The ice cream is creamy and smooth and not too sweet. There is always a flavor for everyone to try! The workers are also always super kind and attentive. There are a few tables and chairs inside to enjoy your ice cream while looking at all the fun paintings on the walls. I recommend checking this place out if you are in downtown Columbia!

For example they had a cookies and cream flavor unlike the common recipe and uses chocolate ice base. I also tried the London Fog tea flavor which was unique and very bright on the tongue. There were a few dairy free and vegan options but not many. You can check their facebook or call ahead to see those selections if needed. The shop offers ice cream scoops in all sizes and even kids eat free with an adult purchase. There is seating in the shop and outside for good weather days. It is pretty accessible as the front door and bathroom doors were light to pull open. The view to see the ice cream selection was at a reasonable height for folks in wheelchairs and kids to see everything well. This shop is very LGBTQ friendly and offers as a great space to gather for everyone who wants to enjoy a sweet treat.

The waiter was very polite and refilled our drinks a couple times. The reason it was not five stars was because of the food and the price. It was higher priced for food that was just okay.

When I called on the phone Gavin was very helpful and patient as I have dietary restrictions. I ordered a soup that was vegan and gluten free ( Beet, Apple etc) and I ordered what I thought was a nice green salad only to see Parmesan sprinkled all over it even though I was clear that I was gluten free and dairy free. They took out the croutons but not the cheese. Gavin apologized and did a refund but i was surprised that he didn't offer to make things right but offering me something else as it wasn't my mistake and I had to drive all the way back to return the salad to get a refund. I don't blame him at all and I was wondering if this is managements policy ? Again I don't wish to knock Him at all as he was super busy at lunch time and mistakes do happen.

It's also downtown and within a walking distance of a bunch of cute places so it's a nice stop in spot. The frozen yogurt was super good and i've come here multiple times without any issues. However in my boyfriend's cup, he found a hair after a little bit of us eating. That was a little off putting so I feel like if people are going to be serving the froyo, maybe hair nets should be a priority. I am giving the benefit of the doubt that this is a fluke because I really like coming here and it's the only time it's happened, just going to be paying more attention to them making it if I ever decide to come back.

A Mixed Bag at Mochi Mochi in Columbia…read more My recent visit to Mochi Mochi in Columbia, Missouri, offered a blend of experiences. The vibes were okay, complemented by some decent art inside the establishment. Ordering options were convenient, allowing customers to choose between using a kiosk or interacting with the cashier. Navigating the menu, which includes teas, smoothies, and customizable sugar levels, presented a unique challenge. Determining the ideal sugar amount can be tricky, adding a layer of complexity to the ordering process. The chicken wings, while well-cooked, fell short of expectations. Despite ordering a specific style, they arrived fried with the sauce on the side. Tossing them myself was not the anticipated experience, and the sauce struggled to adhere to the wings. On a brighter note, the Mochi Mochi donuts stood out, offering a delightful variety of flavors. The different types of donuts were a highlight of the visit. Parking, fortunately, was hassle-free with a accessible parking lot available to everyone. While the experience had its ups and downs, Mochi Mochi provides an intriguing spot for those seeking a diverse range of treats and beverages. All in all, I'd maybe go back but I wouldn't go out of my way for it.
