Hot Cheetos Tornado Potato
Leslye D.

Staff was friendly. The inside was clean and had great options for sauces. I was disappointed in the hot Cheeto potato twist it wasn't crunchy enough and had barely enough flavor so I barely ate any of it. The corn dog half mozzarella cheese was better but nothing over the top for me.

Love being able to get our Korean dog cravings within arms reach. The dog is juicy and the potato batter is nice and crispy (our fave).

My grandson wanted to try one of the specialties of the business and we did on his birthday. Wonderful presentation and quite tasty...teen approved. Also brought home some of their donuts home which didn't last long. One of the favorites was the mango.

After my friend and I had lunch in the area, we decided to stop by here to get our Milk Tea fixings. The shop is cute and small, and they have all their mochi donuts on display. For me, I chose three of them, as well as a milk tea option. Raspberry Funnel Cake: This is the only one I personally tried and I will say it was quite delicious. It was not overly sweet or overpowering with sugar. There was enough of the sauce to not make it dry and the donut itself was not hard. Just a little bit in the microwave was perfect for me. Horchata Milk Tea: No adjustment on the sugar, since all the drinks are pre-made. At $5, you pay for what you get. Honestly, it was not bad. It had the taste of horchata for sure, so I appreciated that. Otherwise, it was nothing special for me. Overall, I can see myself coming back here again

Slightly surprised to see something cool and trendy in little Pinole! But hey actually there are some yummy gems in this town and this is one of them. I tried a half and half potato and ramen hot dog. I liked the potato one more for the crispness. Ramen had definite crunch but it's naturally more dense, the potato one is like eating a hot dog covered in French fries. Gifted my donut away but it looked delish.

Need I say more?

Friendly service, delicious mochi donuts! They confirm they are Gluten-Free (GF) but watch out for the toppings, which may not be GF.

Food was amazing. They had tonhulu! My kid was super stoked to try, but it was too cold and frozen for his taste. The donuts were pretty bomb

Mochi donuts , matcha and chocolate funnel cake.

Amazing options amazing price. Calm atmosphere. Many places don't do matcha desserts well but the matcha donut was amazing. We also got Korean corndogs with phenomenal cheese pulls!

Almost would out!  Yummmmm

If you haven't tried the mochi donuts from this cute little gem in Hercules, you're missing out! Nestled in a cozy strip mall across the street from Trader Joe's, this spot has an inviting vibe, a clean and cheerful setup, and an ever-changing menu of deliciously unique donuts every week. And don't get me started on the Korean hotdogs WOW!!!! Their donuts are next-level--crispy on the outside, soft and chewy inside, with flavors that make you want to try them all in one sitting (trust me, it's hard to resist)! And just in time for Christmas, they're open for pre-orders. Perfect for sharing... or not. Check out their Instagram, give them a call, or better yet, head down there and see what all the hype is about. Just be warned: they're so good, you might forget to take a picture before diving in. #MochiDonuts #FoodieFinds #HerculesEats #SupportLocal #DonutLover #SweetToothSatisfaction

Potato Half & Half Rice Hotdog and Blue Takis Mozzarella Rice Hotdog
Sanilie F.

I came here with my niece for a quick lunch treat. She really likes this place and wanted to go here. She ordered the blue takis whole mozzarella and horchata drink. I had the potato half and half and strawberry drink. It was okay. I enjoyed the mozzarella side of the corndog more than the other half with the sausage. My niece really enjoys this place. Service was great. The lady at the counter was very friendly and welcoming.

Mango, Ube Churro, Raspberry Funnel Cake, Glazed - they added a couple extra since we were the last customers of the night :)

Sooo many options for sweet treats in our part of West Contra Costa County, and the newest addition is Mochinut in Pinole. My husband and I just had dinner across the street at the pho spot and took a chance to see if they might still be open after their normal closing time. Luckily they were gracious enough to sell us some yummy donuts and the owner even added a couple extra, which was so nice of her! We've had mochi donuts from SF Japantown, Berkeley, Oakland, Concord, Santa Clara, and even a small independent baker in Hercules, so we're no strangers to this dessert. Even at the end of the day (and next day) the donuts were soft and chewy. The toppings weren't overly sweet, and I could've used more cinnamon sugar on the churro ones. Overall, I'm glad this is a nearby option so we don't have to travel to get our mochi donut fix.

