Lede: From September 21, 2026, Mister Donut Hong Kong will roll out a limited-edition “Rich Banana Chocolate” collection—featuring three new $22 treats—while opening its eighth local branch at Kai Tak’s AIRSIDE on September 28, marking the chain’s first sit-down café with direct-import Japanese drinks.
A Sweet Return: Three New Limited-Edition Donuts
Hong Kong dessert lovers have a fresh reason to queue up. Mister Donut’s latest limited-time lineup centers on banana-chocolate flavor combinations, crafted to appeal to both Instagram-hunters and purists. The new collection, available at all Hong Kong outlets starting September 21 while supplies last, includes:
- Banana Chocolate Fashion ($22) – A curved, banana-shaped “fashion” donut coated in a dual layer of banana-infused chocolate and rich dark chocolate. The exterior is crisp while the inside stays soft—a visual standout for social feeds.
- Banana Chocolate Donut ($22) – A classic ring donut base topped with golden crunchy pearls, then filled with a double dose of smooth chocolate cream and sweet banana jam. Each bite offers contrasting textures: crisp, fluffy, creamy, and fruity.
- Pon de Ring Banana ($22) – The signature mochi-like pon de ring is glazed with banana chocolate sauce and finished with chocolate chips, delivering a chewy, bouncy bite with deep fruit aroma.
All three items are priced uniformly at HK$22, making it an accessible splurge for daily commuters and weekend treat-seekers alike.
A First for Hong Kong: AIRSIDE Outlet Adds Seating and Japanese Drinks
Beyond the new flavors, Mister Donut is expanding its physical footprint with a milestone: Store No. 8 will open at Kai Tak’s AIRSIDE (Shop B134A) on September 28, 2026. Unlike existing branches, this location introduces a dedicated seated area—a first for the brand in Hong Kong—plus a selection of specialty beverages imported directly from Japan.
The move signals a strategic shift from grab-and-go kiosks to a more immersive café experience, competing with established local café chains. For the first three days (September 28–30), early visitors at the AIRSIDE store can receive a complimentary limited-edition “New Banana-Point Donut Lid” for their drink cups, while supplies last.
Context and Implications: Why This Launch Matters
Mister Donut has long been a staple in Hong Kong’s snack scene, known for its glutinous rice-based pon de ring texture. The introduction of a seated format reflects broader consumer demand for experiential dining—especially in newer developments like AIRSIDE, which have positioned themselves as lifestyle destinations.
Food industry analyst Christine Wong notes: “By pairing a playful seasonal menu with a dine-in model, Mister Donut is testing higher average order value. The Japanese drink program also differentiates it from local competitors who rely on self-serve beverage fridges.”
The banana-chocolate combination is not new globally—Mister Donut Japan has run similar campaigns—but its local timing coincides with autumn dessert launches, a period when chains typically introduce cozy, high-indulgence flavors.
What’s Next for Fans
Following the AIRSIDE opening, fans can expect potential limited drops during the store’s debut week. The company has not confirmed whether the banana series will return after stock runs out, so early purchase is advised.
