I don't want to hurt this restaurants review rating, but it was a 4.5/5 that should be lowered to a 4. However, I did go in late in the afternoon so I'll give it the benefit of a doubt. Let's begin
Come early!!!! Mochi donuts fresh are a delicacy, the fresher the batch. The better the bite! I went in around 3:30 and was limited to the selection as they close at 5. My fiancée and I love these donuts so we had to see how Denver throws down in the Mochi game.
Mochi donuts: 4/5
-try the Choco churo, the taro/ube with the frosting, and the cookies and creme! The ube and the matcha were more of a 2.5/5 very average. The reason I'm giving these a 4/5 is because there is potential. The choco churo is a 5/5 for it's take on a churo, Fluffy interior with a crunch on the outside and sugar cinnamon coating. Nice. The purple ube/taro with the frosting was my favorite.... 5/5 for it as it was sweet to the melt in your mouth. I'm sure if it were fresher it'd be that much better! The cookies and creme is always a favorite, I would give this a 4/5 as I would like to have a little more crunch to the cookies and creme exterior, but again; I came in later in the afternoon. Matcha was a 2/5, this donut to my fiancée was her least favorite, there was a taste in the donut of maybe older oil? I don't know, but it wasn't the best one in the batch, flavor wise, it was missing the matcha!! This was the first bite I had and it was left to be desired was definitely more for the visual. The ube, 3/5. Average, nothing special
about it other than it being a donut. If this is your first time trying Mochi donuts. Please try them earlier in the morning as the flavor and texture change by the hour I'd say....
Bubble tea: 3/5
-I ordered the black tea with brown sugar boba/jelly. It was average... the milk used was a powdered one. Some hokkaido powdered milk would be amazing to the tea!!! This boba was very average; it wasn't anything special when you think of a what brown sugar boba tea is, the real winner is the Mochi as this is just to compliment the Mochi experience, but I just wish there would have been more milk options as the milk powder used left an after taste to the tongue.
Service: 3/5
-I know it's closing time so everyone wants to go home... however In seeing the interactions in the lobby. Staff was in the back, didn't really engage much with clients coming in. Called in and asked if there were still donuts available, was made to feel like if I didn't leave right then and there.. they weren't going to help me.
As mentioned. Come early!
4.5/5 that could be brought to a 4/5, but I don't live there and I love that your city has this as an option for those who have never tried it... thank you.
