I originally Googled Mochinut, but the directions led me to a parking lot. I noticed a small pink shop from inside the parking lot, (near the Olive St exit). SOMOCHI: The worker inside the shop said this location may have been a Mochinut but they went bankrupt (or something like that), so now they operate independently. He didn't seem too sure though, and I haven't fact checked it yet, so take with a... "grain-nu-lated" sugar! ;-) MOCHINUTS: - Flavor selection was pretty limited. + A small paper near the display area says they rotate a new flavor every few days. + I ordered three mochinuts, including an original glaze. + The donuts sit on a big spoon-looking tray between the kitchen and cashier (not a traditional display case), looks pretty cool. - The view gets blocked though while the donuts are being boxed. FAST FORWARD: In the car, I open the box to snap a photo for my fellow, faithful Yelpiies and realize I don't see my glaze? No big deal. CUSTOMER SERVICE PLOT TWIST: I go back in, show him the photo, and ask which one is the glaze. He looks at the photo and says, "Oh... I don't think I gave you that one." Then the young fellas proceeds to stare at me, many blank stares lol until I ask if he wants to replace it. DONUT SAFETY LOOP: He says "yes", but asks me to bring the donut back from my car. It felt weird. Once a donut makes it into someone's car & has been opened for a photo (which I showed him) it's a little questionable asking for the donut back, no? It's been exposed to outside elements. It's going to be tossed away right? Right. Right?? Benefit of the doubt, maybe he tossed it? Maybe he ate it himself? I just hope it didn't end up back on that big spoon thing... Doesn't feel outside the realm of possibility here. The whole exchange made me feel a little iffy about eating the Mochi's I already purchased. Like what's the history of my donut before it made it in the box lol. NOTE TO SELF: In 2026, start responding to passive service moments with: "So... Do you want to present me with some solutions?" Lol. TAKEAWAYS: + Thankful I typically do solo test runs before bringing or introducing loved ones. - Mochinut is still a brand, but it looks like several locations have closed due to health code issues, with some replaced by other mochi donut shops. This location might be one of them. - + Dear social media users: Y'all photos be cute, but when the aesthetic gets curated harder than the experience, the honest reviews end up being the most helpful one. read more

Pretty decent to hit that oddly specific chewy mochi donut craving iyk. Best compliment for any Asian dessert is not too sweet of course, and the donuts chew was just right. However, although we tried so many flavors, the cream layer on top was not hitting the perfect amount - was kind of thin and not super distinct from each other, each flavor could almost kind of taste the same. Drinks are cutie though, overall cutie! read more

Cute little pink shop in DTLA. Walking distance from my office. Near Bottega Louie and Whole Foods. No parking except for street. Only 1 worker, nice young lady. Decided to buy half a dozen of the mochi donuts. I chose the fruity pebbles, matcha, black sesame, churro, chocolate pretzel, and rice crispy. My favorites were the matcha and black sesame. Also tried the Hot Cheetos mochi cheese corn dog to walk the office and eat. It was actually really good!! Loved the cheese pull. read more

I parked at the parking lot right next to place and came across this little store as I was walking out of the lot, so I decided to give it a try. The store is a bit small, with very limited seating. I ordered their black sesame mochi donut to-go and was in and out of the place without 5 minutes. The donut was good (4/5). It was crispy and chewy, but the black sesame flavor was lacking. The cream was thin and looked like it kinda melted onto the donut. I wish was it more opaque and flavorful, but the donut itself was good. The service was good and they did offer a variety of flavors. I believe they also sell corn dogs and drinks. The ambiance is cute with their neon lights and colorful palette. I'm glad I randomly stumbled upon this place next to the parking lot. I do recommend checking this place out if you are craving mochi donuts. read more

Come here for a quick sweet treat! There's about two tables for outdoor seating but you'll probably just end up standing outside and eating your treats because the inside is super duper tiny. We ordered donuts and they were good but sadly they couldn't warm them up. Since we arrived at 8pm, our donuts were cold ): I wish they could warm up my donuts As far as parking, we found free street parking nearby on a Thursday evening, but I don't know what it's like on a weekend. read more

