    The blueberry donut is apparently new, so I had to try it out. The store was empty at 10:00 AM, so I had my choice of all the donuts available. The inside of the store is rather small, but seems to be enough to get the donuts sold. There is not much hype online but having a Korean history definitely provides a mystic about the taste of the donuts.

    Blueberry Cake, Crème Brûlée, Tiramisu, Butter Pistachio. Cookies and Cream, Choco Fudge Glazed, and regular glazed.

    Ordered a few donuts online. Very easy to pick what I wanted and the pictures of the donuts were great! Arrived at the store and our order was ready and waiting and the worker there made sure we had napkins and a good amount of utensils before she handed over the donuts. It was a pretty chill little donut shop with some merch on one side and the counter. Very well kept and clean. Will definitely try to come back for the other flavors. All the donuts tasted great and weren't too sweet. Butter Pistachio was a hit and the limited time flavor blueberry was great too. The crème brûlée donut was really good we also ordered the tiramisu, raised chocolate, oreo and plain glaze. All were tasty and not too sweet and were nice and soft. Definitely worth trying if you've never been.

    So many options!

    Our first visit and I think we need to visit again to try the other flavors! We tried: Original glazed - not too sweet Lemon poppy seed - it wasn't lemony enough for me. I thought this would be my favorite but it wasn't. Cream filled - the cream filling was light and not too sweet. I found it oddly refreshing to eat. Peanut butter - I did not expect to like it as much as I did. This was tied for the top. There's a small parking lot. Arrive early or take a tour of the surrounding area to find a spot. Enjoy!

    I had a lovely experience at Old Ferry Donut (San Gabriel). I ordered the Tiramisu Donut ($4.95). It's a fluffy, BIG donut that tastes like a decadent tiramisu. It's also filled with a light, soft cream. DELICIOUS! I arrived at Old Ferry Donut (San Gabriel) on a Wednesday (around 3:42PM). Parking is simple. There's a competitive customer parking lot. And there's a city public parking lot about a two minute walk away. Staff is very friendly, professional, and welcoming. Staff maintained a bright smile throughout my visit. Staff immediately helped me. Customers can order at the self-service kiosk or counter; however, the kiosk felt very dated & the prices on the kiosk felt less transparent. I recommend just ordering at the counter. There's no penalty for using card at this donut establishment. As mentioned, I love the Tiramisu Donut ($4.95). It's not too sweet; rather, it all felt balanced. However, this is a VERY messy donut; I recommend eating this donut with a fork and knife. The powder fall everywhere, and your clothes can quickly get stained with chocolate powder. Still, it's a delicious pastry. On ambiance, Old Ferry Donut (San Gabriel) is comfortable. This business is more reminiscent of a cafe than a typical donut shop. There's customer internet with password; details on the counter. There's a gender neutral restroom. And there's an electrical outlet & outlet adaptor for devices. The location is fairly small; there's one interior table and one small counter. Fortunately, this place felt airy and well-ventilated. There's also some upbeat, fun music in this clean spot. Overall, I found unexpected joy at Old Ferry Donut (San Gabriel). There's sincere passion & hard work within these walls. If searching for a special donut for a special someone, this is an easy spot to recommend. 4.9 out of 5! Go!

    Was craving a coffee and stubble duping this spot on Yelp. And of course the donut was the star of the show! I had the crème brûlée donut and was immediately in love. It's the kind of donut that would make your heart happy! Loved the taste of the toasted glaze on top and filling inside. The donut was surprisingly light and not too doughy. I had their ice cream latte which was a bit too milky for my liking. I feel like a simple black coffee would have gone perfectly paired with the donut. The girl working there was very welcoming and in fact recommended the donut! So that was a win.

    4/16/26 Hmn, this Butter Pistachio donut is nudging at me "pick me, pick me!"-- BEST choice EVER!
    Jennifer W.

    4/26/25 How did I not drop a review here!? Oh for shame! Thandar is super awesome, friendly--always providing service with a smile. Donuts are so daRn decadent & devilishly delicious that I can't help but return over & over! Cute donut shop with retro design inside & out. The butter pistachio got me on a chokehold- it beckoned and I was hooked!!! So soft, rich, decadent but amazingly not overly sweet. Hubby really fawned over the regular peanut butter donut. Both have this captivating filling that'll bring you to your knees. Dare I say, a mouthgasm? (Stole that word from fellow Yelp Elite, Leonard). Nuff said. Run. Don't walk! Coz once they're sold out for the day, you're @$$3D out Parking can be tricky as it shares a lot that includes Paris Baguette & Bonchon. Enjoy!

    Tastes like a frappucino blast

    Hmmm might be our new favorite donut place. This place has unique flavors such as blueberry, lemon poppy seed (although tastes more tangy & fruity). It's, as Asians like to say, not too sweet. They don't skimp on the flavor. The decor of the San Gabriel location looks dated. I know it's intentional but they could've made it look chicer. We ordered three boxes of donuts and the only girl working there gave us two coffees for free. Also, we let a couple go ahead of us since they only ordered individual donuts. Worth checking out. Price is a bit steep. Update: After introducing the place to my parents, they went to Old Ferry Donut themselves two weeks later to get more donuts. They really liked it as well. They also got another box for my sister. They liked that there's so many flavors to choose from.

    Old Ferry is located in a small plaza with a designated parking lot. They have a large selection of donut flavors!! Of the donuts I ordered the stand outs for me were the Butter Pistachio and the Dubai Matcha Donut. The Butter Pistachio is a staple, offering a nutty exterior with a sweet creme filling inside. The donuts are light so you can eat a lot!! I also enjoyed the Dubai Matcha, it wasn't too sweet and had a subtle matcha flavor with a flakey interior to add to the texture. So yummy!!

