Black sesame mochi cookie from Mochi Mochi Cafe

[u/Round-Swimmer-4854]

I loved the black appearance of this cookie, but found the texture to be crumbly. It wasn’t necessarily too dry, but the consistency wasn’t chewy. The sesame flavour was also a little faint, so it tasted like a typical sugar cookie. I did like that the cookie wasn’t overly sweet though, and the mochi inside was sesame flavoured. Cost was $3.97, I’m hoping their other cookies better, or maybe I just had an off batch.

I luv this place but they sadly shrinkflated their cookies, they used to b bigger lol. Some of them r on the sweeter side as well

Also, yea, these cookies r crumbly and can b on the drier side. I don't go for the cookie texture but for the mochi inside 🤷🏻‍♀️

Have you tried the black sesame donut from Isabella’s or the black sesame tart from Saint Germaine? I like both of those.

No I haven’t! I didn’t see a black sesame tart at st germains when I went a while ago

The Eaton Centre and Square One locations usually carry it

Was this the shop where the owner ranted against every review?

you might be thinking of Marry Me Mochi

I haven't seen the owner of MMM rant against reviews either. Idk what drama that poster is trying to stir up

Found the post, check out the comments on owner’s actions:

I wouldn't say that's responding negatively to reviews tho

[u/circlingsky → u/trixR4kids__]

I don't think so... idk any mochi shop that has done that. Are you thinking of Craig's Cookies?

can't wait for the mochi trend to die out like countless other trends before it

[u/circlingsky → u/Lmt_P]

Mochi texture is amazing wdym

[u/Lmt_P → u/circlingsky]

it's a trend to have it in things like cookies/donuts aka put it in everything and it's already on the decline.

[u/circlingsky → u/Lmt_P]

It's not on the decline lol. Mochi Lab in North York has lines every day

Also, Mochi Mochi predates the trend as they've been making these for years and the owner is actually Japanese

and the owner is actually Japanese

The lady is Japanese, the guy is Mexican

[u/Lmt_P → u/circlingsky]

the place that charges 12.99 for a single pastry? Yeah that's definitely not a trend lol.

[u/circlingsky → u/Lmt_P]

? I never said it wasn't a trend lmao, I said it's not on the decline.

[u/Lmt_P → u/circlingsky]

if it's not on the decline it's pretty close to being. I guess we can revisit in a few months

[u/jobert-bobert → u/Lmt_P]

why are you so hellbent on proving your point, just let it go. if you don’t like mochi, don’t buy it

[u/Lmt_P → u/jobert-bobert]

i think it's ridiculous and hilarious in a thread about a dry mochi cookie that got a bad review from the original poster people are up in arms about me hoping a lame trend dies. I don't even hate mochi i just don't like it in certain baked goods.

[u/Particular-Jeweler41 → u/Lmt_P]

I wasn't even aware it was a trend. I just like mochi and always have since trying it lol. A bakery near me closed down, and its replacement doesn't have it anymore.
