    Baked goods (Jun 2026)
    Luke L.

    Third Culture Bakery is a popular LGBTQ-owned Southeast Asian bakery known for the original mochi muffin. 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.

    Cool spot in a tucked away area of Berkeley. Yummy mochi donuts and yummy Asian flavored drinks. We got Thai tea and pandan donuts and lychee strawberry soda. The staff were efficient and friendly. Definitely a good spot to hang out and have a coffee in some sun.

    Way too dense for my liking

    Date of visit: 4/19/2026, a day after Cal Day 2026 I might be in the minority here, but I really did not enjoy the baked goods. I made a stop before heading back to LA after Cal Day, specifically to try their mochi donuts and a mochi muffin, and unfortunately both were much too dense for my liking. The moment I had to put effort into cutting through them, I knew this was not the type of mochi donut I would enjoy. To me, a great mochi donut should be light, airy, and chewy. These were much heavier and denser than what I personally prefer. Honestly, until this visit, I did not even realize there were such different styles of mochi donuts. Maybe I have just been spoiled by the many amazing mochi donuts I have had in Southern California and Japan, because those have completely set the standard for me. The mochi muffin unfortunately had the same heavy, dense texture. If that is your thing, you may enjoy it, but for me, both the donuts and muffin were not what I look for in baked goods.

    My friend has tried this place numerous times. I decided to try their limited mango matcha latte with ceremonial matcha. There was a short line. The employee took our order. There was another worker whisking up matcha for another order. The matcha lattes came out in a timely manner. For my mango matcha, it had good creamy mango flavor. Matcha was good as well, maybe it could've been a little deeper in flavor for me. Overall, a good mango matcha latte.

    I got the Roasted Strawberry Lychee Matcha Latte. As usual, the staff is very friendly. The shop is clean and they have matcha to purchase. Thanks for a great experience!

    Spent a day in Berkeley and Third Culture Bakery was our first stop! Came around 1pm and some items were already sold out, so we picked up the Raspberry Lychee Butter Mochi donut, Buko Pandan Butter Mochi donut, Ube Mochi Muffin, and the Salted Egg Yolk Mochi donut. My friend also ordered the Black Sesame Matcha which was ready after 5 minutes. Limited indoor and outdoor seating available. Loved the chewy, dense mochi texture! My favorite items were the mochi donuts as the different frostings on top made them stand out. The Ube Mochi Muffin had good ube flavor and was not overly sweet. This was my first time trying Salted Egg Yolk and it wasn't my cup of tea, but it was well made so if you are a fan of that flavor, you would enjoy this item. Friend said the matcha was pricey but good quality. I will for sure be back! Next time, earlier in the day to be able to try more of the donuts that had sold out.

    Caramel Matcha Latte Ube Mochi Muffin Service was good. Inside was nice. But that's all it got for me. I tried to give Matcha another shot but I just can't get behind it. It's not my thing so I couldn't finish the drink. That Ube Mochi Muffin was good but it barely tasted like Ube. If something is Ube, I personally want the flavor to be there. It wasn't anything. That's so unfortunate. It's not for me. 3/5

    It's been so long so I've been back. After all the SF locations closed of which I visited all I was saddened that my only option was back to the OG location. Is it worth it though....10000% yes! Wanted to get a matcha but the line for drinks was too long. Got the ube, Thai tea and birthday cake donuts. Also the orange five spice, Ube, birthday cake muffins! Were they delicious?! Yes. The texture is what I come back for. More dense than than the mochill and modo varieties. The flavors are strong. And they're still great the next day! Def be back when I'm in the east bay! Come back to SF!

    Iced Matcha Latte with Oatmilk

    Love the matcha here! By far one of my favorite places to go! The drinks are always consistent and delicious, and I absolutely love the pastries--they're fresh and flavorful every time. The service is great. This location is usually busy, but the staff always make sure the drinks are prepared perfectly. Everyone is friendly and welcoming. There is only street parking hard to find parking when it's busy. The ambiance is beautiful and thoughtfully decorated. There's limited seating inside, but plenty of outdoor seating available. I do wish they would expand to the Oakland, San Leandro, and Hayward areas--I'd love to see them grow there one day! 10/10, highly recommend. I'll definitely continue supporting this business!

