What is your pick? These are some tried and true popular shops that circulate when recommendations are requested:
-Honeys
-Cartems
-Mello
-Lee’s
-Lucky’s
-Duffins
-Cream Pony
-Their There (mochi doughnuts)
Are Honey’s and Mello worth the price? I went to Cartems once and I never went back because of the price.
I’m concerned that fresh made donuts, no pre-mix, are becoming a rare special treat due to how expensive they’re becoming. At a certain point the taste of something does not justify the cost.
I definitely think Mello is worth the price. They’re our favourite (we only like yeast ones, and have tried all the yeast ones above).
I still haven’t found a mochi doughnut as good as mr. donuts in Japan though. The ones at ukoi cha taste right, and the texture is right, but they taste like oil :(
So close.
