Mochi

This is such a cute little cafe right in the heart of Irvine. They've got SO many flavors of mochi, gelato that's made in-house, and even Beard Papa's cream puffs! I saw that there was a Dubai chocolate cream puff but didn't get it this time but will have to come back for it. Their matcha drinks are surprisingly really good, we got the double matcha and yuzu matcha tonic, and a strawberry matcha milk snow to share. But OMG this is like blind box heaven. They have so many kinds of Sonny Angels and Smiskis, it was so hard to choose one for my first one! Thanks for reading! ^-^

This cafe is aka (also known as) Beard Papa's. They are one in the same and they are fantastic. The atmosphere inside is always super cheery. I've been here a number of times. They have a whole shelf of blind boxes and other K-pop or K-pop adjacent merch that's impossible to resist and I've set up shop with my laptop a few times and enjoyed my coffee and cream puff while I work. It's a lovely atmosphere and I like to eavesdrop just a little bit on the on the conversational Korean because I'm learning.

This dessert shop is truly a hidden gem! The customer service is outstanding—everyone is so friendly, polite, and efficient. We placed our order quickly and tried a variety of items. The Snow Bowl stood out as the highlight of our visit. We ordered the Mango Snow Bowl, Matcha Snow Bowl, and Taro Snow Bowl, and each one was absolutely delicious! We also tried a couple of their mochis, which were fresh and flavorful. The interior design is charming and cozy, making it a great place to relax. They have adorable cat and flower paintings on the walls, complemented by colorful seating—a pink sofa, a yellow leather couch, a blue sofa, and some wooden elements that add warmth to the space. It’s Instagram-worthy for sure! One thoughtful touch is the large jar of ice water in the corner, which is perfect for refreshing yourself after indulging in sweet treats. The location is 14310 Culver Dr Suite #E, Irvine, CA 92604, situated in Heritage Plaza. Parking is very convenient as the plaza provides ample parking spaces, so you don’t have to worry about finding a spot even during busy hours. Everything was nearly perfect, but I did have a couple of small concerns. Some items on the menu weren’t available, which was a bit disappointing. Also, the Snow Bowls came with red bean topping by default, and we weren’t asked if we wanted it. Personally, I’m not a fan of red bean, so that’s something I’d recommend asking customers about during the ordering process. That said, the overall vibe of this place is fantastic! It’s quiet, positive, and a great spot to hang out with friends, enjoy dessert, or even study or work. I’ll definitely be coming back to make more content and try other menu items. Highly recommend this place!

I have a huge sweet tooth and this place nails all the points I love in a dessert spot! From ice cream to cream puffs to macaroons! Lots of flavors and they tasted fresh. Not stale or flavorless. My all time favorite is the Ube and matcha creamed puff. The location was small, clean and friendly staff which made this place a great spot to relax and enjoy a treat.

Great desserts, no doubt, but different story on the staffs, no eye contact or greeting from them. After waiting about 7-10 minutes, we got our order. Their fork, spoons and, knife trays were empty so I asked for few forks to the person over the counter, a short guy with glasses was saying something like "you can get them from the next door". I could be wrong since it was echoing in side the store. But then I had to show the other staff that their silver trays are empty, and that’s how I got few forks.

Great Place to have a desserts. I tried Cream Puff tasting was sweet but not to sweet, purenperfection. I also tried the chocolate macaroons which was perfect chocolate, I also tried the deal of 5 mochis which were delicious. The Jasmine milk Tea was not as well as some others it was warm and tasted watering.Place was clean and well organized. The bathroom were clean besides the toilet. At first when I enter the place it smell like sweat but then after a little it smelled better. The person who attend us ,the cashier she was forgetful ,not focused and seem like she didn't know how to do her job. Other than that it was pretty amazing! I would recommend this place but need better cashiers! Ice cream was super delicious and wonderful. I am so going back here!

Good place in the area to visit , it’s very popular among Asians , for Asian style of bakery and coffee . I could not relate to it but I would call if lack of my understanding or taste . Over all good coffee and good sitting location for a small groups z
