"Is the Bubbies mochi ice cream brand on your radar? No? Well, it definitely should be. I don't know why mochi ice cream isn't a booming product on the market right now - the only mochi ice cream I'd tried prior to this tasting came from Trader Joe's (though I know My/Mochi's flavors are pretty well-known). After trying Bubbies' full lineup of mochi ice cream flavors, though, I won't be able to look past the handheld snack-slash-dessert when I see it."
"It would be an understatement to say that ranking these was difficult. How does one compare a very good product to another very good product? Therefore, while my personal opinion played a big role in choosing between the top and bottom contenders, I needed another criterion to help me order these. I chose to focus on which flavors surprised me, or seemed to be unique offerings in the genre."
"Matcha can have a divisive profile. It's typically very earthy and grassy, which just wholly turns some people off to the drink. I like matcha (in fact, I just did a round-up piece of ceremonial-grade matchas that really grew my love for the drink), but I do have a very particular drink order: unsweetened iced matcha with oat milk. I specifically don't like my matcha to be sweet, which is why this ice cream got such a low spot."
Bubbies offers a full lineup of mochi ice cream flavors that are consistently authentic and true to their named flavors. All flavors deliver high quality, making direct comparisons challenging. Ranking relied on how surprising or unique each flavor felt in addition to personal preference. Many flavors are faithful recreations of familiar tastes, offering a satisfying handheld snack-dessert experience. Matcha Green Tea presents a sweeter, drink-like matcha profile rather than a robust, earthy one, resulting in a lower placement for those who prefer unsweetened, strong matcha. Overall, Bubbies presents compelling, well-executed mochi options.
