This review is for the sesame mochi blondie bar and chocolate mochi brownie picked up at Bobae Kirkland.
I’m over the moon that the owners of Bobae opened this bakery and are now offering more gluten-free options at their bubble tea shops! (Still waiting for a gluten-free + dairy-free option, though I know that’s quite a challenge for a French-inspired bakery.) The blondie bar (pictured) reminded me of the Lunar New Year delicacy nian gao but better: fluffy yet still that mochi chewiness. I’m sorry my photo isn’t terribly flattering because I already sunk into it before preparing a bowl of matcha. The brownie was also delicious with similar texture. Both were perfectly sweetened, just enough to make them treats but not too much. I’ll definitely be returning to Bobae for Origin Bakery’s gluten-free (and hopefully someday dairy-free) goodies!
