Because everytime I come to this shopping center they're closed already. It's an average sized donut shop. Lots of tables inside. Two big cases with donuts on display. I was there at around 10am, and already mostly soldout. But I got a glazed raised and chocolate raised donut. Very soft and fresh....and very tasty! Very friendly service. $2.00 for a regular cup of coffee. I'll be back if I have a craving for donuts! Free parking in lot.

Holidays they offered chocolate bombs Ordered from here twice, orders are always ready by your pickup time. It is hit or miss on flavors for me. I think most are overly sweet and I find myself trying to scrape off the extra sugar on the outside. Some previous star flavors: lemon curd, eggnog, halpia coconut. I love ordering these as gifts for ppl cuz i think most dont mind the sugar haha

Isabella, the owner offers 4 flavor option per week: Thursday - Sundays only with pickup starting at 10am right now...wonderful flavors like pumpkin, espresso, and guava...they also had ube which i know is all the rage but passed on that..not a fan and don't get it. Lol Filling were lightly sweet (which I prefer) and hints of each flavor...my fave was the espresso: custardy, creamy, coffee flavored with the next being the pumpkin. Guava has a very mild flavor and could've used a tad more flavor but it was good! All lightly dusted with granulated sugar *** 4 - 4.5 stars *** I would recommend picking up your order when they're ready as no fried item tastes as good as it sits and best when they're fresh...I picked up mine about 12:30 and 1/2 of the sugar was melted and exterior got a little greasy but still a yummy product! Unfortunately, you can not walk into Denica's expecting to get some malasadas...must go to Instagram and DM her your order which will set you back $12/3. Yeah, yeah will log in for food! Flavors change weekly! Enjoy!

Whenever my husband and I go to a donut shop, we always get the same two donuts to try, apple…read morefritter and blueberry cake donut. We were pleasantly surprised with the apple fritter and scarfed it down. The texture was perfect and had such great bite to it. The sweetness level was also perfect, which is why I could not put it down. Given how big these things are, we normally eat half and eat the rest later so that we don't hate ourselves from indulging but this fritter didn't feel overly unhealthy. We were joking saying how we should have bought two! The blueberry cake donut was not to our liking. Ironically, we like our "cake" donuts to not be too cakey or bready, but it was exactly that. We do prefer it to be a bit more deep fried haha. Would definitely go back for the apple fritter!

We haven't tried the others yet, but the Apple Fritter was terrific. Crispy on the outside, soft and moist on the inside with the flavor of apples and cinnamon. This had to have been one of the best Apple Fritters we've had in a long time. Sometimes, you don't get apple; sometimes the cake isn't cooked enough because it's too thick; other times, they're just sickly sweet. Not here. Their Apple Fritter was simply perfect!

Places in Chicago, L.A., and in the SF Bay Area and they ALL were hands very disappointing. Other Mochi Donut spots haven't figured out how to make the Mochi not too dense or not too dry. Also, the frosting is terrible at other knock-offs like "Mochinut" in San Leandro where I bought 2 for $7.98 and when I bit into their Churro mochi I thought I was bitting into an old fashion American donut doust in white granulated sugar (lacking cinnamon flavor) that masked the low quality mochi texture and taste, so I spit it out immediately. Why did you close? I hate that I can't find a Tea/Mochi Donut spot comparable to the consistent Mochi texture, flavor, quality you served the Castro Valley community for the last 3yrs. By the tea boba spot Goolutea-terrible they don't have alternative milk options and when I used their kiosk to place my order the Tea I was open to trying was sold-out. The location hasn't been opened that long and you ran out. I hope you reopen at a different location.

It was completely hassle free (I don't even know when she dropped it off on the hectic day), and exactly how we imagined it to be.

I was craving for some mochi donut and having seen this location being opened for some time I…read morewanted to come and check it out. When the opportunity presented itself, I came by today for the first time. The decor was mediocre but I was here for a take out order so my review will be strictly on the taste of the mochi donut itself. Mochi donut (Macha & Strawberry flavored) - 5 out of 5 They were fluffy and chewy in texture. Compared to your regular donut, it's just a different style of donut altogether. There is not actual mochi in the donut itself just a mental note. The sweetness wasn't overpowering which I liked and they're extremely fresh. Compared to the ones they offer in Osaka Marketplace, this one blows them out of the park. For any type of donuts, I general look for two things: 1. Are they fresh (if they aren't, you can generally tell from the dough being tougher if no other additives are placed in the dough) 2. The sugar toppings (If they place a heavier emphasis on sugar, I usually stay away since I'm more focused on the flavor instead) Service - 3 out of 5 The lady over the counter was a bit slow. She was on the phone when I came in and it took her about 10 minutes to finish her conversation before she was able to get to us. I think it was a phone order? It looked like she's the only person taking orders since the other workers saw us but kept on doing whatever they were doing. If you don't mind waiting a little like myself, it's a definite must try if you enjoy a chewier textured type of dough in your donuts or would just like to give a new type of donut a try. I don't usually judge too hard on the service staff in places like these since they're mostly mom and pop owned. Understand that when we come, they're just trying to do their best with what they've got is all we can ask for. Ultimately, the food takes home the win and Mochinut here did exactly that for me. They seemed to be Vietnamese owned since they sell other Vietnamese items here as well so keep that in mind. I'll definitely keep this place in mind when I'm feeling like a mochi donut again in the future!
