Sadly prices up, now a donut is $4... Black sesame was good, though, chewy and not greasy, better than last time I tried. Service was quick and they gave an extra paper to make sure you didn't get too sticky while eating it.

This was the first place I ever had a Mochi Donut. They offer 6 or 7 flavors, and now they also have Doriyaki Pancakes and Mochi Waffles on stick. Everything is made fresh/day of. So when they run out, they close shop. Try to get here early on a weekday. Weekends are a bit tricky.

Vanilla sugar, strawberry cream and yuzu

I thought this was the same place as the Mochi donut place in Hmart, apparently it is not. The flavors were good but it's a MOCHI donut so it should have a chewy texture, that's the only reason I like these donuts, I not like normal donuts. These weren't chewy at all, thumbs down. I'll stick to Mochinut at Hmart.

Absolutely delicious, unique, light, great texture and amazing flavors. Unfortunately, a lot of flavors sold out by the time I purchased (2pm on a Monday). Ordered the matcha, Yuzu citrus, strawberry and cream and cinnamon sugar. Matcha and Yuzu were the winners! Cinnamon sugar I would skip because nothing is unique about it. Good but cannot compete against the other flavors. Buy 5 donuts and get the 6th free for about $30. Highly recommend picking up some donuts when you stop at Mitsuwa. If it's winter time, buy donuts first and leave it in your car then go back to grocery shop. These donuts sell out way too fast!

Walked past after hours and saw the sign that stated they are open until they run out. Knew that I needed to come back as I'm a sucker for stores with limited quantities. So I came back the next morning! Get there early as they sometimes open early. They took down the closed sign 15 minutes early and I was first in line. Immediately there were 8-10 people behind me. So be prepared to wait. Current offer is buy 5 and get 1 free. Pretty good for these little beauties. The donuts are soft and chewy with a light glaze/flavor on top - a nice balance. There's ~8 choices so you can easily try them all. My faves: Matcha and black sesame are subtle and unique flavors. Yuzu is a bright burst of citrus. Less keen on: Oreo doesn't stand out at all. Strawberry is an extremely light flavor and raspberry is a bit fake (admittedly, I rarely like fruit flavors).

When we first walked up, there was a huge crowd and not many donuts left so we looped around Mitsuwa and came back. We got back right in time for a fresh new batch! They had a buy 5, get 1 free deal so we got a half dozen with all of the flavors (Oreo, dark chocolate, pumpkin, black sesame, strawberry, and matcha). The donuts were SUPER chewy and delicious. They definitely seemed more chewy than the other mochi donut places I've tried. I love how the donuts are pull-apart so it made it really easy to share with my friends. My favorite ones were the Oreo, black sesame, and pumpkin! Overall, we had a really good experience, and this is my fave mochi donut place so far!

Mochimochi is a mochi donut place located within Mitsuwa. They have a variety of flavors and there is a deal if you buy 6 donuts at once (6 donuts for $18). This place is quite popular and they will close once they finish selling out the mochi donuts for the day, so definitely pick it up earlier when you get to Mitsuwa. My personal favorite is black sesame flavor - if you are a fan of black sesame definitely give it a try! Also - the texture of their mochi donuts is one of the best I've had in the states. Their donut also do not have any oil flavor in it so I would like to call that part out.

I am so sad that mitsuwa is so far from the city, but also kinda glad it is or else id be getting mochi donuts every day. These are literally the best mochi donuts I've ever had in my entire life. I live in Chinatown and the options I have around me are not comparable to mochimochi. Super light, yet so chewy, like extremely and doesn't feel greasy at all. Often times mochi donuts can feel super oily because it soaks up so much of the oil when they fry it, but not mochimochi's donuts! They're also so pretty! I can't wait for the next time I can get my hands on them!

Finally got to try this new dessert trend! It tasted exactly what I expected when you fuse a donut and Mochi. Moist and chewy - perfect texture. This place had a rotating flavors so it's different everyday. The Ube and Black Sesame were scrumptious!

Half dozen
Spencer Y.

Not all mochi donuts are made equal, and Kai Sweets is an example of that. Their donuts are superb compared to others I've tried. They have the texture down perfectly and they have various flavors from black sesame, oreo, matcha, strawberry, and vanilla. My personal favorites in order are Oreo, strawberry then matcha. I'm a sucker for Mochi donuts and Kai Sweets always satisfies my fix.

Located inside the Mitsuwa Food Court, this place is pretty good for mochi doughnuts. I bought half a dozen for $18 to go: yuzu, black sesame, strawberry, matcha, oreo and ube. I didn't consume them until 2-3 hours after and one the next day, they're all still bouncy and most importantly "not too sweet". It doesn't taste as dense as a regular American yeast or cake donut, the flavors are not over powering either. I'd definitely recommend this as a dessert, light breakfast or snack!

This is the best mochi donut store a that I've been to so far. It's very airy and light, doesn't have a heavy oil flavor. My favorite flavor is probably sesame or grapefruit. They only make a set amount everyday. If you don't arrive by probably 3 pm, there's a very high possibility that it's sold out.

Chocolate, caramel almond, black sesame, matcha, yuzu
Thy L.

Light, chewy, flavorful, and not greasy even the next day! Black sesame had perfect amount of flavor, is most popular and delish, caramel almond was unique and sweet, matcha and yuzu had good flavor as expected. Service was fast and courteous, would definitely go back to try other flavors. If I lived closer, I'd become a regular!

There are several locations across the city, but a local friend recommended this for their food and proximity to the American Museum of History. Because it is incredibly popular, the cafe was very crowded, and the counter-service line stretched straight down the middle of the shop. It was quite difficult to find an indoor table that could accommodate our party of four, so we grabbed some of the outdoor seating instead. While the venue was bustling and the service was understandably a little on the slower side due to the heavy crowd, we still had a wonderful experience and highly recommend stopping by.

I'm talking about an establishment that makes high-quality gourmet treats. As you can imagine, I was thrilled to see this one opening in the neighborhood last year. I have been to Caroline's several times since it opened its doors to the public. I've tried a few of their items, including the glazed twist, Boston creme, coffee donut, and strawberry filled. The glaze twist is one of my favorites. It's wonderfully sweet while not cloying, and I especially enjoy topping it with the Bon Mama berry jam I have at home. The Boston creme is truly made with love. It's sufficiently stuffed with creme and topped with a thick layer of chocolate ganache - the expensive stuff! The coffee donut is also delicious. Of everything I've tried, the strawberry filled was my favorite. You can tell their strawberry compote is homemade and not too sweet. The dough is light and fluffy and generously coated with granulated sugar. What a treat!

Sadly matcha cookies were all gone when I arrived after 1pm, but it gave me a valid reason to go back for more! * Pumpkin Spice Cookie With each bite, there was a symphony of flavors bursting in my mouth--the earthy notes of pumpkin, followed by the warmth of spices, and the smoothness of frosting and crunchiness on top.

Sometimes he's the only one working while another customer is being helped, but he still manages to get the job done, be helpful, and make sure customers have a great experience. He's personable, attentive, and genuinely makes you feel welcome. It's not every day you come across someone who can make you laugh while providing excellent customer service! During our brief conversation, he recommended the crème brûlée donut and the new chocolate banana donut, and let me tell you, the chocolate banana donut was DELICIOUS! I appreciate his recommendations and the way he makes the experience about more than just buying donuts. People like him make a difference in a business. His personality, customer service, and positive attitude are truly memorable. Donut Plant, if you're reading this, give this man his flowers!
