First Mochinut location in Philadelphia and it has been a hit! We have a variety of mochi donuts, corndogs, drinks (bubble tea, coffee, smoothies) that are made fresh everyday. We have been featured on multiple news outlets and food blogs. Come and treat yourself!

I found this place online, and was very curious to try! I’ve always wanted to try Korean donuts, so I was excited to get some to try. When I walked in, the vibes were immediately off. The entire place was empty and silent, there was no music playing. When I asked the cashier questions, she stared at me like I had a third head and only answered yes or no. The interior was kinda cute, but one section of the wall was clearly meant to be photographed for Instagram. I had perused their menu online prior to stopping by, but they didn’t have the drink I wanted to try, even though it was heavily advertised on their site’s front page. I tried the Nutella, Chocolate, and Cookies N Cream doughnuts. They were okay. They’re visually cute, but the taste is meh. They weren’t cooked that well, the texture of each donut was weirdly different than the other. The chocolate glaze on the Nutella donut was weirdly wrinkly like it was separating and the texture was off. Whole Foods has better-tasting donuts that are half the price. Maybe if these were cheaper it would be worth it, but as it stands, they’re not worth $5 per donut.

Great quality, but you have to eat it the same day otherwise it gets hard, my favorite one out of the ones I selected was chocolate surprisingly!
I love the dried strawberry on the strawberry donut but the icing was little too sweet compared to the others, but if you like the sweetness, try the strawberry.
My second favorite was the mango cheesecake donut. Yummy and aesthetically pleasing.

Cute spot for mochi donuts, rice hotdogs and drinks! Mochi donuts were not oily at all and you could actually taste the dough and ube flavor. Fruity pebbles added nice texture and flavor. Hotdog was juicy and hot Cheetos flavor was really good. Again, not oily at all. Staff were super friendly. Line got long quickly after we ordered. Highly recommend!

A small, cute place with great staff offering hot dogs and cheese dogs wrapped in deep-fried mochi. We stopped by and grabbed one just to try during a long afternoon walk. I can’t speak to its health benefits, but this would be a perfect hangover snack.

Inviting and peaceful atmosphere, with great food and service. My son loved the brown sugar boba tea!

Mochinut: If you have a choice of sauces to go with the hotdogs then offer it as you handover the hotdogs. Why did I have to look around and stand in line to enquire if they had any sauce? Bogus. But the ‘dogs are OK with sauce e.g mango habanero sauce. The mochinuts are tasty and a bit on the chewy side. Service is slow and unfriendly. My cappuccino was Luke warm and below average. Not a friendly place. One visit is enough.

This place is adorable! I absolutely enjoyed the brown sugar milk tea with bobas and espresso shot as well as the potato mozarella “corn dog.” I would love to try their mochi donuts, I’m sure they are also amazing. This is a great place to stop before spending some time by the river at Penns landing.

I think that Mochinut was T Cafe which can still be seen in maps but I’m not 100% certain.
Clearly the entrance says Mochinut as does the decor inside so assume that T Cafe is no longer.
Great stop for coffee and Mochinut. The inside of Mochinut is simple and streamlined with plenty of seating. A nice place for a quick break if you have spent time walking the city.
Of course, the Mochinut donuts are delicious and they have a large variety of flavors. The coffee is equally inviting with a large selection of coffee, smoothies and milk teas.
These are served in see-through cans which have aluminum tops with pull tabs – it’s so cool! So even if you order an iced milk tea you will need to pull the aluminum tab to open your drink. Needless to say these travel well and look really cool too.
One issue I am sure you will encounter for anyone who has not committed the Mochinut flavors to memory. Namely, the Mochinuts are on display on the side of the counter. It’s a very nice display with all of the Mochinut flavors labeled and visible. However you need to order your Mochinut at the front of the counter. They have a small handwritten list of the Mochinut flavors scribbled on a small piece of paper but it’s not the same as seeing the Mochinut flavors.
I don’t think the staff or owner understands this as when we ordered the person at the register was unwilling to move to the display so we could point to our selection (as everyone in any bakery since the dawn of time has done). Also from a brain perspective you are asking people in this case to switch between the right side (right side) and text (left side) text.
I think they could improve this specific shortcoming and increase speed of taking customers orders, decrease confusion and increase fun.
Maybe they need photos or wax replicas of their Mochinut flavors on the front of the counter, I don’t know I’m not here to fix that but just give a short review.
This issue does not however change the wonderful flavor of the Mochinut or coffee so Mochinut is definitely worth a stop if you have not tried it.

I was here back in 2 years ago, n we love it, that’s why we back again 05/25/2024—-you know what, will not come or recommend anyone to be here. Back then it was very nice people, and the food was authentic…..But now they change it, the hotdogs are smaller, The boba uses to be in a can with the logo, like a soda can, just pop the top and poke a straw thro. But now it’s in a plastic cup with no logo, contributing to the downfall of the authenticness!!! The prices went UP which is fine if they keep the same quality as before! When we asked for some water, they wanted us to pay! So we asked just for a plastic cup, and was asked for 50 cents. Was much better back then, do not recommend coming here if you want to get your money’s worth.
The taste of the drink is watery…..
*****Only this location gave me the hard time, not other mochi donut chain store! ( Not sure if this one is a Real authentic chain store anymore) ***
