L.A.-based chain Mochinut opened its first San Antonio location just last week, but announced a temporary closure on Wednesday, citing a lack of “crucial equipment.”

The new spot took to Instagram to alert amped fans to the closure, anticipating a two-week wait for reopening.

Prior to the announcement of the extended closure, the spot had closed on Tuesday for maintenance.

Mochinut serves up fluffy, Korean-style doughnuts in flavors such as raspberry, coffee, guava, matcha, banana and ube — or mashed purple yam.

The snack shop, located at 5222 De Zavala Road, held a soft opening on Friday, August 20.