Moochi = Korean Hot Dogs + Donuts = Cuteness & Cravings in One Spot! This tiny stand might be small, but it's PACKED with flavor and charm. Moochi is serving up two of my favorite things: crispy Korean hot dogs and fluffy, chewy donuts -- all in one cute little spot! Moochi Korean Hot Dogs Crunchy, cheesy, and totally satisfying. You can customize your hot dog with mozzarella, sausage, or both, and choose fun toppings like spicy mayo, ketchup, and even sugar. Everything is made fresh, and it hits that perfect Korean street food vibe. Moochi Donuts & Taiyaki Right at the same stand, they've got daily rotating donut flavors that are so soft and chewy (mochi-style!). Plus, the taiyaki -- adorable fish-shaped waffles -- can be filled with cheese or red bean, OR used as a cone for soft serve. It's almost too cute to eat. Almost. Don't skip the drinks! They have slushy coffee and sparkling Korean Bona drinks to cool you down. Such a fun, quick stop with tons of personality. Whether you're grabbing a hot dog, donut, or both (which you should), Moochi is a must-try snack spot. I'll definitely be back to see what flavors they've got next! read more

It was my first time ordering mochi donuts here, and I was really disappointed--especially since I'd heard so many great things about this place. The cashier who took my order didn't seem very professional. I had to repeat my order several times because he kept forgetting, and when I paid in cash, he gave me the wrong change. My total was $37.32, and I gave $40.32, but I only got about $1.70 back--several dollars short of what I should have received. Unfortunately, I didn't realize this until I got home because I was in a rush. Honestly, if a cashier can't handle basic math or provide accurate change, they probably shouldn't be working the register. read more

Always walk by this location, decided to treat myself. There's an assortment of drinks, snacks, and treats. I like the decor despite limited seating since it's a petite location. I ordered the matcha frappe and red bean paste Taiyaki. Someone stole the internet cord previous night before I visited. Unfortunate thieves in dtla targeted this small business but they have other forms of payment via Venmo, Zelle, Apple Pay, and cash. The co owner I met was very nice despite circumstances. Hope they resolve and thief proof their important wires. Furthermore, the matcha frappe was icy but tasty. I optioned for oatmilk and the tasty red bean Taiyaki was made to order. I've read mixed reviews about their mochi but I'll return to try one with ice cream. There isn't a public restroom so plan accordingly. Yet the vibes are an aesthetic. read more

1 of my top favorite doughnut shops in LA. I love the diversity of different of flavors they have to offer and how the options change daily. I especially enjoy how fresh and delicious these doughnuts are with their unique texture/flavors. They have other cool/yummy looking items on their menu that I have yet to try like boba drinks & corn dogs! The shop itself is small, but adorable. The workers are always friendly & there's always good vibes anytime I stop by to buy donuts! I love their banana milk flavor because it's always topped with the honey smacks cereal (iykyk) which just so happens to also be my favorite cereal. Definitely stop by & check this spot out if you're in DTLA looking for something sweet & unique. read more

The store is small but I guess you don't need a big space. This is the second time I have had there donuts. It's a different spin on what is a donut. Since I never been to Korea. Just another way to try their street foods in the USA. And being so close to work for a treat is great. I do however want to try their drinks. They look good and refreshing.

SO MF BOMB BITCH Sure! Here's a concise, Yelp-style doughnut review that sounds natural and credible: Came in craving something sweet and this doughnut did not disappoint. Fresh, soft, and perfectly fluffy with just the right amount of sweetness. The glaze wasn't overpowering and the dough itself had great flavor, which is something a lot of places miss. You can tell these are made fresh and with care. I only meant to get one, but that plan didn't last long. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area and need a solid doughnut fix.

I went to Damo around 2pm on a weekend, and the line was already starting to form out the door…read more Unfortunately, the line takes up a majority of the cafe space, along with the few sitting tables, so it was pretty difficult to find a spot to wait for my drink after ordering. The pickup area can also get blocked by the line or waiting area, which can make it a little awkward when you're trying to reach over someone to grab your drink. I ordered the Coconut Hojicha and the Matcha Einspanner. The Coconut Hojicha was refreshing, nutty, and definitely the standout of the two. It's such a fun twist on the typical matcha coconut drink, and I have to give Damo their flowers for creating something that feels unique. The Matcha Einspanner wasn't particularly stand-out compared to some of the other cafes in K-Town, but it was still a well-balanced drink with a nice mix of bitterness, sweetness, and creaminess. I can definitely see why so many people consider Damo one of their favorite cafes. Despite the crowded setup, the drinks are creative and thoughtfully done!

