Crema's Take

This spot inside San Pedro Square Market specializes in mochi donuts—chewy, glutinous rings with creative flavors like matcha and raspberry—made to order via self-serve kiosk, which means you'll wait 10–15 minutes and pay premium prices ($6–7 per item). The donuts themselves get genuine praise from fans who love the texture, but the 3.8 rating signals inconsistency: some customers report quality or service letdowns that keep it from being reliably good. If you're specifically craving a novelty mochi donut and don't mind the wait and cost, it's worth trying once; otherwise, there are more reliable pastry stops nearby.

Glutinous flour based donuts. Yum! Not for everyone because of their chewy nature, but beautiful and tasty with a nice mix of unique flavors like matcha. Pricier than regular donuts though. Order via a kiosk at the booth, or on your smartphone.
