FAQs Archive - Fat Straws Boba & Mochi Donuts

Q: Why do you not open early in the morning?

We tried to open earlier but unfortunately that wasn't cost efficient as we didn't have enough sale to off set the cost of labor. Most people don't know that it takes 90 mins to make boba. We make fresh boba every 4 hours since boba is not good any longer than that. Our mochi donuts are made fresh daily and it is a 5 hour process to produce the perfect crispy and chewy fried pastries.
