Cafe Mochilato

Review based on mochi only. I’m not sure why but the mochi does not seem to be as good as it used to be. I went back again to appease my sweet tooth. I got the usual mango mochi that I always get. In the past — I’ve always liked mochilatos mochi. But this time– it was not very good. It wasn’t even that satisfying it just tasted like the store bought mochi. I’m not sure what exactly is causing this sudden shift in taste but I just want the good ol’ tasty mochi back!

Love this place after dinner! Conveniently located near all the restaurants i love to eat at! The Beard Papas was delicious and the mint chocolate chip gelato!

My friend and I came here by accident. It was a last resort. BUT. It ended up being great. We had a Nutella waffle, mochi, a coffee and a green tea blendissimo. All great. The waffle was heaven. Great place to work and hang out with a friend.

Nice décor. Hip Korean pop music playing. Nice little café and gelato joint.
$ 12 for 6 mochilatto balls. That’s pretty steep.
We tried: peaches and cream, strawberry, raspberry, pistachio, crème brûlée, and the classic mango.
The gelato was nice and creamy inside and the mochi was gummy yumminess! Dusted with a nice layer of potato starch to avoid stickiness.
It’s a once-​in-​a-​blue-​moon place for me. It’s a bit steep for me and luckily I didn’t pay lol
I’ll stick to my freezer section mango flavored 6-​pack from the Japanese market on a normal basis lol

THEY GOT RID OF THEIR WIFI. Food and drinks are over priced. There good wifi was the reason I came, but since they got rid of it, never coming bak again.

Three stars because every time I’m here they run out of mochi ice cream flavors way too quickly. Also because of the (consistently) average customer service.
You’d think that such a sweet place would inspire sweet personalities. Jk lame, but really. Employees here are usually goofing off with each other and then unpleasant towards customers. Unfortunate!

This review is for their gelato.
Came in with my friend on a Monday evening and had the stracciatella and the mint Chocolate chip flavors. Their prices are kinda high ($ 5 for a medium size).
Mint chocolate chip was the better of the two, as they have the taste of mint. The mint was stronger than the rest, but for some odd reason, the taste had a taste of «been there too long ice started to form» taste :(which is when the ice cream tastes harder like it’s been old.
The stracciatella– kinda confused me. It should be some kind of ice cream with chocolate chips right? In the thing, it looked more like a tiramisu (obviously it didn’t taste like tiramisu). The stracciatella– I don’t know, but it wasn’t deeply refined for me as well as other stracciatellas I’ve had, not as rich nor as strong as the others. As for me, I wasn’t a fan :(
My friend says that there are other good desserts that are there that I need to try, so I’ll probably update when I go back, since I feel I’ll frequent Fullerton often.
There’s a lot of space in here for people to sit and relax and talk with their friends.
They also sell mochi :3 and drinks as well~
meow~ factor.
This was also the calm before the storm…

Wow, first time here… and the owner and her son are probably the RUDEST people EVERRRR! The kid told me I’m rude for coming 10minutes before they close… And before leaving they shut the lights off on me. I also watched the kid storm off into the back of the store leaving work.
Yea, maybe they were having a rough day. But they definitely took out their anger on the customer.
1 star for the alright tasting gelato.
…not coming back

Uhh… don’t know what to say.
Very average place, with plenty of mochi flavors (green tea was good) and shaved ice (Korean though).
The Patbingsoo was meh, extremely sweet, with a generic vanilla ice cream scoop on top, it kind of killed the whole dessert with mushiness and sugar overload. It should’ve been delicate, refreshing and rightly sweet. I was told this place had less flavors than the other chain stores.
The latte was subpar.
Not a fan unfortunately.

Three words: Green tea mochi!
This will make your day special. It will make your week special. It will have you saying the words of DJ Khaled «another one».

This place is amazing–
I order the pots and waffle, pot was really good and hug !!! But … Waffle for mochi… Was not my type –my friend like it, but for me … Not sure.
When I try regular waffle that is my type.

Great dessert place that offers mochi ice cream, gelato, macarons, waffles with fruits, and brick toast.
I just ordered 2 full boxes of random mochi flavors. It came out to $ 22 and I finished half within a few minutes. Darn, so small and light, yet so good.
Pistachio was okay, green tea, mango, strawberry, peach, coffee, and taro is good. The only one that I found too sweet was cookies & cream.

Five stars for the coconut mochilato. It is far and away the best one. It’s like eating a cloud. None of the other flavors have quite the same texture.
All the other flavors are three to four stars (we really like the pistachio, a lot of the other fruit ones were a little disappointing). Green tea lattes are tasty here. The macaroon my friend had was pretty disappointing. It tasted like it had been sitting in the fridge way too long.
Overall…3.5 stars. But still, 5 stars for the coconut mochilato. I will come here just for that.