    Stopped by before my hair appointment and the drinks did not disappoint! I'm a big fan of Hojicha and I was very happy with my drink, I will say that it was a tad bit too sweet but with the ice slowly melting it was good! As for the donuts, I wasn't too big of a fan since the thai tea donut. It was coated with heavy amounts of sugar leaving me wanting to down a cup of water immediately. The flavor was overpowering and the texture was not the best. The line situation inside the store is also a bit tricky since the store isn't that big but they do have some seating outside for you to enjoy your treats. Staff were also super nice and assisted with sharing their specials for the day.

    Very cute little bakery in a quaint area surrounded by other small shops and plenty of outdoor seating! The bakery itself seems to mainly be a takeout spot, with minimal indoor seating which felt pretty inconvenient given the limited space for customers, however it did seem to serve more of a purpose as a waiting area anyways. The structure of the bakery leaves a bit to be desired as well, as we found the glass display cases as the only form of menu, so being in the front of the line while still deciding what to order caused some unnecessary anxiety. Regardless of those nitpicks, the baked goods themselves were pretty good! Service was instant, and all of the treats looked delicious--it was hard to choose what we wanted! Our favorites were the Thai Tea and Ube Coconut Mochi Donuts. Both had really strong flavors--the Ube in particular was very clear in comparison to most other Ube desserts in my experience. The textures of the mochi donuts were really well done too, with soft exteriors and chewy, glutinous interiors. The same can be said about the Mochi Muffins, though with crunchier parts around the edges. We found the contrast of textures to actually work really well! However, the flavors of the Muffins were lacking a bit--the Red Velvet didn't stand out much, with the frosting tasting a bit too sweet, and while the Five Spice had a really interesting flavor, it was also a bit too sweet, drowning out the more unique citrusy flavor. Overall, however, all four of the goods we had were enjoyable eats, and would definitely return some time to try out other flavors!

    My lemon  mochi donut to take home! Nice and chewy. 11/9/25

    I ate some of Third Cultures mochi donuts at the San Francisco Coffee Festival today. O-m-g! These donuts were delicious! I had a Meyer Lemon donut while my friend had a strawberry one. We shared bites and soon they were all gone! I had to buy another lemon one to take home. The counter service was prompt and very nice! The festival was really busy - a lively ambiance - but the service staff were quite calm and focused. The festival had a good mix of coffee and non-coffee beverages - perfect setting for Third Cultures donuts. Def made the event even better!

    Still obsessed, as always. But recently tried the passionfruit matcha spritz! 10/10!! So good. I have also fallen in love with the hojicha strawberry latte. Omg heavenly. Not even a guilty pleasure, just a highlight of each week!

    This tea was very, very good. I would try to find this!

    Third Culture Bakery - Berkeley Reviews in Other Languages

    Ask the Community - Third Culture Bakery - Berkeley

    Per the Q&A, there have been no vegan food options thus far, does anyone know if there are any vegan pastries now (Dec 2024)?

    Do they have vegan donuts?

    Hello, not to sure but I know that everything is gluten free. Their counter products Are also like the Alfajores. I hope this helps. RR-:)

    Are these donuts gluten free?

    Yes!

    How long are the donuts good for thinking about ordering some for a party?

    They said about 2 days. I agree 2 days tops.

    How long is the line to wait?

    Around 5 minutes!

    Anything vegan on the menu?

    Yes

    How should I store these donuts? How long will they stay fresh?

    Freeze them in an airtight container. Thaw when ready to eat. They go stale in about a day.

    Hi I'm creating two donut walls for my grads. What is the width measurement of the donuts?

    On the small end (closer to 3inches, definitely not more than 4inches)

    How long is the wait time for drinks typically on weekends?

    It depends. You can be lucky and have no wait, as happened to me, but moments later the line was out the door.

    Are there no donuts during the week? What is the best time to go during the week if parking is limited?

