Great visit here with awesome service (got to meet the store owner)! My favorite part about this branch is their unique offerings- from Indian fusion paneer tikka dogs (which accommodates vegetarians and introduces a new culture into the mix) to themed donuts on special days (like baseball color themed donuts, cherry blossom themed donuts during full bloom season or tie-dye donuts for the Holi festival), this branch specializes in a variety of creative ideas!
Mochinut is different from the classic donut because it is a fusion between the famous Japanese mochi and a regular donut, yielding a chewier texture. I personally really enjoy this style of donut, especially from here, since it isn't too sweet and it's also really fun to pull apart the donut one segment at a time (like little donut holes - does anyone else do this?)
During my visit, there was high donut turnover so I got a freshly made batch of 6 donuts in order of preference: Homer Simpson, Blueberry Bae, Chocolate churro, Blackberry funnel cake (yummy but couldn't taste blackberry at all), cookies and cream (flavor wasn't strong enough for me- may have to be a chocolate base for me to be convinced), matcha (tasted too earthy for me, but I am also quite picky with my matcha!)
I also tried the paneer tikka dog, which was great, but I also wished there was even MORE spice/masala flavor on it- it would be a great choice for folks with a lower spice tolerance though!
Lastly, I tried their other specialty called the Boba Delight! This is essentially a mochinut boba soft serve sundae that surprisingly worked. This is probably a hot take, but I sort of liked it when the ice cream partially melted into the mochinut making it slightly soft but still crunchy on the outside? Anyone resonate with me?
Anyway, I frequent Mochinut, but particularly enjoyed my visit to this branch! read more
