About Cha-An BONBON

Cha-An BONBON is a small dessert spot in NYC known for its delicious mochi and unique flavors like matcha and yuzu. The outdoor seating area allows customers to enjoy their treats on the curb. While some find the prices a bit high, others appreciate the use of fresh ingredients and understand the challenges of running a small business in the city. The mochi is highly praised for its thin chewy layer and flavorful fillings, with favorites including purple yam, black sesame, matcha, and chestnut. The mochi chocolate chip cookie is also a popular choice, combining semi-sweet chocolate chunks with chewy mochi for a satisfying treat. The cozy atmosphere, along with polite staff, enhances the experience, even if they may not always be very friendly. Despite the small space and potential wait times, supporting this small business is seen as a positive aspect of visiting Cha-An BONBON. However, some customers have noted inconsistencies, such as the use of canned fruits in their hojicha anmitsu, which can detract from the overall enjoyment. Overall, Cha-An BONBON remains a favorite destination for dessert lovers seeking quality and unique flavors.
