The first time I got to try Gavino’s donuts (Japanese donuts) was when I attended the Blogapalooza event last November. I scanned their flyers to look for the list of branches, and found that the one nearest doughnut shop in Quezon City was at Landmark in TriNoma. Gavino’s Donuts now has fourteen branches, and this doughnut shop will open three more this December.
Gavino’s Donuts is quite different from the typical doughnut shops we’re familiar with in the Philippines. I’m not saying the donuts we’re used to aren’t delicious, but Gavino’s offerings have a unique character — their texture is noticeably chewier. I believe this is one of the reasons that makes you want to keep reaching for one piece after another.
Their donuts are made with mochi, which explains the extra chewy texture. The Mochi Rings (as their donuts are called) resemble spheres linked together to form a circle.
Meanwhile, their version of munchkins, or small doughnut balls, is called Mochi Balls.
The prices of their donuts are relatively reasonable. Gavino’s Donuts offers both regular and premium Mochi Rings and Mochi Balls. As expected, the premium selections are pricier than the regular ones.