Seating is limited, though they do offer a few outdoor tables and a bench inside while you wait for your drinks. The service was great. The employees were friendly, welcoming, and the overall atmosphere was relaxed and enjoyable. As for the coffee, it unfortunately wasn't my favorite. I tried the Cloud Latte and found it a bit too thick, lacking the smoothness and flavor I was hoping for. I also tried the Cinnamon Cloud, which was smoother but still tasted fairly bitter to me. Coffee preferences are subjective, of course, but the flavor profile just didn't quite hit the mark for me. That said, I enjoyed everything else about the experience and would be willing to come back and try a few different drinks from the menu. The service and ambiance were definitely highlights of the visit.

Any of their cream tops are honestly perfection and probably what makes the drink for me. The matcha itself is rich, creamy, and really smooth. I wouldn't necessarily say it's super strong, but it's definitely not weak either. It doesn't have as much of that bitter/earthy matcha taste. The drinks do lean on the sweeter side, which is kind of a dilemma for me because the cream is SO good, but it also takes away from the matcha a little. I love the cream and wouldn't want less of it, but I do wish the matcha came through a bit more. Additionally, the cup is pretty small And getting matcha here is honestly a whole DEDICATED JOURNEY. Parking, waiting in line, waiting for your drink... you have to really want that matcha. But I would 100% come back. Despite the journey and the small cup, Rōk is still easily one of my favorite matcha spots in LA.

The pop-up is easy to find, it's outside facing into the parking lot, and they had a cute A-frame sign out by the street side. There was no line, and I ordered and sat down at one of the tables out front. The service was so warm, and I believe the shop is owned and operated by one man on his own! He was an absolute delight to meet, and he brought my matcha latte to me at the table when it was prepared. He suggested I get the cream top on it, and boy was that the perfect recommendation. I would say I'm a little bit of a matcha fiend... I think I got a matcha latte at 3 different places this day... and this one far surpassed the others. I think it was one of the best matcha lattes I have ever drank to-date. It was perfectly green, the matcha quality was phenomenal, both taste and look-wise. The texture was just right, perfectly creamy with barely any grittiness. The cream top only added to the drink, and didn't take away from the matcha flavor at all, which I feel like has happened at other places for me. I'm dreaming of this matcha latte days later, and need to go back to Kokoro No Coffee as soon as I am in town again. This was a spectacular find, and I hope this spot gets all the love it deserves!

Luckily it was easy to find street parking nearby. It's a very cute and cozy coffee shop and there was no line when we arrived. The menu had a huge selection of different coffee and tea drinks and also a seasonal menu. The staff were very kind and patient and swiftly prepared the Vienna Latte and Hojicha Latte we ordered. The Vienna Latte is so visually stunning, the layers of white milk, brown espresso, thick white cream, brown cocoa powder and Biscoff layered on top of each other against the dark green logo was so aesthetic. Having a sip before mixing the Vienna latter was incredible, the sweet cream followed with the nutty strong espresso flavour then getting a refreshing splash of milk made a great combo with the Biscoff. I actually liked the drink less after its all mixed because it was too creamy for my taste. (I normally like my coffee black) My hojicha latte was great, but it was also too milky for me. So I went up and asked if it would taste good dirty, with an espresso shot in it, and the barista said yes. I ordered an espresso shot and instead of charging me full price, they only charged me the add on espresso shot for the drink! ($1.50 instead of $4) It was very kind of them since it was absolutely my mistake for not ordering the right drink in the first place. The shot added much depth and flavour to the hojicha latte I was craving. Thanks for the wonderful service. I'm definitely coming back to try their other specialty drinks.

