Small Korean donut shop located at The Source OC. Loss of different flavors, some of which I’ve never heard of before. I tried the Earl Grey donut. It’s a cake donut, not too sweet and the earl grey flavor was very very subtle. It’s more of an aftertaste. Great service. Tiny shop so if there’s more than 3-4 people inside, it’s crowded.

Excellent donuts here, I'm extremely particular about donuts as well. Love the creamy fluffy texture of the donut, is much on the sweeter side so definitely has lots of sugar but otherwise very enjoyable.

Angie was an amazing cashier and was incredibly helpful and nice. Customer service was awesome. Will definitely come again. The donuts weren't overly sweet and tasted amazing.
Korean donut shop with delicious donuts that is able to balance sweetness with perfection. Lots of Asian donut flavor choices, however popular ones run out early during the day.

3.5 STARS I came in with high hopes given all the rave reviews of Old Ferry Donut on Yelp, and maybe I didn't order the right donuts, but I was really underwhelmed with the donuts. We came on a Sunday afternoon and there were a couple people ahead of us in line. I decided to try their "Choco Crunch Cake" ($3.75) and their "Creme Brulee" ($4.75). The donuts were not only pricier than most traditional donuts, but they were also on the smaller side compared to your typical donut. I don't mind a higher price point for quality food, but both these donuts were just okay. I did enjoy the Creme Brulee much more than the Choco Crunch Cake however. The donuts are slightly less sweet than your standard donut as well a bit lighter in texture but nothing that blew me away. For speciality donuts, I personally prefer Blue Star or Sidecar. Service was also just okay. The cashier who took my order was neither friendly nor rude so it definitely didn't leave any impression on me. I really wanted to love Old Ferry Donut, but I'm not sure I'll be back anytime so

The donuts here are a bit sweet for my taste but I think the service and overall vibe make it worth it. Everything is adorable and so perfectly presented. My favorite is the boston cream

Please beware of this place. They will cheat or should I say "scam" their customers by replacing their original orders. Please check your orders, open the box before you leave the store and make sure to double check the donuts. They will try to replace your donuts with their cheaper donuts that evidently will not go to sale. In addition, please be careful in buying their packed milk. The last time I ordered the banana milk, my son said "yuck" and because it was a rotten milk. I always tried to support this store despite of their donuts being on a pricey side but not anymore. Their manager does not know how to value their loyal customer and they will simply dismiss your concerns and blame their mistakes to their customer.
If I could give this place a zero star, I would definitely do so however there's no option here. First, I support this business and would always place big orders whenever I visit The Source. However, today I had a very unpleasant experience. I ordered a dozen of choco fudge but received 9 incorrect order. I believed this was done intentionally, as I have reviewed some complaints here in yelp, this was an ongoing issue. My guess is that maybe they will try to replace your orders with the donuts that will not go to sale. Imagine the feeling of being cheated because when I tried to resolve this to their Manager, the blame was put on me! Shame on you all!!! You not just cheated me but worst is that you also cheated my son. Try to train your staff and not blame it to your valued customer. Your Manager should also be trained on how to address a minor issue. Spent $48 dollars for the donuts that my son will not eat, such a WASTE of money!

Tiramisu 4/5 - when we ate it right away it wasn't good and we were pretty disappointed with it. But we took half home and we microwaved it and it tasted so much better! Wish they served it hot Chocolate donut 4/5 - same with this, it tasted better heated up bc the chocolate is all melty. Very sweet thought so probably wouldn't get this flavor again. We came on a Saturday night and they were sold out of a lot of donuts. Will have to come in the daytime to try their other flavors.

Old Ferry Donut is a hidden gem! The donuts are always fresh, fluffy, and bursting with flavor. The friendly staff and cozy atmosphere make every visit a delight. I can't get enough of their classic glazed donuts - they're simply irresistible. If you're in the area, don't miss out on this delightful donut shop!

The store is nicely decorated - giving Seoul’s vibe. Donut is good but kinda sweet for me. They have many different flavors. I really like the Peanut Butter donut.

Nothing compares to the incredible donuts offered here. Using the word gourmet is barely sufficient. These are the best donuts in the world.
Best donuts EVER they actually close at 9pm on
