So glad Boston now has a solid mochi donut spot. This is my 3rd visit to Pon de Joy, and every time has been a treat! My partner and I picked up a half dozen box; our six flavors today were matcha, white sesame, strawberry milk, matcha cheesecake, orange cream, and red velvet --
TASTE: 5/5 - I really enjoyed the nuttiness of the white sesame, the sugar rush of the strawberry milk, and the sweetness of the matcha cheesecake. So good!
TEXTURE: 4/5 - love the soft, chewy mochi paired w the smooth, flavored coatings. Plus, some donuts have toppings that add even more texture. Eat them fast though, the chewiness isn't the same after a few days!
PRICE: 4/5 - approximately $20 for a half dozen seems like a lot, but I'm usually willing to spend more on dessert like this
SERVING SIZE: 5/5 - my partner and I will switch between sampling some of the donuts, to eating donuts whole. The mochi ball-shape makes it super easy to pick and choose
SERVICE: 4/5 - there was quite a crowd at around 5pm on a Saturday afternoon, but my partner and I waited to order a little later and there was no line anymore. The folks behind the counter asked for our flavor choices right after we placed our order on the screen!
TAKEOUT: 5/5 - Pon de Joy must have recently stepped up their donut box game! These new containers are cute and now also super sturdy
PARKING: 4/5 - the Super 88 parking lot is definitely tight, but I've usually been able to find a spot
