After getting my allergy shots, this morning, at the Palo Alto Medical Foundation, in Mountain View, I wanted to get some fruit tea to take home. I looked on Yelp and the Mochi Waffle Corner came up. It was just one block down the street and they had a variety of fruit teas besides the waffles. They are located in a small strip mall on El Camino. There was plenty of parking. On the door it said takeout only. When I first walked in, I immediately smelled fresh waffles. It smelled wonderful. I saw two kiosks for ordering and a menu up above. It's very small inside and there are no tables and chairs. To the left there is a pickup window. An employee saw me and kindly welcomed me. I wanted to try their Red Ruby grapefruit tea. I was having trouble finding it on the kiosk menu. The manager kindly came out and helped me. I asked him if the 0% still had sweetness. He said yes and if it was not sweet enough, they could add more. I Needed to order two. So I ordered one first with 0% sweetness and less ice (no extra charge for less ice). I got a text when my drink was ready, which was less than 5 minutes. I tried the drink and it was perfect. Te, the employee helping me gave me a promotional scratcher card. They are celebrating their 9 year anniversary and are giving customers this scratcher, where you can when a prize or a free tea. I was told every card is a winner. That was so nice. Turns out I won a free jasmine milk tea with boba. So I ordered another grapefruit tea, for my husband, to take home. When I went to the pick up window, Te handed me my drink and gave me a really cool keychain of a cup of boba tea with a teddy bear and boba floating inside of it. That was so thoughtful and kind of her to give me that. These red ruby grapefruit teas were the best I have ever tasted. My husband also thought the same thing. They were so refreshing and had real grapefruit pulp and slices inside the drink. I will definitely be back for more and next time I'm getting the waffles. Thank you to the owner/manager and Te for their outstanding customer service and kindness.

Mochi waffles are great ! Very tasty and chewy. Variety of flavors including red bean, black sesame, cheese and corn, etc. Savory and sweet. Drinks not so much, very sweet. I had their Vietnamese coffee and it did not taste traditional. It tasted like an overly sweet ice coffee, unfortunately could not adjust the sweetness. It didn't have that caffeine buzz ! Ube coffee same, though Ube flavor was good. One thing is the food coloring was very strong in my recent pandan waffle. Otherwise such nice service. Super small, order on a kiosk and wait for your text. No seating available.

Cute little shop for mochi waffles, croffles, and fun drinks! There's a 10-15 minute wait for waffles. RED VELVET MOCHI WAFFLE: not too sweet, has some melty chocolate chips. chewy mochi texture SAUSAGE CHEESE CROISSANT WAFFLE: I got it without spice and it was pretty yummy. They drizzle a mayo sauce on top which complimented the sausage well BLACK SESAME ICED COFFEE: good amount of coffee and got me fueled for the day. black sesame flavor was light, and I wish the sesame taste were stronger AVOCADO SMOOTHIE: not too icy, but has a smooth and creamy avocado taste Something was burning as we were waiting for our food and since it's a pretty small shop, we had to go outside to air it out LOL No seating space, only takeout. Workers are very nice and friendly. Would recommend!

Name is so suitable. OVERALL: Why 4 stars? Drinks are HORRENDOUS. I don't know if it's because they misread the label but my 25% sweetness was through the roof, as if it was 125%. Additionally, drink did not taste as described. Likewise, I wish they had a differing selection of waffle flavors to pick from. STRAWBERRY TEA with crystal boba - strawberry didn't taste like strawberry - starting to believe all crystal boba are the same - 25% sweetness was CRAZY sweet - tea didn't taste like tea... tasted watered down with coloring - I appreciate the affordability of toppings and their attempts at using fresh fruit MATCHA WHITE CHOCOLATE MOCHI WAFFLE - I would have much appreciated plain ole simple matcha - has the same flavors for croissant esque waffles - flavors seemed kind of outlandish and American with sprinkles of Asian - combo just had typical items like strawberries, bananas and Nutella...wish there were other options to pick from - tastes delicious hot and lukewarm but not cold... toasting it only toasted the exterior but not the inner partitions - 15 to 20 minutes waiting period forewarned but did not feel like it so it was not too bad SERVICE: two self service kiosks that added a 33 cents service fee. No interaction except grabbing drink and waffle and a quick confirmation of order and "thank you." AMBIANCE: no sitting. Definitely the corner store. Wall partition between workers and kiosks/wait Located in a plaza with a private parking lot. Would I come back? If I were in the area, yes. Their pricing isn't any more than that elsewhere, especially in restaurants. They somehow were able to achieve a chewer texture than elsewhere.