10.50 $ for 6 Mochi ice creams !
The vibe is nice the furniture is nice and I can see it as a place where a lot of groups can come to chill for a long time after eating out. However this place seems a bit pricy. They have a nice selection of different types of gelato ice cream and Mochi ice cream. They serve snow drop shaved ice too but haven’t tried it yet! They also sell beard papa pastries. Wifi provided. Good study place too.

Decent little café. Looks very nice inside (as do their restrooms!). Staff is very friendly. Drinks and food are quite good. Major downer for me is things are a bit overpriced here.
It’s cool that they seem to give you a complementary side of soup with whatever foods you order, but eh. Friend and I got a plate of dumplings, which came with a free side of soup. Dumplings were $ 7. Even though they give you more than I expected, I still wouldn’t pay that much just for dumplings.

I saw the name of this place, and my fat-​kid mentality wondered, could this be true? Could the name be some sort of combination of mochi AND gelato? The answers were YES and YES. All of your fat kid dreams and sweet cravings become reality here.
Mochilato (Gelato ice cream balls in mochi) here are $ 1.75 each, and in an array of flavors like plum wine, pistachio, cookies and cream, peaches and cream, chocolate hazelnut, raspberries and cream, tiramisu, I feel that the price is reasonable when you consider they’re at least $ 5 for a box of 6 at the store, and these are freshly made, larger, and with more variety. I never fully got down with the macaron hype (yes, they have those here too) and these are cheaper and more substantial. We liked the cookies and cream better than peach, the flavor was richer.
They also offer a full menu of coffee drinks, a Beard Papa counter, shave ice bowls (those are $ 8.99 for a small, but huge and means for sharing) pastries, gelato, the aforementioned macarons, and even more. I felt my teeth rotting by looking around, and I was happy about it.
The café is spacious and really cute. Lots of higher-​quality comfortable furniture, like solid wood dining tables, along with plenty of outlets and free wifi, allow you to linger, visit, study, and be comfortable.

Ahhh sooooo good! My review is strictly for Beard Papas Cream puffs. I finally got to try these decadent treats and have to say I was in heaven with each bite! Save $ 1.50 of you buy 6! Total came out to be under $ 14 for 6 large original cream puffs. The cream was soft and not too sugary and complimented the pastry very well. You can also opt for other flavored creams, but since it was my first time, I decided to try their original flavor first.
This café is cute with extra seating for their patrons who wish to chill and chat with with their friends for a bit while they enjoy some tasty treats. They also offer: Paris Brest, macaroons, gelato, mochi, and beverages and small finger food items.
I will definitely return to try other items they offer and am very excited to hold out on trying a mediocre Beard Papas location for this one.

I absolutely love Mochi! Love the texture and the filling, which is ice cream. When I first came here I was super excited to see so many flavors and options to choose from. I had never seen them displayed thru a glass like a bakery! I had only tried the packaged ones from the store or the mini ones used as a yogurt topping.
It’s a bit pricy but super yummy! You pay $ 10.50 for a tray of six. They are larger than the ones you get pre-​packaged and much yummier. My favorite flavors are coconut, raspberry, mint chip and mango! The flavors are strong too.
They also have macaroons and other pastries but have never tried them! Too stuck on my mochi’s!

This is a cute and modern café located in the plaza next to Koba Tofu Grill. It’s spacious, and there’s plenty of tables and chairs to socialize and also play board games! (BYOG = bring your own games)
We ordered the Korean citron tea, which is a traditional tea derived from the yuzu fruit (a type of citrus fruit) that is mixed with sugar and honey and sometimes prepared as marmalade. You can drink this type of tea either hot or cold. Overall, the tea was very sweet, but you can dilute it down with some water. But it is a great refreshing drink for the hot weather.
It’s hard to find places in the OC where you can enjoy drinks and also have ample amount of space (esp tables and chairs) for board games. This is one of the spots I recommend!

I said I wanted some sweets because I needed it, not some «not that sweet» sweets! Everything I tried here were not that sweet, some were even flavorless! The macarons were OK, the textures were not light as a feather, or puffy and crispy enough like French macarons are supposed to be, but the flavors were very good.
Good thing was they have many flavors to choose in Korean rice cake, macaron, ice cream, gelato, and mochi ice cream, some bakeries too. We picked different flavors of macarons such as red velvet, Persian rose, caramel salt, hazel nut, chocolate and some more I can’t remember, they tasted pretty much the same to me. The green tea gelato was so bad, was that even green tea flavor? I think not! Hubby liked his chocolate gelato alright. Some of the assorted mochi ice cream are still in my refrigerator, those I have tried didn’t taste better than the ones I got from grocery stores, huh… Why would they charge more for those?
I am not a big desert person, but whenever I want some sweets, I want something really really SWEET! So I didn’t like what I tried here, they were just not sweet enough for me.
But look at the bright side, at least those «not too sweet» sweets are healthier, less sugar and diary in there, so that’s a good thing I guess. But I still think it was a waste of 40 bucks on those «sweets»!
