    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!

    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!

    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!

As I type this review, I'm already jittery from its sugar rush. (Important: Bring Cash. There's a 50 Cent additional fee for card.) I arrived at KC Donuts (San Gabriel) on a Monday (around 6:35AM). Parking is available in a cramped lot or the nearby neighborhood. I chose neighborhood parking since it's easy to find a spot. Staff is professional, friendly, and welcoming. Staff worked hard. And Staff promptly answered all my questions. On ambiance, KC Donuts (San Gabriel) is spacious for a donut spot. There's also plenty of tables, and there's a couple bottles of hand sanitizers for customers. It's also fairly clean. This popular location had a steady flow of morning customers. Overall, I had a very good experience at KC Donuts (San Gabriel). There is a tasty KICK to their goods, and I can easily see how someone who's craving sugar would immediately choose this location. 4.7 out of 5

So , today was my first rodeo here and I have to say : amazing. customer service is so nice and their sandwiches & juices ? AMAZING. The hype & rave my coworkers give this place lives up to it. I ordered 2 turkey sandwiches (about $10 each) 3 green juices ($6 each) (A3, the order number of the juice because they have more than 1 green juice) , 1 red juice ($6, this one has like carrot, beets, and some other veggies but I forgot) , and 1 box of a dozen donuts ($17) all for around $60ish. I love the bread that they use on the sandwiches, not sure if they make it in house but it is definitely not just store brought bread at a market. And everytime I drink their juice i definitely feel good internally, it's like my body likes it. You can see them press the juices in house! The place itself has limited parking space I would say and the interior is definitely mom & pop shop vibes but those are the best places ! I would definitely recommend as well as try their tuna sandwiches because I've heard they're delicious!

For almost $14, I was really hoping for more variety, especially because there are other local spots participating in Too Good To Go that offer a much bigger mix for half the price. The taste was just okay and honestly some of the donuts had a slightly soapy taste to me. The owner was nice, which I appreciated, but the inside is pretty dark and gloomy with only a couple of tables. This was actually my second time here. The first time I came for a regular order, I noticed a bug inside the donut display area, which definitely didn't leave the best impression. I think the biggest issue is that the Too Good To Go description should be more accurate about what you're actually getting. Unfortunately, I wouldn't come back based on my experiences here.

    tl;dr the unreal pies overshadow the otherwise fine Filipino-ish pastry lineup; they are worth the…read morepretty penny Baking with Ish is the Filipino micro-bakery from Chef Ishnoelle Chin Richardson. What began as a pandemic-time pop-up has since transitioned into a San Gabriel brick-and-mortar. Ish has garnered recognition from Vogue, the LA Times, and Thrillist, particularly for the one-of-a-kind, Filipino-ish pies and eye-catching purple pancakes; now, it's one of the trendiest bakeries in Greater Los Angeles. BWI has a stall in the Blossom Market Hall. Briefly, this premium San Gabriel food hall (opened in a former Masonic lodge) hosts two rooms of fast-casual food and beverages, broadly with a pan-Asian bent. The rainbow mosaic mural in the main room is almost pretty enough to make you forget the weak AC. Chatter from customers overwhelms the pop playlist. BWI just took over a larger stall in the main market space. The red-and-white logo and "menu board" offer a hint into the food lineup -- peek into the all-glass pastry case and pick what sounds good. Sometimes, the pies are in hiding, so don't be afraid to ask if any slices are available. The rotating pastry menu is a crapshoot. But if they're available, you must try one of the ube-infused pies. I loved the Ube Bananoffee Pie. This Filipino spin on bananoffee pie infused ube into its thick layer of dulce de leche, while otherwise executing the other components at a high level. The dynamic array of textures and flavors culminated in one of the region's best desserts, full stop. Meanwhile, the Blue Corn Mochi Pancakes were next level. The springy texture was addictive, and the sweet-and-salty combo of ube flan cream and flaky sea salt was a match made in heaven. Each enormous hotcake boasted the same diameter as one of Ish's full pies, so with two pancakes to an order, you could reasonably satisfy 4 hungry bellies. Other baked goods have been more hit-or-miss. For example, the Ube, Matcha, Black Sesame Bun (somewhere between a cinnamon roll and a sticky bun) paired airy, brioche-esque bread with a matcha-forward paste, but it otherwise felt like it was missing a syrupy sweetness. The service has always been efficient (don't be surprised if Ish himself gives you tips for how to best reheat a treat at home), and the baked goods range from $4 for cookies to $10 for pie slices to $17 for the pancake stack. While not every item has been a hit, the pies are reason alone to visit and pay a premium -- just make sure they're in stock!

    So happy to have randomly stumbled upon this shop! I tried the ube cookie, and it was tasty without…read morebeing overly sweet.

And my Alhambra neighborhood go-to is Mr Good's, a no-frills bakery off Valley that shares a strip mall with an aquarium store and a small-operation law office. The doors open at 5AM daily, as the brusquely efficient elderly owners load trays into the display case and grab your selections with a transactional lack of warmth or courtesy. In the early morning, the bright fluorescent lights feel particularly oppressive. Stainless steel chairs are pushed up against 2 wooden laminate tables, and the remaining counter space is littered with old appliances, pink takeout boxes, and other knick-knacks. The poorly lit donut display is filled only with the most traditional varieties -- the apple fritter and cinnamon roll are the edgiest options. Chinese pop music plays, interrupted intermittently by crackling feedback and newscasts from the tiny flatscreen television behind the counter. A consistent trickle of regulars arrive to dine in and take out during the weekday earlybird service. When I arrived about an hour into opening, I was surprised to find that not all donuts were yet available -- specifically, I was left without any maple or chocolate-frosted options. Instead, I settled on a plain glazed raised donut and an apple fritter. The still-warm ring was anything but "plain", and it sported a pleasantly even, melt-in-your-mouth glaze and an excellently light texture. In contrast, the warm fritter was bogged down by grease and butter; despite occasional apple chunks, the flavor was overwhelmingly cinnamon-y and one-dimensional. My two donuts ran me $3.60, cash only. While I might not get the fritter again, the fresh, plain glazed was an unequivocal winner. I see Mr Good's as an occasional on-the-go joint for those hoping to eschew bland chains, but without the bandwidth to trek out to LA's donut heavyweights.
