Customer Reviews

This is a fantastic spot for bubble tea lovers and those craving unique, chewy mochi donuts! The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with a cozy yet modern vibe that makes it a perfect place to hang out with friends or enjoy a quiet treat. The bubble tea selection is truly impressive, featuring high-quality ingredients and customizable sweetness levels. Their signature drinks, like Brown Sugar Fresh Milk?my absolute favorite?are rich and full of flavor. I personally love adding grass jelly instead of boba, it

Super cute little place. Wish it had smaller options for the drink size other than large. Had a lot of ice in it, though I probably could have asked for no ice. Straws are really large too.

Mochi doughnuts had the magical chewy and stretchy texture, not super sweet and the fresh strawberry Chizu Green Tea was refreshing although way too much ice. Cool, chill vibe during Sunday night.

Donuts were good but definitely cold which didn?t taste as soft. I would probably only purchase half a dozen next time. Boba was delicious!

Tried the mochi donut here, and it was fantastic! The texture was unique?soft and chewy, with a perfect balance of crispness on the outside. Each bite had that classic mochi bounce, making it a fun twist on a traditional donut. The flavor was great, but I think it could be even better with a wider variety of glaze options. Overall, it?s a delicious treat and definitely worth trying if you?re in the mood for something different!

Ok I really wanted to like my drink from this place because I had head excellent reviews.... I ordered a Brown Sugar Cookies and Cream with Stir Fried boba and crushed Oreo cookies. Can someone please tell me why the "boba" is star shaped and NOT what I asked for? Thinking someone messed my order up. ?? There are star shaped somethings in my drink that are more like jellies than boba pearls. I'm wondering if she made my drink wrong because it doesn't look right nor do the star thingies taste like boba. Se

This place?s boba is okay. Many of the drinks are overwhelmingly sweet and have no options to adjust the sweetness. The winter melon, for example, was a drink I couldn?t even finish because of sugar overload. The brown sugar milk tea is probably my favorite. I just wish I could ask for less syrup for the same reason. That would probably be possible if I could easily reach any of the staff, but given the online-only order format with no custom instructions option, this is rather difficult to pull off as the

The mochi donuts are amazing! The drinks on the other hand are mid and the one that I got was 90% ice.

Mochi donut was very good would recommend , but boba was a complete disappointment. It looked incredible but tasted like the remains of dead rat covered in the slimy bird droppings. Unfortunately it makes my stomach hurt and I will spend lots of time in the toilet after. Was a little warm inside.

Great boba! Super recommend that! Underwhelming everything else. My friend and i ordered cheese yen coins after seeing their Instagram videos! and our coins had only a little bit of cheese in the corner of the coin, the rest of it (80%) was like eating a pancake (not bad, but where?s the cheese?). We?ve just moved from California and loved Mochinuts in Los Angeles, so we were super excited to see a mochi doughnut joint here in the Twin Cities, too. But their mochi doughnuts are just OK. Good glaze, but not

Everyone is super friendly and lightning quick service. The donuts are amazing. I love the consistency/texture of them. Mochi is my favorite confection so it's awesome to have it in donut form. I've read other reviews comment on the sweetness level of the drinks. There is an option to choose the sweetness level when you order. I'm not sure if that's new or if other folks missed it. I had the pandan and hazelnut at 50% sweetness and it was pretty good but I'll probably get 75% next time. I would say 5

pink & flowers are the two best aesthetic qualities and this place fully delivers! arguably the cutest spot in dinkytown. the milk teas & mochi donuts are delicious, albeit a little pricey. i've had the thai tea & brown sugar cr?me br?l?e, both of which i found rich, creamy, & flavorful. from their mochi donuts i've had ube, oreo & chocolate. all of them were very delicious & gone within seconds!

Such a treat for the eyes as well as my tummy. Come get out of today?s attic wind! It is warm and beautiful inside. The smells? hummus FREE. The selection? you tell me. Enjoy; I sure am!

