    Fluffy, sugary, delightful donuts! Came here on a Sunday morning around 10am and was pleasantly surprised at both the stock of selections as well as the price. But the real clincher was the taste once I got home. These donuts weren't any day old leftovers you'd get at most shops, these were melting in your mouth, fluffy, sugary, dreamy donuts. 10/10 what a gem.

    Delicious, soft, fresh donuts, even in the afternoon! A clean, comfortable atmosphere. Friendly, generous service. I can't wait to try the muffins. Definitely coming back!

    Oh my goodness...I've been craving a delicious Donut...My God doesn't disappointment me...So as I…read morewas driving down Hazel Avenue heading North, I spotted a shop simply named Donuts, well that's what my eye saw. My God wants me to be a little sweeter...so I had to try out the Donut Shop!!! I'm telling you my taste buds and my tummy were singing. These donuts are the freshest most delicious donuts I have encountered in a long time. I was in Heaven biting into the most crunchiest on the outside and so fluffy/moist on the inside Apple Fritter!!!! This sweet little lady really knows how to make a delicious Apple Fritter. I also tried a cake donut with chocolate frosting...also so fresh and moist...I really enjoyed both of my donuts!!! The cup of coffee with half and half I bought to chase my donuts was very fresh and yummy also. Was the best thing I could have chased my donuts with!!! The little lady behind the count was so warm and welcoming. She even laughed at my sense of humor with me as I paid for my delicious donuts. If you're like me and craving a donut and you're in the area...this is the place for you. Well I'd say it's worth the drive to go out your way for this donut spot!!! I'm so grateful My God made me look to the left as I was cruising down Hazel Avenue. Head on over and give them a try. Let me know how much you enjoyed these delicious donuts!!! Maybe I'll see you there, cause I know I will be returning!!!! Sorry no photos I had to walk back to my bus and as I walked I had to bite into my donuts. They were gone before I knew it.

    We made a spontaneous stop here on a Sunday around 10:30a while on an outing. The inventory was…read morequite depleted. The kind & sweet lady working there was apologetic. Apparently, a big local event was happening that day & a lot of people had come in earlier. The shop was clean. The floor to ceiling windows made it bright with natural light . There were a few tables for 2-4 people to sit & enjoy treats there. We picked a buttermilk bar with chocolate glaze & a chocolate cake donut with chocolate glaze & coconut. She generously threw in a raised glaze! We also got a mocha. The mocha was just basic. The buttermilk bar had a nice outer crust, a tender inside, & the chocolate wasn't too sweet. Just my kind of donut! Little one said her cake donut was delicious & enjoyed it with enthusiasm. The raised was yeasty & not overly sweet. Overall, tasty traditional donuts & nice service.

    I've been coming to this Mochinut location for at least three years now, and they've never…read moredisappointed me. The mochi donuts are definitely on the pricier side, but the taste and quality absolutely justify it. These aren't something I could ever recreate at home, so I don't mind treating myself here when I can. Sometimes regular donuts just can't compare. I do wish they were a bit cheaper -- but I understand why they're priced the way they are. One thing I really like is that they rotate flavors regularly. You might not see the same selection every visit, but there's always enough variety that you're bound to find something you'll enjoy. They also occasionally offer discounts and have a rewards program you can sign up for, which helps bring the price down after you build up points -- definitely worth it if you're a repeat customer. Beyond the donuts, they also serve Korean corn dogs and a fun drink selection. My husband is a big fan of their Baja Blast lemonade because it's perfectly sour, and I've tried several of their other drinks that were also really good, including their milk tea and spring drinks. For the corn dogs, there are lots of topping options, but the Hot Cheeto one is my personal favorite. The shop itself is small and quaint, so there isn't much seating -- just a few spots by the windowpane -- so I usually grab my donuts to go. It works perfectly as a quick treat stop rather than a dine-in place. Customer service here has always been friendly and consistent. The staff is patient, accurate with orders, and helpful when you have questions. I never feel rushed or pressured while ordering. Parking is also easy since it's in the same lot as KP Market, with plenty of spaces -- so again, it's a perfect dessert stop, especially after grocery shopping. 85°C Bakery is also right next door but they tend to be busy which deters me from visiting -- it's more peaceful for me to stop by Mochinut where customers just stop by, pick up their donuts and go instead of mingling around. Honestly, I can't really complain about this place at all -- other than wishing prices were lower -- and it's been a reliable treat spot for years.

    i was in the area running errands and had a random matcha craving, so i decided to stop by…read more it's located in a shopping center, so parking was easy, and it wasn't too busy when i went on an early sunday afternoon. the place itself is decorated cute, there's a flower wall that's a good photo op. there's also crane machines to kill some time. ordering was through a self-service kiosk, and our drinks and food came out pretty quickly, about 10 to 15 minutes. they also added my special request, which was very nice of them to accommodate. they offer milk teas, coffees, matcha drinks, smoothies, plus snacks like korean corndogs and mochi donuts. we got the strawberry foam matcha, a hot cheeto korean corndog with hot dog inside, and a dubai chocolate mochi donut. strawberry foam matcha: 7/10 the strawberry cold foam was sweet and flavorful, which i liked. the matcha itself was on the lighter side, not super strong, but still enjoyable if you prefer something more mellow. hot cheeto korean corndog: 4/10 this one was a bit disappointing. i was expecting more of that tangy hot cheeto flavor, but it didn't really come through, and felt a little stale. dubai chocolate mochi donut: 8.5/10 this was actually really good! soft, chewy texture and they did a great job capturing that rich dubai chocolate flavor. overall, a solid spot if you're looking for boba and snacks in the area. i'd come back for the drinks and mochi donuts, but will probably have to try the corndog with mozzarella next time.
