My positive warning is that even the smallest option (the See me bowl) is very filling! So consider that when purchasing. They have a variety of selections and currently have a vegan option as their selection. I did not notice that they have coffee and tea and wished I had tried their beverages. I am sure they would have tested great. The staff are very hard working and the line moves pretty quickly for purchases.

As a Palestinian American I was stoked to try this place. It’s the only place in America to my knowledge where there’s flavored rice pudding what y’all thought I was going to rate it, really expensive but tasty. Nothing can beat a traditional Palestinian woman’s version of rice pudding but i had a good time here and would come back to try other flavors. I got the OG unflavored rice pudding which was amazing but then I also got the cheesecake which was okay but I would’ve gotten something else to be honest.

There were lines to get into the establishment, line moves qiuck. Inside is well decorated and bright. It's definitely a fun place with very funny sayings on the door and wall. The staff is very friendly and smiles throughout the visit. The rice pudding is absolutely amazing. This is a must try cant believe I just found out about this gem.

I’d recommend Rice to Riches to those who enjoy rice pudding with an unapologetic sense of humor. I stumbled upon Rice to Riches a while ago and was intrigued that a store that exclusively sells rice pudding could exist let alone survive the city. After trying their pudding I had to come back. I ordered the vanilla rice pudding and while it may not look the most appetizing it certainly tasted amazing. The pudding itself was sweet with vanilla flavor and the rice actually kept its texture and chew instead of being mushy. Even the solo portion is a decent amount so I’d recommend splitting with a friend or two, or the flavor does tend to get a bit old after a while. The interior is also decorated with rice pudding memes and jokes that are right up my alley of humor.

Nothing has changed in 17 years since we started coming here! It still tastes the same (delicious!) and the service is still the same (grouchy and not great!). We come whenever visiting the city because it’s really good and nostalgic for us. Maybe they could consider different containers/bowls for dine in that would be less waste and also likely less expensive.

Interesting place it's something pretty good as an alternate to ice cream. I think once is enough for me. I tried their carrot cake vegan dairy free gluten and nut free.

Still a great product but a bit on the pricey side. I asked to get two flavors in a small container and was not allowed to. To get two flavors I had to upgrade to the next size container. I still can't understand this as there is ample room to put two flavors in the smaller-sized container. That is why they have a star deducted from my previous review.

Stopped by this place on a whim while we were on the way to another store and wow, a rice pudding dessert restaurant? That’s unheard of to me. They have a multitude of different rice pudding flavors such as rocky road, banana, coconut, the classic vanilla, key lime pie, etc. They allow sampling but it’s limited to only 3 different flavors. There’s different sized bowls which allow for only 1 flavor, 1-2 flavors, etc. The exterior and interior of the store is quirky and clean. Service was good, they were a bit busy at the time that I visited. They pack your pudding all the way to the top so you get the most out of your bowl that you’ve selected. The spoons and bowl that they provide your pudding in is actually very sturdy and well made, if you order to go they provide a free bag (I had to mention this because many places charge at least $0.05 cents per bag). The rice pudding itself is pretty thick, the consistency isn’t watered down. The rice is soft and chewy. The individual flavors are very distinctive—the chocolate flavors are very apparent and same thing applies to the other flavors. I was happy with my order. Rice to Riches seems like a New York City only based business which makes me even happier than I’ve stumbled upon here.
