The Secret Behind Our Gluten-Free Mochi Waffles Everyone’s Talking About

At Coca Bar, we believe everyone should be able to enjoy delicious, high-quality food – regardless of dietary needs. That’s why we created our gluten-free mochi waffles, a soft, crunchy, and utterly crave-worthy twist on a cafe classic.

Made with a special blend of gluten-free flours and mochi flour (glutinous rice flour), these waffles are light, crispy on the outside, and delightfully chewy inside. We serve them fresh with unique toppings like strawberries, white chocolate pistachio, Biscoff, or strawberry with Nutella drizzle. They’re perfect for breakfast, brunch, or dessert – and yes, most flavours are 100% gluten-free and coeliac safe, and some flavours can even be made vegan.
