Mochidoki UES

First time visiting but won't be my last! There were 4 vegan options for the regular mochi and one vegan option for the "special" one. Considering there was only like one other review that mentioned vegan option but no other detail, I had to investigate for myself. I was very pleased to have 5 options. I got the passion fruit regular and the lychee rose cream cheese (?) special one...I think that's what it was at least. Either way, it was beautiful and delicious. My friend and I enjoyed them!! Staff was also very welcoming and kind ❤️

OH MY GOD! this is the best thing I’ve ever eaten - and I don’t even like ice cream… Their everything bagel flavor is unique and delicious, the chocolate hazelnut has hazelnut chunks in it…. but the absolut winner is the earl grey flavor, I’ll be coming back for that!

Really enjoyed the mochi ice cream bites we got from Mochidoki. We didn’t know what to expect when we walked into the store but was pleasantly surprised by the flavours offered. The prices were higher than what we would have liked but worth the try for sure. They also offer matcha drinks which we are definitely going back to try.

One of the greatest low-calorie Japanese desserts, Mochi, is available here in the best quality! The passion fruit flavor is a must-try if you're a fan of sour tastes. They also offer very good matcha drinks, and you can order your mochi to go in a cute refrigerator bag!

I just walked by and dropped by to try. I don't normally like chewy Mochi but I was kinda in a mood to try. It was actually very very good and fresh. It is a bit pricey per each but it's delicious. Customer service was excellent too. I will definitely go back to try other flavors.

This place is near Lexington avenue and it’s really nice. Kinda small, well kept. We got a bunch of mixed flavors and they have both vegan and non vegan options. I really like the vanilla chip flavor. Def recommend.

perfect, each flavor tasted exactly like how you would expect. The salted caramel and birthday cake were my favorite out of the four I tried!!

Ordered two flavours, got the matcha one and mango mochi. The matcha one was incredibly delicious. Could tell a quality matcha is used. The mango one was ok! Had better mango mochi

It was just ok. Just walk a little further and get the Trader Joe's frozen box. It's an ice cream desert out here so I guess points for it existing?

This place was a decent find! They have a wide variety of flavors for mochi and also these unique options for special creations. The regular mochi is about $3.75 per mochi treat. The flavors are incredible! I ended up getting the triple berry which was pretty fresh for the summer. The only thing though is that for the price, I wish they had a few more tables for people to stop by and eat their desserts. IG: QueenOfAdventureNYC

Absolutely delicious!! Mochi is one of my favorite desserts and these were some of the best I've tried. Surprisingly, the vanilla chip was my favorite one. The vanilla flavor was so rich. All of the other flavors were amazing, even the chocolate habanero which tasted similar to a chocolate covered cinnamon bear. Interesting flavor but surprisingly good. The only thing I will say is it's pretty pricy for what you get. Each of the 4 packs are $14 which seems pretty steep. But for this quality of mochi I would come back!

Small spot that will have delicious mochi ice cream. I got the berry bliss (?) which is a strawberry mochi with a top layer of chocolate and dried strawberry. Delicious. Pricey - for sure ($5.99) - but delicious! Their regular mochi ice cream is cheaper but worth a splurge for a small, sweet treat!

My fiance surprised me with a box of mochi ice cream from mochidoki when we met for lunch. They were beautifully presented and the packaging ensured everything would stay in place. He picked them up and then walked to meet me. They had melted a little since it was so hot. However, the ice cream didn't leak through the mochi so we were still able to eat it. Any ice cream that did fall out was caught in the little wells so it didn't make a mess. The flavors he ordered were matcha, triple berry bliss, cake batter and sweet potato. They were all very good. The ice cream was smooth and the mochi was perfectly chewy. The flavors were accurate and none were too sweet. The triple berry bliss one had a little shell of white chocolate on it and I really liked the contrasting textures. I think the matcha one was my favorite from the set. I'm sure the recommended experience is to eat at the store. (I would usually be wary to take anything with ice cream to-go.) However, I commend them for being able to make the to-go experience pleasant as well. If you're on the fence about taking them a short distance, they will make it! I see they also have sundaes incorporating different flavors. I would like to try those in the future.

