Alimama

Vegan and gluten-free, Japan’s mochi donuts have fully entered the stateside donut lexicon, delighting many with their stretchy, almost spring-like texture. The donuts come in a variety of flavors, many on offer at charming Chinatown tea shop and bakery, Alimama, from matcha to ube to cereal. Mochi munchkins like royal milk tea and taro round out the menu, and the delicate, flaky boba cream puffs delight in size for what they may lack in pastry weight.
