Third Culture Bakery (Eighth Street) ★ 4.4
Original mochi muffin bakery from Sam Butarbutar and Wenter Shyu. Ube, matcha and black sesame flavors rotate weekly. National food press covered.
The original mochi muffin: a pastry that Third Culture Bakery invented in Berkeley, combining the texture of Japanese mochi (chewy, slightly elastic, made from glutinous rice flour) with the format of an American muffin. The outside is crispy from a high-heat bake; the inside is dense and chewy. Flavors rotate seasonally: ube, matcha, black sesame, strawberry, taro. National food press has covered the mochi muffin as a genuine American pastry innovation. Available at the 8th Street location from 08:30 Wednesday through Monday.
