Mochi Frozen Yogurt

This is your average frozen yogurt place. I generally stop here cause of its convenience when I pick up something for lunch at Bento. I love their Taro flavored Fro-​yo!
I also love they offer sweetened condensed milk but you have to ask for it as they keep it behind the counter.
They have the typical toppings besides that and a nice area to sit inside or outside.

Compared to Yogurtology, Mochi is a bit subpar. Some of the flavors are okay. I enjoyed the lychee flavor. But it seemed like the frozen yogurt that was dispensed was a little bit melted. There isn’t that much variety in flavors or toppings either.
They do offer snow bowls for $ 6.50, which used to be sold at Hiro’s before it closed down. I’ll be sure to try one of those next time since they were really delicious at Hiro’s.
As for the restaurant itself, the floors were very sticky. My shoes would stick to the floor and the overall place feels unclean. I wouldn’t really necessarily return unless I had the $ 1 off coupon from Bento or if there were any other promotional deals going on.

You know this place was poppin back in the day.
This is a cute froyo place that serves different flavors of frozen yogurt (they usually change flavors every week). You can add various toppings like fruit, chocolate, and jellies. They charge by the ounce and have specials throughout the week where you can get a discount on your order. They have added new items on their menu like snow bowls. I love the modern and brightly colored interior décor. When it’s cooler in the evenings, Mochi has outdoor seating where you can hang out with your friends.
Nevertheless, I feel like the place has gotten worse over the years. They do have limited flavors and toppings compared to other local frozen yogurt places like Yogurtology. The froyo comes out melted and really fast from the yogurt machines. The chairs, tables, and floor are really dirty and sticky. During my recent visit, I had to get up to use the bathroom and my shoe was stuck to the floor. The bathroom is the same as well.
I feel like this Mochi location needs a little TLC. Compared to the other locations in Gainesville, this one lacks necessary housekeeping rules.

I like going there only because of my stepmother and my little brother. I like their original and taro flavors only :)

The frozen yogurt itself is not bad and the atmosphere makes it a great chill spot, but the selection of flavors and toppings is extremely limited. You can do better if you’re looking for variety.

Self served frozen yogurt with fresh toppings and also great ambiance. I’m a fan!

This is the best place to eat and to take your kids i no my 4 yr old son loves it and its my fave place to go!!! i no its a lil exspincive but its worth it thats for sure never pass this place up!!!

Love this place. Always have fresh and good ingredients, and a variety of toppings to choose from. I’ve been here more than 20 times and both me and my girlfriend love to come here. The place is always clean and the staff is always friendly.

We went in here quickly before they closed at midnight and got some frozen yogurt to go. It was a nice place and seemed pretty clean, but it was really nothing special. We go to self-​serve frozen yogurt places on a semi-​regular basis and Mochi is pretty much like every other place we’ve been to.
My wife and I both got the Original tart flavor and loaded up on toppings (fruit for my wife and fruit and Oreos for me). Now that we know this place is here, we would go back if we are in the area looking for dessert again.

Oh Gainesville, if you only knew what a real frozen yogurt place is supposed to look like, then you wouldn’t be so enamored with this pretender.
First off, $.50 an ounce is ridiculous. I’m used to paying $.30 — $.39 for an ounce.
Secondly, the flavors here are very limited. Ever try Salted Caramel, Reese’s Peanut Butter, Cookie’s and Cream, or even Godiva Chocolate Swirl?
Lastly, the toppings here are a joke. Where’s the Captain Crunch, Cocoa Pebbles, Cookie Crisp, Vanilla Wafers, Waffle Cones, Reese’s Pieces/​Peanut Butter Cups, or Soft Chocolate Chip Cookie Bits???
Demand better…

This is where I fell in love with froyo. The toppings are abundant, but the actual yogurt flavors are FAR superior to the other chains!
The honeydew melon was by far the best. I usually go with fruity and none of theirs disappointed.

Mochi is good but you must first understand that the price is not per cup but rather per ounce.
A friend of mine grabbed the largest cup on his first visit and filled it full of the fro-​yo and then stuffed the last little space with the toppings. When he got up there to pay he found out that the price was per ounce not cup and ended up spending about 8.00 dollars on his fro-​yo.
The flavors are pretty good although some venture out too far for my taste buds. Ask for a couple sample cups so that you can taste the flavors before deciding which you want.
They have many different toppings after getting your fro-​yo. There is everything from fresh fruit to chocolate pieces to whatever a Mochi is.
Love being able to go here and get just a little or a lot depending on what mood I am in.
One thing that I do not like is that it can be expensive here if you don’t pay attention. Make sure to bring a coupon and get the frequent purchase punch card to save some extra money when possible.
The parking here can be dangerous. The lot is narrow and people tend to not pay attention before they back up.
This location is open late, not quite late enough that you could go here after you are done going out for the night (Mochi check into this, I would love your fro-​yo after I have danced the night away!) but still open later than many places in town.

Best frozen yogurt I have had in a long time. Dulce de leche flavor is delish and great when topped with caramel, hot fudge, and capt n crunch.
Had Mochi again last night — this time I had watermelon and honeydew yogurt flavors in my bowl topped with strawberry juice pearls, kiwi, blueberries, and a little of the green mochi. Outstanding and perfectly refreshing for a hot summer day.
Lychee jelly on frozen yogurt is genius!

