    Cookies and Cream Mochi Donut
    MossBurger C.

    Tried this place for some mochi donuts. Located in some street storefront with other stores. only street parking. place is small. no seat. purely order to go. small simple menu with korean cheese corn dogs and mochi donuts. ordered what i came for. the donuts are all premade sitting in a rack so ordered thier cookies and cream. total damage $4. waited 1min and got the food. and the verdict. its ok. nothing special. same quality what you get at ralphs. just because it was made with mochi didnt make it any better. i rather eat kripsy kreme which is cheaper. speaking of price, the fact it was $4 for the quality and portion just doesnt make sense to buy again. not worth the price. oh well tried it once and now off to the next food adventure.

    Brown Sugar Boba

    I can only speak to the boba, but the rest of the menu looked amazing. Food seemed to be a priority, as the bubble tea was good be tough to compare to other places around LA. The brown sugar milk base was tasty, picturesque when initially poured. However, the boba balls themselves lacked flavor. Perfect consistency and amount in the drink, but the balls themselves could have been a touch sweeter. Otherwise, cute shop and very sweet gentleman behind the counter.

    A solid mochi donut place with kind service. They have free 10 minute parking right in front of their store, which is extremely appreciated given how busy this street is! Was able to snag a Too Good To Go bag from them--it was well worth it and pick up was smooth. Will definitely look for a chance to stop by again when I'm craving mochi donuts. Thank you!

    Came here on New Year's day to meet up friends for a snack and boba before dinner. There were plenty of street parking available given that it's a holiday. I'm also told there's some in the back of the building. We walked in and were quickly greeted. We tried the matcha and taro crunch mochinuts. The taro was delicious 5/5, and the matcha was 3.5/5. We also ordered the milk tea, ube milk tea, brown sugar milk tea, and coffee milk tea. I came in with low expectations on the boba but surprisingly I really enjoyed my ube. I also found the cups with the aluminum can lids to be very unique! The store has a few tables and counter for seating as well as an outdoor area. A very simple no frills design interior. I would recommend checking it out if you're in the Melrose Fairfax shopping area!

    The spot to get your mochi donuts for sure. These tasty treats are the best to bring for family parties. I love how you can break apart the pieces and share the flavors with other friends. Honesty this is by far the best thing to get everytime. I did try the Korean corn dogs and it was pretty good. Wouldn't say it was my favorite, but still good. I also loved the way the boba sugar pearl drink came to me. I've never seen it in a can type cup like that before. Loved that taste of it as well!

    Strictly rating the mochinut I would give that a 10/10! So soft and chewy and loved the flavor. I see myself making another trip very soon for this! We also got the korean potato dog and cheese dog they were good but nothing crazy. If I were near a mochinut I would get one but I wouldn't go out of my way to go get one Also tried their milk teas. I had the matcha one and my friend got the brown sugar. Not recommended on either. They both tasted like straight milk and the tiny Matcha flavor I was able to taste didn't taste like a good quality matcha.

    I'm not a huge fan of mochinut but I know everyone else is, so I stopped by to get a box and some hot dogs. The service for the hot dogs is really slow so don't get them if you're in a rush. I've been waiting for a good 10 mins as I'm patiently waiting and writing this review and they're still not ready. Had I known it took this long, I would've only gotten the donuts. The hot dogs are also pretty pricey. $6 for the specialty half and half.... I got 4 hot dogs and a dozen donuts and spent $60. I wouldn't personally buy them for myself. Parking is also very difficult.

    Ube & Taro
    Huyen C.

    We stayed near melrose for our trip to Cali & walked down melrose. We stopped by Mochinut because I love a good Mochi donut. We got the taro & ube donuts and damn, so good. Our favorite was the ube one. There menu is a little deceiving because it says for oat/almond milk it's an extra dollar. We wanted the coffee boba with oat milk, but the drinks are essentially pre made so you can't substitute for the milk teas. I'm sure you can for the other coffee/drink options. We tried the crispy ramen mozzarella corn dog and it was so good! Comes out hot & was definitely worth trying! Would come back.

    We stopped in one morning while bumbling around Hollywood haven't the slightest idea what or where we were going like the awful tourists we were - but it led us to this place and I was so thankful and impressed! We got there right as they opened and ordered a bubble tea and few flavored mochinuts- which we've never had before and just basically had a chewier texture - but we ate them in seconds! The staff was so helpful and friendly too. Amazing little find!

    Melt in your mouth Mochi. Melrose Location *Make sure to check their Instagram for the flavors that day I was very surprised when I heard that a few coworkers have never had Mochinut before, so I decided to order two dozen. It was beyond easy to order online, and you can set it for that day or a few days in advanced. They do have promotions all the time so the one that I received was buy 12 get 2 free. We tried quite a few different flavors and they were all delicious. My personal favorite was the chocolate churro. I also love the mozzarella corndogs with sugar. It may seem like a strange combination, but it works and is absolutely amazing. There is plenty of parking on the street and in the neighbor close by. They do have a few tables for outdoor seating outside as well. If you have never tried Mochinut THIS IS YOUR SIGN. I promise it is worth it! Truthfully, I like it more than regular donuts. I plan on coming back and will probably turn Mochinut into my potluck go to. Overall Delicious 10/10!

