Soga Mochi Donut - MOCHI DONUTS - Donuts Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

I really love these donuts. I am so happy we don't live too close or I would be here almost every day and that isn't good for my diet. But we do stop in at least every other month. Now you order at the kiosk machine and select your donuts. They will put them on the counter with your number when they are ready. Grab a beverage in the store and eat them warm in your car. You will need napkins. Warning - you may become addicted to these little pillows of heaven. read more

One of the best donuts! For real, it's located in a grocery store but omg are they good. Go inside. They are by the produce, you will hear the music. Place the order using the kiosk and you will get a receipt and order number. Wait for your number because they are making it. They are warm and excellent. read more

Soga Mochi Donut - Donuts Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

I was ecstatic when our first mochi donut place opened in Minnesota!! I initially questioned it being in Dragon Star but now I realize how convenient it is for me! Even after several other mochi donut places popped up in MN, Soga is still my fav. You have the ability to order online and select your time to pick it up.. and when you get there, they are still warm and delicious!! Mochi donuts are a little crispier on the outside and softer/chewier in the inside compared to a normal donut. They are definitely the best eaten fresh. I wanted to introduce people at my workplace to mochi donuts. Almost 500 ordered and devoured in one day. It was a hit! My personal favorite is the kinako almond one (I love almond things) The roasted soybean flour does give it a different texture but the almond slices give it the extra crunch to make it even better. My second fav is strawberry, it's a more tart strawberry. My kids love the matcha (to me tastes like white chocolate with a very tiny matcha taste) and the Fruity Pebble one. read more

WOW! AMAZING! DELICIOUS! TASTY! ok now that I've gotten all of that out of the way haha This is an absolute must try!! They are located inside an Asian super market which is a ton of fun to shop in! The market alone is worth the trip but these mochi doughnuts will have you begging for more! They are so light and airy! Very delicious! They have many flavors and something for pretty much everyone! I really enjoyed the strawberry, circus cookie and fruity pebbles flavors, but they were all tasty! There is plenty of parking and you order from a kiosk so there really isn't service. But your order is made hot and fresh! Definitely give this place a try! They were also the first in the state to sell mochi doughnuts! So cool :) read more

Love the new addition for donuts in the Dragon Star market. These donuts have a lovely light crunch on the outside and a chewy delectable inside. Follow the stand's social media, as the four week flavors change on Mondays. The flavors pictured are taro, fruity pebbles, lime, and toasted coconut. Out of these, my fave was the lime, it just had a light bright flavor. There are so many other flavors I want to go back for. I've seen pistachio and matcha that both look very good as well. Lines can be long at peak times, but the wait to get your items after placing an order is fairly quick. You can always wander the market while you wait! read more

Soga Mochi Donut - Taro, Fruity Pebble, Lime, Toasted Coconut - Donuts Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

So let me tell you I knew I was going to try something new....something trending and I was pretty sure it would taste good but was I expecting the greatness that came from these donuts!? No, I definitely did not expect to like them the way I do after trying every flavor! The chewy softness is what I always wanted in a donut without it tasting doughy. I loved all the donuts For me I could eat the strawberry ( the strawberry has a tartness that reminds me of the strawberries from the Special K cereal) and toasted coconut all day long. My teenager loved the Taro and matcha My 6 and 2 yr old really enjoyed the original and churro donuts. The black sesame latte is like nothing I've ever tried. I did really like it but it is a drink I would have to be in a mood for because of the prominent sesame seed flavor. Over all my experience was a great one and the donuts were well worth it! read more

Mochi donuts have been all over my social media for awhile and I am so excited that they are finally in Minnesota! Located inside Dragon Star, these mochi donuts are made fresh in it's own cafe/bakery spot. You can order a whole box or individual ones. The donuts were delicious- not too sweet and doughy but with a nice chew. You can definitely tell it's fried and the sugar one reminded me of a funnel cake. I really liked the matcha one too, which was also light in flavor but it was fun taking the little pieces one by one. In all, i would recommend this spot. read more

