I really enjoyed this place! First of all, the atmosphere is awesome. I love the funny signs on the outside of the building and the interior decoration. It feels retro, yet futuristic, yet from another planet. The rice pudding itself is delicious as well. We tried many different flavors, my favorite being cookies and cream, but they were all very well done, packed with flavor and all quite unique. It is a little bit on the pricier side, but you do get some really fun bowls and spoons with your order. Service is very friendly, and overall I'd say it's worth coming here at least one time just for the whole experience. read more

Rice pudding all day. Dessert? Breakfast? Snack? Whatever flavor you're craving, they likely have it. Fun spot for any time of the day. I've been to two locations (this one on Rivington and the other on Spring) in the same week. Addictive if you love rice pudding. I recommend the classic, arroz con leche, panna cotta, and the French toast. These are all pretty sweet so enjoy moderately. They let you sample a few before you have to choose. I think the limit was 3 samples. Go with a friend so you can sample more. Interior of this Rivington location looks like a futuristic space mod Cafe. It's the mood lighting, the circular tables and decor. Very clean and offers cozy seats. Nice pit stop for my kiddo and I in between our shopping run. read more

Rice to riches is one of my favorite quick spots for some comfort food dessert: rice pudding! There's a variety of flavors and my favorite is "French toast". Mascarpone, Cinnamon, rocky road also good, just to name a few. Ask for a sample before you get a bowl. I get a single flavor in a small size as it is very filling. read more

Truly a fascinating and huge place!! Their branding is quite funny and abrasive, especially for something like rice pudding. They have delicious and creative flavors- I decided on the Panna Cotta & Chocolate Hazelnut. They are so rich though I could NOT finish them in one or even three sittings LOL read more

Truly enjoyed my experience at rice to riches! You have the option to try 3 samples of any flavor per person. Ultimately, I enjoyed the pana cotta rice pudding. It had the perfect amount of sweetness and creaminess. My only complaint was the price. $11 for a single serving of rice pudding is quite pricey, but worth the splurge on a sweet treat! Service was excellent! The girls at the front were kind and attentive. There are plenty of seats inside the store. The interior and tables were so cool! Loved the design of the store. Would recommend! read more

Totally fun vibe. Hilarious marketing on the outside of the store and the flavors have funny names on the menu. I like the "OreoGasm" and the "Sex, Drugs, and Rocky Road". They have plenty of seating and good espresso drinks that go well with the pudding. read more

Yummy rice pudding--all kinds of flavors that don't taste artificial. A great dessert that doesn't leave you feeling like Violet Beauregard. I had coconut and mascarpone on the next visit, my husband had Rocky road and then chocolate hazelnut, all of them were scrumptious. The seats are really cool and comfortable. read more

I walked in to find so many different varieties of rice pudding. I think I tried the French toast, cheesecake, and the original one (romance). There were two options that stood out in my mind like the single flavor for $11 and then $12 or about $13 for 2 different flavors. The awesome part was the man and the lady at the counter, very patient, and kind, which makes me want to invite more people. It was a wonderful experience! I felt very relaxed and would recommend it to others! read more

Located on the corner of Rivington & Ludlow streets. We were on our way to our dinner spot and saw this 'Rice To Riches' and thought "dessert" as I love rice pudding so after dinner, we came here. They have plenty of different flavors and toppings to choose from depending on your taste buds. I wanted a more simple, original type of rice pudding, so I chose their 'Old Fashioned Romance', which is their simpler, plain choice. I topped it with cinnamon, and it tasted amazing, just what I was craving. They also serve coffee & tea. The store has a really cool, fun decor. Shout out to 'Kenny' who was very helpful with the flavor options, allowing me to taste before I chose. Overall, we had a great experience here and will definitely return. read more

I came here recently with a group of friends. $11 for the smallest size cup of rice pudding... no thank you. There's quite a wide range of flavors. We tried a few but none of them were outstanding. The decor is interesting- lots of mildly passive aggressive signs. The only positive thing I can say is that the staff were really nice! read more

So happy they were able to open a new location! They still have all the amazing flavors like their original SoHo spot, now its 10 time the size so many people can sit and relax here, and the service is always helpful to let you taste everything before you make a decision. read more

Rice to Riches is immaculate and bright, with lots of seating and clear displays. Staff is fairly amiable and helpful, and offer 3 free taste samples. We noticed lots of folks using the bathroom and leaving without buying anything (or even giving a thank-you), despite the staff's insistence (and ignoring signs specifically urging people not to do that), so please at least tip if you're going to dump and dash. The Epic size was perfect to share for 2 people (and it's much larger and not much more expensive than the smallest size). We got the Hazelnut and Coconut Coma flavors; the former was rather sharp and bitter (in a good way), while the latter was smooth and creamy. The rice is chunky and thick in texture, and it's an excellent way to enjoy dessert after a greasy meal (say nearby Gotham Burgers). A few final points: - The takeout containers and spoons were high-quality. I could definitely myself reusing them in the future. - The ambiance and theme is rather vulgar, and I think it's even borderline fat-shaming/ageist. Doesn't bother me too much, but if you're sensitive, this might not be your restaurant. read more

