Ferrell's Donuts

Donut shop · West King Street

"NorCal is no stranger to exquisite doughnuts, but Santa Cruz has known what’s good since Ernest Ferrell opened the first Ferrell’s in 1949. This shop on Mission Street, not the first of the local outposts bearing the same name, is open 24 hours a day, meaning locals have gone to nab one of the 41 varieties before hitting the surf or the mountains for decades. Plus, a bear claw is only $3.50 — outrageous." - Dianne de Guzman, Paolo Bicchieri, Garrick Ramirez
