"During the month of January, the Berkeley bakery is donating $1 from every chili crisp mochi muffin to the California Fire Foundation." - julia chen 1
"Selling a special mochi muffin for the holiday in collaboration with chef Stacy Tang (previously of Taiwan Bento): a chile crisp mochi muffin that incorporates Tang’s chile crisp recipe; available at Third Culture locations and for shipping." - Dianne de Guzman
"The last San Francisco outpost for Third Culture Bakery closed on Sunday, June 2. Owners Wenter Shyu and Sam Butarbutar wrote in an Instagram post the shop was difficult to staff consistently. They say this closure allows them to better focus on the flagship location in Berkeley, such as offering tours and matcha workshops." - Paolo Bicchieri
"I was told the Berkeley flagship will remain open and the owners plan to ramp up offerings there, including matcha and tea workshops and factory tours to show how the company’s mochi muffins and doughnuts are made; the company also previously faced social media backlash in 2022 over holding the 'mochi muffin' trademark, which they later surrendered." - Dianne de Guzman
"Third Culture Bakery in Berkeley has been turning out kimchi and cheese-topped mochi waffles and chewy, many-flavored mochi donuts since 2018." - ByThe Bon Appétit Staff & Contributors
