OMG Squee

"When you want impossibly cute pastries that also taste good, head to OMG Squee in East Austin. You’ll find mochi donuts that look like little cat or dog faces, but are secretly just chewy rings of fun. The entire menu is gluten-free, and there’s also a selection of milk and fruit teas, boba, and matcha drinks. We like the classic ube donut here—it’s not overly sweet—but if cuteness is your primary draw, you’ll want one of the rotating specials that looks the most like your pet back home." - nicolai mccrary

"Adorable and delicious, the Texas-Asian sweets shop offers fun soft serve in flavors like Vietnamese coffee, ube, and black sesame (with swirls available). Order them in cup or taiyaki form. Takeout orders can be placed in person; there are outdoor dine-in areas." - Nadia Chaudhury

"When you want impossibly cute pastries that also taste good, head to OMG Squee in East Austin. You’ll find mochi donuts that look like little cats or fish-shaped taiyaki filled with ube and black sesame soft serve. The entire menu is gluten-free, and there’s also a full menu of milk and fruit teas, boba, and matcha drinks. We like the classic ube donut here—it’s chewy and not overly sweet—but if cuteness is your primary factor, you’ll want one of the rotating specials that looks like an animal. There’s no indoor seating—it’s mostly just a small counter—but there are a few tables out front if you want to sit and admire your new cats/donuts for a bit.  " - nicolai mccrary
