The YAN's snow mochi & more is a cozy spot tucked along Oostzeedijk Beneden in Rotterdam, specializing in a dessert-centric experience that leans heavily into freshly made mochi and sweet treats. Though it’s a café and dessert shop rather than a full-service restaurant, it offers a distinctive alternative for those seeking something soft, chewy, and satisfying without the heaviness of typical baked goods.

This place suits locals and visitors who enjoy lingering over a refined sweet bite rather than a full meal. Mochi here stands out with generous sizing and a range of flavors that deliver freshness and depth — from matcha to fruity options like strawberry Yakult, to creamy and coconut varieties. The matcha cookie, highlighted by regular customers, offers a slightly different texture and flavor profile, giving the menu some variety beyond the classic mochi.

The atmosphere is welcoming but intimate, likely appealing to people looking for a casual yet thoughtfully crafted snack experience. The space itself feels relaxed and warm without the hustle of a busy coffee chain, making it well-suited for an afternoon pause or a light, sweet pick-me-up after exploring Rotterdam's nearby harborside.

Timing your visit when you want a quiet moment or a casual treat is ideal — it’s not a rush-in, rush-out spot but more a place to savor softness in mochi form. The staff has a reputation for friendliness and a creative touch, which can be seen in seasonal or viral variations like the Dubai mochi, adding an element of local playfulness and innovation to the experience.

The pricing for mochi pieces tends to be on the higher side (around 4-5 euros each), justified by their substantial size and quality ingredients, although some patrons note that box purchases could be more discount-friendly. This suggests a shop that prioritizes quality over volume but remains aware of the community’s expectations.

Overall, The YAN's snow mochi & more fits nicely into Rotterdam’s niche dessert scene, appealing especially to fans of Japanese-inspired sweets, matcha lovers, and anyone who appreciates a balance of sweet without overwhelming sugar. It’s a quiet spot for a morning or afternoon snack, best enjoyed by those curious about diverse mochi flavors and a soft, chewy texture experience that goes beyond the basics.

Been here many times, and tried almost everything!! Their matcha strawberry is A MUST TRY!! Their cookies and mochi brownie is to die for, so chewy and flavorful. mochi flavors are very diverse, all fresh and tasty as well. Try the pudding cups as well! Everything is very delicious and fresh, very lovely and nice staff as well.

Love this place! The mochi is so good; soft, chewy and the filling is amazing. Plus, the staff is super friendly. They’re always coming up with fun and creative ideas (my latest obsession is the viral Dubai mochi)!

I’ve been a fan of Yan’s mochi for a while now since they had their pop-ups in different places in Rotterdam. Lucky enough, we don’t get to wait for the pop-up anymore, as they finally got their own place Their mochi are incredibly delicious—soft, big in size, and extremely flavorful! When visiting them, I tried the dirty matcha, strawberry Yakult, and coconut ones—all super good! We also had a matcha cookie with mochi, but it had a bit of a soda taste, which wasn’t great, so it definitely wasn’t my favourite. The drinks—creamy matcha strawberry and iced coffee latte—were both very good. Overall, it’s your go-to mochi place in Rotterdam, and I look forward to trying more drink and mochi options next time!

a variety of freshly made mochi! it’s around 4/5 euros per piece, little expensive, but the mochi’s are quite big. kind of underestimated it :’). i ordered a box of 9 to take home, would be nicer if they gave a little discount on the boxes, cause they charge them individually. but nonetheless, amazing quality! super stretchy and soft, level of sweetness is just on point.

Super fruity and delicious mochis! Tasted the Mango Mochi (4,5 EUR) and got a recommendation to try the Grapefruit Ade. Lovely small cafe in Kralingen, Rotterdam. Limited seating inside and outside. Super friendly service and yes you can pay here by card (also with AMEX). Will come again to try the others! Thanks for the nice and great service during this rainy day.

The stuff is super nice, the mochi are delicious and the drinks are super good as well. I only miss the melon pan not sure if they were out or don’t make them anymore.

HandMade Mochi & Unlimited refill tea! We had a sweet experience at Yans Mochi. The strawberry, coconut, and mango mochi were all wonderful, with fresh, vibrant fruit toppings that added a burst of flavor. Each bite was a perfect balance of sweetness and chewy texture, making it a true treat for the taste buds. The Dubai Cup was another standout, featuring layers of cake, whipped cream, kunefe, and a generous amount of pistachios. It was a luxurious dessert that satisfied our sweet cravings. What also stood out was the unlimited refill for the tea, allowing us to enjoy our treats with a refreshing beverage throughout our visit. The atmosphere was lively, with a steady stream of customers coming in and out for mochi takeaways. This constant flow of people added to the charm of the place, making it feel like a local favorite. Overall, Yans Mochi offered a delightful experience with its delicious mochi, indulgent desserts, and welcoming ambiance. Highly recommended for anyone with a sweet tooth!
