Staff was friendly. We ordered 2 iced matcha lattes and 2 donuts. The matcha was good, but I thought it was weird that my cup wasn't as full? Or maybe I just needed more ice. The two don't flavors we got were the ube coconut and the guava cheesecake. I ate the donut so quick I didn't get the chance to take a picture. Note to self: camera eats first! Anywho, I would love to come back to the other items on the menu.
Grabbed 6 mochi muffins for my kids as I was headed out of town. Out of the 6, there was really only one that was decent...the plain one? I didn't get the names of the flavors but everything else had a wired taste to it. I did like the texture...chewy in the inside and the slightest crispness? on the outside. I think I'll pass on this place next time tho...just not my cup of tea
This place is so consistent with their mochi products, whether it's the muffins or donuts! I've loved every flavor I've tried, and I finally gave their matcha latte a try--it was the perfect sweetness and wasn't too milky or watery, even after the ice melted a bit. The ladies working were so sweet, and there's plenty of parking right out front, which is always a plus!
One of my top pick and "cannot go wrong" matcha spot in the area. I loveee their mochi muffins. The ambiance is simple but has that cool vibe, if you love to take cute pictures they have cute pink outdoor chairs and tables. Been here a couple times, and everyone's always so nice and greets their customers.
I had bookmarked Third Culture Bakery and finally got to try it. Around the corner from the shop there is plenty of free parking. It's a smaller shop, but very cute! Service was very friendly. They do sell some company merch here. We ordered the jouraku matcha latte with oat milk. We also ordered several of their bakery items including a guava donut, buko pandan donut, mochi banana pudding, and black sesame mochi muffin. I think the donuts are the star here! They are soft and chewy, not too sweet. The flavors are pretty accurate as well for the donuts. The mochi banana pudding was unique, and enjoyable! They did recommend heating up for 1 minute, but you can probably get away with much less time than that. The black sesame mochi muffin was pretty average. The jouraku matcha latte was average; couldn't really taste much of the matcha notes, but it had more matcha flavor than some other cafes. Overall, this was a unique bakery and I would totally come back!
Tried their classic matcha latte, employee was nice enough to take my order without paying on the phone and had it ready when I arrived. Matcha was decent. Their matcha mochi donut was also yummy and chewy!
You can never go wrong with Third Culture! Their Strawberry Lychee Matcha Latte is my go-to and it's so good every time! This was my first time at the Walnut Creek location and it was no different. They didn't have as many seasonal flavors as some of the other locations though, I've noticed. The service was great and there's some indoor and outdoor seating (unfortunately not enough if you're looking to do work or study). If you're in the area and craving matcha, this is a great place to try!
Third Culture Bakery in Walnut Creek offers a selection of pastries and drinks with a vibrant exterior. I tried the mango passionfruit mochi donut and the Jouraku matcha latte. The donut had a nice chew and was probably the most mochi-like donut I've had. The mango passionfruit glaze added a bright, fruity sweetness that balanced nicely with the texture. The Jouraku matcha latte, though freshly whisked, didn't stand out as much. The matcha flavor was milder than I expected, and the drink leaned a bit too heavy on the milk for my taste. The service, however, was exceptional! The staff member who took my order was incredibly kind and engaged everyone in friendly, genuine conversation, making the experience feel warm and welcoming.
Visiting my daughter's workplace this morning. I asked her what would they like for a treat? We had brought over Nisshodo chi chi dango from Honolulu to share, and she exclaimed that Third Culture Bakery is known for its delectable mochi muffins and donuts. So off we went to Third Culture Bakery in Walnut Creek. Walking into the quaint bakery, you immediately find yourself smelling the fresh baked goods. The bakery is small, clean, and full of bright decor. Service is excellent and friendly here. The two ladies assisting us are adorable and helpful. Smiles all around. The price point is @$3.50 for the mochi donuts and @$3.50 -$5.00 for the mochi muffins. There was a bread pudding mochi banana pudding special at $6.88. I picked up the banana bread mochi pudding and lemon meringue mochi muffin for ourselves to try later. My daughter's co-workers are happy!
Their mochi donuts here are very good and delicious. They come in a variety of wonderful flavors: mango passion fruit, strawberry, dark chocolate, ube coconut, guava, raspberry lychee, lemon, black sesame. My favorites so far are Ube coconut and guava! I've had other mochi donuts but none compare to this, can really taste the flavors from their donut here. Very cute, clean store with their own parking lot which is great especially downtown Walnut Creek. They'll put them in a cute box that's awesome for gift giving ideas. Can't wait to come back and try the other flavors.
Consistently delicious matcha drinks. Service is very friendly! I prefer this location over the Berkeley one because of the great service. The inside is small with a few seats and it's pretty easy to find a spot for parking.
Ordered the strawberry lychee iced matcha and it was pretty good! They hand whisked the matcha right in front of me which was fun to see and the matcha had a rich umami flavor. Strawberry lychee added sweetness and was a unique flavor combo. The place is small with only a couple tables and chairs. They sell a bit of merch and the vibe inside is really cool. Quick and friendly service! Would def come back to grab the guava matcha next!
--- FOOD & DRINKS --- Mmmk! So I've been visiting Third Culture since 2023. Mochi donuts definitely became a thing since around that time. While it's not my go-to dessert, this is definitely my go-to for Mochi donuts and muffins when ya girl is in the mood! Really love that there us Asian flavors like: Buko Pandan, Matcha, Black Sesame, and more! Now their drinks? I'm definitely a matcha girly. I've tried numerous spots in WC and it's such a struggle to find ceremonial matcha out here. Third Culture is my most frequently visited for matcha lattes- it's my closest walk and I lov the different matcha flavors like Strawberry Lychee, Caramel, and seasonal ones like Guava! I always change my milk to oat. They also have soy and almond. They did have a couple "ceremonial" matcha drinks, but those were taken off the menu during the matcha shortage. I kept coming back anyway because of the short distance and the fun flavor options. Fast forward to today - a few days ago they finally updated their matcha to a "Premium Matcha - New First Harvest Ceremonial Blend"! The color is definitely more vibrant and it tastes WAAAAY better! So glad to finally have at least a ceremonial blend out in this city! This is definitely a top reason why I'll be coming back. --- SERVICE --- The staff is super friendly and social. Their thoughtful comments also come a long way. "Let me know if you need me to make any adjustments to your drink." "Feel free to share your thoughts about the new matcha powder". "You have a wonderful day, now!" --- AMBIANCE --- I love the colorful voiiibeees! The outdoor tables and chairs outside are pink. The store windows are a rainbow hologram. Their merch section is aesthetic and colorful- which totally matches the vibe of their drinks and food. Can't wait to try more on their menu!

