Cutest little mochi shop tucked away in the back of the building. I got taro and Oreo, matcha and Oreo, strawberry and vanilla. They were all delicious.

Beautiful place and really nice desserts, don't skip the burnt marshmallow, it's the cherry on top of the cake. The attendant explained everything on the menu in detail. We went back the next day

My wife and I shared a vanilla mochi ice cream. The mochi was soft, chewy, and tasted great and the ice cream they used paired very nicely with it. We loved the decor in the place as well!

I loved the place since I entered, there's many Japanese decorations and there's a cozy place where you can enjoy your icecream/mochi with your friend'/couple, there's enough flavors you can choose from, I tried the fig mochi, and even I didn't really feel the fig flavor the mochi was really good, I decided to pay $5.0MXN for the Calpico Jelly and definitely worth it, you can also add as much toppings as you want. If you like Japanese culture it is a must to visit and try this Momotabi Mochi Market. The price range goes from $38MXN-55MXN

The Good: The Mochi are the best. All the flavors are great. Drinks are really good. Serve is great and friendly. The bad: Only accept Cash.... They no longer serve breakfast and don't make the Souffle :(

Cute little shop that sells a variety of flavored mochi ice cream. Decently sized, a bit expensive for the area we were in but relatively comparative to the cost of what we would pay at home. We got the matcha and the vanilla flan, and it came with random different topping options like maraschino cherries, chocolate rice krispies, gummy bears? They all come with a complimentary toasted marshmallow! There is a little seating area before you enter the shop, no ac though. Private bathroom available to use in the store.
