    Chocolate mochi donut
    Inverleith F.

    3.5 stars for our first visit to Dainty Donuts. The outside signage is colorful and drew us in. Having read some of the reviews comparing this shop to the previous one, I can't comment on that. Hubby got a chocolate mochi donut and an apple fritter because the hunt for the best fritter continues on! The fritter is small and relatively flat which is a good way to get a good crunch. The not so good is that there's not many apples but the taste of cinnamon and nutmeg is solid. Hubby thought it cost close to $4. The mochi donut was okay. We can't help but compare to Hawaii. Yep, spoiled! The glaze is the traditional chocolate donut glaze which is too sweet for our tastes. It was a good chocolate flavor. Great shop, easy parking and friendly staff so please support them. If this is your go to spot, thank you! It's always a benefit to have a local donut shop versus Safeway.

    I regret not buying all the cinnamon mochi donuts I've seen here... so good! Love the texture. Not too sweet, decent price for what it is, and slightly larger than most mochi donuts around the area. Come early for the apple fritters and cruller style donuts. I tried going here after OTF and the person in front of me got the last crueller, and that was the last one! Tried again at the same time a couple weeks later, and there were no more crullers and was told those and the fritters were really popular. I guess I wasn't dedicated enough to stop by before my Sunday workout. Plenty of options, be surprised and try whatever they have. Old fashion donuts, sprinkle cake donuts, various glazes (chocolate, maple, etc), cinnamon swirls, bars, etc. I've just tried a pistachio mochi donut, cinnamon mochi donut, and a maple glazed donut. All were pretty good. Was a bit over $8 for all three. Small place, kind people. Would def get more donuts/try more donuts next time. Seems they have different stuff each time I've stopped by. One day I will be there early enough for a cruller!

    What a delicious surprise, family came home with a variety of yummy donuts and I was shocked how delicious each one was. The apple fritter has an amazing cinnamon flavor, the cereal donuts were great and highly recommend the mochi donuts, you can't go wrong!

I say it all the time in my reviews. I've had access to a plethora of coffee and matcha industry. And wherever I am on the globe, I always look for these shops during our adventures. Milly & Illian. My gosh. So welcoming. So proud of the shop, its products and their leadership. I hope the owners know. First timer here and I spent $52. Readers: the $52 was completely worth it as soon as we took a bite of the passion fruit mochi. Heaven sent. It's akin to Kailua's Bits & Bites on Oahu. Please don't ever close. Please stay open longer. This is the first time I've tried this after wanting to visit for so many years. I work full time andddd I live in 707 so it's a little bit of a trek out here. Orrrrr consider bringing this to 707- I would recommend Benicia if you are familiar with first street. You'd kill it here! I want to bring it back to my guys Milly and Illian. I'm big big big on energy and customer service and you both broughttttt it. Being 38 when I visit these very trendy IG worthy spots, I'm usually disappointed- if not by the coffee or dessert, most definitely by the customer service. Read all my reviews, it's my first comment usually. To the owners reading this, seriously give a shout out to these lovlies. They started my day on the right foot. Xoxo Can't wait to see what you bring back from Taiwan (see the guys shared where you are- sure to make the matcha and mochi shop even cooler). I'll come back soon! Kathleen

In order to find good matcha I usually have to go out to Berkeley or SF but decided to give this spot a try considering my friend was visiting from Oakland. Upon arrival, I appreciated the parking available for customers. However after noticing some workers were cleaning up, we quickly realized we had actually came ten minutes before closing! We felt so bad so we rushed in to place our order as quickly as we could. We noticed as one of the workers were getting ready to close the main door, she was a bit rude to the other worker seemingly about doing other closing tasks. We overlooked this but were glad the other kind worker welcomed us in. I ordered mango matcha and my friend ordered a strawberry matcha which were great choices! However, I was glad I chose mango! I think their recipe definitely is better than other competing matcha spots in the area. As we waited for our drinks we noticed the cute sign they had! Definitely a nice touch to the shops ambiance. As we were getting ready to leave, the kind worker who took our order even asked us if we wanted any of their leftover pastries! We chatted and she mentioned how they were closing for a week long summer break. My friend and I picked pastries based on how they looked, and she even proceeded to tell us a bit about the flavors they had. Although I don't consume gluten free products myself, this was definitely a plus for other customers who might. When we got to the car we tried some pastries. I fell in love with the churro pastry and my friend enjoyed the muffin with seeds on top (reference picture included). Now, I will definetely be coming back and getting their pastries and matcha, thanks to that amazing worker! (wish I caught her name)

My go-to is always an original glazed as it's not covered up with frills and distractions from truly tasting the dough. At first look, it wasn't overly opague aka covered in sugar glaze. It had just enough to sweet the top. It was a nice chew and sponginess that made me want to take another bite. Not too sweet. I only cut half as I wanted to try something sweeter, working my way up. I love a good raspberry jelly donut. Again, nice chew and not too sweet. Filling didn't have that artificially taste and spread evenly with each bite. I enjoyed it. DD loved the chocolate cake with cereal top. She didn't share bc it was that good to her. Hubs ate the chocolate glaze and maple bar by himself so I couldn't taste either. I guess the fam enjoyed it. Wish they had some French Cruellers as that's another favorite of mine. Before we had the sweets, we did share a croissant bacon egg cheese sandwich. Ngl, I was pleasantly surprised. Microwaved crispy bacon and melted cheese and it was a pretty tasty breakfast sandwich was for a donut shop. I'd drive across town again for more when I get another fix and donut what to eat for breakfast

I think the problem is that I couldn't get past the lack of a restroom in the area. They had some portables, but they are making food and we are supposed to eat it. Where are they washing their hands? This area is also pretty cold so if you go, make sure that you have a coat, scarf and hat. I'll never make that mistake again. But because of the cold, I didn't want to eat outside so our food got a cold, but it was good. My husband liked the food he got, but gluten free options are super limited. They get a third star because of the bar! Now there was only one person working there and that's fine because he could go get a snack or something and come back to pour drinks, but again. The restroom issue. Where does he wash his hands, what if he has a cold and sneezes into them, and so on. That's where my mind went. The vendors are quite nice and were helpful and weren't mean when they answered my GF questions and I appreciate that. So, this is like the little engine that could. I can see that it is a gathering spot for people and they have music and speakers which is cool. So I saw and felt a community vibe and people really seemed to like going. If I lived in the area, I may try it a bit more, but in all honestly, Oakland Museum's Off the Grid event is everything I wish this was. I'm sure that they will get there, but don't want to hang out while they figure it out.
