Fill Bakeshop - Costa Mesa

Update 06/04/23: I'm sad to update my review, but some change happened at this place, and it's just not the same. The flavors aren't as creative and don't change as often. And the quality has gone downhill. The last two times I've gone, my doughnuts have looked nothing like what they promote on their social media. Barely any toppings and messy. I tried the ube tart, and the crust was raw. This used to be one of my favorite places in OC, but I'm not sure I'll be back.Original review: I tried Fill Bakeshop for the first time on their two year anniversary. I underestimated how popular this place was and ended up waiting in line 1 hour and 20 minutes (I got there 10 minutes before they opened)! But oh were they worth the wait. I lived in Japan for a while so I know a thing or two about mochi doughnuts, and these are spot on! So mochi mochi. The salted potato chip was the best, unfortunately it's not a regular flavor. But I do enjoy watching their Instagram for new flavors (like the pandan one, so good). I would recommend arriving a little bit before they open on the weekends to avoid the line. Parking is also fairly limited, so that's another reason to go early. I love this place and can't believe I waited so long to try it!

YOU HAVE TO TRY THEIR PIE!! It's basically a giant ube egg tart and it is absolutely the best thing there!!

We've come here several times, and it has been consistently delicious. We were excited to see mocha cookies this time too! The donuts have always been so yummy. What I love is the chewy texture, and the sweetness level is never over the top. My favorite flavors are the taro, Oreo, guava. The cookie was the same chewy texture and not too sweet. The prices are a bit high but overall so delicious!

The best mochi donuts I've ever tried! I also really like the texture and taste of their mochi cookies. In addition to being delicious treats for yourself, their donuts and cookies also make great gifts! If you're planning on visiting, I recommend ordering online ahead of time so that your order is ready for pick up once you arrive. I really wish I lived closer to Fill Bakeshop so that I could visit more oftenn, so fingers crossed that they'll open a location in SGV one day :

I've been wanting to come here for a while because I heard it was good, so naturally I needed to see what the hype was about. I read reviews where people said the line was long and parking was limited, but that was not the issue for us. We went on a Friday afternoon, too. It just depends on your luck. The downside to this place is that they close so early. The mochi donuts are so flavorful and made just right. For instance, if you get matcha, you can definitely taste the flavor of the matcha. I like how strong the flavor is of whatever you order. Overall, this place is worth trying or if you ever need your mochi donut fix!