    There are definitely donuts during the week. There is free street parking and you can definitely find a spot, if not in front then on neighboring streets.

    Are there any vegan dessert options?

    Will it be open on July 4?

    Nope!

    Outside of 10-4 where else can I get their flavored donuts?

    I found some at Boba Guys. And their muffins (matcha, mochi and another one) were also served at Teance Fine Teas in Berkeley.

    Are they open Memorial Day Monday?

    Yes according to their Instagram 10-4pm.

    Does anyone know how much anything costs? There is no amount on anything on the menu nor does it mention the price of the baked goods.

    Mochi donuts are $3.00-3.25 (depends on if it's regular or seasonal flavor) and the mochi muffins and custard cakes are $3.75.

    Can the nutritional facts be provided?

    Oh the people there are super kind and helpful I am sure if you ask for it they will provide you with the nutritional facts. Now you are making me curious hahaha!

    Are there vegan options?

    Nope! I asked them last month. Feb 2019

    Where can you get these Mochi donuts or waffles in SF?

    there are now two locations in sf, one in the mission on Valencia, and one in the sunset on Irving 😊

    Is there seating inside?

    No. Just outside seating.

    Is Third Culture open on NYE?

    Nope, they reopen January 3rd (says this on their recent Instagram post).

They are friendly and welcoming upon entry and allow you to try flavors! When I came in July 2026, they had unique flavors like saffron, lavender, earl grey, and hibiscus among many others! I got a single scoop with two flavors: earl grey and lavender. A beautiful blend together, neither were too sweet or overpowering. Very refreshing during the summer heat.

There was a…read moreline out the door which got me excited because it usually means the place is good, and the reviews say the same. The only issue is there's no clear menu posted online, so we walked in completely blind. Their website shows a long list of flavors but not what they actually have that day, so it felt like a guessing game. The line moved really slow because there was only one employee handling everything. She was taking orders, giving samples, answering questions, and ringing people up all at once. She was super friendly and doing her best, but it felt like a lot for one person during a rush and the shop could definitely use more help. The space is really small and tight so it was hard to even see the flavors until we got close to the front. When we finally got up there, a lot of the tubs were already empty which was confusing since most ice cream shops restock. Some flavors I wanted weren't available anymore, and if they're out it would make more sense to just remove them from display. The dirty containers didn't make sense to display. I sampled the jasmine green tea and knew right away I wanted it. It was creamy with a smooth tea flavor that wasn't overpowering. I got a small with half jasmine green tea and half avocado. The avocado was surprisingly really good, super creamy and tasted like a fresh avocado smoothie. Both flavors weren't overly sweet which I liked. My husband wanted cookies and cream but it was sold out so he got chocolate chip instead, which was solid and creamy with good texture. Overall the ice cream itself was good, not the best I've had but definitely not bad. I like that the flavors lean more natural and not overly sweet. I could see myself coming back if I'm in the area, but the experience would be a lot better with faster service and more consistency with what's actually available.

I finally decided to go inside and think I went a little crazy with ordering.. As you get inside, there are 2 kiosks that you can order on and the ordering process is pretty simple. I got all my food to-go and the wait was about 10 mins or less, so pretty quick! The service was awesome as well! The guy saw me struggling trying to carry all the food, drinks, and my IPad (I got stuff from the gas station prior) and he offered to help and put my drinks in this holder. I ordered the Tiger brown sugar milk tea w/ boba pearls, Hot Cheetos Half N Half corn dog (comes with choice of dipping, I got mustard), 8 piece fried dumplings (comes with soy sauce), fruity pebbles mochi donut, and the strawberry and banana nutella croffle. The milk tea was super good, could never go wrong with a brown sugar milk tea! The hot Cheetos corn dog was crispy and super good as well, however I wish I had eaten it when it was still hot to get that cheese pull... the fried dumplings were crispy and delicious. The fruity pebbles mochi donut was really soft and chewy (in a good way) and had the flavor of a glazed donut. Also the cereal tasted fresh! The strawberry/ banana Nutella croffle was so delicious and tasted like a strawberry/ banana waffle. I think this one had to be my fave. Overall, I paid a little under $40 with tip for all the food and I would definitely go again!