This place is so cute. I love the ambience. We got taro, matcha, and strawberry mochi donuts and they were delicious and so soft - even after a few hours of ordering! We really wanted to try the boba plush surprise, but couldn?t justify $10 on it. Next time I will try their boba, but I would continue to order the donuts.

my husband and i went here last night and got two drinks and a six pack assortment of the mochi donuts! the entire place is super cute! my husband got a mango drink and i got an iced coffee, both were good? but the mochi donuts were amazing. we brought some home and my entire family loved them! the toffee ones are SO SO good! definitely would come back and recommend to try it out, i?m sure you?ll love it too and want to come back!

To be honest, they do not have the best mochi donuts I have had everywhere in the United States, but to have one like such in the Twin Cities, with such good service, efficiency, and options, is amazing already. I loved the black sesame, taro, strawberry, and Oreo mochi donuts, and an employee there told me today that they are coming out with new flavors soon! The d?cor is also very suitable for pictures when customers want to take some. But what impresses me the most is their employees' level of patience a

Delicious boba and mochi donuts with rotating flavors. You do have to get a drink to get 1 donut, otherwise it's a box of 6. $1 donuts with drink purchase on Tuesdays. Super cute shop with Instagramable backdrops and decor but no internet.

Love this place! I have to say I think I like mochi donuts better than regular donuts! This order was for a party, and was a big hit! Drinks are pretty good too! Also fast and friendly service! Thank you

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! The milk tea here is amazing and creamy. I ordered taro milk tea and winter melon tea and both were some of the best drinks I've ever had. I really liked the passion fruit pearls. I also tried 6 flavors of the donuts and each one was delicious! My favorite was the taro donut. The friendliest staff ever!!!

Love this place! The mochi donuts were yummy (favorite was taro). Bubble tea was decent, but mochi donuts were the highlight. Beautiful decoration and space was made with students in mind - had outlets on the table with usb :)

My first time going to a Japanese doughnut and Boba cafe. Space is quite small that tells me the space there renting per square ft must be expensive. Its my first time paying $15 dollars for six doughnuts. Most of the icing is base white chocolate but the extract different flavors the Taro flavor did not carry its weight it was basically like white chocolate with purple coloring maybe should try ube flavor? The fact you can only choose one out of your six pack per the the pink Golden rose tea flavor because

Decent enough place for a snack. A bit overpriced though.

First of all, the setup of this shop is super cute! If you're more into aesthetic cafes with cute photo walls, this is definitely the place for you! They have a rose covered wall with a neon sign, a 3D display of wings, and a hot air balloon setup for all your photo needs. To order, you use the two screens towards the back of the cafe. They're straightforward and easy to use. You also use those screens for payment. If you buy a drink, you can also buy one mochi donut. The default option is buying 3 or 6 moc

Finally, legit mochi donuts in the Twin Cities! They are so good and worth the wait. Black sesame was my favorite flavor, but I overheard that they rotate flavors every two weeks or so. Please note that you can only order via kiosk, and it can take quite a while for people to decide what they want to order. I didn't order any boba because the sweetness wasn't adjustable, but I'm not sure if it's like this for every drink.

Yummy mochi donuts with unique flavors! Boba tea usually is a size large, and lots of customizable options to choose from! Highly recommend.

Underwhelming. Ordered their best selling milk tea and a Vietnamese coffee, as well as 6 donuts and paid over $30. Drinks were so sweet they were disgusting, and the donuts were just okay. Taro and black sesame were good, but the others were pretty average donuts: not worth the price tag. Drinks also had no size choices, no sugar level options, and use a TON of unnecessary plastic. Seems like they spent a lot on the cute aesthetics for the store and not enough on making the product taste good. Our teeth sti

You can only get a minimum of 3 doughnuts unless you get a boba tea. Good flavor but more dense than others I?ve had.

I had a fruit tea. I can't remember what it's called but it is so amazing, the inside of the store was so beautiful and so clean! Especially for dinkytown! My kids absolutely love the drink I got. I can't wait to try the mochi donuts they look so elegant and beautiful! And my cup is adorable it has kitty ears

Tried their winter melon and pandang boba teas. The melon one was good the first time and pandang was different and fresh. The second time I got the winter melon tea, it tasted different - I didn't taste any melon flavor. Decent spot.

amazing!! the mochi donuts are to die for! they are so crispy on the outside and chewy in the middle. the creamy smooth frosting is so perfect on top! i asked and these are NOT gluten free or vegan. they contain eggs. the boba here is delicious as well! definitely recommend coming to dinky town to come here and explore all the other asian options in the area!

