The Corcoran GroupAugust 19, 2013Grab a friend and come for a wide variety of tasty rice pudding flavors. The staff is very knowledgable about which are gluten-free, so anyone with an allergy won't have to worry.
Olivia PritchettAugust 22, 2014Definitely the best rice pudding I've had thus far in life (usually when I have it, the rice is either too soggy or too hard). I tried the cookies & cream (think graham cracker & cream) & I loved it !
Upvoted Dec 17, 2024- HBOMarch 14, 2016Rice to Riches, featured in Girls S5, Episode 4, offers rice pudding by the bowlful in flavors like “Fluent in French Toast,” “‘Oreo’ Gasm” and “Hazelnut Chocolate Bear Hug."
Stella RicciApril 1, 2020If you love rice pudding and want to try other flavors of rice pudding, this is for you! Fun, clean atmosphere. The staff will let you sample some interesting flavors. Give it a try!! Arroz con leche!
Sasha ChinnayaMarch 8, 2017This place made me fall in love with rice pudding. My fave is the rum raisin (and I don't even like raisins 😂) but it's perfection. Rocky road is good too 👌🏽
Luca MarandoJuly 19, 2017Sublime rice pudding with great banter in-store! Many tastes to fulfil all tastebuds. Not many of these around in the world, so stop by and give it a try.
Honghui YuApril 10, 2016Huge assortment of flavors and toppings but imo the rice pudding itself is so delicious the toppings are extraneous. I'm a big fan of the panna cotta flavor.
I've been there several times and it's always great. Rice pudding is amazing, flavors rotate every once in a while, last time coconut was incredible.
Shiyana BellamyAugust 10, 2015This place gives you so many options to eat your rice pudding. I never had a better experience or alternative to dessert until I tried their coconut rice pudding. Make sure to try their toppings.
Richard RevillaApril 20, 2015It like Rice Pudding meets yogurt ville. Just order the toppings and they'll make it for. A creative and fun way to enjoy rice pudding.
Skinny Girl EatsJuly 1, 2016Banana rice pudding w coconut shavings. Shared it w a friend. Perfect amount of dessert for one sitting. $9 is the cheapest option. You get a lot but I wouldn't say $9 worth. Try some samples!
Douglas EllimanAugust 5, 2014A chic and hip rice bar in Soho. We love this modern spin on traditional comfort food. We love their vast selections of gluten-free desserts, especially the Pecan Pie!
My favorite is Man-made Mascarpone. Amazingly creamy, tart yet sweet combination of flavors! I've also ordered the sumo online many times for friends on the West coast who were dying to try it!
Jessica de OliveiraDecember 8, 2015While I love the flavors and eclectic selection, the vibe of this place is kind of a turn off w/ all the crude humor lining the walls. Regardless, its a novelty & you get a lot of bang for your $.
Leo SumulongJanuary 20, 2015For years they've been making the most amazing rice pudding here, in all sorts of flavors. Cookies and cream is mind-blowingly tasty. This totally needs to be in more places.- Sasha ChinnayaAugust 17, 2017I keep coming back to this magical place. If you're not a rice pudding fan I still recommend. The rum raisin is my faaaave. Also recommend butter pecan and tiramisu
Hind BugshanFebruary 21, 2016They have the best ones and very much of flavors hard to choose but oh so good most of them. Try the one with Pecan
- Chad HornerFebruary 26, 2015It may seem pricey but you are definitely getting your money's worth: prepare to be stuffed! An impressive array of flavors; good luck choosing just one or two
NVDKAugust 7, 2014Absolutely amazing. Great concept, futuristic decor filled with funny jokes and trippy videos. There is a delicious, unique flavor with a witty name for everybody. It's a pioneer in the dessert game.
Brittney PotterNovember 25, 2018Interesting & different! Great flavor options to choose from. It was the texture I didn’t like but flavor was good. We tried Sex, Drugs, & Rocky Road, chocolate chip flirt, & Oreo gasm.
Natalie MJanuary 14, 2013A must visit. I'm not a fan of rice pudding but this place is amazing. Had the butter pecan and chocolate chip to share. Would have gladly emptied out my suitcase and filled it with rice pudding.
Pudding is good, and I'm not quite a rice pudding fan. Many flavors to choose will make your decision to take a while, but I really recommend any type of berry + brownie crumbs.
VictorFebruary 28, 2016So damn good!! Get 2-3 flavors (only a few bucks more) and double/triple the amount! Bring friends to share ☺
Harumi UAugust 12, 2014You have never seen this many different flavors of rice pudding in your life. By the way you can buy a few of these flavors (5 dollar pack) at Duane Reade now if you can't make it to Soho.
