Co-owner Sakeo Williams crafted her version of the mochi donut during the pandemic to boost business for her Thai restaurant. Her naturally gluten-free treats, always served warm and fresh, quickly became a sensation among patrons. This caught the attention of local entrepreneurs and family friends, Greg and Tamara San Agustin. They proposed the idea of launching Colorado Springs’ first brick-and-mortar made-to-order mochi donut shop to share the delectable treats with a wider audience. Recognizing the perfect pairing, they decided to include a drink menu featuring popular boba toppings. Thus, Mochi Thai’m Donuts was born, drawing inspiration from Sakeo’s Thai heritage, wordplay, and her distinctive bun hairstyle. From our open kitchen design to vibrant donut boxes and a sprawling hand-painted mural adorning the walls, our aim is to create an unforgettable and exciting experience for our customers.

Furthermore, we sought to celebrate our multicultural backgrounds—Thai, Filipino, and Guamanian—by infusing our flavors with diversity. Our customers can savor a variety of exotic flavors, including Ube, Taro, Thai tea, Pandan, Passionfruit, and Coconut, among others, ensuring a culinary journey with each bite and sip.

We take great pride in our ability to provide delicious donuts to individuals with dietary restrictions, believing that everyone deserves to indulge in a delightful treat. It brings us immense joy to witness the stories and emotions of our celiac customers as they savor their first taste of our naturally gluten-free donuts. This is the essence of what makes our business so deeply fulfilling. We are truly grateful for the unwavering support of our cherished customers who champion our locally owned small business.