Soga Mochi Donut - Matcha and sugar - Donuts Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

The donuts here are delicious. The flavors change weekly (I think?) and everything I've tried has been delicious! Honestly, just eating the original is good. You can order a box for the most discounted price. Best bang for your buck because you can try all the flavors! They are served warm and best when eaten immediately. If you can't, just warm them for a couple of seconds in the microwave. I love the ringlets because you can tear off a couple of the balls and stuff them into your mouth. They are a different texture from your every day donuts. A bit chewier, probably because of the mochi. But they aren't as chewy as a mochi rice cake. Highly recommend trying if you're a big fan of mochi or donuts. read more

Soga Mochi Donut - Donuts Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

Mochi donuts have taken the Twin Cities by a storm and I've been so excited to finally try them! Hearing my friends in other states rave about these Japanese style donuts made me even more enthusiastic to check them out. This mochi donut shop is located inside an Asian grocery store. My husband was the one to go pick them up. Ordering online was super easy. The nice thing is that you can select a pick up time for the donuts to be ready by. He ran a few errands and then headed over to Soga and the donuts were ready by the time he got to them. We tried several flavors - Oreo, matcha, tiramisu, and Churro. My absolute favorites have to be the ones dipped in white chocolate - the Oreo and the Matcha. The Oreo tasted just like an Oreo cookie. The matcha didn't taste super bitter like typical matcha. It is was sweetened heavily but still delicious. I loved how unique these donuts were. From the soft, pillowy insides to the crispy outsides and even the fun shape. I'm definitely going to try more of their flavors. read more

I love this place. My favorite flavor so far are the pistachio and the frutti pebbles. Only wish they flavor their batter like other mochi donut places I've been to. All of their donuts are the same batter with different toppings or glaze. Would love a taro or matcha batter donut. Regardless, I'm very happy a mochi donut place opened in MN. read more

Soga Mochi Donut - Churro, matcha, and pistachio - Donuts Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

Located inside the Asian Market near the produce section. Currently they open a 11 am to 5 pm. I was the first person in line when I tried them. I ordered a 2 original, 2 yuzu glazed, 1 churro style and a tiramisu style. I was hoping to get hot and fresh donuts. Not sure if that was what I got. In the 2 minute walk to the car they were not hot nor warm. The flavor was fine though a bit greasy. The shape lends itself to easy small bites. My favorite was the Yuzu glazed. The citrus kick and extra glaze were good. I will give them another try but perhaps during a busier period when hot and fresh is more likely. read more

It's inside the Dragon Star Oriental Market. I wish the Yelp listings could give these important pieces of information along with the address to help people find these hidden gems. I first encountered mochi donuts just last month, and I'm addicted. I love the paper thin crisp shell, and the fluffy chewy inside. I love that they're like a ring of mini donut holes, so you can pull off just one ball to trade with your friend who got a different flavor. No quibbling who got a bigger piece. Everyone gets exactly one ball. You must try the yuzu slushie drink. It is so much better quality than the slushies at most bubble tea places. There are plenty of pieces of candied yuzu well-distributed throughout the entire slushie. The ice is the perfect consistency, and perfect for sipping while wandering around the huge selection of fun Asian foods at the Dragon Star. read more

Soga Mochi Donut - taro, 3x matcha, glazed, and cinnamon! - Donuts Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

Soga Mochi is located inside of the grocery store. While waiting for my donut order I took a look around the HUGE grocery store and found live crabs, Asian candies and other unique food items. I liked all the donut flavors with Matcha being my favorite. The light matcha flavor in the icing and the warm donut paired perfectly together. Cinnamon sugar was another favorite. I would recommend and will be returning for more! Note: There is no seating so these are donuts best eaten in your car or outside the building. read more

