I ended up ordering the spicy bulgogi salad. After ordering, you are given a "buzzer" and can sit at any open table to wait. It didn't take too long for my food to be ready... Maybe 10-15 minutes. All the veggies (romaine, carrots, corn & cukes) in my salad were crisp and the beef was flavorful and perfectly cooked with a nice spice/heat. I ate my whole salad and was happily satisfied. I wanted to order a cute and yummy looking jiggly bear dessert, but I was too full and didn't know how it would travel the 1hr plus drive back home. Maybe next time I visit, I will only eat half my meal to save room for dessert.

I do think they are a bit expensive here for what you get as well.

This time around, I only came to give the donuts a try. This location is really cute and fun, lots of seating! The service was quick and attentive as well. First the positive: I loved the texture of the donuts. Rice flour-based desserts have a chewier texture that I find really good, and the donuts here were no exception to that. They held up well over the two days after I bought them, which is a plus. Where they fell flat was, unfortunately, with the flavor. I got three different kinds (strawberry cheesecake, white chocolate raspberry, and taro), and they all tasted the same. Just vaguely sweet and sugary, which isn't a bad thing. I was just expecting a lot more in terms of flavor considering the price point. I might give Mochinut a shot again in the future for their donuts, but I definitely want to come back for a Korean corn dog and a boba tea. I think the concept here is really unique, and it's nice to have a different option for treats!

The Korean corndogs here are delicious, and they always have a good variety of boba drinks and donuts. The inside is not very big with just a few chairs, but the parking is ample. The wait can get pretty long here as it is close to the University, hotel, and is a popular area, but it's usually worth the wait! If you get a Korean corndog, make sure to get the sweet chili sauce to go with it, it is the best!

The…read moreatmosphere is beautiful, modern, and has a luxurious feel that makes it a great place to unwind. During this visit, I ordered a hot pistachio latte, a small iced caramel latte with cold foam, and a slice of tiramisu. The presentation was beautiful, but the food and drinks didn't quite live up to the appearance. The iced caramel latte tasted a bit watery, which has been my experience on more than one visit, and the hot pistachio latte was just okay. The biggest disappointment was the tiramisu. It was overly soaked in coffee, didn't taste very fresh, and wasn't what I expected. One thing I really appreciated was the service. The cashier was incredibly kind and accommodating. Since I'm currently pregnant and can only have decaf coffee, she made sure my order was clearly communicated to the team, which I was very grateful for. The café itself is aesthetically beautiful, although we did have to wipe down our table because there were crumbs left from the previous guests. The seating is nice, but the chairs could be more comfortable if you plan to stay for an extended period. My only other suggestion would be to improve customer engagement at the register. On a few visits, it has felt like employees finished conversations with coworkers before helping customers. Overall, I enjoy coming to Layali because the ambiance is one of the best in Rochester. While I think the coffee and desserts could be more consistent, I'd still return to enjoy the atmosphere and give more of the menu a try.
