In addition to its delicious donuts, Mochidot now serves coffee and will add more iced coffee options.
Mochi donuts are different from what you’d find at a typical bakery. They are made with mochi, which is a rice flour that gives the donuts a chewy and pillowy texture.
Owner Nichole Williscroft says the inception of mochi donuts came from Japan, then made its way to Hawaii before becoming popular in the continental U.S.