We ordered mochi doughnuts for delivery through DoorDash and they arrived looking perfect and tasting fresh! We decided to order a half dozen in the flavors fruity pebbles, original, and churro - two of each. My favorite flavor was definitely the churro mochi doughnut, but the fruity pebbles and original flavors were also good. In the past, I have had the same type of doughnuts in Japan and I would say these are comparable enough to that experience. However, I do feel like they should offer more flavors. I would LOVE it if they added matcha or yuzu flavor options - a milk tea could also be good! Ordering through DoorDash was really easy and got to the driver quickly. I hope to visit their location soon and try some of their drinks since it looks like they do have matcha and yuzu flavored drinks! The roasted soybean mochi latte looks really good. read more

Unique donuts - definitely worth the stop - 4 stars. Mochi donuts came to Minnesota - cool! I had to check it out. But first I had to find them. They're actually inside the gigantic Dragon Star Oriental Foods mega mart. They're smack dab in the middle of the front section of the building. My foodie friend thought Mochi donuts were 3 stars. But personally, I'd go with 3.5 or 4 stars. I tried the plain traditional style first. My first impression is they taste almost exactly like traditional donuts. But the donut flavor is muted. Frankly, I prefer the flavor of a traditional donut or a standard sour dough donut from any old place...Dunkin Donuts or even daily stock from my local Holiday Station. On the other hand, Soga has some unique flavors like Pomegranate and Lemon (my favorites). The second thing I noticed is the donuts are made to order. You come back in 5 or 10 minutes and get nice warm Mochi Donuts! Lastly, the donuts are chewy...very nice. This is from making them with Tapioca Powder (Cassava Root flour). As a benefit of this species of flour, I noticed the donuts are chewy the next day too. They don't taste stale in 24 hours (or less) like traditional wheat flour based donuts. An added bonus for those of you with gluten sensitivity: these things are gluten free. But they have fantastic texture. It seems to me that most gluten free donuts have a weird texture that makes them feel stale even when they're fresh. No stale texture with Mochi Donuts though, even after 24 hours of sitting on my kitchen counter. BTW, they have some great beverages too. I loved my Ceremonial Grade Matcha Latte! Thumbs up! -Maxx read more

I love coming to Soga Mochi! The donuts are amaaaazing!!! Of course whenever I come here I have to immediately down a donut in the parking lot when the donut is still fresh, since they are made to order. My favorites are........wait, I love them all!!

Soga Mochi Donut - Dark chocolate, churro and pistachio mochi donuts - Donuts Near Me - Saint Paul, Minnesota

A few years ago I had mochi donuts from a random grocery store in Hawaii. They were like a large donut hole and lightly crisp on the outside and so chewy on the inside. I am obsessed with the chewy mochi texture and I've been dying to find something similar since then. Enter Mochi donuts!! I had to make the trip to check them out - and also check out the amazing Dragon Star Foods (if you can't find it here you don't need it!). The donuts are cute, and served fresh with a light crisp and chewy texture just like I had hoped. I'd personally like if they were fatter/beefier for more chewy texture but if these are the only style mochi donuts I can get (short of flying to Hawaii) I'll take it! read more

If you've been to metros with higher concentrations of trendy Asian shops, you've probably tried a mochi donut (aka "pon de rings" for the prescriptivists out there). I've had versions in the Bay Area, LA, Seattle, and New York and I gotta say, these were better. Less successful places have overly toothsome, denser doughs that try to impart flavor by adding stuff to the doughs and messing with the wet-dry ingredient ratios. Happy to report Soga has none of these issues. How did this place just open? From the packaging to the flavors, everything is thoughtful and polished. The donuts were honey brown, light, crisp, with the perfect amount of chew. The black sesame and matcha were my favorites. Savory, not at all grainy like desserts with these things tend to be, and the focus was still the perfectly executed donut itself. It's just plain awesome. We are so lucky to have these in our backyard!! I will be coming back as soon I've worked them off at the gym. read more

