Third Culture Bakery cultivates a community of love and acceptance through mochi treats.
BERKELEY, Calif. -- Mochi may be a staple at Third Culture Bakery, but owners Sam Butarbutar and Wenter Shyu will tell you that love is the main ingredient driving the space.
The dynamic baking duo fell in love in Berkeley and opened Third Culture Bakery, a community gathering space that offers pastries reflective of their childhoods in Indonesia and Taiwan. The bakery's sweet, chewy lineup of donuts and muffins incorporates flavors, like matcha, pandan, mango, passionfruit, and more. Their signature Mochi Muffin was their very first offering, and it's now a best-selling symbol of the establishment.
When guests arrive at Third Culture Bakery, they're greeted by whimsical decorations, pink lighting, and countless pastries ready to be packaged and sealed with a pride flag sticker."When I came out they really took it not very well, and so my relationship with my family doesn't exist," explained Butarbutar.
