The Original Ferrell's Donuts - Aptos

Best Donuts In Town!
A Santa Cruz Tradition For Over Three Decades
Family owned and operated by Michael Morse since 1976, Original Ferrell’s Santa Cruz is the destination of choice for both locals and visitors alike seeking fresh, quality donuts and more: such as great bagel sandwiches and made-to-order big and delicious sandwiches.

When most Santa Cruz locals think donuts, they think Original Ferrell’s, which is located at 17th Ave. and Capitola Road. Generations have come to enjoy the family tradition of bringing in the kids for sweet treats, juices, and their kid-pleasing hot chocolate. And with their newly expanded menu, there are many more reasons to enjoy Original Ferrell’s. You bet-cha!

With these early-bird opening hours, Original Ferrell’s stores are a must-stop destination for a good first cup-o’-Joe and a good bite to eat. The Santa Cruz Live Oak store is not exactly a tourist-oriented location. However, visitors from San Jose and San Francisco to Salinas to Carmel to Santa Barbara, some how find their way to the best-dern donut shop in town.
