grey donut and I love their cake donut! I tried the matcha today and it is a yeast donut and while good, I prefer the cake donut. My husband is obsessed with their raspberry bomb that has real raspberry filling inside. He also tried the Boston Creme and enjoyed it. Something for everyone here.

Butter Pistachio and creme brulee
Tuyetnhi M.

3.5/5 stars overall Good service. Decent variety. Donuts were tried: 1. Creme brulee, 3.2/5: the filling was not of quality. It was just ok. 2. Butter Pistachio, 4.2/5: pretty darn good!

Old Ferry Donut is a premium donut brand from South Korea and they opened their first US location here at the Source OC. Since then they have been expanding across Southern California. What sets them apart from your typical neighborhood donut shop is their selection of gourmet flavors including butter pistachio, peanut butter, creme brulee. While their donuts command a premium price of $5-$7 per donut, their size and generous fillings make them a truly worthwhile treat.

Cookies and Cream and Butter Pistachio flavor
Yvette W.

I tried the Cookie and Cream and Butter Pistachio flavored donuts and they were incredible! I ordered on a delivery app, so I can't say anything for the location or staff, but these were the best donuts I've had. They were huge, I only had half of one at once, the toppings are flavorful and they do not skimp out. The fillings were super delicious as well, and all the donuts were well filled. They were like really tasty flavored cream puff donuts. I definitely want to try more of the flavors!

Lisa L.

I went here on a Thursday evening and was craving a butter pistachio donut. I have been back multiple times and the service here is so quick! Staff are so friendly to ask questions as well. I really love the ambiance in the store and the outdoor seating to enjoy. We even got a donut on the house - the maple pecan - which was so nice of them! I highly recommend trying such high quality donuts here at the source and I will definitely stop by again.

I've passed by Old Ferry Donut countless times during my shopping sprees at The Source but only told myself I would get one if I was truly craving a donut. My sweet tooth kicked in and I ended up buying the random choice mystery box of 4. Now I'm addicted to their donuts! Their flavors are all so unique, and even went viral for their Pistachio Butter donut. Upon opening my box, I received one! I also got what looked like a PB&J flavor, tiramisu, and another coffee powder dusted donut. All of them tasted great. Each donut is indulgent, so I only took a few bites out of each. To drink, they have some of their own beverages in the cooler section. I got a banana milk pouch to go with the donuts. I'd say if you're unsure, go for the mystery box. It's a good deal and I wasn't mad at any of the flavors. They're delicious and I would surely come again to try other flavors!

Loved every bite of my donuts from Yozm…read more The store was hard for me to find as the GPS/Google Map location was incorrect. The store is not on the ground floor and it's also not located within the Bakery Cafe or the food hall on the second floor. It's actually on the 3rd floor right off of the escalator inside of another food court type establishment. I ended up walking in circles and within their various corridors looking for the mall map on all three floors looking for Yozm. The saving grace was that their donuts were worth the trek and hassle. It has loads of fluffy and not too sweet whipped cream and also not too sweet sugar dusted donuts encasement. I loved both the bananas cream and strawberry cream donuts. I wouldn't mind returning just to get some more donuts and also grab some matcha latte nearby. The service here isn't the friendliest or the most helpful. I had to ask for a bag despite purchasing a box of donuts along with other pastries that was on display. Really unthoughtful knowing I was expected to walk through the mall without my items bagged. He couldn't muster any effort to look professional or attempt not looking visibly annoyed. The bakery area has ample seating inside where you can go ahead and devour your donuts and other drinks you might wanna grab from nearby cafe. I wouldn't mind returning again just because it's a little bit more convenient to get my fluffy cream donuts fix from here. But for now, I still prefer m going way out to Century City at the Knotted, which I 150% prefer.

I had never tried Botox before in my life, but I decided to get it for the first time yesterday as well. I don't think the results have shown yet, so I'm planning to post a review once they do. Since we were already in Orange County, we stopped by a bakery at the Source Mall. I bought several pastries there. The fresh cream bread was very delicious. I didn't try the custard cream bread because my younger brothers ate it, so I can't really comment on the taste. I also haven't tried the pecan pie yet. Lately, Dubai chocolate cookies have been extremely popular and trendy, so I asked whether this bakery had them. They said yes, so I bought one for $6.75. However, when I tried it this morning, it was absolutely not a Dubai chocolate cookie. It was basically just a chocolate pie. There was no pistachio flavor at all, and no pistachios inside--just a very ordinary chocolate pie. That part was extremely disappointing. Also, yesterday I asked the bakery if they could provide paper plates so we could cut and share the pastries, but she said they didn't have any. Other bakeries usually provide paper plates, so it was disappointing as well.

Whenever I go there, there are working dudes grabbing some sandwiches and mothers getting donuts for their kids and themselves. Being that the food is good and prices are reasonable, (especially in this era of high inflation) this establishment is always busy... but it's worth the wait. Get there early in the AM before the donuts sell out. The pastrami sandwiches rule. So do the smoothies.

It gives a great caffeine boost, keeps me going, and is honestly just enjoyable to drink. The shop has a simple, casual vibe and it was nice and quiet when I went because of the time of day. I've passed by before during the early morning hours though, and it can get pretty busy, which says a lot about the place. Parking is convenient, and it's easy to get in and out. Service was prompt, and my drink was made pretty quickly after ordering. I also love that they seal the cup with the vacuum-style top so you can pop the straw through. It really helps prevent spills when you're on the go. This is officially my favorite spot for Vietnamese iced coffee, and I'll definitely be back. Highly recommend checking them out!

When we pulled up, first thing we noticed was a line going out the door (for context, there was only a few families in line ahead of us). Very good sign. Typical SoCal donut shop vibe. What stood out was the size of their raised donuts and croissants. Their twists were massive compared to most donut shops. Then there's the croissants, they had to be the size of my head, and I wear a size 8 hat if that gives you any indication. I should have snapped some pictures of the display.
