The lady at the counter was super nice and personable. She was easy to talk to and friendly. She asked if we wanted our treats warmed up but since I was taking mine home, she recommended to heat it up for 45 seconds at home. Thank you!! I ordered: * black sesame mochi muffin - nice chew, great sesame flavor, and not too sweet * churro mochi muffin - covered in cinnamon sugar, so good. Great texture as well. * banana bread pudding - looks so ooey and gooey! I took an edge piece because I like the chewy crispy texture. Love to return when I'm back in the area.

Third Culture Bakery is a popular LGBTQ-owned Southeast Asian bakery known for the original mochi…read moremuffin. All baked goods are 100% gluten-free since the opening of the bakery. Their mochi donut is a butter mochi-style donut that is baked and not fried. The bakery currently has two brick-and-mortar locations - a showroom in Berkeley and a matcha cafe in Walnut Creek. [Parking]: Easy and free street parking in this part of the neighborhood. [Atmosphere]: This is a takeout only bakery with limited outdoor chairs. Our party ended up eating baked goods in the car. [Menu]: Yelp's top highlighted items include Black Sesame Mochi Donut, Mochi Waffle, Ube Mochi Donut, Banana Bread Pudding, and Matcha Mochi Donut. *** Ube Mochi Donut ($3.75): Crunchy and chewy texture, but ube was a bit sweeter than I would have liked. Black Sesame Muffin ($4.75): Slightly better than the mochi donut, but black sesame flavor was not distinct enough. *** Overall a solid 3.5 stars for both donut and muffin.

Whatever you do, do not book an event here. Customer Service is entitled, condescending and rude…read more My daughter was planning a baby shower so we called a number of venues to get a quote. We had been to Tarocco for lunch and figured we would ask them for a quote, too. My daughter warned me that the owner is trying to be an "influencer" on Instagram and posts photos of herself in crop Tops so I should beware, but that's fine by me. We called to get a quote and had a discussion. After we gave the owner all of our information, she told us she wouldn't give us a quote unless we came in person (?!) Which is weird because this isn't how restaurants work. Typically for events restaurants will give you a quote via phone or email for the sake of convenience. We had gotten 3 quotes already from other restaurants via phone. Making us drive 45 mins just to get a quote is a total waste of time. Especially if we can't afford it. So my daughter called again, left a VM explaining we couldn't come in person due to time constraints, and again asked for a quote. No reply. We waited a few days and called again. No reply. Finally we got a voicemail from the owner saying that she didn't like my daughter's attitude ?!!! Apparently you're not allowed to ask this restaurant how much they charge for events unless you're face to face. This lady has absolutely no idea how to run a restaurant. We took our business elsewhere and recommend that you do, too.

Got to try this spot for brunch, and we only had to wait about 5-10 minutes before being seated…read more Since it was our first time, the staff was super helpful and informative about the menu. I ordered the Sai Oua lava egg plate, pork jowl on the side, and khanom krok. First of all, holy hell, that egg was SO soft and yummy. I loved how it was prepared--the texture was amazing, and it was seasoned to perfection with such a savory flavor. The sausage was good, but the pork jowl was where the meal really shined. Next time, I'd definitely get the grilled pork jowl lava egg plate instead. I can be pretty picky with pork, but this one melted in my mouth and had so much flavor. The khanom krok was beautiful and a great dish to order if you have friends to share it with. For me, one bite was more than enough as a sweet little dessert at the end of the meal. Their jasmine Thai tea was also really tasty. :) I'm so glad I finally got to try this spot and would definitely say it deserves all the hype!

The lava egg is definitely worth the add on if you were planning to get one of the other items that does not already come with it. the lava egg was so soft and fluffy and flavorful!

The coconut cakes were also such a pleasant surprise because I was not sure what to expect but they were light and so good!! It comes with a variety of toppings including yam, coconut, corn, and green onion. I need to go back soon!!

The mushroom and Nopales empanadas were absolutely divine, the carne picada was to die for. My kids said the Chorizo was super yum as well, and the peach one was chefs kiss!!! The smoothies were so yummy and refreshing, we got the Mango Banana, Strawberries & banana and the Açaí one which was perfect. The service was super friendly, and I will make sure to stop by again next time we are in town.

Once we got tired of eating salty, we switched to the Coconut French Toast and it was also very tasty; the coconut flakes were such a great addition to something so standard. I would come back again and get these two things again because that's how good they were. Overall, 4.6 stars for me and I definitely will be back!

My friend who rarely insists on eating at specific places insisted we come, a previous girlfriend was in the food industry and they have this place bookmarked for awhile. They described it as "healthy california food". We came on a Friday morning around 9:20 am and it was pretty crowded. You can't park right in front but there was plenty of street parking on the weekdays. Inside, its intimate and cozy and there is also a nice seating area outside with lots of dog-owners hanging out. Everything we had was great quality with choice ingredients where you could actually taste the difference. Buttermilk Biscuit Sandwich: herb butter, roasted seasonal vegetables and onions, soft-cooked egg, and greens. Surprisingly filling, we were trying to share a bunch of little bites but ended up getting one each of these. It's fine as a stand alone mini breakfast! Frittata: pastured eggs, assorted vegetables, caramelized onions. WAY too good! we all love this one. Herb-Dijon Biscuit: Excellent savory biscuit, you can taste the high quality butter used.

It was pretty hard to pick from the menu items, but I settled on the Frittata with a side of Fennel Sausage, sourdough toast and a Arnold Palmer. Although the seating was full, thank goodness out food came out just as some seats were emptying out. It was a chilly day and the outside seating was full too. The service was without any complaints. They did their best to accommodate all patrons despite it being very crowded and crazy busy. Overall I would come back here, probably right as the doors open to be guaranteed a place to seat and not have to wait and hope for a seat. Oh the music was on point!! Put it on your list, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