I ordered the Orange Mint Latte, Matcha Sparkling Lemonade, Einspanner White, Hibiscus Mint Sparkling Lemonade, and of course, a cortado. I also tried their Wagyu Sliders. Every drink was fantastic. What I really enjoyed was how different each one was from the next. It didn't feel like I was ordering variations of the same drink -- each had its own flavor profile, presentation, and unique touch. The Orange Mint Latte was especially interesting, and both sparkling lemonades were refreshing and completely different from what I would normally order. The Einspanner White was another standout. Overall, it was a really fun variety to try at once. The cortado was also very good. It had a nice flavor, smooth texture, and was easy to drink. Their approach is a little different from a traditional cortado presentation because the espresso and milk are fully integrated together rather than finished with latte art. I actually appreciate that style when it's executed well because the focus is more on getting the espresso and milk completely incorporated into one cohesive drink. The presentation across the entire order was also really well done. You can tell there's thought behind how everything is served and put together, which adds to the overall experience. The Wagyu Sliders were great as well. I think the food side of Archives of Us deserves more attention because they have some genuinely good food options to go along with the drinks rather than the food feeling like an afterthought. The space itself is beautifully designed with plenty of seating inside as well as an outdoor seating area. I love the overall atmosphere and aesthetic -- there are certain details about the design, presentation, and experience that remind me of coffee shops I've visited in Japan. The staff made the experience even better. Everyone was extremely friendly, kind, and welcoming. Overall, Archives of Us has a lot going for it. A beautiful space, great service, thoughtful presentation, a strong variety of drinks, solid coffee, and food worth trying as well.

The shop itself has a really cool aesthetic and a lot of seating for working. However, the parking has one of the strongest and most disgusting urine smells that I have experienced in LA.

Here is my review of each item: Eispanner Matcha: 3/10, really high astringency, indicative of low quality matcha and cream matcha was too runny. Vanilla latte: 8/10 great taste but they charge you for a latte and give you a cup almost as small as that of an espresso which was really annoying. I don't mind if it's small but at least charge accordingly. Avocado toast: 1/10 was sweet for some odd reason and the avocado was already turning black when I received it . Took two bites and had to throw it away. Definitely would not get again.

Mason Latte (Double shot Espresso, whole milk, homemade brown butter caramel, sea salt - iced $7.75): This drink had to be mixed and shaken first. A solid latte and not too sweet. The flavor was a tad light, but not bad. *** While no food or drink in particular made this place stand out among all other amazing coffee shops in Los Angeles, this is still a solid all-around coffee shop in my book.

Mochinut donuts are a unique and fun twist on traditional donuts, combining the chewy texture of mochi with the familiar sweetness of a donut. Each bite has a bouncy, soft texture that's unlike anything from a regular donut shop. The shape -- a ring of connected balls -- makes them easy to pull apart and share. The flavors are where Mochinut really shines. They offer a wide variety, from classic glazed to more adventurous ones like matcha, ube, churro, and black sesame. The donuts are often beautifully decorated and have a lightly crispy outside with a satisfyingly chewy interior. Price-wise, they are a little more expensive than your typical donut, but you're paying for something that's freshly made, visually appealing, and a little bit different. They are perfect for when you want a sweet treat that's a bit out of the ordinary. Overall, Mochinut donuts are a must-try for anyone who loves chewy desserts, Asian-inspired flavors, or just wants a fun and Instagram-worthy snack. read more

Okay, all I can say is I've never had a donut this yummy. I mean, I'm no expert but we do tend to try out popular foodie spots from Yelp whenever the opportunity presents itself. I followed this shop's Instagram page and it just so happened (?) to come up in my feed when we were in Downtown. They are on the pricier side. We purchased a dozen and it was approximately $30. That being said, I would definitely buy them again. They have a good selection of donuts and change them every 3 days. The employees make the line move pretty quickly. There's bound to be something, actually, most likely a LOT of goodies, for everyone! We will definitely be back for those Korean corndogs!! The dough on these are a nice crunchy outside, pillowy inside taste of goodness. If clouds had a texture and flavor, it would be this. Parking could be a bit tricky but there is some indoor AND outdoor seating. Last but not least, you will inevitably gain weight if you fail to hit the gym afterwards! read more

