The Internet is freaking out over the rollout of Whole Foods Market’s new self-serve mochi bars, and we couldn’t be prouder. If you’re a mochi virgin, let us explain: Mochi ice cream is a trendy Japanese-American dessert made of bite-sized ice cream balls enveloped in sweet rice dough. Our flavors include Strawberry, Vanilla Bean, Matcha Green Tea, Red Bean, Double Chocolate, Black Sesame, Kona Coffee, Mango and more. Prices vary, but are around $2 per treat.

The Buzz is Real

PopSugar said, “If you haven't bitten into a squishy, sweet, cold mochi, you're seriously missing out.” Agreed.

Food and Wine excitedly alerted readers, “Mochi bars are coming!”, saying “It’s hard to improve on plain ice cream, but wrapping it in soft, spongy mochi does the trick.”

Foodbeast called them “EPIC”, sharing a sweet, 35-second video and this etiquette tip: “Just try your hardest not to sample all the flavors and put them back half eaten. Don’t be that guy.”

All over the nation, Whole Foods shoppers are declaring their love with happy faces and heart emojis:
