Mochi donuts are popping at an increasing number of Columbus eateries, and we’re not mad about it.

The newest spot on that list is PhoVLov Cafe, a Vietnamese eatery located at 1157 Kenny Center Mall on the city’s northwest side.

Made with tapioca or rice flour, this sweet treat (which was popularized in Japan and Korea) creates a donut that’s fluffy but still chewy.Mochi donuts are also available locally at spots like The Mochi Shop, a bakery with an online-based ordering systems that offers weekly pickups, and the recently-opened location of TeaMoji.

PhoVLov Cafe offers more than just these unique sweet treats as well. The new eatery also serves authentic pho, speciality drinks and homemade Vietnamese desserts.
