    If you are in search of a cafe with a diverse display of donuts & boba that will make you emerge out of your comfort zone and spark that youthful curiosity--this is the place to go. Mochinut has it all, from the most fascinating, diverse options. The area is so contemporary, and I love how it feels like visiting a donut place in the city. If that is your vibe, definitely consider it. I heard from my uncle that they often change the donuts. That was why we couldn't see if they have our favorite ube donuts last visit. I tried many different donuts from the place, many from my last visit. I liked the ube donut, churro, and the cheesecake. I also tried the lemon one which wasn't as appealing to me. There was one of them with the biscoff and caramel, couldn't recall the name--but that one was also not as appealing as I thought it would be. I feel as though, it may be due to my preferences. Otherwise, I loved the bakery and the ambiance. Had no complaints with the service, food came in sooner than expected. Definitely worth trying out another time! Thank you Mochinut Palos Verdes for the experience! Hoping that in my next visit, we can get a lot of the ube donuts.

    What it's supposed to look like!

    The donuts are okay. Drinks are good. But service is terrible. I went on a Monday morning and this lady was on the phone and didn't pay any attention to me and what I was ordering. Was standing there for a little while, while she was on the phone. She walks away from her phone takes my order. Before I even finish she goes back to her phone for another 2 minutes. Then comes back to me and I tell her I wanted to add boba to the matcha drink. She thought I wanted a third drink. I had to re- explain at least 5 times that I wanted just two drinks. And one with boba. And she kept thinking I wanted a third drink. And then of course she goes back to her phone. Still insisting that I wanted a third drink. I was very close to walking out but I just wanted a drink. She finally hangs up. Hen I had to explain for the 5/6th time that I wanted to drinks. And to add boba to ONE. I was literally the only customer t She gave me the boba for free and said that it's a dollar extra for every drink and I'm like again I just wanted it on one drink. If you wanted the extra dollar so badly then I'll pay it. Just at least pay attention to your customers instead of your phone call. The whole transaction probably took close to 10 minutes because her phone call was so important to her. And of course. The drink was made wrong. Doesn't look anything like the picture. In the picture it's a matcha with ube foam and it's like she layered ube foam with matcha then matcha foam. Tastes like I'm drinking pure foam.

    This bobarista. I think his name was phillip? He was very friendly and quick to make my drinks. I ordered a peach acai it came out faster and better then starbucks! Kudos to phillip!

    Made it just in time! Service was amazing even when they where about to close so friendly and nice. My husband and I where craving something sweet decided on a boba. He also got a Hot Cheeto Mozzarella stick but didnt let me take a picture lol. Over the drinks where both really good not too sweet and delicious. The service again was amazing, we will definitely be back.

    Was in the mood for something sweet after having sushi so we drove all the way to Palos Verdes for some Mochinut's! This location was actually hard to find once we parked but after walking the strip we spotted it. It's really humongous inside! They have some really cool flavors that I wanted to try out. I was really excited to try the Red Velvet flavor, we also got one, cookies n cream, matcha, fruity pebbles, ube, and churro. The best out of all six flavors here was the ube, next had to be the churro, then cookies n cream. I was a little disappointed in the red velvet flavor as it taste nothing like red velvet at all.

    Super soft and fresh mochi donuts. My favorite was the Biscoff one, so bomb and almost had a coffee-like flavor. They have a wide variety, so there's plenty to choose from depending on your taste. The inside of the shop could use a little maintenance but the owner is super nice, which made the experience better. Also tried the Thai tea with boba. Loved the cute container, but the drink itself was a bit too sweet for me. Not my favorite, but not bad. Good spot overall with great deals for what you get. I'd come back for the donuts alone.

    Debra S.

    Still great! Surprisingly delicious fried hotdogs and the donuts are always fresh, no matter the time of day. Easy going vibe to hang out

    Beautiful ambiance, very charismatic and hard working workers. 10/10 would recommend. Not to mention the delicious donuts and yummy drinks.