I love the black sesame coffee. It's really tasty. With Mochi Waffle. Great together! :)

I had been eyeing this place for a while and one Sat morning, came here with my bf. We came right when it opened as he needed to get to work afterwards. We arrived about 5 minutes after 11 and there was already a short line to order! Wow. When it was our turn, we ordered at the kiosk and came back outside to wait. The drinks (strawberry matcha for me and dalgona coffee for the bf) came out quickly, but we had to wait 15-20 mins for the pandan waffle (with strawberries) I ordered. Once we grabbed that - my bf decided he wanted to try the croissant waffle, so we waited another 10 mins or so. Everything came out looking very nice. I enjoyed the presentation of my pandan waffle in the box - too bad I wasn't able to eat it until a little later, as we had to drive back so my bf can get to work. It tasted pretty good, but maybe I missed that golden time when it was warm and crispy. Overall, the pandan waffle wasn't the best I've had, but the croissant waffle was good. My bf gobbled it down. I enjoyed the strawberry matcha drink, but I probably wouldn't come back for it. The strawberry portion was good and when mixed in - pretty tasty. But, I think it needed something else - once all the strawberry was gone - the matcha was somewhat bland. My bf thought the dalgona coffee was good; I didn't try it as I don't drink coffee. Overall - a cute, very small shop. You go in, order and take out. There's an option to order online so it's ready when you get there. You can also order in person at the kiosk, but I don't think you can order with a staff member. I would come back and try some of the other waffles, but maybe not the drinks. I like matcha, but it's not my favorite - maybe it would be a hit for someone who enjoys matcha more.

It's Friday morning when Bro and I came upon a Vietnamese mochi waffle shop that's been around for over four years wasn't even aware there was one located in a small tightly knit plaza. Upon entry there's two self-service kiosk whereas we placed our orders one hot ube, one egg coffee and two pandan mochi waffles payable by credit/debit card there's no cash transaction no tipping though is optional. We can observe the young lady at the pickup window as she made our waffles. They came out hot,crispy and chewy no toppings as we requested. There's no room to be seated its mainly take-out and our wait was less than 15 minutes. She placed our orders in the bag and two drinks in a large bag with straws. Definitely be back so support your local business.

I ordered right when they opened on a weekday. Unfortunately their online ordering system was off that day because they didn't get my order until I actually in to pick up. Two other ladies came in afterwards and they also had to wait for their online orders too. The cashier tried to apologize to one of the ladies since she was in a rush ... Other than that, their pandan waffles and black sesame waffle was good. Chewy texture and soft within..Eat it freshly made is best!

I stop by Mochi Waffle Corner whenever I go to Best Buy, since it's a short walk from there. It's one of those hidden gems you might not even notice while driving down El Camino Real. In my most recent visits, I tried these four drinks, and they're all really good! Pistachio Coffee, Ube Coffee, Black Sesame Coffee, and Smores Coffee. They allow you to add toppings to all their drinks, hot and cold. Pistachio & Ube were my favorite, preferring them over the Black Sesame & Smores. But TBH all of their drinks are very good. I need to try their mochi waffles one of these days. Parking is easy here. This is a no frills take out place, order at the kiosk and wait for your drink, there's no seating inside.

We really enjoyed our visit to Mochi Waffle! The drinks were great--our favorites were the lychee and strawberry slushies, both super refreshing and flavorful. I also tried the mango milk tea with boba, but it wasn't as good as the others. For the food, we had the ube waffle and the pistachio croissant waffle, and the pistachio was hands down the ultimate favorite! Perfectly flaky, nutty, and sweet--it's definitely my new go-to treat here. There isn't much in the way of service since you order from a kiosk, and the ambiance is more of a simple order, wait, pick up, and dine kind of setup. Still, I'd come back for the slushies and that pistachio croissant waffle. Overall, a solid 4-star experience.

Good mochi waffles, decent drinks. The pandan mochi waffle was a strong favorite as the flavor was fragrant and strong. Made fresh, so it is nice, chewy, and hot! The other waffles we tried (black sesame, red bean, taro) had a varying amount of flavor you could taste. I wouldn't recommend red bean as there were just a few red beans in the waffle (it's not a paste, literally just some beans thrown in so there's not much flavor imo). The waffles are nice to take home and dress up with fruits and ice cream for a nice sweet treat. The original croissant waffle was sweet and doughy, yum. The drinks were just ok, kind of refreshing but not my favorite. The thai coffee frappe was tastier than the dalgona coffee, the dalgona tasted like very burnt ash. Maybe some other drinks are a better choice. The store is for to-go, there is a screen for you to order from. Friendly staff.

Pleasantly surprised by this dessert spot. The pandan waffle was chewy on the inside but had a nice crispy exterior. It was sweet but it wasn't over bearing. I loved eating the waffle with the strawberries and condensed milk. My boyfriend got the croissant combo with Oreo pieces. Super delicious but def a lot sweeter if you prefer it. Service was quick. We ordered and picked it up about 10 mins later. It's takeout only.

AMAZING!! Where has this mochi waffle situ been all my life?! They will come and set up the waffle party as part of the cater service...excellent friendly service! Not too sweet, just the perfect balance between crunch and chewy goodness...don't sleep on this, must try everything on their extensive menu..