Love this place! - Really good donuts! They're extremely cute too. Love that they have rotating flavors. - The rice dogs were SO GOOD! I'd recommend eating them ASAP while they're hot. - The ades are yummy and presented really well. I love the sturdy can-type containers they come in. - The staff is friendly, which is a huge plus! Excited there's a place like this in the neighborhood now. Looking forward to coming back!

I love Mochinut already, tried it for the first time in Vacaville. I was so excited when I saw they opened one in Pinole. It's small inside, but cute. There's three tables inside, two 2 tops and a four top. My go to is the half and half potato dog rolled in hot Cheetos or the whole mozzarella rolled in sugar! That day I got a three pack of doughnuts. We got strawberry, churro, and milky fruity pebbles. All very good! Boba is also very tasty :)

I first tried this spot during a Cars & Coffee meetup, but all I ordered was a hot oat chai, and it…read morewas delicious. So on my way home from boxing one day, I remembered this place had donuts. Don't judge. I had just finished boxing, so clearly I deserved not only my hot oat chai but also donuts. It's called balance, right?! I grabbed a regular glazed, chocolate glazed, two plain old fashioned, and a dozen donut holes. To my delight, the donuts were delicious! I'm particular about my plain old fashioned and plain buttermilk donuts since they are my absolute favs. Unfortunately, they didn't have buttermilk that day, but the old fashioned absolutely delivered. I love when the edges and all those little nooks are crunchy while the inside stays soft and cake-like, and these fulfilled that criteria perfectly. My husband thoroughly enjoyed both the regular and chocolate glazed, enough that we decided to come back a couple weeks later. This time, somehow an apple fritter jumped into the bag. No idea how that happened. LOL The hubby was extremely happy with that addition, so clearly the apple fritter made the right decision. Great donuts and great coffee/hot chai, but what gives Cafe Tapioca that little something extra are the ladies working here. They're welcoming, friendly, and easy to have a conversation with. It gives the place that warm mom-and-pop feel that I really appreciate. Love supporting these types of spots. And apparently I now have somewhere to conveniently undo whatever I just accomplished at boxing.

I really enjoy their Egg Bahn-Mi. It's my favorite. I can't get enough of it. I love the sweetness…read moreof the pickled vegetables and the creaminess of the egg combined with the mayo. Every bite is hearty and it's truly a "healthy" packed portion sandwich - they do not skimp on ingredients, it's well worth the price and you will be satisfied after you consume it! I've also recently had their Vietnamese coffee which is well worth the sweetness, caffeine and calories. I have also had smoothies and a vanilla latte from time to time. Customer service is always exceptional (even when it's busy!) and the funnest part is they sell LOTTO tickets at the counter or by the machine. It's clean, there's a good variety of drinks, donuts and sandwiches to order for brekkie to lunch or anytime- it's Great spot. I highly recommend this spot.

I have been a customer here for several years and it's my first time trying their dinner menu…read more This use to be my go to place for coffee but the coffee has become more bland so I don't come here as often, it's still a decent coffee shop and would recommend to the locals. What impressed me about their dinner menu is the drinks, very strong and delicious. The food was okay... we ordered a burger with fries and wings. The meat was cooked medium rare, if you don't like it cooked that way make sure you let them know. I really enjoyed the wings, they were well seasoned and give a decent portion. They also charge for extra ketchup which I've never experienced, understandable if it was ranch or some other special sauce but it wasn't. All the servers were polite, attentive and the place was clean and felt welcoming. They have a bar that I'll probably go to next time just for the drinks. I recommend to order their hazelnut espresso martini and the madre mía both drinks were amazing!
