Bear Donut is a solid addition to the mochi doughnut scene. Stopped in on Easter Sunday to grab some treats (they had cute holiday specials). Out of the box of four that I got, the passionfruit was by far the best, followed by the classic. The other two were decent. I think Mochi Mochi Donut is slightly better, but these are definitely worth trying. Need to return for ube hot chocolate and soft serve - may up my rating depending on how good those are! 4.5 stars. read more

We passed the donut shop on the way to lunch and I begged my hubby to stop and it was a delicious decision! - Raspberry mochi donut: the mochi donut was chewy and soft. The raspberry icing wasn't overly sweet - just good amount of sweetness. - Double milk tea cream donut: my favorite! I was nervous for the amount of cream on it but the cream was actually tasted light yet creamy - tasty! I could taste the milk tea flavor in the cream. The donut was soft and fluffy. But yeah, it was a bit messy eating it since there was a lot of cream in it. read more

Cute donut shop that opened up in Ktown! I saw that they offered coffee and mochi donuts so I decided to check it out. They offer donuts in packs of 4, 6, and 12. I made the mistake of ordering a box of 8 and missed out on the discounted prices for 6 or 12. The Double Milk Tea seemed to be the most popular flavor because it was not in the display when I arrived. Luckily, the staff was making more in the back and I got to try one. The cream was light and fluffy and it did taste like milk tea. My husband tried their Coffee Toffee and found it to be stale/hard. It must have not been a fresh donut. We both enjoyed the S'mores as the toasted marshmallow frosting/glaze was similar to the real thing. read more

Bear Donut specializes in a few different types of treats, including glazed mochi doughnuts, cream-filled brioche doughnuts, ice cream-and-doughnut combos, and even sandwiches made with the doughnuts. As a first-timer seeking to stick to the basics, I picked up a box of 4 doughnuts for myself this past weekend (you can also do boxes of 6 or 12). They ranged from very good to excellent and were all gone far too quickly. I've seen the mochi doughnuts described as distinct in texture and flavor from the yeast and cake varieties, and surely they are, but I thought they were much closer to yeast doughnuts: the same light and airy qualities, maybe a bit chewier. I tried the lavender and the coffee toffee (which was topped with actual bits of crunchy, chocolate-covered toffee!), both of which were glazed with quite sweet but tasty icings. The lavender had a pretty subtle floral flavor, while the toffee flavor in the latter treat was more pronounced. The second two were brioche doughnuts: double milk tea and strawberry. The double milk tea was SO heavenly and the frothy whipped cream (of which you get a HUGE amount) actually tasted like the real beverage. The strawberry, certainly the prettiest of the entire bunch, was still very good, but probably my least favorite overall. The strawberry cream wasn't too sweet but had a slightly artificial flavor. The brioche itself (in both doughnuts) was good but almost tasted a tad sour when contrasted with the cream. I came at around 11:30 on a Saturday and there was no line at all, and only two other people eating at one of the few tables in the small shop. I would definitely come back to try other flavors and look forward to doing so! read more

I've always seen this place on TikTok and it was just as cute as on screen. I love their adorable bear logo that was seen everywhere in the store, even on some of their merch. The staff was very kind in explaining all the flavors and the types of donuts they have which were cream filled brioche and mochi. We ordered the 4 mochi donut combo and got passion fruit, chocolate crunch, coffee, and pistachio. The donuts were a little bit oily and the frosting could have had a little more flavor. I felt like the passion fruit only had a faint hint of that fruit flavor and the chocolate frosting could've used more cocoa. They also were a little more dense than other mochi donuts I've had. Overall I think next time I'll try their cream filled donuts as I wasn't a huge fan of their mochi ones. read more

it was empty when we came so service was quick and average. it's a small shop but it's cute inside. tiramisu doughnut and the coffee doughnut were faves. almost has a chewy texture. strawberry and milk tea were just ok: the cream has no real depth or taste and kind of just wet. read more

They just opened another location in Englewood and the donuts here are very yummy. We got a pistachio donut , a lavender, strawberry , and a cookies and crème one. They are mochi styled donuts so it's a different taste from regular donuts . Give it a try. read more

We got 3 donuts - rose, passionfruit, and strawberry milk. I didn't love the taste of the rose flavored donut, but the donut was soft and chewy. I thought the passionfruit one tasted better, and it also had a great texture. The strawberry milk donut was soft, but I didn't love the flavor of the cream. I would need to come back when they are in stock with more popular flavors to give a better judgment on the donuts read more

I do like this place a lot more than say Dunkin, or a few other spots. The mochi donuts are poppin, and a must try. I liked the passionfruit ones the most. I felt they were just right in texture, not stale which was quite common with other places I've been to. Service was good, the place was clean when I did the pickup for work. Overall I liked the spot and will come back read more

