Hana World Market is our neighborhood Asian grocery and we're used to seeing food court vendors come and go over the years, so it has taken me a bit to finally go check out newish chain store open since April 2022, Mochinut. I'm not a big dessert person, but I live with two sweet-tooths. Apologies to them that I waited so long to come in, because this place delivers on delicious treats!
The donuts are a neat, shareable form factor with 8 bubbles made for easy tearing. This worked out great for our family when I wanted to try a couple flavors & could easily portion out a fair share for me from my son's horde.
The mochi donut texture, thanks to the rice flour base, is a pleasant cross between the traditional pastry donut and the classic cake donut, and even with the toppings, they're not too sweet.
Prices are on the expensive side compared to traditional American donuts like Shipley's or Krispy Creme, around $3.50-4 per donut depending on how many you order.
We've only had the donuts at Mochinut, but they have more to offer including stuffed mochinut balls, fruit teas & boba drinks ($5-7), and Korean-style rice flour battered "corn" dogs ($5-8). Other chain locations offer some interesting soft serve frozen desserts, but we didn't see that option at this location.
Open inside Hana World Market food court: Tue-Sun, 11a-7p
