Gluten-free mochi donuts, taiyaki sundaes & milk teas
"Sweet, playful, and packed with flavor, this Texas-Asian dessert shop in Govalle serves kawaii soft serve with standout flavors like Vietnamese coffee, miso caramel, ube, honey matcha, and black sesame. Order it in a cup or go for the taiyaki cone, shaped like an adorable fish. Get ready to perfect your one-handed ice cream photo: the swirls are eye-catching, and so is the Instagram-ready space." - Darcie Duttweiler
"When you want impossibly cute pastries that also taste good, head to OMG Squee in East Austin. You’ll find mochi donuts that look like little cats or fish-shaped taiyaki filled with ube and black sesame soft serve. The entire menu is gluten-free, and there’s also a full menu of milk and fruit teas, boba, and matcha drinks. We like the classic ube donut here—it’s chewy and not overly sweet—but if cuteness is your primary factor, you’ll want one of the rotating specials that looks like an animal. There’s no indoor seating—it’s mostly just a small counter—but there are a few tables out front if you want to sit and admire your new cats/donuts for a bit." - nicolai mccrary

We like the classic ube donut here—it’s not overly sweet—but if cuteness is your primary draw, you’ll want one of the rotating specials that looks the most like your pet back home." - nicolai mccrary