Want insta worthy pictures and good desert? The best spot to visit is this place! They have wide options of donuts and drinks and the overall vibe is amazing

These are the best donuts I?ve ever had! They?re soft and chewy yet still a little crispy. Not too sweet, everything about them is just perfect. The boba is also amazing got the signature milk tea (so good!) and mango green tea with passion fruit boba (also delicious). It?s an expensive place but worth every penny. Since it?s still so new, the line is huge. Make sure you order ahead online so that you can skip the line!

Ordered through uber eats and they intentionally gave me the worst flavors. Cmon 4 sugared? That sucks. Would've loved to try the new flavors you had, guess you have to go in store.

My partner and I keeps watching people buy like 2-5 boxes and we were like let try this place. I got Chizu Taro Latte and 6 mixed different kind. Wow they are BOMB! So good and we feel like we are in heavenly. Definitely will come back with Chizu Taro Latte for me and my partner love their donut. Perfect for our mini date. HIGHLY recommend stop by!!! (Yon won?t regret it!)

Love this place. It's so cute inside. The drinks and mochi donuts were delicious too!

Such a cute place to take pictures and hanging out with friends/family. There are different flavors of mochi dough and when you take a bite, it?s cheery inside covered with delicious toppings on the outside. Their drinks are also good and refreshing

Cutest little store. ?? The donuts were yummy. Maybe a little pricey, but definitely delicious!

Very cute atmosphere and fantastic choices for drinks! Note that the doughnuts are not gluten-free.

First timer here , place is great for ig pics. The donuts are good but the drinks were way to sugary for me, Now on to service and pricing could be more better honestly their is only one size for drinks which is large or xl and you have to pick a popping boba in which I didn't want because I don't need all that sugar , And tip option you have to tip their is no other option . I wish they had different sizes and sugar content and calories and etc that wasn't listed on the kiosk machine (I know it's in colle

This place was really great. We ordered the strawberry horchata donut with the mung bean pandan latte. The beverage comes with an edible flower and the flavor of the drink was amazing. The donut was equally amazing and not super sweet. They also had a matcha flavor mochi donut that is exclusive to boxes of six and limit one per box. Unfortunately we were not in a situation to get six donuts but we will be returning in the future to try more than one flavor and get a box to try the matcha next time we v

Went in today to try out some mochi donuts. The line was long but that was expected because they just opened up after hyping for months. Line went faster than I thought, service was quick got my order in less than 5 minutes. The doughnuts were light, crispy, airy, and weren?t heavy at all, could definitely eat a whole box without even knowing. Overall the staff was friendly and service was quick! Would definitely recommend this place for doughnuts lovers out there.

Decided to go check this place out since I love donuts, and Mochi Dough did not disappoint! You can taste the rich texture of the mochi in the balls, and the amount of flavors they had was quite plentiful. The staff was super friendly, and Bober Tea was good too. The vibe is great too if you like taking pictures. You may need patience if you visit during a busy time.

Wonderful donuts and tea. They taste super and fun, lot of calories.. don?t forget to go for a run after a visit. Must go place ..

I will always regret the day I tried a donut from this place for the 1st time. These things are addictively delicious. Think about a donut shaped sugar with multiple flavor options with a very neat presentation. . Amazing! Will be back??????

Just ordered a Doordash order from Mochi Dough. While they taste good, I feel like I got the donuts that were left from the end of day. They were hard and cold when I got them and I was not impressed. For reference, I'm about 10 minutes away, so there's no reason for them to be that way. Not happy with my order, unfortunately.

Seriously these doughnuts are the best ones I have ever put in my mouth. These were soooo light. My husband and I ate the entire box in one sitting. All flavors were decadent but my personal favorite was strawberry. If you are craving some amazing melt in your mouth light and fluffy doughnuts, this is the place to go.

Love mochi chewy light donuts. Fyi, double check their hours during the soft opening week since they closed at 6pm on weekends.

Loved their donuts. Especially black sesame - not too sweet like others and the taste of Sesame gives it the kick.

