Such a cute little place (yes, very little)!

The boba was very good, not too sweet, the boba taste fresh.
We also had a donut and that was fluffy and sweet.

Love it here. The mochi donuts are incredible - best donut I’ve tasted.

The bubble tea and pearls were great. Perfect mix of sweetness and taste! The mozz stick was delicious. I didn't like their signature, the mochi doughnut much though. It was slightly tough to bite and quite greasy.

Live in the neighborhood and finally stopped by today. Really adorable shop with lovely workers. I got the strawberry donut and it was delicious! I was really impressed by the frosting. They have cute seating outside where I read and enjoyed my donut.

This place is run by the KINDEST woman. I accidentally left my wallet, and she came TO MY APARTMENT to give it to me after the shop closed!! It was so sweet. I didn't even realize it was gone but she managed to figure out my address. She also brought me a free donut to further emphasize just how wonderful she is.

I will definitely become a regular! Can't wait to try out more items. Hopefully I don't leave my wallet again 😂 I highly recommend this spot.

These donuts are addictive! I come here every week while doing laundry next door. I’ve tried Nutella, Strawberry, and Cookies n Cream flavors so far - every single one was amazing. The texture of these donuts is to die for, you have to try them!

A new boba place, and one I can't recommend more highly. The tea is sweet and priced relatively reasonably, and the ambience is fantastical and whimsical. Pastel colors are omnipresent, from imaginative, shimmering, artificial cherry blossom trees, to the cute, frothy ornamentation that can be found everywhere here. The effect is cozy yet dreamlike. Grab a tea and some Thai chicken wings and appreciate this swath of hyper-saturated paradise.

I am absolutely obsessed with this spot - the UWS has deserved a cafe like this for a while now. Family owned, gorgeous decor, and the best mochi donuts I’ve had ANYWHERE, hands down.

On my first visit, I was greeted by the sweet shop owner, who is a UWS local. The mochi donuts come in lots of flavors, I recommend the taro (less sweet) or Nutella. The texture is exactly how a mochi donut should be - light, fluffy, and bouncy. There is also a small menu for hot food that includes Korean corn dogs and a pork belly rice bowl. My Korean corn dog was enormous and cheesy, arguably better than lots of others I’ve tried around the city. The fried ice cream was also delicious! And lastly, I cannot say enough good things about decor. It’s charming, trendy, and perfect for pictures. You can feel the love the owners have poured into this place.

They’re working on opening a speakeasy-style bar in the back within the next few months, can’t wait!

This new mochi donut and boba shop in the UWS recently had their soft opening last weekend. Mochi Dolci is in the old space formerly occupied by Kefi, a now defunct Greek restaurant. While there are other spots in this neighborhood to get boba/bubble tea, this might be the first for mochi donuts. The exterior and interior space are aesthetically pleasing and very IG worthy. The interior décor is overly whimsical with its peach/pink walls, flower selfie walls and neon lights, and definitely stands out in this neighborhood.

The owner is so incredibly nice and took time to chat with us on our first visit. And on our second visit we felt like we were friends visiting. I’m not sure when they will be fully opened for indoor dining; we went yesterday, and it looks like they still had some small construction work happening.

Their menu is small right now and consists of six varieties of boba drinks, rotating flavors of mochi donuts, Korean corn dogs, and strawberry Bingsu. I’m sure they will continue to add more when they finally have their grand opening. You can place your order at the counter, at the kiosk by the entrance or by downloading their app and placing it there.

During our visits we’ve tried their Taro the Tiger Boba Tea and Black Sugar Boba. Unlike other boba shops, we weren’t given the option of customizing the sugar and ice levels. Not sure if this is because they are still working out the kinks and if this option is available on their kiosk. The Black Sugar Boba was a wee bit too sweet for me and the Taro Boba was not sweet enough. I did enjoy the boba pieces itself and wished they had put more in the drinks. We have also tried their mochi donuts and have gotten the pandan, strawberry and chocolate flavors. The mochi donuts here are very fluffy and had a nice chew. I enjoyed the pandan flavor best as it had a hint of pandan and coconut.

If you are in the neighborhood with the family, definitely check this place out. I think kids and teens especially would appreciate this place.
