    Coconut cake 8/10
    Rosalenny V.

    The cafe was extremely adorable with plenty of seating inside and outside. When me and my friend arrived we did have to wait in a line but it went down fairly quickly. Once it was our turn to order we were devastated to find out that they were out of the K-dog batter and could no longer make any so we decided to get extra sweets instead. Overall the deserts were absolutely delicious especially the mochi donuts I would recommend the ones that we tried but of course I'm sure the others taste delicious as well. Our least favorite was probably the crepe cake but that doesn't mean it wasn't also good me and my friend just thought the batter could use a little more flavor. My friend bought the coconut cake and when she first tried it she didn't like it all that much but she said that once she put it in the fridge the texture and flavor of the cake was much better and rated it an 8/10. Aside from the pastries I ordered a mango fruit tea with passion fruit popping boba and I was a bit underwhelmed. The flavor of the fruit tea is lacking a bit but I feel my taste buds were a bit altered after so many sweet treats. I will definitely be back again to give the boba another shot and finally get my hands on those k-dogs!

    My son absolutely loves the mochi donuts from here compared to other local mochi places. Love the design of this location and the workers are extremely lovely here! My son loves the churro mochi donuts and now that you can fine labubus and Sonny angels here is also a super plus to come get yourself a blind box! Will return here to share support. Forgot to mention the pandan coconut cake is my favorite here and so worth to try! Made in house and never disappoints me.

    Chocolate/potato chips, glazed, Oreo mochi donuts

    My Mochi Donut is a cafe and bakery. I am a huge fan of mochi donuts, boba tea, and Korean corn dogs. When I drove by this place, I had to bookmark it to check out soon. The owners of this place also owns a Thai restaurant called Somewhere in Bangkok. I stopped in on a Friday afternoon and the place was packed with a line. The interior and exterior was very cute and pink with a few seats; there were plenty of parking spots. They also offer macarons from a bakery in NYC and signature cakes like the coconut, mango, and crepe cakes. Their mochi donuts are the best I've had; it's chewy and not too sweet. The flavors are unique; they had chocolate & potato chips, fruity pebbles, glazed, Oreo, and more when I stopped in. I ordered 3 for $10.50; those 3 flavors were Oreo, glazed, and chocolate & potato chips. My family and I devoured them, 5 stars. I also ordered two Korean corn dogs that were coated with hot Cheetos and had a cheese and hot dog filling. The dough was chewy and the flavor was savory. I saw them making these corn dogs to order in the back; I think that's why it took quite a bit of time to come out (15-20 minutes). Unfortunately, the employee thought I wanted one so I had to reorder a second one, which was another wait. I would rate these K-dogs 4 stars. I also ordered Thai iced boba tea which was decent; there weren't many boba pearls in it and the flavor wasn't as robust. The employee said they had the latte version which I will try next time. Also, it took a long time to come out too (15-20 minutes). This boba tea was 3 stars. Overall, it's a great place to get some snacks, desserts, and drinks. Aside from the wait times, this place is great. I may have to look into order ahead options for next time. I look forward to trying their other menu items soon.

    Taro mochi donut and ube boba drink
    Susan K.

    ORIGIN: Chanya Sonoriboun first came across mochi donuts as a young adult living in Thailand. The cafe and bakery complements a Thai restaurant she opened with her husband -- Somewhere in Bangkok -- shortly after moving to the United States in 2004. CONCEPT: Mochi Donut Cafe & Bakery sells a range of Asian and Asian-inspired treats, including imported beverages, slices of cake infused with Asian ingredients, and of course freshly baked mochi donuts. LOCATION: The cafe is located in a stand-alone building surrounded by outdoor seating options and ample parking. AMBIANCE: The cafe is decorated such that I felt I was stepping into a teen girl's dream, with cotton candy pink walls, plush smiling boba and mochi character merchandise displayed along walls and counters, and vases of pastel flowers on each table. EXPERIENCE: I was drawn to try the cafe after seeing that it was offered as a Yelp Elite Squad experience, and it was within a ten minute drive from an annual meeting I had during the scheduled Yelp event. Although I missed out on being invited to this event, I replicated on my own during my meeting day as it is otherwise a one hour drive from my home and previous reviews suggested the donuts are better than those offered at another cafe in Connecticut. I found that to be the case as I tried taro mochi donut and an ube boba to replicate the YES experience. Unlike the other option that is available in the Hartford area, the items were not cloying and were priced at a lower cost. To my surprise, the last donut I had in the other mochi cafe in Hartford area was stale... not so at this cafe. Mochi Donut Cafe & Bakery is my new "go to" for mochi and boba when in the Hartford area. SERVICE: Kuma was very helpful and welcoming during my first visit.

