Was happy to hear that Mochinut came to Austin, and I finally got to check it out. It looked like they had just finished an event when we arrived, so the selection was a little limited, but they still had a few tasty options available. I'm not sure whether they rotate flavors or offer more choices on other days, but the menu also includes corn dogs and drinks, which is a nice bonus. The interior is cute, with a few tables and chairs that make it a comfortable spot to stop in. Service was friendly and welcoming, which made the visit even better. The donuts are especially fun to eat because they can easily be separated into individual pieces, kind of like donut holes, so they're great for sharing or enjoying on your own. My go to for my donut craving.

I stopped by for an event since I've always wanted to try this store. The place is clean, organized and cute. I just don't like the fact that the drinks cannot be modified for the sugar level "because they are pre-made" as per the staff, so that for me makes it hard to want to come back. Donuts are delicious and the decoration/glazing, is stunning.

I love mochi donuts because they always feel much lighter than regular donuts, and these did not disappoint. They're not overly sweet, which I really appreciate, and the chewy texture makes them so satisfying to eat. I also love bringing them to parties since they're easy to share and everyone tends to enjoy them. The space itself is super cute and inviting. I haven't tried their drinks yet, but I definitely want to next time. Overall, a great spot for a fun, lighter dessert treat!

Matcha donut

Stopped in for an event at the store and decided to pick up a donut to try. I got the matcha flavor. The donut was soft and bouncy, the perfect texture for a mochi donut. However, I got absolutely zero matcha flavor from the glaze. I would recommend trying a different flavor.

I saw this Mochinut location opened up, so I went to check it out. I thought it was brand new, but I can see reviews going back a few months, so now I am confused why it looked like they had just moved into the shop. There were boxes just sitting out on the floor, and the decorations were incomplete. They had run out of tapioca, but it was 8pm, and they're a new shop (or so I thought at the time), so I get it. The AC was so cold inside that we were too cold to sit down and just paced around. The boba types they had looked really good on their poster. I got the ube boba because I normally love ube boba, and most boba shops around here don't have it. I asked the employee if they make it on site, and she said yes, but then I asked if it was premade, and she also said yes. I was really confused. She gave me a cute plastic can of boba, so I'm pretty sure I just paid $6 for an ube drink without tapioca. It was way too sweet for me, and I normally really like sweet drinks. She said they can't change the sweetness as it is premade. I feel like they could have a less sweet premade drink and subsequently add sweetener to it as needed. I got a massive stomachache. My friend got the half mozzarella half potato Korean corn dog. He said he liked it, but he didn't seem very enthused by it. They also have one of those ripoff cup ramen bars that charge a bunch of money for the ramen cups you can buy for less than $1 at the store.

THE BIG: Located in the Linc in central Austin right off of I35. Big space with a sweet smell of mochi donuts. Plenty of parking in the parking lot, however it does get full fast. THE BLACK AND WHITE: The original one is on Parmer lane inside the Hana grocery store. I typically grab the regular hitters like the Ube, yuzu and yogurt. however they have some really interesting flavors like the pistachio, fruity pebbles, and banana milk. Some other good ones are the mango and black sesame. The donuts are shaped so you know it's a mochidonut. Each donut can be ripped into smaller donut holes and has a beautiful bounce to their chew. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall, for a 3-piece box of donuts the damage was around $9. Each donut is priced differently though, so your mileage may vary. Very good and I'm glad there's a solid mochi donut spot near me.

For those that don't know what Mochinut is it is a cafe that serves desserts in the form of mochi donuts, snacks such as Korean hot dogs and ramen, and boba drinks. We went on a Friday night and had a mochinut! A mochinut is a donut made of mochi (usually combo of rice/water/sugar/cornstarch) - so the donut is crispy on the outside but chewy on the outside. It is not as sweet as a Krispy Kreme donut and not overly yeast/dense like a Round Rock donut. The flavors we tried were the chocolate pistachio, raspberry powdered sugar, and Ube. I enjoyed the donuts as they weren't overly sweet and heavy, but still filling and sweet enough to satisfy sweet tooth. They also had Korean hot dogs, which are basically corn dogs stuffed/filled with different things (hot dogs, potatoes, or mozzarella). They also sell Korean instant ramen where you can add your own toppings. The shop itself is so cute bright purple! And had seating enough for 14 people and couple of tables outside. There was only one person taking orders and making things when we went, but she was fast and efficient. Parking is free and plentiful.

Mochinut is a great addition to The Linc. Korean style donuts, really delicious. I got the mochi donut and a cream donut. Both unique and very tasty. The place inside is clean and welcoming. I enjoyed my experience here!

Strawberry and churro donuts
Mira D.

We went here because they were giving away free donuts if you had your 'I voted' sticker. Honestly, I had never heard about this place so I'm glad they were part of the promotion or I would have never known about it. I think it may be new. It was super cute inside. The ambiance was very pink and girly and they have an artsy mural on the wall that you can take a picture next to. I think this is local because I'm pretty sure the person that checked us out was the owner. he was really nice and friendly. The donuts of course were very tasty. They were fluffy and not too sweet which I really liked. Some donut places can be overpowering but this one had it just right. I will definitely come here again. It's a cute little dessert spot!

