    I had Mochinut up north in New Jersey, it was a hit! So fresh and delicious. Literally the flavor would melt in your mouth. When I saw this place, I immediately had to try it thinking it would be the same. My first thought was the establishment was super cute when looking through the glass windows with all the lights and decorations on the wall. As we walked in we saw the donuts sitting there, did not look fresh, just sitting there. They have some food paper menus taped on the glass window which looks very tacky not to mention dirty. The establishment itself even though it has a lot of decor it's dirty, you can tell it's not being taken care of on daily basis. However what threw me off more was my mochidonut wasn't as great as I have had in the past it was simply ok, especially for $3 a donut. I tried the macha, not very moist, but I suppose could've been worse. Perhaps if we tried it when they first open and batches are freshly just made it would be much better.

    This place has a beautiful interior full of refreshing colors and accessories, like a pink motorcycle or light brown couch to name a few. The mochi donuts are all nicely laid out right when you walk in and they're always rotating flavors, we got the Oreo; Fruity pebbles, cinnamon sugar mochi donuts, a potato cheese dog, and Thai iced tea. The donuts were soft, sweet, and chewy (much better warmed up), the cheese dog was deliciously gooey! While the iced tea came in a cool custom container, overall my favorite thing here was the cheese dog and i'd go back just for those!

    Service was excellent. The lady working was super sweet and helpful. The donut and bobas teas were delicious and fresh. Super cute atmosphere. Super fun place !

    There's cheese in there!!!

    If you're looking for a fun treat, check out Mochinut!!! I've never been a donut fan, but I'm a HUGE fan of the mochi donuts...it's a cross between mochi and a donut so the texture is more chewy...they also have panko crusted cheese, cheese hotdogs and plain hotdogs that are sooooo good...not something we would eat everyday, but definitely a delicious little treat every once in awhile!!

    My fruit drink was good but the mochinuts were just ok. There was very few options to pick from. The inside was very dirty. Won't be back.

    Food is always amazing. Drink was good but extremely sweet. Service is definitely something to improve on. Walked in was greeted. For a matter of a fact took about 5 min for the worker to acknowledge my existence.

    Right side of the store.

    Place looks tacky, mochi was sold out, drinks were ok, not fan of hot dogs. No public restroom.

    chunky expired milk tea

    Actually disgusting the boba milk tea was expired and chunky and made me sick. Tasted like expired yogurt. The cheese hot dog sticks were soggy and disgusting. The mochinuts were at least 3 days stale

    this place has always been decent food but odd service...today we showed up for their tanghulu special that they've advertised all over their instagram. when we asked the cashier about it she acted very confused as if that's not something they'd be doing at all. she said "tanghulu?...no we don't do that here." i don't understand why you'd advertise something that your staff don't even know about. will not be returning

    Very good but pricey. Also the drink selection is weak. Should offer some soft drinks and bottled water.

    Donuts aren't bad but selection is usually awful. Weird you can't buy one donut. Boba tea is bland and not authentic.

    This is the best place in Florida. I have been in n Tea Rooms in both the states and Europe…read more The enchanting experience begins as you past through the wooden gateway into the garden. You are surrounded by beautiful flowers and plants creating a wonderful world away from the busyness of everyday life. The cottage is in the middle the secret garden. The interior creates a whimsical mood that will enchant you and take you back in time. Each course is carefully crafted to your liking and can be adapted to meet the needs of food allergies. The service is spot on and the 1:1 attention to detail will leave you wanting to return with more friends. The owner is simply enchanting and will make you feel like royalty. I certainly plan on returning for more adventures. Thank you for making my mother's birthday just perfect!

    Just... wow! Bear with me through this long review, but it deserves every single praise it's given!…read more Once you step through the door of this magical hideaway, you'll find yourself transported to a realm where time slows, and every sip of tea feels like a gentle whisper from an old, beloved storybook. The moment you enter, you are embraced by a cascade of twinkling fairy lights that shimmer like stardust against a twilight sky. Fresh flowers bloom in every corner, their sweet fragrance mingling with the comforting aroma of steeping tea and freshly baked cakes. The menu is a delightful symphony of flavors, with each dish crafted as if by fairy hands. The tea sandwiches are dainty yet satisfying, their ingredients so fresh they seem to have been gathered from a mystical garden just moments before. The salads are vibrant and bursting with life, each leaf and garnish adding to the overall tapestry of flavors. And, of course, the cakes! The cakes are tiny works of art, each bite a burst of sweetness that leaves you floating on clouds of pure bliss. Even the soups, served in charming little teacups, are more than just a meal--they are comfort and warmth, a gentle embrace on a slow afternoon. Each spoonful is like a chapter in a story you never want to end. In this enchanting restaurant, you don't just dine--you dream. Every moment here feels like a stolen piece of a fairy tale, and you'll find yourself lingering, not wanting to break the spell. Whether you come alone to sip tea and read by the soft glow of the fairy lights or with friends to share laughter over a tray of delicate sandwiches, you'll leave with your heart a little lighter and your spirit a little brighter. To say that the owner of this enchanting establishment is just as magical as the place she's created would be an understatement. Kathryn is the heart and soul of this fairy-tale haven, a living embodiment of the kindness and beauty that fills every corner of her restaurant. Her presence is like a gentle breeze, warm and soothing, making everyone who walks through the door feel instantly at home. Her generosity is evident not just in the thoughtful touches that make each visit special--like the fresh flowers that greet you at every table or the extra care taken to ensure each dish is perfect--but in the way she treats each guest like an old friend. There's a sweetness in her smile that makes you feel as though you've known her for years, and a gentle warmth in her words that wraps around you like a comforting blanket. She moves with a quiet grace, always attentive, yet never intrusive. Whether she's offering a kind word, making sure your tea is just right, or sharing a delightful story, she does so with a lightness that leaves you feeling cherished and cared for. It's clear that this restaurant is more than just a business to her--it's a labor of love, a place where she pours her heart into every detail. In a world that often feels rushed and impersonal, the owner's presence is a reminder of the beauty of kindness and the power of a generous spirit. She has created not just a restaurant, but a sanctuary--a place where time slows down, and you can savor not just the food, but the warmth of human connection. To dine here is to be touched by her sweetness, and to leave with your heart a little fuller, your day a little brighter. Thank you, Kathryn, for creating such a beautiful safe haven for all who enter. As long as this establishment is standing, I will be there in attendance.

Actually, just get there early anyway because the pastry items are fresher/better. There's indoor and outdoor seating. I typically skip trying to park next to it and just go to the garage and walk over. The service is more attentive than a typical French cafe overseas but not as on top of you as a typical place in the US. You can definitely order at the counter in French if you want to and I've had a waiter there flip between English, French, Spanish, and another language (maybe Romanian?) in one order. The sandwiches I've had were all lovely, and had a little side salad that could benefit from a better dressing (they serve an okay vinaigrette though). I've yet to encounter a single bad pastry - the elcairs, mousse cakes, and flaky pastries like chausson pommes are on par with the typical boulangerie/pattisserie in France and don't make me think US adaptation at all. Prices are reasonable.

It's a small, quaint spot with an amazing atmosphere, but definitely be prepared to wait if you're coming for brunch it's very popular for a reason! The wait was absolutely worth it, though. I started with a cappuccino, and it was perfection rich, smooth, and exactly what you need to wake up. For food, the savory crepe was outstanding. It had that perfect authentic texture slightly crisp on the edges and soft in the middle. I also tried the cauliflower soup, which was a surprising highlight. It was incredibly creamy and flavorful honestly, one of the best soups I've had in a long time. Highly recommend this gem if you're in the area!
