"This Near West Side spot is part of a Hawaiian-based chain with shops all over the country. Chains can be hit-or-miss, but this place's mochi donuts are great. Mochinut’s rice flour base creates a sticky, stretchy interior with a crispy exterior. They have over 20 to choose from, but the savory and fruity flavors are the best. So go for the black sesame, matcha, or mango." - adrian kane, john ringor