Ask the cashier what's hot and fresh, cuz those tend to be the best! We got their simple glaze mochi donut and it was just the right sweetness (not too much) and great texture!

The opportunity to come to Mochinut finally came in the form of a promotion where you can get a free donut for showing your "I voted" sticker. The donuts were so good! Not too sweet and their respective flavors really shined through. The shape of the donuts make it so easy to break apart if you're not feeling like eating the whole thing. And they keep so well in the fridge. I really want to try some of their filled donuts next time!

Matcha strawberry w/o boba and ube milk tea w/ boba
Elizabeth H.

First time going to Mochinut and it did not disappoint! We tried the bacon milk tea, churro, and funnel cake mochinuts. All three had really good strong flavors and texture. The milk tea flavor was good, but I personally felt the bacon bits took away from it. We also ordered the ube milk tea and matcha strawberry drink. Both were good, and as a matcha lover I appreciated the strong matcha flavor. Service was good, and the store itself was spacious with ample tables to sit at. My only complaints were that the tables and floor were kind of dirty. We had come in during a rainstorm and there were no rugs to dry our shoes on so the tiles were muddy and slippery.

Selection of the day

It was my first time getting some mochi donuts. The ladies were super helpful explaining them to me and handling my order. The spot is clean and spacious. Makes for a cute date night desert spot, or a weekend hang out. Parking is plentiful and free. I walked out with 3 mochinuts: milk tea (for the boba lover in me), mango lychee (big lychee fan), and strawberry funnel cake (for my family). All are very sweet so eating 3 in one sitting is not ideal. This could be an acquired taste - half my family didn't like it. But if you're a mochi fan like me, you'll appreciate it. I say come on by and give these a taste!

If a walking talking donut existed, you likely would not find it at Gourdough's food trailer…read more However, they do have some mutant large and incredibly creative sweet and savory donuts. The hubs and I decided to split the Big Elvis donut with house made peanut butter icing, fresh grilled bananas, grilled bacon and honey). What is not to like about this combination of ingredients? This savory donut's base was Gourdough's (play on words) signature sourdough donut and then layered with each of the ingredients. The layering of ingredients and flavors created a 5-alarm palate explosion. The donut was delicious...better and better with each bite. Wow, wow, wow! Crunch...flavor...smokiness...crunch...flavor...smokiness! We have not had a donut quite like this one. Maria, our donut chef, boldly told us that it was going to be best donut we had ever eaten. Such a bold claim...however, Maria came with "receipts". Total donut nirvana... Gourdough's is in a food truck park with ample seating outside and a few of cushioned love seats. Superb experience...

Crazy novelty donuts!!…read more This place has over the top donuts that still taste good! Unlike some of the other Austin donut locations like VooDoo or The Salty, I feel like Gourdoughs is at the intersection between unique style and good taste. I enjoyed both, but def preferred the Naughty or Nice! I will say the Gummy snake on the baby rattler was a little dry. It is a food trailer, but they do have seating outside. They have Christmas lights which are very pretty, but I went at night in mid October so I wasn't facing the brutal Texas heat. They have really good hours, perfect for a late night snack. The workers were quick with our food. They call it out and you go pick it up from the trailer. I will say it looked mostly like paid parking, but we risked it & didn't pay as we were probably there for less than 30 minutes.

One of our favorite post-pool summer treats! The kids especially enjoy the Violet Crown and Brown…read moreSugar Milk Tea soft serve, which they wish were a full time menu item. But perhaps best of all in their eyes--the icy cold patio self-serve water. "No one else gets their water so cold! " Will be back often and recommend to friends!

First time checking this place out last weekend. A couple things that immediately put us off had to…read moredo with sanitation. Their patio area was FILTHY: tables with dirt and crumbs, napkins on the floor, grime. It was just gross. Then, in the very small space inside where you order, somebody brought in a massive slobbering dog (NOT a service dog) and the staff were completely blasé about it. So not so much into health codes here apparently. We each ordered a taiyaki, and also got 3 macarons and 2 donuts. The ube macaron had great flavor but was completely stale, so it sucks that they are serving old food. The vanilla-passionfruit and yuzu were much better (and fresher). As for the chocolate donut, we liked the flavor but we're not the biggest fans of mochi because something the texture makes it feel like you're eating something raw. Same issue with the pumpkin donut. We do have to say that the taiyakis were awesome. We had recently tried SomiSomi and these ones were definitely better. The "fish" has a great balance of chew and crisp, and we loved the consistency of the soft serve. One of us got the pumpkin and it had such a pleasant light flavor to it that wasn't cloying or artificial. So good. One of us had to get ube and black sesame in a cup because you couldn't swirl them and both flavors were delicious, as was the unique red bean paste (which we fell for when we were in Japan this past summer). If not for the sanitary conditions and semi-catatonic workers, this would be four stars. We can see ourselves coming back again at some point, and hopefully they can train their staff to clean up, smile, and not let customers bring filthy animals into a confined space. Three stars for now.
