"so so so obsessed with the nacho Nacho Fries, the large is a good deal but only comes with one nacho cheese sauce so get an extra if you can. also, love that I can make Crunchy Tacos into a vegetarian meal by replacing the meat with beans"
"Food was still hot and absolutely delicious. Their new street chalupas are even better with cantina chicken. Their cheaper Cheesy Melt Grilled Steak Burrito is also a good size valhe. And you absolutely can never go wrong with a Cheesy Roll Up. Thank you Taco Bell"

"I love donuts. I'm also from the Bronx. Those two things may not mean much to anyone in the Santa Cruz area, but if it happens to help someone - dope. Ferrell's Donuts are BY FAR my favorite donuts in Santa Cruz County - period. And I just moved here and happen to live down the street! The GLAZED DONUT are LIFE!!! And if you like glazed filled donuts - their 1/2 Dozen Filled Holes are basically glazed filled donuts - they are HUGE. My favorite are the CUSTARD and RASBERRY. So that's your starting point. CUSTOMER SERVICE - every box, every time, they send a note to me - and maybe even an extra something dependingon the time of day ;) I won't share too much 'cuz that's my thing - thank you @Ferrell'sDonuts!!!!! You bring me joy! Let me go put my order in ;) Heart, Jess"
"Sausage, Egg, Cheese & Jalapeño Ham, Cheese & Jalapeño, the stuffed croissants left a little to be desired (don't get me wrong, the croissant part was buttery and delicious) the filling was just so-so. BUT all the donuts were perfect 😋 exactly what my family and I wanted! They even threw in a few donut holes (also delicious)!! Very prompt delivery and they even left a sweet note on the box! love love love Ferrell's 9/10 would recommend!! My daughter and I order at least once every time we come to Santa Cruz 🥰"

"The chicken tenders and fries were tasty and the order size was appropriate for the price, however, the double mocha was not as mesmerizing, I thought I would get a 20ounce mocha but received maybe a 10ounce. Not a good price for what I paid 8.00"
"Pretty sure they use AI images for their menu photos because the food looks nothing like this, not even the same ingredients. I got the Rockfish Burrito and it was huge (yay!) but it was almost entirely beans and rice. The fish was barely noticable, not big chunks like the photo but small flakey pieces and it was very dry and chewy. I ate about 1/4 of the burrito thinking they had sent me just a bean and cheese because I didn't taste any fish or pineapple. There was almost no flavor to the burrito at all and the tortilla fell apart. The Onion Rings were also huge in potion but it was all one giant greasy onion blob. Not really rings at all and a little burnt. Again, nothing like the photo, not even the same kind of batter. Really disappointing and expensive for the low quality food I received."

The hubs and teenage son ordered it on sourdough, which comes slightly grilled. Chocolate Croissant was delicious! Lots of chocolate, would definitely come back!"
"The latte was good but the avocado toast was super bland. The bread was soggy and tasted old, and there was an obscene amount of tomatoes added on top which I ordered this before and it has a couple of them not a whole ton like today. Also, there was a light smudge of avocado on one of the breads. It just wasn't consistent with previous orders, this one was not good."