    Cute box with ears

    I recently discovered this donut shop while looking for something beyond the usual traditional flavors and I'm glad I did. Everything I tried had just the right level of sweetness without being overpowering. I ordered: Butter Pistachio donut Crème Brûlée donut Peanut Butter & Jelly donut Peanut Butter donut Onion Sesame (2) All of the donuts were delicious, with unique flavors that really stand out. I haven't tried everything yet, but I'm definitely on a mission to come back and work my way through the menu. My all time favorite is the Onion Sesame flavor. But all in all they were all very good. Customer service was excellent, and the shop itself has a really trendy, welcoming vibe. Overall a great find!

    Wow, the donuts here are beautiful and the fact that they are stuffed takes it to another level. The space is also very retro. Great service. Nice merch selection. Please come and create your own adventure.

    I love this place! I had it when I was in Korea and was pleasantly surprised to see one in the SGV area. The store is decorated very cutely and I love their hamster mascot. There's limited seating and I feel like most people take it to-go or go in small groups. I tried the pistachio butter and the coffee cream one and both were really great but I loved the pistachio butter the most! It had a very light and nutty texture and was mildly sweet. These donuts are pretty big and I would say one is enough! Luckily I was able to share with a few friends. Great place to stop by if you're looking for a sweet treat!

    Cute boxes and delicious pastries at Old Ferry Donut

    Yum. My friend's daughter really wanted to try old ferry doughnut while we were in the LA area. I'm glad we did! We tried a variety of donuts and all were delicious. Surface was quick and friendly, and the location was clean and bright.

    On Yelp it says that closing time is at 9 but I showed up to the SG location right at 8 and they were closing up. Is the time on Yelp incorrect?

    Supposedly, they do close at 9pm, but that's if they don't sell out. The actual closing time is "til they are sold out or 9pm, whichever came first"

    Is it better to get there at a certain time (before they sell out)?

    i wouldn't say there is a set time each day but go early if you want the best selection

    Do they have the merch section like they do at the location in Buena Park!?

    Yes they do!

Interior: Factory tea bar remodel quite a bit so it is a lot more modern and well light. Great studying spot. Wait Time: None as I ordered online. Drinks were ready when I got there.

Egg foam was a solid addition but the egg flavor gets lost when mixed so could use more. 7.5/10 Matcha Einspanner $8 - sweetness was about 50% so could use more. the matcha itself was average, foam was solid and creamy. 8/10 Viet Coffee Einspanner $7.5 - solid viet coffee overall but the foam doesn't do much in my opinion 8/10 Nutty Spice Viet Coffee $7.5 - the pistachio milk added a different taste profile to the coffee which was a nice switch up. Pistachio flavor is definitely strong so get it only if that's what youre looking for.

Right next door, find Uncle Fung Coffee Stall, his daughter's tribute to her Indonesian roots. Here, relax in the retro-modern space and enjoy coffee and tea with an Indonesian flair. The vibe feels timeless. The paint-speckled brick walls and polished tiled floors starkly contrast the heirloom porcelain and framed Indonesian memorabilia. Small square tables and metal chairs are crammed into the narrow space. Close to opening, seats are plentiful, and serene pop blends with the espresso machine; later in the morning, the air is filled with chatter, and the queue stretches to the door. Of the drinks, our go-to has been The Putu, a pandan-forward latte that isn't too sweet. But don't sleep on the Indonesian pastries. I particularly enjoyed the Dadar Gulung, a vibrant green pandan crepe filled with sweet coconut. The scarlet, tortoise-shaped Angku Kueh is stuffed with an addictive mung bean filling. The Talan Ubi sweet potato-and-coconut treats tasted like fall. The Kueh Lupis, a sticky rice triangle with a side of palm sugar syrup, sports a spot-on Q texture, but is one-dimensional in flavor. Service is friendly and efficient. Pastries cost about ~$3-5, while specialty beverages run in the $7-8 range. The location is stellar (just steps away from the Alhambra Farmers Market), and the coffeehouse fare is uniquely crave-worthy. In all, Uncle Fung is a key member of Alhambra's specialty coffee scene, and it cracks my regular rotation.

It was excellent! We also ordered Putu Ayu, Chiffon pandan and banana bread. The putu Ayu was outstanding. The chiffon pandan was very fluffy, fragrant and freshly baked.

Matcha flavor comes through, although there is more strawberry than matcha flavor. Still I enjoyed it. It was super creamy too, but I know some people may not like that. Matchas are made with Dona Matcha. MATCHA KINU This was similar to the Ichigo Matcha in texture. Heavy cold foam on top and lightly sweetened. Maybe because it was my second matcha cold foam drink, I was full and tired of drinking it. Matcha was good, but very creamy as expected. Matcha was quite mellow with very sweet matcha flavor, grassiness and very light bitterness. Still very mellow overall. Personally, I prefer the Ichigo Matcha over this one.

It is along the street, so you will need to turn into a parking garage or street park. The best parking spot I found was on First + Main. Right across Days Inn by Wyndham and The Chicken Koop. Free parking. There were EV charging stations too. There is parking right behind Three Fields, but it is so tiny, I wouldn't recommend parking there. Plus, it would be difficult to get in and get out. It was so crammed in there. CUSTOMER SERVICE It was friendly, but the barista seemed a bit impatient as I was deciding on what to get as he tapped his fingers on the table. Then he tells me, "No, take your time." Sure, man. Would I come back? Of course when I'm in the area and when I'm craving for the Ichigo Matcha. It was delish!
