Mochinut brings donuts, Korean-style hotdogs to Edina, St. Paul
California-based chain Mochinut, which serves mochi donuts, Korean-style hotdogs and bubble tea, added two new Twin Cities locations this month. Mochinut's newest eateries are in Edina, near the intersection of York Avenue and West 66th Street, and in St. Paul's Macalester-Groveland neighborhood. The St. Paul location is under the same roof as the brand-new Hawaiian eatery, Big Island Poke, near the intersection of Grand and Snelling avenues. Hawaii-born mochi donuts are a soft, chewy cross between American doughnuts and Japanese mochi. Mochinut donut flavors include strawberry matcha, raspberry funnel cake, coffee Biscoff and more. Mochinut also serves around a dozen varieties of Korean-style hotdogs, with many featuring cheese and potatoes. The chain has other Minnesota locations in the Mall of America, Brooklyn Park, Lake Street in Minneapolis, Maplewood, Golden Valley and Rochester.
