COME CELEBRATE ALMOST A DECADE OF MOCHI!
Hi friends,
This year, we’re celebrating 9 years of Third Culture Bakery, Can you believe it??
Nine years of early mornings, burnt fingertips, handwritten recipes, packed bakery cases, beautiful chaos, and thousands upon thousands of mochi pastries shared with all of you.
What started as a tiny dream somehow became this living, breathing community we get to wake up and serve every day. And truly, none of this exists without you.
So… we want to celebrate together 💛
To mark this milestone, we’re creating a special one-day-only anniversary menu, available exclusively through VIP pre-orders. We wanted to make desserts that feel playful, nostalgic, a little luxurious, and deeply us.
This year’s VIP PACKAGE includes:
✨ Made-to-order Passion Fruit Crème Brûlée Mochi Waffles
Crispy caramelized tops, custardy centers, bright passion fruit, and Southeast Asian fruits all in one dreamy bite.
🍓 Handmade Strawberry Daifuku Mochis
Fresh strawberries wrapped lovingly in soft mochi and delicate sweet red bean filling, made fresh in limited quantities just for the celebration.
🍵 Ceremonial Birthday Cake Latte
A Special Ceremonial Matcha latte topped with vanilla birthday cake cream and sprinkles.
We’ll also have:
🎁 Special giveaways throughout the day
🎂 FREE Birthday Cake Mochi Muffin Pops at all locations while supplies last!
🎁 And a free Drag Show at 3pm at our Berkeley location!
Honestly, making it to 9 years feels surreal. There have been seasons of growth, uncertainty, reinvention, exhaustion, joy, and so much learning along the way. Through all of it, you kept showing up for us. Every visit, every line out the door, every kind message, every shared box of mochi donuts with friends and family… it all mattered more than you know.
Thank you for letting us be part of your lives for nearly a decade. We cannot wait to celebrate with you.
With so much gratitude and excitement,
Sam & Wenter
& the Third Culture Bakery team 🎉
