Mochii Donut (Chicago French Market) 7.6
West Loop
Vibes: Sweet Treats Escapes Food Hall Frenzy Instagram Worthy Wonders Quick Bites Champions
A mochi-donut counter inside the French Market focused on a chewy-centered donut texture with rotating flavors, plus Korean-style corn dogs for a savory add-on. It’s strongest as a two-item order: one mochi donut flavor you’re genuinely excited about and one shareable corn dog, then stop there. Best for a casual snack run when you want novelty more than classic pastry finesse.
Must-Try Dishes: Ube mochi donut, Oreo mochi donut, Cheese Korean corn dog