I attended the Elite Event at Soga Mochi donuts today, It is a cute little shop inside Dragon Star Grocery. We ordered an Oreo donut and Fruity Pebbles donut. Our daughter and grandsons joined us so we got two churro donuts to share. One thing is that there was a 20 minute wait for donuts. They had a sign so we knew before we ordered. We shopped in the market while we waited, It is fun to shop in an asian market. When our donuts were done we realized there was not place to sit. A couple of tables would be real nice as an added thing. We ended up eating in the car. Our grandson loved the fruity pebbles donut and apple juice we found in the market. We all shared the different donuts and enjoyed them all. Im sure we'll be back sometime soon. Thanks! read more

This small business is located inside the Dragon Star Oriental Foods market. I didn't intend to visit this establishment. I was there to stock my pantry however you can't avoid it. There are people huddled around this area so it's congested. I wished it wasn't smacked down in the produce area. So after I did some browsing and filled my cart, I had my husband pay for our things while I weaved through the lines to make my order. Ya'll, I didn't know where the line started or ended. Just make small talks with the Minnesota-Nice people and you'll find the line to make an order. Pssst, there's another line for the people waiting to pick up their order so don't fall in the wrong line. Big mistake. Should have made my order first before I went shopping. It took almost half an hour wishing for my order of 6 donuts. I kid you not. Great they made fresh to order but man, I should have planned this better. Here I was number 76 and the woman behind the counter was shouting the number 65. Multiple mobile orders came through. Orders of over 50+ donuts at a time. So be patient, you must be. When my number finally was called, I received warm donuts. It appeared as a regular flour dough but the first bite told my brain that this is something different. It's crispy on the outside and the inside was like eating the rice mochi patties that my Mom toasted in the oven every New Year. I love that glutinous chew. It was so light, airy, and addicting. I totally forgot about the chaotic lines and time I spend waiting for these morsels. I would do it again because apparently they change their flavors weekly. read more

I attended the elite event today at soga mochi donuts. It's a cute little shop inside Dragon Star Grocery. We ordered the Oreo donut and Fruity pebbles donut. Our daughter and grandsons joined us and we ordered two churro donuts to share. The donuts were really tasty. Only bad side was we had to wait for 20 minutes for the donuts to be done. We all shared the different kinds and they were very good. Our daughter tried the Korean corn dog shop next door and got one of their cheesy corn dogs. She really enjoyed it. One thing that would help would be to have a couple of tables to sit at to enjoy the food. We ended eating in the car. While we were waiting we shopped around the store. Asian grocery stores are fun to shop at. We did find an apple juice for our grandson and he liked it. I'm sure we'll be back for a donut sometime soon read more

MN State Fair vibes! Located within Dragon Star Foods, you will find Soga Mochi Donut. Each donut is made up of dough connecting eight balls of crispy, light and fluffy deliciousness topped with a very faint sugar glazed frosting. Frosting choices rotate daily adding to the mystery and anticipation with new visits. Today the options were matcha, strawberry, taro, and toasted coconut. Similar to a mini donut, you can certainly taste the fried batter and just enough frosting to keep you wanting to try more. You can purchase singles or a box. These would be fun to bring into an office or a brunch party as they not only look beautiful but are very tasty. There are also a few drink options to select from including a matcha, black sesame cream latte with espresso, and roasted soy bean mochi latte. I loved that there are special drinking instructions for the soy bean latte which gives some history on the culture and traditions. Certainly worth the stop! Thank you, Soga Mochi Donut! Saint Paul is lucky to have you. read more

The donuts were good. I liked all the flavors I tried. It was very busy and a long wait.

How have I lived up to this point without mochi donuts in my life?!?! These are soooo good. I liked the original and the dark chocolate (rotating flavor) the best, but was also pleasantly surprised with the toasted coconut (it seemed like there was some other sugary/caramely/sticky something underneath as well - tasted kinda like a samoa Girl Scout cookie). It took a little while to get my order and was starting to get a little irritated when I got handed the box and it was WARM and you could tell they were freshly glazed - so worth the wait! Will def be stopping here again (frequently) if I am ever in the area. read more
