Alimama Tea – New York, NY

I wish I could say that I tried some of their famous mochi cream puffs but I didn’t. It was a spur of the moment stop and I didn’t even look to see what they were famous for before going. I did try the regular strawberry mochi donut, pictured above, which is a Japanese rice cake. Let me say that the texture is very chewy which is similar to rice. It was a bit hard to chew for sure. It is gluten free so it’s a interesting take on a donut being that it’s makeup is of rice. I think it’s definitely a try to see if you like it but just know it’s not a traditional donut. I also tried the Passion Fruit Green Tea which was good and you could tell they put time into making their drinks because it was well prepared. If you’re in the area, it’s a must try and it will be very IG worthy.
