The Original Ferrell’s Donuts

When the locals make a recommendation, we listen.

One tip led us to The Original Ferrell’s Donuts, a Santa Cruz staple. We swung by on our way out of town to grab a box of treats for the road – the perfect send-off.

We picked out a mix: original glazed, custard-filled, chocolate cake, maple, bear claw – they all hit the spot. Fresh, classic, and delicious. Plus, the kind employee tossed in a few donut holes, which we definitely appreciated.

While donuts are the main draw here, they also offer sandwiches for breakfast and lunch if you’re craving something savory.
