Finally got a chance to try Nuo Mochi! Stopped in on a weekday afternoon at around 2pm and there…read morewas still a line. Parking is super easy- there's a little free lot in the back. The space itself is small and this is strictly a pick up and go shop. There are a few benches for you to sit on to wait for your order, but nowhere to sit so be prepared for that. You order on a kiosk or can order ahead. All orders are made to order and SUPER fresh! There are several different options of fillings and each piece of mochi is HUGE! This mochi is a Chinese variation, so definitely different from Japanese or Korean types in that it is SUPER soft and chewy. The fillings are all fresh and plentiful! My favorite was the strawberry- Will definitely be back for that one again! These desserts should be eaten the same day and if you're picking up to take these home, you might want to bring a cooler with you if you've got a long drive Back. But definitely lives up to the hype and worth a try!

Very disappointing experience at Nuo Mochi…read more When I arrived, there were no other customers in the store. I ordered 3 mochi and waited about 10 minutes, but my order still wasn't ready. Meanwhile, customers who came in after me had already placed their orders and received their items. When I asked about my order, the staff didn't even know what I had ordered. The order was handwritten, and they had trouble finding it. I honestly don't understand how an order for just 3 mochi could be missed when there were no customers in the store when I placed it. The payment experience was also frustrating. I wanted to pay with cash, but they said they didn't have change and couldn't accept my cash, so I was asked to make a bank transfer instead. The issue wasn't simply the 10-minute wait. It was the lack of organization and basic order management--from taking the order to preparing it and even handling payment. To be honest, the mochi itself was just average as well. Overall, this was a disappointing experience, and I wouldn't come back.

Found this place on Instagram, so we drove down from Pasadena...and it was well worth the drive…read more The store is super cute inside with a fun seating area. I wished we had arrived earlier to be able to enjoy more of the sold out offerings, but next time we'll arrive right when they open. We ordered a dozen crinkle cookies for a Mother's Day lunch - enjoying the sweet ube and the spiced thai tea versions. Both were great compliments to each other - more perfectly sweet and the other a bit more herbal. The chocolate chip cookie was perfect - nice crunchy edges and slightly gooey soft inside. The ube tres leches was a little disappointing as there wasn't any tres leches cake at the bottom, just crumbly graham crackers resting below exquisite ube mousse. It could have been mislabeled, but it was essentially just ube mousse with crumbly graham crackers for texture. The staff were friendly and the store is so fun!

I love dark chocolate and I also like that there was milk chocolate mixed in. The guy that helped me seemed a little lost but it was understandable because he mentioned he was just there to help. He was very helpful and nice. I love the quaint ambiance it made me feel welcomed.

It's a food truck so the vibes are pretty chill and the people here are very friendly and helpful. The prices are really reasonable. I at first thought it was slightly on the price of your side when I got my churros. It was way more than I can handle. The Charles came out fresh and tasty with a nice crisp. They recovered with some sauce and definitely had a couple before I had to put them away and save them for later. Just a great churro truck.

Great taste and you get a good amount of ice cream for the price. They have Sundaes, Parfaits, Dip Cones, Shakes, and slushes. Only thing I thought was strange is that it's Vanilla only. Never been to a soft serve joint that didn't have Chocolate, Vanilla, and Twist. Having said that, real good Vanilla soft serve. Important Note: Cash only

Fyi - it's located on the second floor right next to CPK. It's a small cake shop that can handle a few customers at a time so be patient if you're coming with a group or if it's busy. The employee we interacted with was nice and more than willing to answer any/all questions. We even got to try a free sample of their chocolate cake while we looked everything over. You can build your own customizable cake if you're adventurous with plenty of toppings to choose from. They also have signature cakes if you get overwhelmed and want to keep it simple. My better half and I shared a Strawberry Shortcake. We were both surprised by how good it is! A perfectly moist and tasty treat! They also write your name on the cake box so you can take pics and humblebrag to your friends/family. We like that all the cakes are individual-sized so it's not too heavy. Bonus points for having a lot of gluten-free options! Hope Peace of Cake continues to be successful! They also have online ordering/pick-up available.
