I first caught wind a New York-based “high-quality mochi ice cream” shop was opening its first West Coast location back in May of 2023.  It took a long time (this is Santa Monica after all), but Mochidoki finally threw open their doors at 1133 Montana Ave in August of last year.  Sadly, after a little more than a year, it appears Mochidoki has closed up shop at this location.  If you’ve become a fan, you can still find their icy treats at the locations listed s on the poster below.