I love all the flavors! The yogurt is fresh and tarty which is wonderful to me! The place is clean and the employees are really nice. They have many flavor yogurt to pick from, self serve and priced by weight. The toppings are always fresh and there’s many to pick from.
I love the taro and mango froyo and in love with the green tea mochi!
Located in a plaza with lots of other places to eat at. A place that I would come back no doubt!

One of the best frozen yogurt places I’ve been.
They have a lot of constant flavors but also some rotating ones. The best one I’ve had, rotating flavor that is, was surprisingly the red velvet… so good. That flavor should never be rotated again.
They give out sample cups, just ask one of the ladies working behind the counter. The smallest cups/​bowls are large so that you will be tempted to get more. Which always gets me, great little trick haha. The frozen yogurt is delicious though, my favorite constant flavor probably being the taro, the coconilla is really good too.
This place gets a little crowded a couple hours before closing mostly on Friday and weekends, but go with friends, the wait is never too long. Great place to grab dessert for around $ 4 or $ 5. Awesome alternative to ice cream, though don’t be fooled by the non-​fat, low calorie, etc, there is sugar in this, so don’t go on a froyo binge haha.
Must go if you are in town!

I went back to Mochi a few days ago… it was 40 degrees outside … and this place was packed … I can’t wait until they open two more locations in gainesville. One in midtown and one in Downtown.
Anyhow, this time I got the strawberry banana and taro flavor… Added some mochi, walnuts, and almonds. Sprinkle it with coconut and it was sooo good. This time, I was able to control myself by getting 7 oz. :-) I have been craving sweet and this is not too bad for you. So I highly recommended for health purposes ;-) haha it does beat ice cream!

I’m from Atlanta but I’m so tempted to drive down to Gainesville just for some more of this stuff!
It stands out to me from other yogurt places because it’s self-​serve, and their toppings were ridiculously fresh and plentiful. I really liked all the Asian flavors they had, not to mention the variety. My boyfriend’s 10 year old sister definitely heaped on the flavors and toppings, but I loved that I could portion size my cup to fit my stomach, since usually yogurt places give you way too much of the yogurt and then overcharge you (and then sometimes skimp on the toppings!)
I definitely dream about this place and am waiting for another opportunity to truck it 4.5 hours for some Mochi yogurt!

Sill in love with mochi.
My friends have pretty much all converted to a cult I’ve named «mochi love». We have our own sign and everything.
I am still loving these new flavors they come out with.
Papaya — I personally can’t stand papaya. But if it’s your thing, I hear it’s good.
Coconilla– great with nuts in it, slightly coconutty but mostly vanillaish
Blue Raspberry — sugary, if you’re into really sweet
Strawberry — also sweet, and tangy, great with fresh mango on top
Pineapple — love it, tastes like a real pineapple, not artificial tasting.
Mochi really needs more seating, especially outside. Good luck if you go on a weekend night, as a quarter of UF seems to get their froyo fix here. Sorority girls and asians love to hang out here. They’ve even set up a screen with animé playing for the azns. Expect to run into a friend or two if you come at night, its kinda everyone’s favorite little joint now.

I love Mochi from when I first laid eyes on the place. I love it because it reminds me of yogurt I had when I was younger. When I got older, I went to NYC and visited PinkBerry and was hoping there would be a place like this down South. I think Mochi is better than PinkBerry. Mochi has a lot of flavors you can try, ranging from tarot, orginal, raspberry, strawberry, mango, blueberry, lychee, etc. They have sample cups for you to try. It’s all self-​served. Then you can add any fruits you want on it or «mochi», a gummy fruity thingy. The cost depends on how much the yogurt weighs.
The service is awesome bc it’s all self-​served. The workers are nice and always smiling. The place is relatively new and well-​kept. Although it’s a little small, tt’s a fun place to hang out with friends. They also have outdoor seating.
It’s in a shopping center, so parking is fine

I am pleased to introduce you to Mochi Frozen Yogurt, because it will become your new crack rock.
For anyone that is a fan of sour frozen yogurt, bubble milk teas, chewy rice cakes/​mochi, or fresh fruit then this is the place for you. Located right next to Bento on Archer Road, this is the newest, hottest, sexiest frozen yogurt that you will ever taste. No joke!
The set-​up is that you walk into the futuristic kawaii shop and receive a free sample cup to taste all of the self serve flavors. Then, you make your decision and yes, serve yourself. There are many delicious and Asian inspired flavors. The flavors I recommend are:
Original– the basic sour frozen yogurt, recommended with blueberries, almonds, and granola. Or any type of fruit really.
Green Tea– recommended with green tea mochi on top.
Coconut– recommended with mango topping.
Taro– the most popular flavor, recommended with sweet or red mochi.
Honeydew– tastes just like honeydew milk tea, awesome!
Lychee– sometimes lychee flavored foods are too sweet, but this delicious lychee sour yogurt is just perfect. Recommended with lychee jellies on top.
After you serve yourself your favorite flavors, make your way over to the self serve toppings bar for a large variety of fruits, mochi, and dry toppings. Everything is based on weight, so choose as many flavors of yogurt and toppings you want. $ 0.45 an ounce, most people eat about 8 ounces, and it is all zero fat yogurt! So, an average cup with toppings is about $ 4 – 5.00, very affordable for what it is.
Also, I wanted to mention that all of the cups and spoons are biodegradable and there is also a frequent buyer card. They are open until midnight every night and in an excellent location, so stop by with your friends for a great healthy snack or dessert.
Why five stars? Well, my friends, this is as good as it gets. Even better than Pinkberry, oh snap.