What an unexpected treat! Very small store, would have missed it if not for the baby blue outdoor seating. I had an iced coffee which was tasty and strong but what you're really going there for, are the donuts! Lovely unique flavors. My pick of the day was the strawberry milk and the pb&j. Both were incredible. Rich, not too sweet. read more

Love the people, the donuts ... not so much. Guess I'm not a fan of mochi-style chewy donuts. An acquired taste I suspect. I suspicion if this STYLE is your jam these will be a great example. I just like me some crunch. (IMHO they are also a bit small for the price.) Did NOT get a brioche donut which was a mistake by me. Also got a Bear Donut Coffee with Milk Soft Serve which I HIGHLY recommend. NOT too sweet and nice. Make sure to ask for your sugar or sugar substitute of choice though as it needs a bit. Have to say again that the young man I dealt with was TERRIFIC and I'd go back for just the coffee with soft serve - have to try to Brioche next time I guess ... read more

Although Im not in the area often, I always stop by to grab a box of donuts whenever I am in Ktown. Their coffee and scallion cream cheese donuts are top tier albeit every other donut I tried never disappointed. Also, Sophie is so sweet and always has a good energy whenever I come by! read more

Bear donut is unique because of their brionut (Brioche doughnuts) that's not like your typical hole in the middle donuts. It's most similar to the Italian bomboloni... but instead of the fillings being stuffed in the middle, it's shaped like a clam shell. The donut tasted like if a regular donut and a cream puff had a kid. You get the best of both worlds! It's fluffy, light, creamy, yet not overpoweringly sweet. It's like the third time I've eaten here and I always get the double milk tea brionut, but this time we also got the strawberry flavor. They are both delicious but the original double milk tea is still my favorite. read more

Located right next to Hyatt Herald Square, I visited this place more times than I should have. I made it my mission to try a new flavor daily, unfortunately I failed that mission, but not because I did not try. I had never had a mochi donut, but heard the name numerous times. What better way to try new cuisines than in NY, esp those that are tucked away. The young lady behind the counter explained the flavor profile of a few of the sweet treats based on what I told her I liked. Lavender is what I went with and y'all, let me tell ya...I should have ordered 2,3,4 more. I only purchased one because I did not want to ruin my appetite for all the tasty things I had planned for the day. I was in NYC for 6 days and I visited as often as I could depending on the plan for the day. Convenient location and small inside area with limited seating, but I noticed a few chairs outside. Koreatown was a great place to stay, so many food options and so many new cuisines for me to choose from. My travels will always include NYC and I will come back to get a sweet treat as often as possible. read more

Donuts are a culture in its own right; and this is this culture's best embassy in New York right now. The service is impecable. The kitchen is open, and you can get a glimpse of where donuts are fried, and where the sugar is added. The design of the donuts is beautiful. And the simplists are definitively the tastyest. Graphic design is retro-cool, and makes up for the limitations of the space. Overall, a good spot for a sugar break if you are in the área. read more

This is the classic donut reimagined!!! I assumed it was a donut shop which I don't mind at all. So I bought a Crunch Chocolate donut. Took a bite and was surprised it is a mochi donut!!! I love a good mochi donut especially since this one has that little fluffy crunch with mochi texture inside. This location is sadly currently under scaffolding but it is a hidden gem that has Instagram lighting and set-up to capture that ideal donut or drink you order. The girl who helped me packed neatly my order and recommended a good option for me to start with. I would most definitely be coming back and trying more as well as the drinks and other sweet treats read more

What a cute spot! Found this while walking through Manhattan. This was definitely a great discovery. You walk in the space and everyone is friendly, the decoration is adorable. I had to first take video and absorb.... To much to deal with. I wanted everything. Thank Goodness they had boxes of 4,8 and 12 I went with four. From Glazed to an Adorable cookies and cream that looks like a BEAR . I can not wait to bring a friend here as this is the cutest little spot. I also ordered a strawberry drink, it was too sweet for me ( I don't know why I ordered it) but, my niece would have loved it. I had to let it go. lol no star loss for my taste buds. read more

Honestly, I didn't realize how much fun I'd get from a donut shop. We got attracted by the cute bear and went into an inviting and friendly mochi donut shop. The space is clean and the service was amazing. The manager, Sophie, was the highlight. She is so nice, funny, and helpful. I am so impressed with their products. In fact, it's the best mochi donut I've ever had! My favorite was the lavender and blueberry ones. Seriously, if you're in the area, "donut" miss out on this! read more

Bear Donut is a Korean-inspired donuttery that offers rotating flavors of donuts, soft serve, and drinks. I came here early in the morning, and I ordered the Peanut Butter & Jelly cream-filled brionut - while this looked super delicious, it was slightly stale. I was disappointed, as I would have thought that the donuts would be fresh as they were made on the premise, and I did go early enough in the morning... Staff were very friendly, and the place is very bright and cheery. They also sell gift items and accessories to sport the Bear Donut logo. I'm glad I was able to check this place out, but wouldn't go out of my way to return. +slightly stale donuts T___T +friendly service read more