If you're anywhere near downtown LA and haven't tried Somochi yet, you're seriously missing out. These donuts are next level--crispy on the outside, perfectly chewy on the inside, and just the right amount of sweet. They're made mochi-style, so you get that addictive texture in every bite. The flavors rotate, which is dangerous because it makes you want to come back constantly. Ube, matcha, churro, black sesame--you really can't go wrong. Everything tastes super fresh, and they look almost too good to eat (but you'll eat them anyway, fast). The shop itself is small and cute, and the staff is always friendly and chill. You can tell they care about what they're serving. Bottom line: Somochi is a must-visit if you're into donuts--or honestly, even if you're not. These things might just convert you. read more

Moochie Donut in downtown LA is a true delight! Their donuts are a cloud of perfection, fried to an airy, melt-in-your-mouth finish. The toppings? Oh-so-unique, they add an element of fun and excitement to each bite. I couldn't resist trying the cheese sticks - apologies, I can't recall their official name, but they were an experience! While I'm not sure if it's something I'd indulge in again, I believe everyone should give it a shot. Regarding service, I had an Uber Eats delivery, so I can't speak to that aspect. But if you're in for a one-of-a-kind donut experience, Moochie is where it's at! read more

Service, quality…read more I've been a frequent customer at this food court whenever we fly in from Texas, and I've always stopped by J's Food Mart for a drink when visiting Cilantro Lime. Unfortunately, this visit was extremely disappointing. The drink tasted horrible, and when I brought it to their attention, the staff was unfriendly and dismissive, making no effort to replace it or resolve the issue. For a much better experience, go to Cilantro Lime--their food, drinks, and customer service have always been top-notch whenever I visit this food court. J's Food Mart has officially lost my business. Poor customer service like this should never be overlooked.

Flour Café was the perfect place to celebrate my birthday! The pancakes were incredible--light,…read morefluffy, and cooked perfectly. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The service was outstanding. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made us feel genuinely welcome. The atmosphere was warm and relaxing, making it a great spot to start the day. If you're in Downtown LA and looking for an amazing breakfast, Flour Café is definitely worth a visit. I'll absolutely be coming back!

Actually an oasis in a concrete wasteland…read more From the place we were parking at, we walked by Fleur Cafe on the way to Anime Expo. Service was super friendly, welcoming, and attentive. They made sure to check up on us several times throughout the visit and explained the menu quite well. If you told me this was a cafe in Pasadena and not DTLA, I'd believe you. The fresh burst of green, the plants everywhere, fresh cut flowers on each table, and the decor (even in the restroom), is actually a breath of fresh air to all the cement and urban cityscape outside. For our brunch, we got the: 1) Fleur Burrito (the cafe's name is in the name, it has to be good, right?): -Huge, generous portion and we had this cut in half. -Comes with scrambled eggs, house made chicken chorizo, rice, black beans, tomato, onion, jalapeno, and cilantro wrapped in a flour tortilla. -You can ask for salsa or hot sauce to the side but the filling was seasoned so well that it wasn't necessary to sauce it up (something I usually do with all of my burritos). -Everything was evenly spaced on the inside, making each bite a delicious mix of textures and tastes. They don't skimp out on the protein either. Good and filling for a long day. 2) Sweet Sunshine: -This is a strawberry, mango, agave, lemon juice and oat milk smoothie. It is a bit pricy for $10, but if you look at Jamba Juice, this is a much better deal with how fresh all the fruit is and how thick the smoothie is. Definitely filled me up to the point where I could only take a couple bites of the burrito and I had more than enough to fill a to go cup on our way out. I know we'll be trapped going to AX in the future, so this may be a yearly stop for us when we're in the area.

He made sure we were perfectly happy the entire time and the food was incredible. I would send a picture of my pulled pork sandwich but I ate it all. 10/10 vibes, beautiful colors and decorations. Wonderful staff he should get a raise

I chose the everything bagel with egg whites, turkey sausage, pepper jack and avocado. 10/10!! The smoothie was delicious as well, very refreshing. Since I just came in for pick up, I only really interacted with the cashier and he was very friendly. The inside was quite dim but loved that there's a lot of seats as well. Would love to come back and try more food items.
