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

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.

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!

Super fast and delicious! There was a line but she got through fast and they had plenty of flavors! I will say the floor was wet so it was very slippery but it was raining so it is inevitable.

Nutella, Tiramisu, Strawberry Cheesecake, Coconut Taro, Churro and Funnel Cake. All flavors are delicious!

It's a very popular place here and some donuts were out of stock for the day despite coming here not all that late in the day. I got two donuts. I got the Glazed Donut and the Brown Sugar with Salt. The Glazed one was all right at first as the tingling of salt mingled with the sweetness and it definitely came across as a novelty but by the end of the Glazed my enthusiasm diminished a bit as that was all it felt like I was tasting but salt. I don't think that was entirely it but that's all my taste buds were picking up. But now the Brown Sugar and Salt Donut... now that was a good one! The flavors blended much better and I had more than enough enthusiasm to finish it. I do like Brown Sugar very much so this was a Donut I can definitely recommend if you come here. I wanted another but I controlled myself. They have coffee drinks as well that are solid so they make a nice pairing as you nosh on your donuts and want some coffee to go along with it.

I prefer the mini but they're sold out a lot which shows you how spectacular this place is. My go to is the nutty valentine. The donut is always warm, fresh, and crispy. And the toppings of Nutella, cinnamon, and strawberries adds dimension & the perfect story. There is plenty of patio seating and lots of parking outside. There can be a line on the weekends and they tend to sell out so keep that in mind. The staff is friendly and service is quick!

Cool spot to check out in downtown Austin! The vibe hits you right when you walk in -- they've got…read morethis huge neon American flag that instantly sets the mood. Definitely a fun atmosphere. The donuts themselves were a bit of a letdown, though. Ours were a little stale -- now, in fairness, we did roll in later in the afternoon, so that might've played a part. But here's the thing: I'm a HUGE donut person. I can eat a donut basically any time of day, no matter how long it's been sitting out. So for them to fall a little flat, especially at the prices they're charging, I was expecting a bit more. That said, it was a nice place to sit and take a break while we were wandering around downtown. Would I make it a regular stop? Probably not -- but if you're on vacation and want to check it out for the experience, it's worth a peek.

Why am I going to one in Austin? Well, it's because I am a completeist and I try to go to as many Voodoo Doughnut locations as I can. Austin has two locations but Steve was only willing to tolerate going to one location so we went here. The doughnuts are going to be about the same as any other location however I did come across one that I haven't seen before. I am not sure if it was limited edition or what but I liked it. It was kind of take on a Black Forest Cake but it wasn't cherries that were on top of the doughnut and cream. It was more like blueberries. It was good and I am glad I tried it! I was really hoping to see the Ring of Fire Doughnut as it's my favorite but I didn't see it here. I got more of a powdered doughnut too as I do like their more basic doughnuts too. Steve got something that almost was like a Dubai-esque Chocolate Doughnut. It had pistachios on it and was a chocolate cake. That one was good too! Atmosphere is weird and quirky like all of their locations try to be which I can appreciate. So if you are addicted to Voodoo Doughnuts or have been wanting to try them but don't plan any PNW trips then definitely swing by the Texas locations. More and more locations are popping up all of the time!