    Finally got to try Mochinut after driving by their new Melrose location a few times. I popped in on a Saturday afternoon and parking took a few minutes to find, but not bad given the area. Their flavors of the day were: Chocolate, Churro, Tiramisu, Taro Pebble, Raspberry, Cookies & Cream and Original. I grabbed the Raspberry, Chocolate and Tiramisu for a friend and the Churro for myself after the kind woman working there recommended it to me. The Churro was amazing, the texture was bouncy and spongy and just awesome. Perfect amount of cinnamon and sugar. My friend really enjoyed the chocolate and raspberry. The donuts present really well and prices are fair. I will be back to try some more flavors!

    The flavors I tried this time around: Thai tea - I couldn't taste the Thai tea flavor. Pistachio - Definitely nutty flavor to it. I liked it. Raspberry - My favorite of the three. Most flavor. I absolutely love the consistency of the mochi doughnuts. The chewiness is a foodgasm. Staff as helpful and attentive to my questions. I also had iced brewed coffee which has the caffeine jolt if you need one.

    So glad this place has finally opened! I always drive by and see this little shop. Ordered one of each donut for the day! Original, coconut, strawberry, churro, black sea sesame, and biscoff mochi donuts! They all tasted delicious! I love how all the donuts have a nice bounce and chewy texture. It is my favorite kind of donut! I love how they have different kinds of flavors all the time! I really want to try the blueberry someday! Service was great! Seems like this place just opened & they deserve all the business during covid.

    Yummy

    Not Bad! If the flaming hot coating was crispy on the outsides of the corn dog /cheese sticks that would really kick it up a notch!

    Cafe Dulce is in the Japanese Village Plaza in Little Tokyo. They have a pretty wide range of…read morethings on their menu, including baked goods, coffee drinks, matcha drinks and food. I'm from the Bay Area but I've been to Cafe Dulce several times. My wife and I really like their Hong Kong Tea Latte and their Matcha drink, as well as their various donuts and baked goods. In the morning rush they can be a little busy but the staff work hard. On a recent visit I saw people eating their steak breakfast burritos, so I ordered one for myself and a coworker. The burritos were reasonable size, the steak was seasoned well, and the breakfast burrito had potatoes in it (I only like breakfast burritos that have potatoes/hash browns/tots in it). Keep supporting the classics, not just because they've been around for a while, but because they have strong products and service.

    I've passed by this place so many times but haven't tried it out until recently! I really do like…read morethe pastries. So much variety here so there's definitely something for everyone. Mochi Twist ($5)-- Nice and dense mochi texture? I guess it's hard to describe but it's not hollow and airy like a typical donut. There's some chew to it. And it's not too sweet! Blueberry Roti ($4)-- Flaky crumble on top and blueberry jam?? YES YESSSS. I liked this so much I'd definitely go back for it. Blueberry jam is so underrated and it's rare to find it in a pastry! Makes for a good sweet lil treat. Hot latte ($5)-- Perfect!! No complaints. Not too milky, not too light. Good ratio. I was actually kind of worried ordering a latte because not every place does it right but it's good here! Iced blueberry matcha ($6?)-- I see lots of good things about this drink on here but ooooooof... it missed the mark and by a LOOOT too. It was green sweet cereal milk. Where's the matcha? Where's the blueberry? It was so confusing because I see the green and I know I ordered matcha... but it's just sweet milk! And it's not even blueberry flavored milk. Did they forget the blueberry jam? Syrup? Whatever they use? Because it just tastes like the milk after a bowl of Frosted Flakes or something like that. Very sad, very disappointing. Ended up tossing after a couple sips. ANDDD for those matcha purists this is NOOOT the place for you! They have it pre mixed in a milk gallon. So we just saw green milk coming out of a gallon into this cup like yeppppp ok expectations immediately lowered. Anyways, hot latte is good and the 2 pastries I got were good! Steer clear of the matcha!!!

It's light and fresh, not like the fake, overly sweet crap you get at most bakeries here in the US. I think I've ordered from them 6 times in the last two weeks, which probably says it all.

Flour Fresh Creme Donut has been around for three years now, so that says a lot about how much people like what they have to offer. I naively went in looking for a traditional ring donut. You won't find anything like that here. They primarily have the Korean-style fresh cream donuts. Again, I was looking for a traditional donut, and the closest thing I saw was the flour twist donut. It was nothing like a glazed twist donut; the only similarity was that it was twisted. It seemed to be baked, not fried. It was very good quality, but I really messed up by not getting a creme-filled donut instead. My friend had a pecan roll and loved it. The quality of the product here is top tier for sure. The prices are premium, but the quality matches the price. They also sell sandwiches as well as coffee and tea drinks. I will certainly go back and try one of the many creme-filled donuts.