    The Mochi Donut Cafe & Bakery is a delightful haven for those seeking a change from the donuts you are used to. They offer a wide selection of Mochi donuts and variety of tea and milk based drinks to compliment each bite. As you step inside The Mochi Donut, you're greeted by an adorably pink interior that exudes charm and whimsy. The decor is thoughtfully designed, creating a cozy atmosphere with a handful of seats both inside and outside, perfect for enjoying your treats on-site if you want. They take great pride in the decorations inside the Bakery. I'm writing this review on my second visit to Mochi and this time the interior of the cafe was set up as a winter pink wonderland. I've had the opportunity to try now a variety of what The Mochi Donut Cafe has to offer. However, the star of the show is undoubtedly their mochi donuts--a fusion of Japanese rice cake (mochi) and classic American donuts. These treats boast a chewy texture and come in a variety of flavors that appear to change a little bit each time I've visited, ensuring there's always something new to try. For this trip I had a 6-pack that includes 2 of the coconut, 2 of the churro and 2 of the Oreo flavors. They also had Fruit Pebble, Macha and Pistachio flavors that I can remember. As mentioned above, beyond donuts, the cafe offers specialty cakes, boba tea, and Korean corn dogs, adding to the diverse menu that caters to various cravings. They also have a lot of Japanese style plushies, sodas and toys that you buy at the register. I've personally had the Boba teas and they will not disappoint. The staff are super friendly and I've always got quick service even during busy times. Whether you're a mochi donut aficionado or a curious first-timer, The Mochi Donut Cafe & Bakery provides a delightful experience that's both sweet and memorable. If you're in the Plainville area and have a hankering for a dessert that's as Instagrammable as it is delicious, The Mochi Donut Cafe & Bakery should be at the top of your list. Just be prepared to fall in love with the mochi style donut--one chewy, flavorful bite at a time .

    "And like a chef making donuts and pastries Its time to make you sweat" (Gwen Steffani) I've seen references to Mochi Donuts and Korean hot dogs for a while, but didn't really know what they were. I finally saw some K Dogs in a New Haven storefront a few months ago and was struck by the bright neon-like variety of colors on their exteriors. Well, after yesterday's visit to the Mochi Donut Café, I now know a lot more about Mochi Donuts and K-Dogs, and I'm here to tell ya, they are both awesome. The Mochi donuts were lined up in the front showcase like something you'd see in a jewelry store or in an art exhibit -- a real kaleidoscope of icing and topping colors. My Oreo donut was very light and airy with zero trace or taste of grease. What is very cool about Mochi Donuts is their shape- they are scalloped around the perimeter (sort of like the pedals of a flower) so you can break off Munchkin-like sections and pop them into your mouth one at a time. Definitely less messy to eat them that way. It was chewy on the inside, a bit crunchy on the outside and excellent all around. The K Dogs really flip the idea of traditional hot dogs on its head. There is a wood skewer through the hot dog before being dipped in a rice flour batter, fried, and rolled in your choice of toppings (classic panko breadcrumbs, potato, Hot Cheetos, and Blue Takis). I went with the Hot Cheeto topping which gave my dog-on-a-stick an orange-red glow. It was excellent- the two-layer coating was a little crunchy from the Cheetos, a little doughy from the rice flour, and the savory hot dog was great. The inside of the café is beautifully decorated, the staff was friendly, and pretty much everything about our Mochi Donut Café experience was top notch.