Halstead PropertyJuly 10, 2013Home of some of the best rice pudding ever made, there are over 20 options! Go for the Coast to Coast Cheesecake to get that classic New York cheesecake rich flavor with a pleasant consistency.
Stephenie DimakopoulosJuly 9, 2013Such a cool place. I love the decor, very clever and entertaining. I personally don't like rice pudding, but their barista station is cool. My friends seem to *love* them. Kudos!
Jonathan ChinchillaOctober 29, 2013Amazing stuff. Tasty and makes a perfect dessert for after dinner. Only thing is you influenced to by the bigger $7 option bc the smaller more inexpensive are limited in flavors.
Ryan BrightSeptember 5, 2015Enjoy French Toast? Rice pudding? Try French Toast rice pudding. Massive portions, so get a small size unless you want more for later... a decision no one will fault. Oh, and read the signs.- Luna JayAugust 19, 2014Love their witty, anti-skinny quotes and really a fan of their collection of rice pudding flavors! Don't really like them with toppings, because they're already sweet/good enough
Puu KampolratanaDecember 31, 2014Got an epic size. Love the espresso and butterscotch flavor top with oatmeal coconut crumble and mixed nuts. It was recommended by the salesperson.
Jeffrey ZhaoFebruary 21, 2017Lemon poppyseed rice pudding is pretty interesting. Portion sizes are really big by the way - you can easily split the single size among 2-3 people.
MarkOctober 13, 2014Delicious ride pudding, with flavors to please most every palate. But watch out for those serving sizes, they're a lot bigger than you think! A solo is good for two portions.
Yomi AjaiyeobaAugust 22, 2013Love this place and sampling various flavors. Tonight I left with 3 flavors: Tiramisu, almond smd cookies and cream yummy!!
Gustavo RiveraJune 12, 2013This is the best dessert in the city hands-down, so good it should be illegal! Just had the cheesecake with the hazelnut chocolate bear hug with graham crumble on top
Carlos G. JaraSeptember 5, 2011If you like (or wish to taste some day) rice pudding then this is the place for you. You will have a GREAT variety of flavors to choose from - U can ask to taste BEFORE you order, try to do that!
Linda SongNovember 15, 2014You think their single serving looks way too small...ON THE CONTRARY. Don't forget how heavy rice pudding is (and delicious). This 'single serving' can serve at least two.
Mariana BernasconiMay 16, 2013So yummy that you spend 9$ on rice pudding and it's oddly ok. The price must be to halt an obesity epidemic because otherwise everyone would eat rice pudding daily! Try French toast and rocky road.
Elvis RodricksJanuary 11, 2015Kheer (indian dessert) with a twist. Had the almond- solo portion is pretty big. Make sure you sample flavors if you're not sure.
Ray LinFebruary 7, 2015The rice pudding is way overpriced, but read ALL OF THE SIGNS. They are amazing.
Advertising WeekDecember 23, 2010If you're in the mood for something sweet, then rice pudding is the way to go. So many heavenly flavors to choose from. Personal favorites are the original & the rum raisin. Oh, and for a dollar more
Louis EwensNovember 8, 2013Wacky humor, a wild interior and the best damn rice pudding in the world!
Roxana D.September 26, 2013It's not just a dessert, it's really delicious. I've tried man-made mascarpone with cherries!! Woooooow!!!
Anne SOctober 25, 2015So interesting and unique... I really liked the chocolate chip & rocky road flavors. 🍚 Such a cool concept. Give it a try!!
Victoria WoosterApril 24, 2017Try not to order a crazy flavor of rice pudding. Stay original. Great place and funny decorations
Justin BartonAugust 12, 2013I've always hate rice, but love rice pudding. They have so many favors it's hard to choose. It's a little pricey and their smallest portion is somewhat large, but I suggest people check this out.
David GarvinMarch 23, 2013I don't even like rice pudding but this place was really good! We got the hazelnut and French toast puddings.
Miss PiggyJune 26, 2014Don't be overwhelmed by all the choices. Ask for samples and figure out your favorites. Hint: you'll have to come back to try them all!
Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014Add this to your list of strange snackeries: a futuristic space that specializes in rice pudding, with a merchandising style that befits an ice cream parlor. Read more
Joel CorpusFebruary 21, 2014My God this is good stuff! Caramel, French Toast, Butterscotch and Mascarpone are to die for. Add oven roasted fruit to feel healthy.
