Disappointed by how stale the donuts and muffins are. Got them first thing in the morning so clearly had been sitting for at least a day. Prices are too high to be cutting corners like this. Coffee was too bitter to drink compared to previous visits. Seems it has gone downhill.

A friend recommended this place, mentioning how popular their mochi donuts and muffins are. As soon as coming up, I noticed quite the line coming from here. Since I was in the area, I committed to the line. It didn't take too long, it's just they allow one or two parties in the store at a time. Since my first visit, I've come once or twice again when I'm in east bay. I personally prefer the donuts more than the muffins. I try to order almost one of each of the flavors. They're always fun and unique and I love how strong the flavors are in the donuts. The texture is also great. Their matcha drinks are also really good. You can definitely taste the high quality ingredients they use. Absolutely love this place and can't wait to try their new SF locations.

Donuts and muffins are great!
Personal favorite is the raspberry lychee flavor and jasmine flavor. The raspberry lychee frosting is more of a soft shell which is one of the reasons I like it. The yuzu flavored donut is spot on! I am not a fan of citrus flavors, but the sourness and sweetness are balanced well. A subtle go-to is also the cinnamon muffin. The cinnamon is strong but not overwhelming. The muffin pairs well with a coffee. The thai tea donut flavor was disappointing as I expected a stronger flavor. The pandan donut tasted more on the coconut side. I enjoyed it with a matcha drink. The matcha einspanner latte was smooth and the whipped cream was rich. Would definitely recommend and is the best matcha drink I’ve had in Berkeley. Overall, I love how the environment is welcoming and inviting. There’s always a line and expect some crowding. There is space to sit outside though and enjoy the treats!