    Sodas

    Super cute cafe with many instagramable spots inside and out. All the mochi donuts look tasty and thankfully they had samples (when I stopped in) in case you can't buy one of each! I opted for Taro since I always get taro flavored foods when I can, and a Thai milk tea. The Thai tea was super sweet (as I believe they usually are) so I was happy that the warm day melted the ice to dilute it for me But both donut and tea were so tasty. I especially liked the airyness of the donut. Also they carry a nice variety of Asian sodas and trinkets. For sure coming back!

    I have never had a Mochi donut until this past Saturday. It's not located in my neck of the woods but definitely a nice 30 minute drive to get there. They are very airy and light and the toppings are very tasty but not too sweet. This Mochi Donut Cafe is very cute, clean cafe with a pink color seating area. They also sell homemade cakes, Korean corndogs, macarons, coffee, tea, and Boba tea. I purchased a Oreo donut along with the brown sugar/banana iced latte. This donut was truly amazing. It's crunchy on the outside, but soft, airy, and chewy on the inside. Very light not that heavy feeling line a lot of donuts are. Service was friendly and fast. Now that I have tried these donuts, I will be returning for another visit.

    First time trying boba tea and mochi donuts. Both of the Oreo and crème brûlée donuts were fantastic. Both were airy, light and flavorful, not dense. The person in front of me ordered the last crème brûlée donut on display, but they were eager to make a fresh one, which came out warm. The girl working behind the counter was friendly and suggested the brown sugar boba tea, since I've never had it. It was refreshing and a little on the sweeter side. Next time I will have to try a regular non milky tea. The dining area is cute, decorated with plushies with multiple booths and a few single seat areas/tiny table. Outdoor seating also.

    Fruity Pebbles Mochi Donut and Strawberry Tea

    I took my two kiddos to Plainville for a delightful experience at this fun and quaint bakery. The person at the register was a little new so checkout took a bit of time, but it was worth it for these delightful morsels. Mochi donuts are fantastic - crispy on the outside, and light and chewy on the inside, I could definitely trade mochi donuts for cake donuts 9 times of out 10. My brown sugar boba tea was fantastic. I tried the kiddos' strawberry milk tea, and it was too sweet for my taste. I almost ordered the K Dogs, but it was a bit early in the day. If I'm in the area, I would definitely come back!

    Make your mochi dreams come true! This place is the cutest pink mochi donut cafe I've ever been to in CT. I went this past June with my siblings and cousin for a sweet treat. We got a variety pack of the mochi donuts in fruity pebbles, churro, Oreo, and Kit-Kat flavors. We came later in the evening and by then aa lot of the other flavors were already sold out. So my advice is to get there early if you have a particular flavor you want. I got my siblings milk tea boba and fruit smoothies, and I got the crème brûlée milkshake which was a special at the time. They also have Korean corndogs available, which are delicious with a choice of cheese and potato filling or hotdog. I got the blue Takis flavor and want to try the hot Cheetos one next. They also sell cake by the slice as well as macaroons over-the-counter in their bakery section. The staff were friendly and quick, and the ambience was clean, pink and Barbie vibes. Overall, this was a great Kawaii spot and I will definitely be back again soon!

    The Mochi Donut Cafe owned by the same owners of Somewhere in Bangkok. I love how they expanded their bubble teas from their restaurant into a mochi donut shop! You are my Ube is my absolutely fave!! Ube strikes the center of my heart because that's a staple dessert in Philippines. Anything that brings me closer to home is great for me. There's ample parking and I've not been where the lot is full. I've done both dine in and take out and both experiences are easy. The one thing I'd really like is if their database stores memory cause it asks for an email each time. The staff are all pleasant and knows their product well. Absolutely no rush either. The whole store, every wall, every side is cutely decorated and pretty much has a photo opportunity. The donut itself is very light and has that mochi texture. Every bite makes you want to go for the other one. The flavor is all on the toppings. I would like it to be part of the batter and looking forward to that if ever it is made. There is also an abundant set of flavors of bubble tea to choose from! Can't wait to return!

    Great donut place run by friendly, caring people. There is a wide variety of donuts, cakes, and a good assortment of beverages. There is plenty of parking in front of the shop and it is easily accessible. The café is clean and well organized.

    See all