    Mochi donuts are my favorite kind of donuts. They are light, flavorful, chewy, and addicting. However, there are flavors that I like better than others. it's a personal preference. I'm not a fan of any of the chocolate flavors. And the funnel cake and fruity pebbles were just okay My favorites are red velvet, ube, strawberry, honey glazed, and nutella. The mango seemed artificial. Matcha had a slight bitterness to it, which i liked. They also have premade Boba drinks in a can. The Boba quality isn't what you expect from fresh Boba, but it is pretty decent if you go in with that expectation. Definitely coming back.

    The man taking our order was so sweet and patient. He had so much respect and was incredibly polite and helpful. The food came out at a reasonable time and was so fresh and hot. The hot cheetos full mozzarella dog was our favorite even though it was really soft, but we took a while to eat it so it probably just softened in that time. The flavor, however, was definitely there. Although I like the crunch of the crispy ramen one, the taste lacked. I would get the potato one again though! Next time, I'd pass on the ube milk tea as I'm becoming more sensitive to artificial drinks. The taste isn't bad, but isn't one I love.

    Place was a walking distance from the PV library. Morden cafe setting inside instead of a mochi donut bakery style, which was cool with me. Tried their cold caramel macchiato. Too sweet without the coffee root. Love the idea of seal the drink into the plastic can. The donuts were sold by 3. They were chewy as the regular mochi donut but on the sweet side. I was expecting the black sesame coating tasted more toward the black sesame. So was with the ube flavor one. The colors were appetizing though. And the staff was nice and friendly.

    love the flavors the staff are all very kind and the store is very spacious with lots of seating. the thai tea was too sweet for me but the container is cute!

Things started off promising with our server, Destiny. She loved our dog and we appreciated that she set an outdoor table for us. But when service actually started, it all slowly went downhill. A canned drink we ordered had dirt on the lid. No big deal we thought and just requested another one. Destiny for some reason took this personally and the attitude started popping off from there. It's not like we said it was covered in rat droppings or something! She took our orders by memory and of course, an item came out wrong. Instead of apologizing, she again made it seem like it was somehow our fault. We were so put off by her attitude, we didn't even complain when the burger came out RAW. Just look at this picture. Yuck. By the time this happened, the service was so awful we just wanted to get out of here. While waiting for our check (which never came, we had to ask for it ourselves), I went on Yelp and noticed that Destiny had other terrible reviews about her! Why is she still employed here? Maybe she's the owner's daughter, which might explain why she took mistakes so personally. In any case, we were lucky enough to dissuade another party from having lunch -- they were viewing the menu, asked us how our experience was, and we were glad they were spared. Hopefully this review will stop others from the same awful experience. But there's a reason this place is empty on a Sunday when the PV Fair is going on. Just go to Good Stuff next door!

I tried their special Strawberry Mocha Latte which was really good, however, it was very small and very pricey. The service was great. The girl that helped me was super nice and very accommodating. After getting some bake goods for our dentist, I quickly had to eat the steamed pork buns while it was hot. The pork filling was like a pork siomai inside a fluffy soft dough. That was very good and worth the price. As for the sweet baked goods, I immediately tried them as soon as we got home. The cream puff was delicious and not too sweet, however for the size of it, I don't think it is worth the $4.00 price tag. The strawberry croissant on the other hand was cheaper and also very tasty and I would say it's worth the price tag.

The ice cream was good and the Asian-inspired flavors were definitely different from the usual. It didn't completely blow my socks off, but it was a solid treat. I kept thinking a little syrup or extra topping would've taken it up another level. Overall, glad I tried it. Half the fun of these food events is randomly discovering stuff you normally wouldn't eat anyway. I'd probably check out their Torrance brick-and-mortar location sometime and give them another shot.

It tasted so burnt. Like the most burnt coffee bean taste ever. I do not know what happened there, but it was a very big disappointment. Ordered 2 churros, they were good. Nothing crazy, just something that helped curve the horrible taste from the burnt coffee. You don't interact with the workers, so service I can not comment on. They have a restroom. Parking is in the plaza in front, which is shared with a few other businesses, the major one being Ralph's. You can order on a large screen and tap to pay on it as well. Sad to say, but I really do not see myself coming back as Torrance has plenty of other coffee shops to go to instead.
