Mochi Mia was born from a mother's love and a simple truth: there wasn't a single truly gluten-free mochi donut shop in Tucson. My husband and children live with gluten intolerance, and while many local bakeries claimed to offer "gluten-free" options, most were made in shared kitchens with cross-contamination risks, never truly safe for those with celiac disease or severe sensitivities. So I decided to make something better, not just for my family, but for our entire community.
What started as countless nights testing recipes in my home kitchen turned into a full year of perfecting the perfect mochi donut: crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside, and made exclusively in a dedicated gluten free kitchen. No shortcuts, no cross-contamination, just real mochi donuts everyone can enjoy safely.
Founded in 2026, Mochi Mia is a local, family-owned business and proudly the only mochi donut shop in Tucson, Arizona. We use high-quality, and locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. Every batch is handmade fresh the same day we sell it, in small quantities, to ensure the best possible flavor and texture in every bite.
Our mission is simple: to bring delicious, allergy-friendly desserts to the Tucson community while creating a memorable, joyful experience for every customer who takes a bite. Whether you're gluten-free by necessity or simply looking for something new and delicious, Mochi Mia welcomes you to the table.
