Lots of classic options-french, bear claw, fritter, glazed-all were warm and wonderful. Cash only. Easy off-street parking. Prices fair. Minus one star for weak coffee. Otherwise in the upper echelon in town. Will be back.

It's a Bay Area donut house. Probably a little higher quality than some. But nothing surprising.

Expensive and lousy donuts. They're really very cheap donuts at the price of expensive donuts. I got a small donuts size cinnamon swirl. I don't think a blind person going to taste of the cinnamon in it. Then I got a bear claw at the same time. It looked really nice, there was barely any filling at all, pun intended, it was just the appearance of a bear claw. And for the coup de grog, the guy that worked there didn't know anything about donuts, made it clean that she didn't like donuts at all, and it was pretty obvious that she hated donuts. Inexplicably. I would not recommend this place

This place was next to the gas station we were filling up at so I ran in to pick up some breakfast . It was a pleasant surprise of good tasting pastries and nice and welcoming service . We ordered a ham and cheese pastry which was supposed to have jalapeños but I didn't want those so he went to the back to get me one without . I was warm and fresh and delicious . We also ordered some donuts and they were also very fresh , melt in your mouth ! I would highly recommend this place

Great place and good donuts. One of the few places in the bay that sell a cream filled donut even though they cut it in half.They're a bit pricey as I paid over $6 for just 3 donuts, however that seems to be all donut shops these days.The staff were friendly and fast!

My visit to Ferrell's Donut House was a delightful journey into the realm of exceptional donuts and warm hospitality. From the moment I stepped in, the inviting aroma of freshly baked pastries set the stage for a sweet adventure. The display case at Ferrell's is a feast for the eyes, showcasing an impressive array of donuts in various flavors and sizes. The selection caters to diverse tastes, ranging from classic glazed to innovative creations. I decided to try a mix of their bestsellers and was not disappointed. The first bite into their signature glazed donut was a revelation - soft, pillowy, and perfectly glazed. The balance of sweetness was impeccable, making it an instant favorite. The variety of filled donuts, each oozing with flavorful fillings, added an exciting twist to the experience. Whether it was the rich chocolate custard or the tangy fruit fillings, each one was a delicious surprise. What truly stood out at Ferrell's was the freshness of their donuts. It was evident that each pastry was crafted with care and precision. The texture was consistently delightful, and the flavors were robust without being overwhelming. The atmosphere inside Ferrell's was warm and inviting, with a cozy seating area that encouraged patrons to linger and savor their treats. The staff, friendly and attentive, added to the overall positive experience. They were not only knowledgeable about the donuts but also eager to share recommendations. Ferrell's Donut House is more than just a donut shop; it's a haven for those seeking a memorable and indulgent treat. Whether you're a donut connoisseur or just looking for a delightful experience, Ferrell's is a must-visit. The combination of superbly crafted pastries, a welcoming ambiance, and friendly service make it a standout in the world of donut delights. And THANK YOU to the owner who made a specialty donut for me when they ran out!!!

Omg...they stay open late...and their donuts are addictive!

I highly recommend the " croughnuts " (*crow- nuts*) ... It's a hybrid pastry combining both doughnuts and croissants.... Ask for it slightly warmed up for a life changing taste experience!

No longer the stoner donuts they once were. Not open 24/7 and prices have gotten out of control. Shame to see this happen.