FINALLY!! A great matcha spot that's not in the South Bay and competes with the best in Southern California. My gosh... I am someone who used to live in SoCal and Hawaii. I say it all the time in my reviews. I've had access to a plethora of coffee and matcha industry. And wherever I am on the globe, I always look for these shops during our adventures. Milly & Illian. My gosh. So welcoming. So proud of the shop, its products and their leadership. I hope the owners know. First timer here and I spent $52. Readers: the $52 was completely worth it as soon as we took a bite of the passion fruit mochi. Heaven sent. It's akin to Kailua's Bits & Bites on Oahu. Please don't ever close. Please stay open longer. This is the first time I've tried this after wanting to visit for so many years. I work full time andddd I live in 707 so it's a little bit of a trek out here. Orrrrr consider bringing this to 707- I would recommend Benicia if you are familiar with first street. You'd kill it here! I want to bring it back to my guys Milly and Illian. I'm big big big on energy and customer service and you both broughttttt it. Being 38 when I visit these very trendy IG worthy spots, I'm usually disappointed- if not by the coffee or dessert, most definitely by the customer service. Read all my reviews, it's my first comment usually. To the owners reading this, seriously give a shout out to these lovlies. They started my day on the right foot. Xoxo Can't wait to see what you bring back from Taiwan (see the guys shared where you are- sure to make the matcha and mochi shop even cooler). I'll come back soon! Kathleen read more

