Look, I’m always on the hunt for donuts, so it’s fun seeing more mochi donuts pop up around town!
Mochi donuts are a blend of classic American pastries and Japanese mochi, which are confections made with a spongy and chewy rice flour. These versions are typically crafted into circles of eight tiny balls, then lightly frosted in a variety of flavors.
Here’s where to find mochi donuts in Columbus!
1. The Mochi Shop

The Mochi Shop has been a staple of the Worthington Farmers Market for a couple years. Their donuts have undergone a few different changes over the years before landing on the trendy, eight-segmented style.

Nowadays they often appear at farmers markets like Dublin and Worthington, shops like Little Cat Boba and Kitty Bubble Cafe & Bar. You can also pre-order from their website and pick up from Global Gallery Coffee Shop in Clintonville on Saturdays.

They sell out fairly quickly at the markets on Saturdays, so make sure you visit early!
