I was very impressed with the food and drinks offered. I found my new favorite boba shop that was the best i ever had. It’s made right in front of you and comes out soft and warm in a fancy sealed cup. My kids who are Gluten Free & Nut Free, were able to have anything in the store. So happy to find this place. The main entrance was from the back parking lot. Cant wait to go again

I absolutely LOVE Uncle Mochi! The vibes are amazinggggg- cozy, fun, and just the perfect place to hang out or get some work done. What makes it even better is how unique their menu is. They always have the coolest, most creative drinks and food options that you can’t find anywhere else. Every time I come, I find something new to try, and it never disappoints. Definitely my go-to spot, and I recommend it to anyone looking for a place with great energy and even better food & drinks!

My son had the churro waffle and the vitamin c refresher (lemon flavor) and they were both delicious. He's a big fan of the place. The owner and ppl at the counter are very kind as well. We will definitely be coming again.

So I went to this gluten-free dessert spot and, no cap, it was amazing. I honestly thought gluten-free stuff would be, like, kinda dry and sad, but nah, these treats were FIRE. The cookies? Perfectly soft. The cupcakes? Literally melted in my mouth. I don’t even need gluten anymore, this place has me hooked! If you’re into sweet stuff like mochi pancakes but need to avoid gluten, this place is a must-try. 10/10 would go back again!”

Super friendly staff, sensitive to food allergies and eager to have you enjoy their offerings. Enjoy!