I am pretty local to Walnut Creek, and a matcha lover, yet I never had third culture until a few weeks ago! In order to find good matcha I usually have to go out to Berkeley or SF but decided to give this spot a try considering my friend was visiting from Oakland. Upon arrival, I appreciated the parking available for customers. However after noticing some workers were cleaning up, we quickly realized we had actually came ten minutes before closing! We felt so bad so we rushed in to place our order as quickly as we could. We noticed as one of the workers were getting ready to close the main door, she was a bit rude to the other worker seemingly about doing other closing tasks. We overlooked this but were glad the other kind worker welcomed us in. I ordered mango matcha and my friend ordered a strawberry matcha which were great choices! However, I was glad I chose mango! I think their recipe definitely is better than other competing matcha spots in the area. As we waited for our drinks we noticed the cute sign they had! Definitely a nice touch to the shops ambiance. As we were getting ready to leave, the kind worker who took our order even asked us if we wanted any of their leftover pastries! We chatted and she mentioned how they were closing for a week long summer break. My friend and I picked pastries based on how they looked, and she even proceeded to tell us a bit about the flavors they had. Although I don't consume gluten free products myself, this was definitely a plus for other customers who might. When we got to the car we tried some pastries. I fell in love with the churro pastry and my friend enjoyed the muffin with seeds on top (reference picture included). Now, I will definetely be coming back and getting their pastries and matcha, thanks to that amazing worker! (wish I caught her name) read more

Came here at 3 on a Friday and not much mochi donuts were left. They close at 4pm. Also, no hot drinks available since steamer is broken. Got the iced caramel matcha latte and a mochi muffin banana bread pudding . The bread pudding had no banana taste. It looked sweet but it wasn't sweet enough. I prefer mochi donut more. The drink was ok but I really wanted a hot drink. I like the Berkeley location more since they still had plenty of mochi donuts 5 min before closing on a Saturday. read more

Third Culture Bakery makes the best mochi muffins and my favorite matcha lattes! I have been a loyal customer for some time now, and first tried Third Culture at their Berkeley location when I lived in Oakland a few years ago. I'm SO glad there is a Walnut Creek location! The mochi muffins are incredible. I love the mix of textures with the slightly crunchy outside and perfectly chewy inside. The Ube Mochi Muffin is a must try and my favorite flavor. I also like pairing the Original Mochi Muffin with a flavored roasted matcha latte. The butter mochi donuts are also quite good, but if you only want one treat and are deciding between the muffins and the donuts, get the muffin. I like the mango passionfruit donut and the ube coconut donut. I've also enjoyed the yuzu lemon donut. As for the drinks, I highly recommend the roasted matcha lattes! My favorite is the strawberry lychee roasted matcha latte with oat milk. I recently tried the seasonal guava matcha latte with oat milk and it was delicious! Service is always a delight here. There are a few indoor seats and outdoor seats, but best for 1-2 people and not for groups. There is usually parking in the lot directly next to the bakery. read more

Mango matcha with oatmilk was fantastic!This is my favorite place to meet up with friends. It's tucked away on the side of downtown. I usually park by the Ross and walk on over. Definitely check out if you're in the area. read more

