Mochinut
This Asian-inspired shop offers unique donut flavors – try their signature mochi donut, which has a chewy and soft texture, unlike any other donut you’ve had before. They also serve mouth-watering Korean hot dogs!
Our recommendation: Get the Matcha or Nutella mochi donut paired with the Ube boba drink (and when they ask if you want cheese on top, say YES). We know it sounds like a weird combo, but it’s THE best boba and donuts we’ve tried.
