Mochizadas ($1.95 each, $22.25 a dozen)

“We have a solid following from our loyal customers who want a delicious pie that tastes like it’s homemade, and in time for the Thanksgiving/fall season, everything revolves around pumpkin,” says Tsukazaki. “We offer that consistent, fresh-baked, homemade flavor and have the advantage of so many locations so one doesn’t need to drive far to get their favorite items.”

Be sure to try the new Mochizada ($1.95 each), a Napoleon’s Bakery creation introduced earlier this year. The sweet treat is part malasada and part mochi to create bite after bite of yummy goodness. Mochizadas are available with sugar or glazed, and are baked fresh in store. For large orders call ahead to the nearest location.