1ST time visiting @ThirdCulture We ordered both of their iced drinks, Strawberry Lychee Matcha & Roasted Matcha. If you couldn't tell, we're matcha missys. Place was super clean, well-styled with pink holographic accents to their logo and walls indoors and on the front door. Restrooms not avail. Dog friendly seating outside if you came to stay and chat with WiFi avail. Merch wall was super cute. They sell ceremonial grade matcha and I've been hunting for some in person at local cafes as to not pay taxes on a delivery. However, they matcha was being sold in a pouch bag, which isn't my style. I prefer in a tin as it keeps it fresher from my POV so I did not indulge myself. Products: Iced Roasted Matcha Latte - I tasted my friends and you definitely can taste that hojicha as advertised. They sell this powder as well so I'm assuming it must be popular. We both liked it. If you enjoy that earthier not too sweet taste, this is your drink. 4/5 IMO Iced Strawberry Lychee Matcha - too sweet for me Ya'll! From now on I'll be asking about adjusting sweetness not just at boba shops but at cafes too; hoping the staff are familiar enough with their drinks to gauge it well to us 1st timers @TC. Anywho, I loved what they were trying to do with the flavors. Their strawberry mix in definitely has to be a syrup or the lychee syrup has too much sugar in it. But overall, it was a pleasant drink. I wouldn't say I'd be back for it repeatedly even if the location was closer and more accessible to me. They get bonus points for hand whisking all their matcha drinks per drink AS THEY SHOULD and all other cafes 4/5. I did see a dad and young toddler come in to buy a bunch of mochi donuts which apparently is their speciality though. I wasn't super interested due to my carb intake but ya. Definitely try it out if it's your thing. read more

Go to place for matcha in the area!! It is hard to find good matcha nowadays, but third culture is always consistent and serves good quality matcha. They always have the sweetest cashiers/baristas as well! I would recommend the mochi muffins :-) They are dense and chewy and not too sweet (original flavor). I have tried the mochi donuts as well, but the muffins are a bit yummier. The store is a bit small, but they have outdoor seating too. Loveee third culture! read more

The matcha exceeded my expectations! If you need a good ceremonial matcha to keep you going while you shop, this is the place to stop at! I got it lightly sweetened, and found it is the perfect amount of sweet for my preference. I've heard about this place for years because of their mochi pastries (at the time, mochi anything was not as popular), and haven't gotten a chance to try it. The Ube mochi muffin was delicious! read more
Their mochis were unique and really good. Their Matcha drinks were solid. All in all, I would recommend this cafe. It's tucked in an area that not easy accessible and can only get in one way. I parked at the Ross parking lot and just walked there. read more
Third Culture had been on my "to visit" list for a long time coming since its popularity of mochi muffins and donuts years and years ago. I'm hardly in the area and was ecstatic to finally try it! Located on the corner of S California Blvd the bakery is easy to get to with plenty of parking in the lot as well as paid street parking. I ordered the Guava Matcha Latte with oat milk and got the Guava Cheesecake and Yuzu Mochi Donuts. Their matcha is hand whisked to order and was a vibrant green color, tasted delicious and loved the flavor of the guava paired with it. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the texture, not sure if it's the viscosity of the oat milk but it was a bit too thick for my liking. I typically get oat milk and haven't come across that issue before. I even mixed the drink and let the ice melt completely, but found the texture a bit too viscous for my liking. I still finished my drink, because no matcha should go to waste! Especially with the high demand for it. The mochi donut flavors were recommended by the staff and tasted delicious! Didn't quite get the cheesecake part of the Guava cheesecake but tasted spot on and the Yuzu was bright and citrusy. The mochi donuts were perfectly chewy, sweet, sticky and very reminiscent of butter mochi we all have grown to love. Loved the recommendations given by the staff and the drink was made quickly and to order. There is some seating indoors and outdoors. Not the best for larger groups but there are chairs to share a table inside and some outdoors, most tables are best for pairs or solo. Definitely will be back to try more of their matcha offerings, perhaps with regular milk. I really wish they were open earlier to get my matcha fix before work. Can't wait to be back! read more
Stopped by Third Culture Bakery to try their mochi donuts and I'm happy to say I accomplished my goal of getting a delicious treat! They were pretty tasty with just the right amount of sweet. The shop itself is super cute and cozy, with a nice little vibe that makes you want to hang out a bit. I'd probably come back. read more
A very low key store compared to the Berkeley location. Arriving close to 9:15am the traffic flow is consistent. Orders: Strawberry Lychee Coffee-strawberry puree is added but I really don't taste the lychee. This combination while unique, really isn't to my liking. Hence, I wouldn't re-order it. Carmel Latte-I am trying to reduce my sugar intake & was suggested to add half the Carmel syrup, but again it was just a little short of giving me the Carmel taste, so I had to ask for more syrup. There wasn't a strong coffee brew either. So drinks here are not to my liking. Chili Oil Muffin-$1 proceed will support Palisade fires & this was a very unique muffin that I enjoyed. The top had an excellent crisp to it & the inside was filled with chili oil. The fragrant aromatic smell of the chili oil made it tantalizing. Glad I had a chance to try this. Vietnamese Coffee Mochi Donut- a light coffee glaze, not enough to give me an impressive "Wow" factor, but the mochi is always consistent in texture. Strawberry Cream Mochi Donut-nice strawberry glaze that isn't too sweet. Love how they celebrate The Lunar New Year & offer special flavors during this time of year. read more
Found this place wandering around but unfortunately they were sold out. The woman working the counter mentioned they would get more the next morning so we came back and sure enough they were fully stocked. The staff is friendly and easy going. The space is very small but still has an indoor lounge and three tables outside. I love that they're dog friendly with treats at the register. The pasteries themselves are delicious, but the donuts are better than the muffins. I felt the muffins were too dense and not squishy enough. Overall I'd come back. read more

