I tried out a bakery called Mosi Bakery Cafe and Gelateria that came highly recommended from TikTok. TikTok is typically where I find a lot of new cafes or restaurants around town as it shows the food and reviews it. I got an iced matcha and a lemon berry cream cheese danish. The matcha was pretty decent but lacked matcha flavor and sweetness, more or so tasted like milk with a hint of matcha. A way I would improve this would be to add more matcha powder and add more syrup and less milk. The danish was one of the best danishes I have ever had and would get again, it was very sweet and dense in the middle and fluffy on the sides which is how i like my danishes. The filling was super fresh and had the perfect sweetness and tanginess. The cafe was very busy and constantly had a long line, I would not recommend this cafe as a study spot due to the constant foot traffic coming in and out the door but the cafe was beautifully decorated and resembled a bakery in Italy which fits on their theme. The staff were friendly and the service was fast. In reflecting through all the different matcha drinks I’ve had at different cafes it has made me realize that not all matcha is the same and even if it more expensive than other places does not guarantee it to be better or higher quality. A downside to this cafe would be the parking situation as it is near impossible to find any open spots as parking is extremely limited and there are not many places to park close by especially during peak hours. Overall, I would try Mosi again but would consider trying their gelato or sandwiches as that is what they are known for.
