Mochi Fresh Homemade Boba Milk Tea — Restaurant in Tempe

I’ve heard positive things about this boba shop so I was excited to try it! The shop seemed very clean and their decor is unique and cute. I’m sure it was (and will be) a nice place to sit and enjoy your boba.

My experiences with wait times at other boba shops has always been a positive and quick process...that is until I came here. I waited at least 20 minutes for my single drink with several employees working and only two other people waiting. I asked the cashier about it and (from what I could understand) it sounded like she said they only call drinks in number order. So if your drink is #3 and #1 or #2 haven’t been made then they leave your drink to sit there and get watered down until the previous two are done. I’ve never heard of anything like this. Especially in a small space with limited places for social distancing during a pandemic. You’d think these factors alone would make them modify that process! Because of it though, people continued to pile in to wait around even sitting on the floors because of the lack of open chairs. During my conversation with the cashier I also found out my drink had been done and I was apparently waiting who knows how long just for other people’s drinks to be made. 🙄

As for my tea I thought the boba was very flavorful and soft. I mostly enjoyed the tea as well. Why mostly you may ask? Well because it became very watered down from sitting on their counter while those other drinks were being completed. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Lastly, I didn’t appreciate not being told that they charged extra to use cards under $10. Although it was only 25 cents, for me, it’s the principle that the cashier didn’t disclose this. I apparently missed the two small signs while I was hurrying to check out as a line was forming. Had I known this I would have just used cash. I don’t see myself returning after this...

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Mochi Fresh, and I can confidently say it was an outstanding experience. From the moment I stepped in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff was incredibly friendly, making the entire visit enjoyable.

One highlight of my visit was when Ben Bethel, a friend of mine and avid boba enthusiast suggested trying the boba from Mochi Fresh. Trusting his recommendation turned out to be a fantastic decision. The boba at Mochi Fresh is hands down the best I've ever tried. What sets it apart is the fact that it's made fresh, right there on the spot. The attention to detail in crafting these delightful pearls truly shines through in the taste and texture.

The boba itself has the perfect chewiness, and it complements the drinks perfectly. The range of flavors and combinations available is extensive, catering to all preferences. Whether you're a seasoned boba enthusiast or a first-timer, Mochi Fresh is the place to be.

Beyond the boba, the entire menu is a testament to the commitment to quality ingredients and flavors. The mochi treats are equally delightful, offering a sweet and chewy experience that is simply irresistible.

In addition to the fantastic food and drinks, the ambiance of Mochi Fresh adds to the overall charm. It's a place where you can relax, catch up with friends, or simply treat yourself to a delicious snack.

Overall, Mochi Fresh exceeded my expectations, and I can't wait to go back for more. If you're a fan of boba or just looking for a unique and delightful culinary experience, do yourself a favor and visit Mochi Fresh – you won't be...

Love love LOVE this place! The drink was so good, I got another one immediately after finishing my first!

I ordered a Thai tea, less ice and no sugar. It’s the same order I’ve given in at least ten different boba shops. This is the first time I’ve genuinely tasted no sugar, excepting the boba itself. If I had any comment, it might be that I prefer larger boba, but don’t let that devalue the freshly made, quality pearls! The amount of pearls was also just right.

My sister ordered the signature fruit tea - another hit. The cup was so cute, and it had a fork attached for the perfectly cut chunks of fruit in the drink. It also had no sugar, and they meant it. She also ordered takoyamii, which she didn’t like because of the smell. Warning, it was really strong.

After guzzling my first delectable drink, I realized this location offers chewy strawberry and mango boba (thanks to the TV showing the owner’s efforts for the shop)! I was hooked; I got a peach oolong tea with mango boba. It was amazing, and I cannot recommend it enough.

The place was also really cute and neat, and they offer a rewards number and a stamp card. The chairs were nice, along with the lighting. The staff were friendly and service was pretty quick for the quality of the drinks.

Overall, I’m sold. This ranks near the very top of around 40 boba shops across multiple states for me. The only reason it isn’t number one is because I prefer larger boba, but the option of flavored chewy bobas greatly outweighs the...