Glad I came here to try this out! My drink and the donut I got were very good! The mochi donut was amazing and warm. I am a bit frustrated as I thought the drink I ordered came with boba. The photo of the drink on their menu has boba in it but apparently it is not included with the drink. Please change your photo, it's very misleading and frustrating! I came because I wanted boba and left without it. :(

I ordered mochi donuts and the first thing I noticed is that they were not well frosted at all. The frosting on parts of the donuts were missing as well. Upon eating, I noticed that the mochi donuts were not very good in taste and were extremely stale. Not only was the food quality alright, but the customer treatment was alright as well. Otherwise, the establishment seemed well kept and very clean.

The donuts ?? are worth the drive and standing in line? it?s like a moist dessert, like a luxury chew, not like a dry text from your date, but more like a soft Pom Pom, boba balls. (Mochi Dough) Worth the wait, GET THERE EARLY as they do run out of the donuts. We got lucky and grabbed the last three around 9pm. Line is long, but goes fast. Parking, non existent.

Simply delicious! Had boba and vietnamese iced coffee both were amazing! Staff was super friendly. Mochi doughnuts were too good!

I ordered a drink and a sandwich which were good! But when I went back up to order a single donut the worker informed me I couldn?t order a single donut unless it was in a combo with a drink. Which was confusing to me since I had already ordered a drink and literally hadn?t left the store. She was very sweet about it and it?s obviously just company policy but it?s a very silly policy. I?m trying to give you more money and you won?t accept it!

Super cute place with great donuts and tea! They are definitely setup for all those future selfies with the decorations!

dropped in randomly while in the area because i was craving some boba tea and sure wasn?t disappointed. staff was super friendly, and I ended up grabbing some mochi doughnuts while i was there. so glad i did! the boba tea was on point as well.

Delicious doughnuts and drinks! The inside looks incredible with some great photo ops to show off what you purchased. My daughter loved her drink. We will definitely be back!

Seriously delicious!! Highly recommend ?? very good desert and drinks, please stop by and try it for yourself!

Kids wanted mochi donut so we tried it and it was amazing.

Yummy mochi donuts. It?s the best in town. I order online to do pick up. Much easier going across town. Just grab and go. Highly recommended.

Can?t even stay open for the time posted !!! Very disappointed Doesn?t even care about customer told me they closed early today !!! I had two kids with me who really wanted to try them out

Doughnuts dough is so good. Their boba is also very delicious.

Beautiful place, great vibe, and delicious mochi donuts! We?ll be back!

The mochi donuts are amazing, I highly recommend checking it out if you never had one. Never heard of it before until my girlfriend made mention about it and was flabbergasted as to how addicting they are. If you like mochi ice cream you will certainly love those mochi donuts.

Great atmosphere due to the decoration. Drinks were highly overpriced. They won't see me again.

The cheese cap matcha is amazing ??

Unique high quality donuts made with mochi dough. All good except taro is weak.

Some of the drinks are good, but everything is way too sweet with no option to adjust. The donuts are fresh and the texture is the best in the cities, but they all are white chocolate based and the flavor extracts they use just about always taste like nothing. Like, every donut tastes the same no matter what flavor I've had.

Mochi donuts are delicious! The fruit teas are great for kids.

I got a box of 12 doughnuts and I can say these are the best I've had in years. They have plenty of different flavours and the staff is super kind! 1000% recommend this place!

Cute store, terrible food and horribly long wait .

Super cute interior with statement walls and a little spot styled for photo shoots. This place is an explosion of pink. Their drinks list is large and wonderful! You order from a screen that lets you customize everything which I love: it also shows you photos of everything. I got the taro latte with the cream cheese like topping and it was incredible.

The donuts and tea were amazing, and the fantastic service and kind staff made it even better! The interior was nice ? a good spot to hang out with friends. Best place for boba in Dinkytown! I would definitely recommend the winter melon milk tea and the taro donuts :)

Incredible doughnuts! The texture of the doughnut is light and fresh with tons of flavor. One of my favorite new places!

I have to admit, I have never actually eaten here, but I know that they donated 100 FRESHLY MADE donuts to feed the individuals living at a local homeless shelter. They seem like really kind, generous people and their donuts look yummy so....why not check them out??

