Mochinut’s delectable donuts are taking over the Tampa area. The purveyor of mochi donuts and cheesy Korean rice dogs will open a new brick-and-mortar in New Tampa — an opening timeline and official address are still TBA, but you can follow the store’s official account for updates.
“Mochi donut is the titillating product of the happy union between Japanese rice cake (mochi) and American-style doughnuts, which originated in Hawaii,” writes the Mochinut team. These desserts are super sweet, very flaky, and offer one of the most satisfying crunches you’ve ever enjoyed.

The rice flour makes the donuts stretchy and chewy. “There is a sticky addictiveness to each bite, a textural element that is completely different from yeast or cake donuts,” write the owners on the Mochinut website.
Donut flavors include ube, matcha, strawberry, banana milk, mango, churro, and black sugar. You’ll find ample boba flavors to pair with the morning or afternoon snack. The purple Ube boba is already calling my name.
Mochinut’s rice flour hot dogs include a fried ramen hot dog and a hot Cheetos and mozzarella hot dog. 
They currently operate locations in Temple Terrace and Pinellas Park:
- 11401 N 56th Street, Temple Terrace
- 6242 66th St N, Pinellas Park
