I drive from San José to get donuts here, I don't mind the drive knowing I get a sweet pillowy fresh donut after, hands down one of the best donuts shops in Northern California ?

The atmosphere was your typical donut shop. The lady behind the counter was awesome and she gets along with the customer

I came in last minute for some Sufganiyot for Hanukkah, and Mike (owner) saved the day and helped put together some jelly doughnuts for us. Truly a lifesaver and extremely friendly. We got another chocolate doughnut while there, absolutely delicious. Fresh and reasonably priced. We will be coming back again for all of our doughnut needs. I'm excited to try the sandwiches too!

Cute place; however, we have not had great experience with their donuts. I went there at 6:40 today but the donuts somehow did not taste fresh. They are not bad but you just expect better.

It’s an okay donut. Raised was good. Apple fritter and old fashions were dry. The service was really great and the seating was very cute.

Well this was an unexpected, wonderful surprise!! We stopped in for a quick lunch before a boat tour, had limited time and low expectations. We just needed food to cram down our gullets in a hurry. Instead what I got was one of the very best turkey sandwiches I've ever had. The bun was amazing, the turkey and cranberries were fantastic, but what made the sandwich were the shredded carrots. Absolutely amazing. Thanks, Ferrell's!!

Coffee was old (and staffer knew it but she still sold it/ hadn't made new). No washrooms to use. Donuts overated, had a weird taste IMO.

Value, the donuts are good and with how much they cost they are definitely worth it! This location has plenty of seating and the staff great. The customer in front of us asked if they had a chocolate glaze which they didn't. They then offered to and did make them for him without him even asking!Parking: Parking is one way entrance behind the building with about 10-15 spots.

My favorite donut shop since I was a child. Still the same 30 years later.

The original Ferrell’s donuts on 17th Ave. I’ve actually never been to this donut shop after living in Santa Cruz my whole life. It’s a small donut shop I’ve driven by tons of times, and today I stopped to grab a chocolate old fashioned donut - and it was perfect!They have a turkey sundae that I’ve heard people rave about before, and other breakfast-type foods besides donuts. They have coffee and drinks. I grabbed a milk and it was perfect with my donut.They have a small dining area inside if you want to sit and enjoy there, or you can grab something to take home.The guy working was really nice. Cute little spot for when your donut cravings kick in!