Great spot! Mochi is delicious! Bubble tea I accidentally mixed flavors, so not entirely sure. I love that you can add espresso into it! It's a small store but active even on weeknights. The gentlemen working at night was very kind and attentive.

Quite the pricey treat, at almost $4 per one tiny mochi. You're paying for the high (hopefully) quality vegan product. Coconut, mango, passion fruit, and lychee mochi flavors were tart and sour. Too sweet though. That sweetness overpowered the sourness, making one mochi almost too much for your palette to stomach & enjoy. Good to share with someone, so you get a bite and feel done with the sugar rush for the night. I was bouncing off walls for hooouuurs after tasting four mochi. And I mean HOURS. The sugar rush was manic. And that was at the end of a very exhausting workweek, when I was falling asleep and thought nothing could revive me. But all that sugar did the trick. Wouldn't return again, but to each their own. If you have an intense sugar craving and need a vegan dessert, this could be it.

Yummy mochi - only con is how expensive it is. Around $3 a piece. You get a habanero chocolate one for free for one entire purchase though which is decent. Friendly staff and fast service! Highly recommend trying green tea/matcha mochi and salted caramel mochi.

Melt in your mouth mochi ice cream and refreshing matcha latte sweetened with brown sugar. Perfect on this crazy humid and hot day.

I like this place. With a selection of great drinks. I ordered the Sakara Cherry with oat milk, I got there's mochis. One was sesame and the other was with the hot honey. I got a free one that was good as well. It's nice to end dinner with a dessert that you can take out. They give you a box with a toothpick to eat it with. All of the flavors are interesting and different so it's not the standard selection you usually find. The store is in Midtown East on Third Avenue.

The mochi was so tasty and service was really good,the ambience was so nice as well,the only bad thing is there is no seating inside only outside but just rocks other than that i loved it i took my bf there & he loved it too.. i really liked the lychee and matcha and he also loved the matcha and black sesame 10/10

Unique flavors of mochi ice cream. They are on the expensive side. I tried one passionfruit mochi ice cream and loved it! Great for a cool sweet snack after a long walk. The lady behind the counter was super helpful. Unfortunately, they were out of bubbles/boba so no bubble tea, which was what I was actually craving, but the mochi ice cream hit the spot too. It's a bit dark inside. They do have some seating outside, but I didn't notice any place to hang out inside when I was there. Happy eats!

Expensive for a tiny mochi ($4 per piece on average), but they are delicious. You need to think of them as gourmet! And it's true that you don't see these flavors in your typical supermarket mochi ice cream aisle. I got the salted caramel and rose lychee cheesecake and enjoyed both. I wish the ice cream was more solid but it might be a personal preference. PSA there is no seating inside, just a few chairs right outside under the scaffolding (and no tables)

Over the past few months, I probably have walked past this little store a dozen times without even realizing that it was there. It is hidden behind lots of scaffolding that seems to have become a permanent feature of our ever evolving city with never-ending construction work. There is not a wide array of mochi ice cream flavors, but the limited variety they do have is pretty good. The pistachio ice cream mochi has bits of actual pistachio (not just artificial flavoring), and the raspberry white chocolate ice cream mochi has crunchy white chocolate shavings, which add a textural dimension to the chewy mochi and the creamy, velvety ice cream. Now that I have discovered this spot, they will be seeing plenty of me.

Delicious ice cream mochi on a hot day in nyc. We ordered 12 mochis but my favorite two were the hazelnut and the cake one. I also liked how they give it to you in an insulated bag with an ice pack to keep it cool on the way home.

Tried this place when in NY. The pace was leaking water from the ceiling and ruined the atmosphere of the experience. For those that never tried this - ice cream mochi is what they sell. Everything is frozen and should be eaten shortly after purchasing. Loved all the flavor choices they have but they did not have everything in stock when I came. Pricey but worth the try to experience.

