The Most Famous Donuts in Seoul | Old Ferry Donut 올드페리도넛 Hannam

vibes

 The cafe is on the second floor a very new and modern concrete officetel. Outside, you can see the very adorable Old Ferry Donut logo on this textured concrete wall. The interior is very minimalistic, with barely anything besides geometric wooden coffee tables and chairs. The walls are decorated with traditional Korean paintings remixed with donut-related details. They’re actually quite comical and adorable.

 

foods

The donuts were deelightful. The raspberry donut was the most amazing combo of perfect yeast-risen dough, sweet raspberry icing, and tart raspberry jam filling. The dough is hydrated with the filling inside, making it the perfect texture. I usually don’t enjoy filled donuts, but the tart taste combats sweetness, which made it taste much more balanced than other filled donuts.

The Matcha was fllled with a matcha custard. It was a little too rich for my taste, but my cousin actually preferred it over the raspberry.

The Tube Latte would be great on its own, but it was too sweet as an accompaniment to the donuts. Unless you desperately need the aesthetic value of the adorable af mini donut, I'd suggest a coffee drink with no added sugar, like the americano.

final thoughts

If you're a fan of donuts I definitely recommend this place. Donuts are such an aesthetic food and Old Ferry definitely harnesses that potential in a simplistic way. As a bonus, they taste fantastic. While you check out this location, I suggest you walk around the area. Hannam-dong is uniquely modern and beautiful (including the people) and must be checked out.

pros: new location, amazing donuts, outlets
