Adorable bakery stall tucked in the corner of K Market's food hall featuring mochi donuts, macaroons, and croffles in a variety of flavors! Starting with their namesake, the mochi donuts are certainly chewy and have the delightfully springy, QQ texture that makes these donuts so special. They have a ton of flavors, but my favorites have to be the black sesame and yogurt. Although the black sesame frosting is a touch on the sweeter side, it's packed with a ton of black sesame flavor. They also sprinkled on a few full sesame seeds for a bit of texture, visual interest, and extra nuttiness. The yogurt mochi donut is also delicious -- the slightly tangy yogurt helps to balance out the sweetness of the donut / frosting. It's an otherwise pretty simple donut, so it's perfect for when you're looking for a simpler, cleaner flavor profile that still has a bit of a twist.
We also tried their matcha, ube, and churro flavors, which were tasty but didn't stand out quite as much as the others. The matcha was a bit too sweet, the ube was lacking in ube flavor, and the churro only had a hint of cinnamon. Even so, all of their mochi donuts were phenomenal -- they achieved the perfect texture (and I'm sure they'll be even better when fresh and warm), and they're not overly sweet.
We haven't had a chance to try their croffles yet, but I'm not a huge fan of their macaroons -- there's a bit too much filling, and they don't have a ton of flavor, so it ends up feeling a bit plain. After our success with their black sesame donut, I decided to give their black sesame macaroon a shot, but it didn't have the same nuttiness as the donut version.
All in all, delightful stall if you're looking for a sweet treat as you wander the aisles of K Market! I love their mochi donuts, but will probably skip the macaroons next time.

Mochi Donuts
Went in on a Saturday, earlier in the evening - there was no line, and easy to place an order. I ordered 2 mochi donuts (mango & black sesame) and a strawberries & crème croffle. The croffle was delicious, not overly sweet, the croissant texture came thru, and I’d totally come back just for the croffle. The black sesame mochi donut was good too with its strong flavor but nothing extraordinary that’d make it stand out from the rest of mochi donut places around.
I’ve come back repeatedly to see what’s new to try and bring back a couple boxes for pasalubong. Always a crowd pleaser. Definitely a cheat code for bringing to parties.
Mochi donuts are cool and fun to eat. They tasted good; we got mango, strawberry, Nutella, coffee, Oreo, fruity pebbles, matcha, and the purple ones. Mango is our favorite. Though, the texture of the mochi and the icing starts to feel greasy after awhile. I’m used to karioka I guess. I still recommend it. Just don’t eat them all in one seating. 😅
I chose the Thai Milk Tea flavor for my first mochi donut. Wonderful taste and interesting light, chewy texture. Friendly, helpful service. Located in the Food Court in the International Food KMarket.
I was super excited to finally try it after weeks of seeing it all over my social media feed and standing in a super long line (go on weekdays). The texture was much chewier and bouncier than a regular donut. If you don’t like extremely sweet donuts, then mochi donuts are a perfect alternative! :)

Tried the ube and matcha mochi donuts and the jasmine milk tea. Was ight. Ube didn’t taste like ube, just sugar glaze. And the matcha was ok but also just sweet. The texture definitely wasn’t chewy enough and just too airy. Not at all even close or compared to the mochi donuts in Hawaii or Japan I've had. Wasn’t a fan of the milk tea either. The boba was over cooked and tea was meh.
