My food buddy and I had just finished a delectable dinner in K-Town and were looking for a sweet treat to end the night. We'd passed Old Ferry on the way to another dessert spot, but when that dessert spot didn't turn out to be what we wanted, we figured we'd give Old Ferry a try--and I'm so glad we did!
LA is known for its wonderful Cambodian-owned donut shops, but a Korean donut shop was something new to me. Given how late in the day we came (after 7 pm), several of their donut flavors were understandably sold out, but they still had tiramisu and coconut, among others. I love tiramisu in general, so I figured there was a good chance I would like their tiramisu donut. I was wrong. I LOVED their tiramisu donut, which was moist and delicious and completely surprised me with the creamy filling (apparently something they're known for, but I did not know that at the time). My buddy likewise very much enjoyed his coconut donut.
Staff was very friendly, and the shop is adorable. These are not cheap donuts, but they're in line with other "premium" donuts you'd find elsewhere in the city, and for the quality, I found it fair. My only minor quibble, which I think has been noted by a few others: If you're eating in, it seems like overkill to put the donut in a box. Maybe a little biodegradable plate? That would use less material.
But all in all, this place was a fabulous surprise, and I look forward to trying some of their other flavors (creme brulee, I'm looking at you!).