For a not-so-hugr mochi fan, these are pretty tasty. Though as expected can be somewhat heavy so can't eat too many at a time. The muffins are a bit lighter texture than the donuts. Lots of flavors to choose from. Other friends who enjoy mochi more think these are quite good, especially if you're looking for a gluten free option. Most still have egg and milk ingredients. Btw to the owners/managers: your yelp elite event worked out since I only knew of this pace from your recent event. So I knew exactly where to go for GF options for a gift. Thanks again read more

I heard of Third Culture Bakery many times before from friends or from a boba shop that sold Third Culture Bakery baked goods, but I have never tried it before. I saw on Instagram that they were having black sesame flavored items for just a limited time, so I had to go and try it. I love black sesame flavored foods! I ordered the black sesame mochi waffle, the black sesame mochi donut, the black sesame mochi muffin, and the black sesame latte (hot). Other items looked and sounded really good, but I will need to go back and try them! The black sesame mochi donut was good! I can taste the black sesame on the top, and the donut was nice and chewy! The black sesame mochi muffin was good as well! It was thick and chewy. I could taste the black sesame in the muffin. The black sesame latte was okay. I'm not sure why it looked green, but maybe that's how it was supposed to be? (My sister also ordered that and they accidentally put matcha in hers. They told her they did it by mistake and asked if it was okay). I ordered mine hot and with oat milk. I couldn't taste the black sesame in the drink. When I got close to the bottom of the drink, there were globs of black sesame. Maybe it wasn't mixed well? I'm not quite sure what was wrong. I just know it didn't meet my expectations. The black sesame mochi waffle was okay. The waffle itself was good; I can taste the black sesame, and it was chewy. The black sesame whipped cream , the honey, the bananas, the cacao nibs, and the sea salt helped add texture and flavor to the waffle. It was definitely filling. read more

Mochi mochi galore! Third Culture has been on my bookmarks for quite some time now and I'm so glad one has opened up near one of my offices and I don't have to go out of my way now. The chrome windows make it very bright inside but don't let that distract you from the mochi goodness. I brought my coworkers with me and I loved that everyone got something to try as well! I got the yuzu lemon donut, Vietnamese coffee donut, and the strawberry matcha muffin. We also all got some drinks and I got the roasted matcha latte. I would say I still prefer Hojicha, but the roasted matcha was still good, just on the lighter side. I loved the donuts and the muffin! I was surprised at how much mochi there was. There are some mochi donuts out there that are all dough and very little mochi. They were on the sweeter side but all still tasted delicious. The strawberry matcha muffin surprised me because if you eat the matcha muffin part by itself, it's actually pretty bitter. But pairing it with the strawberry frosting on top was perfect! Next time I'm in town, I will definitely be stopping by to see what new flavors there are! read more

Are peanuts or peanut oil used in any muffins?
I don't believe so, I have a peanut allergy and have never experienced a reaction to their food products.
