I just visited this trendy and wonderfully enjoyable paradise today , I wanted to taste every flavor but settled for creamy cheese cake rice pudding selection . It was a delight eating this piece of heavenly dessert while reading all the funny signs through out the store . I will most definitely come back and recommend others to enjoy Rice to Riches ! I hope a chain of these pops up close to me in Tamoa , Florida as long as the recipes are kept in it's authentic form!
A fun place to have some awesome rice pudding! Pick one thing and do it the best... That’s what they did!! The best!
This is a one of a kind place. I used to think there was only cinnamon & raisin rice pudding like my grandma used to make. At Rice to Riches, there are 21 different flavors & every single one I’ve tried is Excellent!!! The staff is always smiling & treat people with professionalism & respect! I love this place!! If you’re in NYC, this is a must stop! The ownership has a great sense of humor. Stop by & you’ll see what I mean!!
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.
So happy this place is still open. Haven’t been here since pre-covid. If you’ve only had the grocery store version, this place will change your perception of what rice pudding tastes like. Don’t live in the area so grabbing takeout is a must. My go to flavor is marzipan with 🍒. Pricey but worth it!
Been going here for a view years now. I can’t help but bring friends here that thought they wouldn’t like rice pudding but this is just different!
Most of the employees are nice
I always get the 3 flavors
My go to for sure is the French toast flavor forgot the name but wow
Best one for sure
I also enjoy their quirky little sayings through out the store
Price has crept up over the years but it's a nuce splurge when in the area. The sole worker was a really nice Russian guy who was patient and generous with his serving! Loved the white choc peanut butter. It needs no toppings. They have a funny tip box which I encourage you to exercise your write to vote!
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.
Fast service! I was greeted as soon as I walked in. It was bright and clean. You can sit down if you want. The rice pudding is delicious!
I highly considered looking into opening up one of these where I lived after visiting, I loved it that much! It was such a unique, delicious, filling dessert. Something different, not too sweet, but definitely fulfilling that sweet craving to its fullest. I loved it so much I went back a second time before ending our trip. Every flavor is so delicious and so different. There are so many options and the bowls and spoons are so cute and unique too. I was very entertained by all the quotes around the place too. 🤣
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.
