Dot & Dough

Donut and mochi are two of my favorite desserts. Donut + mochi must be amazing, right? Well, I don't hate nor love them. They smell like donut and has mochi texture, but I'm confused with the combination. The mochi part isn't quite chewy and donut exterior could be a little crisper. I wonder if they will taste better when served warm.

Dot and Dough is not your regular donut shop. They specialize in filled and mochi donuts and what I think really sets them apart is their flavors. Alongside your favorite classic flavors like vanilla and chocolate, Dot and Dough has a huge variety of innovative flavors such as Taiwanese Brown Sugar, Thai Tea, Milk and Cereal. They are always expanding their menu and switching out seasonal flavors so you can always have something new to try! FOOD: This time I tried their Strawberry Pocky Mochi Donut, Crispy Cereal Chocolate Filled Donut, Vanilla Filled Donut Strawberry Pocky Mochi Donut - The mochi donuts here are a must try item as they have such an incredible texture. The flavor was also perfectly sweet and fruity. I’d definitely recommend trying this flavor while it is still on the menu as it is seasonal. Crispy Cereal Chocolate Filled Donut - For any chocolate lovers out there, this donut is definitely for you. This donut was definitely a flavor sensation. The crispy cereal on top of the donut provided an amazing texture contrast to the soft, fluffy donut and the rich, silky chocolate cream filling. Vanilla Filled Donut - You cannot go wrong with any of Dot and Dough’s classic filled donuts. Covered in sugar and generously filled with cream, these donuts are an absolute delight. This donut is so simple and well balanced. I loved the vanilla flavor because it was not too heavy or sweet. This would definitely be my go to if I am in the mood for a lighter dessert. My personal favorite is either the Crispy Cereal Chocolate filled donut or the vanilla because Dot and Dough is one of the only places I know in SGV that sell this kind of filled donut and they do them so incredibly well. If you are interested in their mochi donuts I recommend going early as they could potentially sell out, especially with popular seasonal flavors like the Strawberry pocky. LOCATION: The store itself is a bit small but very cute. It is perfectly decorated and there is a display window filled with replica donuts so you can see what the donuts look like before you order. There are some cute tables outside the store for you to sit and enjoy your donuts. If you are lucky you might be able to find parking on the street right in front of the store but if not there is a parking structure in the back with plenty of parking. The plaza it is located in also has tons of great food nearby so you could have a meal and go to Dot and Dough for dessert or just walk around the area and enjoy the ambiance.

$1.50-$3 donuts, are you outta your mind?! Cheap mochi donuts! I enjoyed the matcha filled one with fruit loops. Staff was so sweet. It wasn't busy so she allowed me to call in my order, pay outside the door and pick up outside of the front door. For anyone with extremely allergies, I don't recommend this place as they aren't absolutely sure.

The Service: Super friendly and efficient. Great customer service! The Food: OMG!!! The dough is sooo soft & chewy. Very generous fillings AND they are not overly sweet!! I could totally eat 2 or 3 of them. They have new flavors now, salted caramel creme brulee, cookies & cream, and charcoal with black sesame. The Parking: Plaza parking lot behind the building (free!)
