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.

Milk tea with boba
Doan T.

Finally have mochi donuts near home and a good boba place that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. We ordered milk tea with boba and a Nutella donut. The drink size was perfect. It wasn't gigantic like other places. The milk tea tasted creamy, and yummy. The donut has the right amount of chewiness. During our visit, my daughter spilled a little and the girl was really nice about it. She offered paper towels to help clean up. The place has a few tables for sitting and hanging out while drinking, if needed. We have tried so many different boba places in the area but wasn't happy because of all the crazy flavors but this place really fits out preference in size and taste. I'd return for sure!

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).

3 Pieces Donuts: Nutella, Raspberry Funnel Cake, Guava

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!

Had the worst experience here yesterday. It took 30 minutes to get two donuts. That is only after…read morebeing ignored for 10-15minutes, standing in line while online orders were being processed. There were three staff members in total (thin build, Latino male), medium build Filipino female with glasses, and a thin build Asian female). The male was working on an in person order when I walked in, seven to ten minutes later the same woman was standing around waiting for parts of her order - no other in person customer was being assisted. A young woman, who had placed an online order for two coffee drinks asked repeatedly if anyone was going to make her drink order. It took two staff members - Asian female, Latino male) - to help figure it out, each debating who was going to make it. The Filipino female kept coming from the back to bring sandwich items to seated waiting customers. The male continued to look at online orders before helping the family of three in front of me. When their order was finalized, the male walked away from the register and proceeded to look at the online orders. He said nothing to the line, did not acknowledge our presence. He went to the back to make a sandwich - again two staff members working on one thing (Filipino female, Latino male) while in person customers stood and waited. The Filipino female asked what him what was in the bag while standing at the front of the store. The other Asian female was still working on the coffee drinks from the online order from when I first walked in. After about ten minutes of being walked by and disregarded, while waiting to be acknowledged, I asked is anyone going to take our orders at the counter? The male replied, "Yes, but we have a lot of online orders and we'll get to you shortly." So online orders take precedent over those waiting in store to purchase? If this is the case, then why are there only three staff members who are clearly not organized nor serve in the capacity of enough staff to assist customers online and in person? If I had not asked about being helped, no telling how long staff would had continued to ignore us. The Filipino female walked over, asked how my day was and asked what she could get me. After each donut selection shared, anything else?... She was being passive aggressive in her tone and with her words. As I was waiting to select my receipt options, she saiid, "All of that for two donuts" to the male. Who both went into the back while the rest of the building line waited. When I finished my receipt selection and entering my phone number, the father and son behind me were still waiting without any assistance or staff acknowledgement.. If I had not promised my daughter a donut prior to order road trip, I would have left long before. Worse service as it was nonexistent to those in person. There were three staff, two were doing staff and the third at the front was nonexistent. Do better Dynamite, your customer service was absent yesterday, staff not at all prepared or organized and your store is not staffed to assist both online and in person without neglecting in person. Communication was nonexistent as well, leaving customers standing in line without a single word or thought of returning any time soon. Online orders, you'll be waiting too. There were three people who walked in, going directly the register with a phone in their hands. They were waiting two for the pickup while the young lady wanted her coffees made. The ambiance here...people were upset across the board. I would rather drive to Pinole and get service, Dynamite donuts are not worth that wait or nonexistent level of service.

So much bacon goodness packed into every bite. My husband got a little cinnamon roll topped with walnuts and if you are a nut person, do yourself a favor and get one because it was absolutely delicious. We also ordered two iced coffees and the flavor blew us away. You could actually taste the coffee, which sounds like a low bar but you know how it goes. I added a little sugar-free vanilla syrup and it complemented everything perfectly without overpowering that wonderful coffee flavor. The person taking our order was so nice answering all of our questions. It's a small quaint little place to have a few tables out front too. We took our goodies and drove to the end of the block to eat at a little park overlooking San Pablo Bay. Honestly the whole morning felt like such a find. We are already talking about coming back to try more things on the menu. One more thing worth mentioning: it looks like they do custom cakes too, and that is going straight onto my list for the next family celebration. This place is the real deal.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

To see how much Michelle has upgraded and transformed the Buisness over the years is inspiring! It's like night and day seeing how it used to look inside compared to now. The remodel and constant upgrades that have been made show that the owner reinvests heavily in the customers experience and that alone deserves a 5 star review. Me and my family will always support this amazing small Buisness.