Their sandwiches are probably what first got me hooked. The bread is so good, with a chewy inside and a nice crust, and the fillings are always fresh and flavorful. The combinations are also really well thought out. From there, I started working my way through the rest of the menu. I've had their Kouign Amann, Quiche Lorraine, croissants, baguette, Sourdough Batard, Sunflower Rye Spelt, pretzel buns (you can probably tell I'm a bread person), pies, seasonal radicchio salad, and passionfruit madeleines. Their seasonal radicchio salad has actually become one of my favorites to take to work for lunch. I also love that they rotate the Kouign Amann flavors, so there's usually something new to try whenever I stop by. I've enjoyed almost everything I've had here. One pie was a little too sweet for me personally, but that's really the only thing that comes to mind. I also really like the presentation and the atmosphere. The pastry case always looks beautiful and tempting, and the space feels relaxed and welcoming. It's easy to pop in and grab something, but it's also a nice place to meet friends for coffee and something sweet. The prices feel very reasonable for the quality, which is another reason I keep coming back. More than anything, I just really enjoy having Starter Bakery in the area. It's become one of my neighborhood go-to spots, and I always seem to find another reason to stop by.

The ambiance is wonderful - I absolutely love the deep blue color scheme, the cute matching mugs, and gorgeous plants. They have a lot of different pastry choices, but unfortunately, there was only one vegan option: a tiny hazelnut sweet bread. ​I ordered the bread along with an Americano. When I tried to take the pastry out of the package to share it with my girlfriend, it completely crumbled into a big mess. I went up to the counter to let them know, and the employee told me it was actually meant to be eaten straight from the package. She mentioned it was on the drier side being vegan, she took the crumbled mess and gave me a new one but it ended up having the exact same issue. It wasnt dry, but it just wouldn't hold any moisture and was far too crumbly to eat. ​For $5, this tiny pastry was a major letdown. To make the interaction weirder, she took the original crumbled bread back from me and I'm only assuming threw it away, which felt entirely unnecessary. Having been vegan for nine years, I've had some truly amazing, moist vegan baked goods, so this was incredibly disappointing. While the vibe and aesthetic are great, the vegan options were major letdown. CC accepted Restroom available

We have been extremely loyal customers ever since. They rotate flavors, but through many months and many visits I don't think I've ever tried a bad one. The flavors are also very fun, not your typical cookies and cream, cookie dough, etc. Although they do have a plain version sometimes. The employees are very helpful and kind letting you sample the flavors. Our absolute favorite is tinky winky- ube flavored ice cream with honey comb pieces. They also sell points to the side- take advantage. You'll want more when you're done! The ambiance and vibe of bad Walter's is perfect. Bright colors, disco ball dripping, fun sayings on the cups, the whole 9 yards. The take home pint we got has Reddit "hate" comments and their responses, it's hilarious. This ice cream store is way more of a vibe than any marketing agent could dream of. Who would've thought I wish I could be a rep for an ice cream company? Oh and they also do a stamp card when you buy pints to get a free scoop. You bring in the containers so they can recycle them. It's a win win for both sides, loves it. Best ice cream ever!!!

    This place sells my favorite ice creams in the area, I love the flavors that incorporate fresh…read morefruit (the passionfruit one is great) as well as the more nostalgic, childhood-inspired flavors like Crazy Squares. There are so many inventive options on any given day, and there are always exciting new ones to try at each visit! I was inspired to finally write a review after hearing about some weirdos getting up in arms about a correctly-named ice cream inspired by a local legend, but to be honest this review was long overdue regardless because the ice cream really is worth it. If you're sensitive to lactose at all (even short of being intolerant), you'll most likely notice a difference in how good you feel after eating Bad Walter's compared to other dairy ice creams. I talk about this place to friends all the time, I don't think you can go wrong with anything they have here. Highly recommend subscribing to Sydney's newsletter to get the inside scoop (haha) on the goings-on behind the scenes plus getting the first look at the weekly menu, because sometimes the one on the website isn't updated as often!
