We’re no strangers to creative cuisine here in Washington, and it’s safe to say we love our decadent desserts.

Jason is partnering with his brother, Michael Le, owner of the nearby goPoke.

You might see matcha Oreo, Fruity Pebbles, Strawberry Shortcake, or Coffee ed Velvet donuts in the case, depending on the day.
Don't be surprised if you have to wait in line for your donuts — they're worth the wait. Because of the shop's popularity, you can't buy more than a dozen at a time, which might prove to be more difficult than it seems.
If you have you heart set on these unique donuts, go early — once the donuts are gone, Dochi closes for the day.
