Umaido [Yummy Mochi Donuts] finally opened in 555 Balmoral, after what seemed like a delayed renovation following 5 Star Pho's closure.
Cute shop, looks like a lot of modern dessert or boba shops, clean bright and friendly. They are in a really rough location, I don't know what the market is like for $3+ fancy donuts is around there, but I can attest to them being absolutely delicious.
The only downside is that you can only buy them in threes or sixes (even though their containers only hold two or six, which leaves you holding two containers for an order of three, I hope they change this), which costs ~$15 or ~$30 per order. I feel like being able to order twos would be better for take-out, dates, and lowering the price of entry.
Overall, I hope they do well, as the product is great, and lord knows that stretch of Col-Isa-Bal needs some places that aren't dumps. Being right next to the 546 Architecture's meth and prostitution den is pretty big disadvantage if you're not Jumbo Pizza or the beer vendor. Luckily, university students love fancy desserts and bubble tea, if they're brave enough to go that far North.