Mochidoki is pretty extraordinary. With around 15 different options from sweet to savory they really have something for everyone. Even everything bagel mochi which by the way is incredible and I'm not even a big everything bagel fan. It does come with a price. 1 mochi is $3.25, 4 is 12 and 12 is 30. They even offer dry ice if you are traveling home. It's the kind of place you may go once to try and find yourself finding reasons to walk by to try it again.

Hidden gem for sure! On our way back from grocery shopping, we walked passed this mochi store. It's truly small but mighty! They have many flavors to choose from and also have some seasonal ones. Because of its ice cream wrapped in mochi, you gotta eat it fast. Each one is small and light but enough to fulfill a little bit of sweet cravings!

I'm a lifelong mochi fan and Mochidoki did not disappoint. The taste, texture, and consistency of the mochi is better than many I've had over the years but I wouldn't go out of my way to come back. I bought a bento box (4 pieces) and highly recommend: Espresso Red Bean Cake batter and Matcha were ok. There's no seating in the shop but outside of its doors are 3 oversized stubs that you can sit on to enjoy your mochi, which we appreciated.

I love this place. I live in the area and i regularly get them (usually the bento box of four mochi ice creams, all for myself haha). My favorites are black sesame and matcha (i like asian flavored desserts). The black sesame tastes really rich and I can taste the black sesame (as opposed to tasting the black sesame flavored syrup). Although there are mochi ice creams that you can get from supermarkets, i come back to mochidoki when I'm craving mochi ice creams because the flavors are very rich and not cheap-tasting. Plus, I love the packaging and the ambiance (although it's not a sit-down place, i still prefer a clean and cute looking store!). The staff members are always friendly as well. I definitely prefer this place than other super-sugary, artificial-syrup-tasting popular ice cream/gelato places in UES... Re: price, I personally would pay a bit more and get really good mochi ice creams that are beautifully presented, so I honestly don't think these are that expensive..

Icy cold mochi in a hot summer day is a plus. The size and price is about right. Each of the mochi was milky, rich in taste and sticky. The service is ok and I wish they got a table or place to sit down to enjoy it. Overall good experience. My recommend is to eat it asap and don't wait to take it back home unless you have a container.

This is the second location of the best in the biz mochi shop. Great for a quick and light dessert, and a must stop to try their new Everything Bagel flavor - usually too gimmicky or savory when applied to desserts, but this one really works. The Passionfruit is the other best one, so get that and a few more for a box of 4.

These are the best mochi balls I've ever had. Their vegan balls, you can even tell the difference. The mango vegan are my fav. The chocolate and strawberry are both excellent as well.

Oh goodness, this mochi is so good!!! So many interesting flavors for this new pop up shop! They're like a tiny little ice cream sandwich! I'm not usually a fan of sweets but enjoyed the ones I got!! As mentioned, the pricing is a little steep for a small little sized treat, but it is quite good! I'm sure they'd definitely be a great summer treat once the time comes around again!

The night before I visited Mochidoki, I had mochi at a ramen restaurant, and it was just really mediocre, propelling me to look around Manhattan for shop specializing in mochi. It was tucked away in a lot of construction, but the shop is furnished and decorated very nicely. I do wish it had indoor seating. You can get single mochi, a bento box (4 mochi) or a pack of 12. I chose to go with the bento box and selected vanilla chip, matcha, earl grey, and acai cocoa, all four of which I loved. Mochidoki's mochi is filled with ice cream, and albeit frozen, the mochi was still extremely soft and sticky, in contrast to the mochi I had at the ramen restaurant. I don't have a frame of reference for this mochi, but I was very, very satisfied with my visit.

A new mochi ice cream store in midtown. Must try it. It just melted in my mouth. Highly, highly recommend!

Absolutely delicious, super flavors. I ordered habanero chocolate and black sesame mochi.

Such a cute place for mochi! We stopped by here after dropping off my dog to the groomer next door, and we're not disappointed. The mochi tasted fresh and light, and I also got a Sakura latte. A tad bit pricey.

