We stopped by Third Culture Bakery just 30 minutes after opening and might've missed the morning rush--but lucky for us, there were still donuts available (and thank goodness, because wow). From the first bite of a perfectly chewy mochi muffin to the dreamy donuts we enjoyed that day and the next, every treat was absolutely delicious. The atmosphere? Cozy and inviting. The smells? Buttery, sweet, and impossible to resist. The customer service? So sweet and accommodating--we felt genuinely welcomed from the moment we walked in. The bakery is tucked in a cute shopping area with spots to wander and walk off a few bites (if you're into balance like that). Delicious, delightful, and definitely worth a return visit. #ThirdCultureBakery #MochiMuffinMagic #SweetTreatsAndVibes #DonutMissThis #BakeryLove #SupportLocalEats #WorthTheCalories

I've been coming to Third Culture with my family for years, and it never disappoints. Their flavor combinations (especially for the waffles) always hits it out of the park. Oh and that mango passion fruit donut is my biggest weakness. Dont sleep on their drink menu either---The ceremonial latte is the best most deep vibrant green you can get anywhere. My perfect, not too sweet, afternoon treat. The staff here are always the friendliest here too. Can't wait to come back

Completely sold on their original Mochi Muffin and original Mochi Donut. The Ube and Black Sesame flavored ones are equally delicious. I've tried other flavors over time but keep going back to these three. It is a perfect afternoon snack for me. I could totally ship these in bulk to family that doesn't live close-by. Not a fan of their drinks. The non-matcha drinks never come out right, and are very weak. I may still go by for an occasional ceremonial matcha drink. Service is ok, and it is a small shop, so not much in the way of ambiance.

For a not-so-hugr mochi fan, these are pretty tasty. Though as expected can be somewhat heavy so can't eat too many at a time. The muffins are a bit lighter texture than the donuts. Lots of flavors to choose from. Other friends who enjoy mochi more think these are quite good, especially if you're looking for a gluten free option. Most still have egg and milk ingredients. Btw to the owners/managers: your yelp elite event worked out since I only knew of this pace from your recent event. So I knew exactly where to go for GF options for a gift. Thanks again

A very low key store compared to the Berkeley location. Arriving close to 9:15am the traffic flow is consistent. Orders: Strawberry Lychee Coffee-strawberry puree is added but I really don't taste the lychee. This combination while unique, really isn't to my liking. Hence, I wouldn't re-order it. Carmel Latte-I am trying to reduce my sugar intake & was suggested to add half the Carmel syrup, but again it was just a little short of giving me the Carmel taste, so I had to ask for more syrup. There wasn't a strong coffee brew either. So drinks here are not to my liking. Chili Oil Muffin-$1 proceed will support Palisade fires & this was a very unique muffin that I enjoyed. The top had an excellent crisp to it & the inside was filled with chili oil. The fragrant aromatic smell of the chili oil made it tantalizing. Glad I had a chance to try this. Vietnamese Coffee Mochi Donut- a light coffee glaze, not enough to give me an impressive "Wow" factor, but the mochi is always consistent in texture. Strawberry Cream Mochi Donut-nice strawberry glaze that isn't too sweet. Love how they celebrate The Lunar New Year & offer special flavors during this time of year.

I heard of Third Culture Bakery many times before from friends or from a boba shop that sold Third Culture Bakery baked goods, but I have never tried it before. I saw on Instagram that they were having black sesame flavored items for just a limited time, so I had to go and try it. I love black sesame flavored foods! I ordered the black sesame mochi waffle, the black sesame mochi donut, the black sesame mochi muffin, and the black sesame latte (hot). Other items looked and sounded really good, but I will need to go back and try them! The black sesame mochi donut was good! I can taste the black sesame on the top, and the donut was nice and chewy! The black sesame mochi muffin was good as well! It was thick and chewy. I could taste the black sesame in the muffin. The black sesame latte was okay. I'm not sure why it looked green, but maybe that's how it was supposed to be? (My sister also ordered that and they accidentally put matcha in hers. They told her they did it by mistake and asked if it was okay). I ordered mine hot and with oat milk. I couldn't taste the black sesame in the drink. When I got close to the bottom of the drink, there were globs of black sesame. Maybe it wasn't mixed well? I'm not quite sure what was wrong. I just know it didn't meet my expectations. The black sesame mochi waffle was okay. The waffle itself was good; I can taste the black sesame, and it was chewy. The black sesame whipped cream , the honey, the bananas, the cacao nibs, and the sea salt helped add texture and flavor to the waffle. It was definitely filling.

Modern, trendy bakery serving mochi baked goods and matcha beverages! With its original location established in Berkeley (I think), this newer Walnut Creek location is within walking distance from Broadway Plaza. They also have their own private parking lot. Their primary selection consists of mochi butter donuts and mochi muffins. I usually opt for the donuts. I'll grab a dozen to bring to family dinners and everyone loves them! They're also a little different from your usual desserts. I wasn't as impressed by my Salted Maple Matcha Latte, but still good. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable!

Third culture bakery is a vibe! They have delicious matcha drinks. My favorite is the salted maple roasted matcha latte. You can really taste the roasted matcha, yum! Their mochi baked goods are also very good and the flavors come through. Can't go wrong with either the muffin or the donut. I especially love the Asian flavors like pandan and black sesame.

I came here for an elite Yelp event and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered three goodies and an iced coffee, which had the iced salted maple latte with oat milk. Everything from the appearance of the store to the friendliness of the cashiers to the actual taste of coffee and goodies was on point. I will definitely be coming back to visit in the future. They have a little store where you can buy a little trinkets and things too. Be sure to check them out if you haven't already!

Mochi mochi galore! Third Culture has been on my bookmarks for quite some time now and I'm so glad one has opened up near one of my offices and I don't have to go out of my way now. The chrome windows make it very bright inside but don't let that distract you from the mochi goodness. I brought my coworkers with me and I loved that everyone got something to try as well! I got the yuzu lemon donut, Vietnamese coffee donut, and the strawberry matcha muffin. We also all got some drinks and I got the roasted matcha latte. I would say I still prefer Hojicha, but the roasted matcha was still good, just on the lighter side. I loved the donuts and the muffin! I was surprised at how much mochi there was. There are some mochi donuts out there that are all dough and very little mochi. They were on the sweeter side but all still tasted delicious. The strawberry matcha muffin surprised me because if you eat the matcha muffin part by itself, it's actually pretty bitter. But pairing it with the strawberry frosting on top was perfect! Next time I'm in town, I will definitely be stopping by to see what new flavors there are!
