    Butter pistachio, matcha cream ball, and mango cream ball
    Christopher A.

    While waiting for my son's mom we just walked around and had to try these donuts as my son recommend this to me. I ordered the butter pistachio, mango cream ball and matcha cream ball. My son ordered butter pistachio and Dubai lotus . I tried the butter pistachio and was so good and very sweet . I expect the other donuts to be as good . If I could I would order one of each . Will come here again . For 5 donuts came out to more than 25 dollars it's definitely worth the price .

    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.

    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!

    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!

    Such a cute shop inside! Happy to have experienced it with no line. Service inside was kind and friendly. I ordered a creme brulee donut because I've always wanted to try one! No seating inside but had some tables outside the shop and plenty of seating throughout the mall. Donut taste is where they lost the star. Donut did not have enough filling in my opinion, the brulee part was barely there and it was cold. Maybe we were getting an old batch. It made me want to try another creme brulee donut, but maybe not from this place. I recommend trying the pastries in the bakery on the 2nd floor if you have a sweet tooth, those looked better!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    Outside Menu

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!

From taking my order to getting my drink, service was fast. Plenty of seating and outdoor parking available-- perfect for studying or doing work. I've gone to this location several times for matcha and decided to try one of their fall seasonal specials this time-- a carrot cake latte with cream cheese cream top. I'm so glad that the barista recommended this drink because it was the literal definition of fall. The latte had a great subtle taste of carrot cake with a hint of a spices. I like how the sweetness wasn't too overwhelming with the perfect balance of espresso. I also got the ube cookie with a white chocolate pretzel on top of it-- it had a soft texture and a subtle taste of ube. I've also tried their oreo mallow cookie before and it was good too. Overall, aesthetic and tasty, would recommend!

I'm not sure if they don't have the AC running enough because the place gets so crowded, but I was sitting there trying to study and eventually got so hot that I had no choice but to leave. Honestly, I feel like a coffee shop being THAT hot is serious enough to take off two stars. The coffee itself deserves five stars--it really does taste that good! But since I have to rate the overall experience, I just can't give it five stars this time.

    It absolutely pains me to leave a 3 star review for this place. I've been coming here for YEARS and…read moreI remember when they first opened and I would try all their new items and "test" drinks and pastries. Yet recently I've been coming and truly haven't been enjoying it the same. I used to come and study or work as I enjoyed their drinks and baked goods. The environment is usually buzzing with more people working or studying or groups of people talking. Their pastries are always good and yummy which is a BIG hit. Yet I am a big coffee person, the quality of the coffees and drinks have gone down hill a lot. I would always order the Campfire latte or the Smoking Spaniard latte (when it still had cardamom in it) and would LOVE it. But now when I order drinks, most of them aren't very good or are missing flavors. The Smoking Spaniard is still yummy yet it used to be sooo much better back in the day, now it taste more like a regular spanish latte. I always see the new seasonal drinks and menu and get so excited to try them just incase I find a new favorite. Most of them have been a miss sadly :( The fruit lattes and drinks from their seasonal menu usually has actual chunks of fruit in it which makes it hard to drink and you have to chew while drinking a latte ;( not my fave. I went in yesterday to try their summer '26 seasonal drinks which is Yakult! I was sooo excited. A blueberry Yakult matcha latte! yummy! I got there, got a new earl grey lemon loaf from the bakery, got my blueberry Yakult matcha latte and sat down to try. Sadly, it didn't hit... the blueberries are still super chunky so I had to use 2 different straws because my first one got stuck with blueberries in it. The Yakult foam was really good but the blueberries weren't :( I HIGHLY recommend when making fruit syrups for coffee, boil down the fruit and blend it or strain out the big pieces. I sadly have stopped really coming to Smoking Tiger so often because I haven't been impressed and other coffee shops have been popping up that has better quality now :( Smoking Tiger has been focusing more on quantity of stores rather than quality of their food and drinks.

My family and I went over to their food items and had a field day picking out what we wanted from containers. I got their sweet honey bread which was amazing, I've been a kick ordering this at bakeries. The blueberry muffin was okay, it was a bit crumbly. Corn mochi was quite interesting but I learned to like it. Sweet Potato mochi was solid and then I didn't try the Chestnut mochi. It was overall a good setting to get work done and plug your laptop in, use their wifi or restroom.

We were also there with a baby who needed to go down for a nap, which made the long, unexpected delay even more difficult. On top of that, they had already run out of matcha and the menu was extremely limited, which was disappointing considering that's one of the main draws of a place like this. Overall, poor communication and lack of transparency really ruined the experience. I understand delays happen, but being upfront and managing expectations would have made a huge difference. Extremely disappointed. We went to this place a long time ago when they first opened and remembered them having a more extensive menu and it being far better. Sad to see that this place has gone downhill. My family and I will definitely not be coming back again.