Horrible service. Got there with a friend 35 minutes before close and ordered three donuts. For some reason the workers closed the kiosks and it was a free for all for the donuts. Had more than seven people just walk in front of us and order before we did. Friend was allergic to bananas and they ended up with only the banana flavor left. Tried to get a refund but the worker ?lost? our order and acted like she wasn?t going to give a refund for literally paying $10 FOR NOTHING. Waited ten minutes for this wor

Asked a server a question and she was very rude and talk to me in a very condescending manner. FYI you can make mochi donuts made fresh to order; it would require guest to wait a little longer.

Very beautiful establishment, you can tell the owner put lots of hard work and passion into their making they're dream come true, the whole entire theme is amazing from the boba cups, donut boxes, pink straws and all the beautiful decor, PERFECT! The donuts were yummy, love the funnel cake flavor, my favorite ??, my daughter loved the lucky charms flavor. I got a traditional Brown sugar milk tea, 50% sweet, and 2x stir fried boba, it was good, but Evan at 50% sweet it was still very sweet, my daughter had t

Mochi donuts were pretty good, but I couldn?t taste the difference between these flavors.

Everything from the entrance to exiting was amazing .donuts and boba tea was so good will definitely go back .

I really like their donuts and drinks. Everything I've had has been good. But they are more pricy than many bubble tea places and their policies are really weird and unclear. Their linked website claims that they do dollar donuts on Tuesdays if you buy a drink, but they said they actually don't do that. They have certain donut flavors that you can only get if you buy a box of 6, but what they didn't mention is that you can still only get one of that flavor. So you buy a box of 6 to get the flavor you want b

I have never tried boba before and this experience was just more than I could ask for. The staff was dancing around to the music and was super friendly and helpful. The decorations and set up of the store was so awesome and super super cool. And the drinks were absolutely amazing and I will for sure be coming back again!!

Easy to order and quick moving service. They use a kiosk syst for customers to place their orders. When completed, they just call you over to pickup. We got both the boba and mochi donuts. Loved the boba. Their mochi donuts were well decorated and cute. However, I wasn't a huge fan of them. They were a little dry for my preference but my friend and her entire family LOVES them. Aside from that, the place is super cute. It is a little tiny so, plan your visits well if you want seating or photos. Don't go dur

I haven?t had the doughnuts, only the drinks. The flavor for the drinks are good and I love the boba pearls themselves, but the sweetness level is insane. The first time I came I got 50% sweetness and that was FAR too sweet, the second time I got 25% and even then it was wayyy too sweet, I can?t possibly imagine finishing a 75% or god forbid a 100%. Drinks would be a slam dunk for me if they eased up on the sugar a bit

I really like the Boba here and cute cups are so cute and the aesthetic of the place overall is beautiful. But I wish they had a bigger variety of the flavors of the Mochi donuts. Maybe it?s just because I came on a Sunday night but I was sad to not see any strawberry Mochi donuts

Delicious mochi donuts, wish they bring back taro permanently. Not a fan of kiosk, don't like why I have to order through a screen. Apparently if you order the 3 donut box you are restricted to certain flavors. On top of that there is Never parking available. Good donuts, but too much restrictions.

Decided to place an online order thinking they would have my donut order ready when I go pick up. I ordered around 7PM, TWO HOURS before closing. I got the 6 pack mixed mochi donuts and we could not pick the flavors, which I was fine with. Mind you, this was the only option for online ordering. I got there around 8:30PM, told the worker about my online order. She told me that they?re out so they can?t fulfill the order and all they can do is refund me. She goes on telling me that they didn?t think they woul

I really like the donuts. The sesame one we ordered were delicious. We were smart and got 25% sweetness in our milk tea. It was good. They?re new and they have operational hiccups I hope they fix it because I basically threw away $15. you can order a box of eight churro or funnel cake donuts. So I ordered the funnel cake ones that when we came up to the counter there were none available and they said we are making them right now and will get them to you. That was all completely fine and I even told the youn

The flavors and taste were amazing. The drinks were pretty and tasted as good as they looked. My only complaint would be the price for 6 donuts. But then again you are paying for the gorgeous box.
