About Uncle Mochi

Since its spring 2024 debut in Cedarhurst’s Five Towns, Uncle Mochi has offered a clean, contemporary spin on Asian-inspired café culture. Located at 500 Central Avenue, the café blends mochi treats, bubble tea, and light eats. Everything is nut-free, mostly gluten-free, and Cholov Yisroel.

At the bar, tapioca bubbles are made in-house daily for a lineup of brown sugar milk teas, frappes, and refreshers. These drinks strike a satisfying balance of creamy, chewy, and sweet. Popular picks include the Brown Sugar Bubble Tea and a vibrant Raspberry Lemonade Refresher.

Uncle Mochi leans into mochi creativity with its signature mochi bubble waffles and waffle fries, all gluten-free. Golden and crisp on the outside with a chewy interior, they’re available plain or topped with options like caramel drizzle, chocolate syrup, and toasted marshmallow. These aren’t just photogenic sweets—they’re a textural experience you can’t get from standard batter.

The “Mochi’s Kitchen” menu adds balance, with avocado-topped mochi waffles, egg-and-cheese waffle sandwiches, and loaded baked potatoes served hot and melty. It’s casual food with a playful twist that pairs well with the sweeter offerings.

The space itself is clean and bright. Counter service is efficient, the seating is comfortable, and there’s free Wi-Fi for anyone planning to linger with a laptop. The vibe is fast-casual with just enough polish to make it feel fresh.

Customer reviews consistently highlight the quality of the drinks and the thoughtful allergen labeling. The freshness of the boba pearls, the consistency of the waffle texture, and the friendly service all earn repeat mentions. It’s become a regular stop for students, parents, and anyone craving something different from the usual kosher café lineup.

Uncle Mochi doesn’t try to do everything. It focuses on a small set of creative, well-executed items—and delivers them with consistency. For those looking for something a little outside the norm, but still familiar and accessible, it’s a welcome addition to the Five Towns food scene.