Cute spot. Delicious mochi ice cream. Flavors are good but not great. Best deal is 12 for $30 .. cute holiday Frankenstein & mummy mochi ice creams - they are match and vanilla. It's a cute gift but I wouldn't say I love it

I've been to this place twice after two meals nearby with one of my usual groups though I believe I tried mochidoki at one of the winter food fairs (perhaps Herald Square but I am not sure.) The prices here are a bit high ($3.25 for one I believe) but you pay for the novelty and they definitely become more reasonable the more you buy (such as $4 for 12.) and since they don't just offer the usual red bean/vanilla/matcha but also some unique flavors such as everything bagel and some other things. I have tried the ube/purple yam, matcha/powdered green tea, and adzuki/red bean. Of the three, the red bean was definitely the best as it wasn't as overly sweet. The matcha was a bit disappointing not having strong enough of a green tea flavor and the ube was solid but also on the lighter end. I remember trying some other type of fruit version from their cart (I believe mango or lychee) and I remember that being a lot better so perhaps go with the more unique options if you're looking for a bit more flavor for the price.

My inner child has died and gone to heaven in such a place that is VEGAN AND GLUTEN FREE OPTIONS!!! Growing up mochi was really one of my favorite things ever. They have so so many options, with tons of styles and flavors, and the shop really is very nice. Their current seasonal flavor is Acai that is vegan and wow. The skin is so soft and chewy, the ice cream delicious!!! I made a plan to try every single mochi place in the city that would be worth trying and this one I would come back to over and over and try other things.

If you've never had mochi ice cream before, heres your chance! Their ice cream is so flavorful in a wonderful selection of unique flavors. The mochi around the ice cream keeps it easy to eat even in the heat, and I was able to finish everything with no more than a drop wasted. Completely worth it's price, which isn't even that expensive. Their matcha is also hand-whisked before serving.

A clean and cute little mochi shop. Had a bunch of fun flavors. My wife and I ended up getting the green matcha, purple yam, black sesame, and açaí cacao crunch. They all tasted pretty good, but I was left feeling they were all a bit on the sweet and bland side of things (if you're used to mochi that packs more of a flavor punch). My wife also got a matcha latte and they did a wonderful job making that not to sweet and just to her liking!

Love this place. Lots of selections, nice personnel and delicious mochis! Will go back

First time coming here and it was great! My only recommendation would be to include seating. Even a few bar stools on the side would be nice.

So far best Mochi I've found. Vanilla chip and strawberry are my favorite, I go here all the time. 10/10 recommend!!

Baller mochi ice cream spot with diverse, bite sized desserts that are delicious--albeit a touch expensive. Get the red bean. $3 a ice-cream cake. 5/5 stars as a dessert spot.

I ordered a matcha mochi a few days ago, and it was absolutely delicious. The woman behind the counter was incredibly kind and accommodating while I decided on a flavor. The price is a bit steep considering that you could purchase an entire box of mochi from the grocery store for the same price as one from Mochidoki, but the quality is certainly much better than anything you'd find in the frozen aisle.

Pretty good, but I was hoping there'd be more traditional selections (e.g.: with red bean filling, instead of ice cream)...I got a bento box (4 pcs) of hojicha, red bean, matcha, and black sesame, and the flavors were all tasty, though a tad steep. The matcha was still a bit frozen (without dry ice) when I got home (within 10 minutes), but the red bean was nearly melted. I guess they melt at different rates? I'll probably be back sometime.

We stopped here on a whim, I seen a doodle begging for one of theses tasty treats. The environment was good and the young lady was very helpful helping to explain the flavors and what in them, the price a bit high for 1 however they didn't let us down on taste so it's chill

Did a late night Uber order. Was quite worried that the ice cream would have melted, but we were pleasantly surprised with how the product was packed. It was packed in an insulated bag with dry ice which kept the mochi ice-cream cold, even though it took 45 minutes to deliver on a hot summer night. We ordered the 12-pack sampler and enjoyed every single flavour. Our top picks were the chocolate, passion fruit, espresso and vanilla chip. 10/10 would order from here again