Good donuts but not the best. I had the toasted coconut and matcha. I really liked the donut of the toasted coconut but it was a bit greasy and too sweet. I might have preferred the donut plain. The cream in the matcha donut was delicious! The exterior donut is made differently than the non-stuffed donuts. I tried the black sesame draft milk. I asked the employee if it was better hot or cold. She said hot so that's what I tried. It was okay. Not too much flavor. My 2 donuts and drink cost a little more than $13. It's a cute shop inside. Very clean and well kept with some merchandise you can buy as well. There are a few tables inside and outside for you to enjoy your donuts. read more

encountered this store accidentally while in Korea town. after a heavy meal filled with spice one would want something sweet and a bit light. not too sweet as many Asians would say. bear donut is the perfect combination of Asian and American. the soft mochi donut combined with the chewiness and crispy exterior just can't be beat. I always find myself gravitating towards the mochi donuts as its texture makes the experience all the more fun. the interior is cute and cozy, decked out with their own merchandise and color coded to the blue bear. this time we only got the original mochi donut with vanilla glaze fresh out of the kitchen! highly recommend as I couldn't get enough of it. one is definitely not enough to share even if you don't have a sweet tooth. will be returning to try their blue matcha which is something I've never heard of ! adorable picturesque walls and decorations. service was friendly and fast. informative as well if you were ever curious about their donut flavors read more

Got 6 donuts, they were all rlly good. The strawberry matcha had a lot of cream inside. Some of the donuts were mochi donuts. They also serve ice cream on a donut and it's a pretty good combo. The workers are super kind and patient. My fav flavor was def the raspberry. read more

Maybe I should have come earlier in the day, but I wish their donuts had been more fresh. The dough tasted a little tough. I had the dirty choco (the chocolate mousse was surprisingly very weak), the tiramisu (much better), the double milk tea (one of the store favorites but I found it to be just ok), the crunch chocolate and the classic (both tasted a lil old). Overall, I have to believe they're better when coming fresh out of the oven, but since my working hours don't allow an earlier visit, I doubt I'll return. They ain't cheap either. read more

The donuts here were absolutely perfection We tried the filled strawberry and y'all. For real. It's so tasty! There's a ton of filling so enough to share but you're going to want to eat it alone It was so creamy and flavorful and just a little crispy in the shell! I wish we'd gotten 3 more but idk how we'd have brought them home but they were that good. We also got a matcha hot chocolate which was really good! Id try the Ube next time though and really sad they didn't have Ube soft serve this time! It's a small shop and they just have a few seats with tiny little tables so not a place to hang out read more

Small but well-appointed cafe close to k-town. There is limited seating inside and out and the storefront itself might be easy to miss, but everything was very clean and the menu is expansive. Service was quick. I only stopped in quickly for a cupsleeve event but the donuts looked good and the options were more exciting than the mochi donuts available on 32nd street. I enjoyed my matcha hot chocolate and would come back to try something else. Their website lists the baked good flavors and has some info on best times to come for certain items. read more

Browsing the map of New York City trying to plan our day brought us here -- every time I'd scan by, this name popped up and I felt obligated to give this a shot (good or bad!) due to an inside joke with a friend back at home. Luckily the reviews were also great, so I had to stop in after our obligatory visit to the Empire State Building. And the reviews were very correct. I've never had a mochi donut, but these are so smooth. The raspberry was absolute perfection and I wish I would've gone back for more on our trip. The stuffed strawberry was a little much for me - not a knock on the donut itself, but just not quite as satisfying as the regular mochi donut. Definitely would've opted for another flavor personally, but it was still very good. (Maybe a better dessert than a breakfast!) We also had the s'mores hot chocolate which was very good! We were in a hurry so just a quick in and out for us, which is good because there is very limited seating inside and all of it was taken up. So plan accordingly there, this isn't really a sit-down restaurant situation. Grab and go is your best bet. read more

So yummy! I really enjoyed their Scallion Cream Cheese Brionut, light and flavorful, so good!! It was something different to have a savory option and then paired well with an iced matcha oat milk.

Excellent mochi donuts tucked away in ktown. Came here with a group of friends as we were all craving something sweet after lunch. A friend of ours really loved this place and I think the ice cream and donuts are worth trying. Got the pistachio donut and the lavender soft serve. The pistachio donut doesn't really taste like pistachio, but the texture of the mochi donut is really good. The lavender soft serve was to die for. They give you a huge swirl that can easily be shared among 6-8 people and the flavor was exactly like lavender. The workers are nice and accommodating. Small space to hang out, but a great grab and go spot. read more
