I'd tried something like this outside of NY State before and enjoyed it, so I decided to give this Rochester Mochinut location a try. As some reviews point out, this location does have a bit of a rundown appearance. On the upside, service was fine. The donuts themselves are more expensive than at most donut shops though. They're also extremely colorful, which is sure to be appealing to kids but doesn't do much for me as an adult. Adding additional colorful toppings that don't complement the glaze flavors makes little sense to me. Fruit Loops on top of pistachio glaze - why? The actual glaze flavoring itself could have been more authentic too. But, hey, it's a bright, colorful donut, not a fancy pastry. Unfortunately, the taste suggested that they allow these things to sit around for too long. What I ordered wasn't stale. But, it wasn't very fresh tasting either. Perhaps this type of donut has an extremely limited shelf life? Based on other reviews, if I had come at a different time of day when the donuts had just been made, I'd likely have had a different experience. But, if this is one of those food items that needs to be fresh out of the fryer to be enjoyed, that's a problem. It's too much trouble to try to time that out. Other donuts tend to hold up well enough throughout the day, such that it's safe to buy and eat them in the afternoon even though they were cooked early in the morning. Not the case here it seems. I'm not really trying to discourage anyone from giving this place a try. It wasn't some horrible experience or anything like that. So, if you're curious, give it a go, especially if you have kids who like sugar and...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreThe place was a little dirty and run down looking. But i was so excited seeing this place. I saw videos all over instagram of the hot dog and donuts. Boy was it a disappointment. I wanted the pistatio but it was decorated with what looked like fruit loops, i dont know why. Why not pistachios? So I got the triple chocolate becauce i love rocher chocolates. Maybe thats there thing because they all decorated with cereal. The donut had good texture but the chocolate topping was very thin and melting. And unfortunately it was ruined by the after taste of chicken. I assume it was a dirty frier. I also got the regular potato hot dog. You bearly get a tbsp. of ketchup and it kinda lacked flavor so you really needed it. Then i noticed a very creamy white filling I didnt order it with cheese and it didnt taste or feel like cheese. It wĆ s fully cooked so it wasnt raw batter. It kinda looked like mayo, but i dont know. It grossed me out, but I finished it because I was hungry. Maybe the cheeto or another would have had more flavor, but the creamy white "stuff" was too weird to try again. Plus it was over priced. I can see why business was so slow at lunchtime. Its also in a horrible location. Gps was not helpful in finding the place. The cook was friendly that brought me my dog out. But cashier made me feel like it...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreIāve never written a review before but I genuinely feel like people need to be warned not to go to this place. I really wanted to love this place and I was so excited to try it, but the Jefferson road location is disgusting. Iām not talking āsomeone walked in right before us with muddy boots onā dirty floors, this is weeks of sticky, gross, unmopped floors. The bench in the entry way was CAKED with grime, the white tables had so much build up on the legs of them that theyād need to be scraped clean. There was a pair of dirty kitchen tongs on the floor in the bathroom (which smelled like a dead animal, thereās no way it was an.. upset stomach situation.. it was a very distinct rotting animal smell) and I watched TWO employees walk over top of them without picking them up. My three year old wouldnāt even use the toilet, he said he couldnāt hold his breath that long. The sink was stuck on and wouldnāt shut off. Everything from the ceiling to floor was DIRTY, the entire building needs to be shut down. I was so turned off by the lack of cleanliness that I couldnāt eat. If thatās what the front of house looks like imagine the kitchens. I donāt know how this place is legally operating at such disgusting levels but for your own saftey I would not recommend...
