Donuts are fine. Kinda raw. Coffee's good.
However, I give 1 star because Mochinut has no soul. If you want, read my rant below about why. . .
I'm not a fan of the large amount of trash that goes directly to the landfill. You shouldn't be either.
As a trendy type of business where the target demographic is young people, how do you not have a recycling bin? Also, each order comes with a rather large-sized box—larger than needed—and it's just trashed immediately.
There are no ethics of any kind in this business. They're just there for the money-grab only.
Mochinut has no environmental consciousness.
Mochinut doesn't even have any societal consciousness.
They're smart with their business though; they spend money where it counts. A 'gram-worthy wall, obviously. Big photo-worthy boxes too, for the same reason. They're relying purely on virality and hoping to cash-in on the photos posted by their customers.
We can do better though, people!! With businesses (and so many identical copies around) who will literally do ANYTHING to get us kids to like them, no matter the social/environmental/cultural losses, all we have to do is collectively choose those places which represent us best, and these kinds of stores will ramp up their sustainability OVERNIGHT!!
The sad thing is that they underestimate us. And when we buy from these bloodsucking companies, we confirm what their market research has concluded about us: that we're attention-seeking and wasteful dumb kids who will do anything for a few likes.
Do better, Mochinut. I know you will read this.
It might not be all of us right now, but there's still a sizable amount of us young people who DO care, who ARE thoughtful, and who DO use compassion as our compass.
CONCLUSION: Mochinut's first priority is to go viral with the help of shallow and unconscious young buyers who photograph everything. I mean, even food/drink quality is secondary to this goal (as others have described already). Finally, attempting to be a conscious business is LAST PLACE (if even considered at all).
Again, is it working? Sadly, yeah. But guys, we deserve better. We...
Read moreJust like everyone else I was very excited to try this out! Waited almost an hour for our order, literally was standing there at the counter watching everything unfold from the orders being placed to the food to the staff handling the food cringe lots of staff wandering around looking lost for the most part and they were all was wearing gloves but I find it pointless because they was literally touching every and anything and then handled food with the same gloves on! Watched as one staff boxed our order but she had called out a different order number then my boyfriend specifically asked her if she was sure it’s not our number because clearly they was having a hard time reading their tickets because they all was holding all the order receipt to the light so they could read it. She was so confident that it was not ours and placed it on the counter bout 5 minutes later she came back to the same box picked it up and called out our order number! Acted dumb when confronted about the order number and then asked what kind of sauce we wanted I just left because I was irate at this point. Clearly they need to work on a better game plan on executing the orders and what staff should do in between orders giving this is their first week open I didn’t give them a hard time. There is room for improvement but not sure how long that would take....
Read moreI blame TikTok… the only reason I had any kind of interest in going to this place is cause the scam-fluencers claimed it was a “Must try when in Orlando”. Don’t listen to them, you can definitely skip this spot. The traffic on the street to get to this location is nuts. The parking is trash, good luck finding a spot. They were sold of most of their donuts.
What really set me off was the fact that after the first two bites my cheese dog was raw, the middle still had gooey batter and just a huge chunk of cheese. gags in flashback.. the two stars are for the aesthetic but the actual product itself, hard pass. The Hot Cheeto Cheese dog was the same exact way. I stopped in on my way to I4, so there was no option for me to go back and get a refund.
You can’t control your business blowing up on TikTok but you can however control the quality of your product. I definitely would not double back nor would I recommend it to anyone else. Definitely...