I've always passed by their other location but never actually walked into try their rice pudding since I've never been the biggest fan of rice pudding whenever I had it in other restaurants establishments. My partner and I decided to try this on a whim and the worker helping us was so friendly and patient with us as we narrowed down which flavor we would share. He let us try samples of different flavors and even gave us some recommendations on what was popular. I tried the French toast flavored rice pudding and it was really good. It tasted exactly like French toast - spot on. We got the smallest size but I think it was a good size to share between the two of us! I'd definitely recommend eating in since the space feels so futuristic and chill. It was very big and clean inside. I did see a number of people taking the rice pudding to go as well. I think I'll be back to try more of their other flavors next time. read more

Be warned: the portion sizes are HUGE! You can easily split even the smallest size. Flavors were pretty good though I thought the taste of many were bland because of the rice. Definitely a rice pudding lovers heaven. The decor/aesthetics and late hours are what drew me to this place. So cool!! Also, I saw nothing to confirm that the rumors are true, but who knows. read more

New location, same taste! The vibe is the same as the one in SoHo, maybe a little smaller. Chocolate chip - Sweet in a good way! My only critique is that I wished there were more chocolate chips mixed into the pudding but otherwise it was delicious! The worker was helpful and let us try the pudding before purchasing. Great new location! read more

Food 3/5 Service 3.5/5 Ambience 3.5/5 We were looking for a place with seating for five people close to the school for a snack. This place was recommended to us. The decor was unusual but really comfortable and spacious, bright and airy, perfect on a hot day. It was empty on a Wednesday afternoon and we could select any seat and table. We ordered three rice puddings for four adults and one child. Flavours: chocolate, peach mango and mascarpone something (I don't remember the exact name), but this one was our favourite. The peach mango was too sweet and surprisingly the chocolate was less sweet compared to the peach mango. The service was really good and the service associate was so patient with us. I really liked the place and our family was really relaxed and comfortable. I would recommend a visit if you enjoy rice pudding! There is a big selection. read more

Who would have thought that there could be a variety of flavors for rice pudding?! I'm a sucker for rice pudding so I was immediately drawn in. The staff were very friendly and offered multiple samples and explained sizing. After trying a bunch of funky (but delicious) flavors, I opted for vanilla as seemed like the sweet but more simple option to go with. The booths were a fun spot to sit and enjoy our pudding. We were drawn to the random marketing within the shop. There were a lot of tv screens with odd jokes; the type like eating in private is shown off on your body in person. little cringe as you bite into a sweet dessert. The bowls and spoons were pretty random. It gave UFO/spaceship vibes but with no reference to space. The bowls are a little pricey. A solo bowl is truly meant to share. I feel like they should offer a mini size for those who come in by themselves and want a quick treat. We watched a bunch of people try samples and walk out. Nonetheless, the pudding was delicious and I still recommend checking it out. read more

OK full disclosure, I happen to love just plain old rice pudding, so stopping in here was not a hard decision :) I was blown away by the choices and amazing flavors. The butterscoth was excellent as well as the cinnamon roll. not overly sweet but not bland either I cajoled my brother to try it since he said he isn't a rice pudding fan. He was hooked :) Service was friendly and fast. Definatley like the vibe of the place. very 60's along with irreverant humor coming up on all the tv screens. Since this is a chain, I look foward to trying other flavors in other locations read more

Love the rice pudding here. My wife and I get all their flavors every time so many options and super nice service. What a great concept.

New location and first time trying rice pudding of this caliber. I was surprised of how tasty rice pudding can be. The staff were very accommodating and allow three taste test only. I opted for butter pecan flavor over the strawberry which was still delicious. Basically you pay for different sizes which is interesting for just pudding. There's solo, double and triple sizes. I was with a friend and solo can feed two people. I'm not a rice pudding fanatic but if you are this is a treat. Also you can keep the container bowls that comes with a matching scoop. Might as well since starting price is $10+ . There's dairy and vegan options available. I liked the butter pecan, reminded me of mayfield butter pecan ice cream. If you have a nut allergy, skip this. There's drink options available from coffee to cold bottle drinks. Water closet is located past drink cooler. The decor reminds me of xenon movie sets from Disney. Very futuristic and mod. The dining tables are attached to the sealing next to wall booths. If you like rice pudding, there's variety options. read more

I am a rice pudding fiend, but imo rice pudding does not need to be bougi-fied. At the end of the day, it tastes like slightly creamier Kozyshack rice pudding, emphasis on the pudding and not the rice. Man-made marscapone was my favorite--the cherries are everything. Overall, a fun place to try out, especially if you share an ultimate ($12), but the portion sizes are TOO much for a casual dessert. The store decor is hilarious, so come for the rice pudding and stay for the skinny-shaming. read more

I took 3 flavors at the store and ate there. It's so delicious. I also took it home. I love eating at home as well. cute container and spoon. At the cashier a black woman should've gave us a store bag. She just gave us a small plastic bag to go...no smily, and not sure what's that?! We asked her to give us a store bag... then, finally gave. a same woman didn't come up to tell us when I needed a code for the bathroom. We'll def come backs store clean and good energy. Food is delicious. read more

This Rice to Riches location was very spacious and had cool lighting fixtures. They had plenty of seating and even outlets below some of the booths. I did not have any of the rice pudding here though some of the flavors looked appealing. Maybe If I pass by here again I will actually try some. I came in for an iced latte and I was happy they could make it decaf. But this is not a place if you want coffee. My iced latte was pretty much just milk it tasted like. I had a few sips and threw it out. I could not drink much of it. The staff here were nice. I was here early in the morning which is why you see in my pictures there is like no one in the store. There were 2 people in here when I first came in but they then left as they were done ordering. There are other locations of this company but I have not been to them. I am not really a rice pudding fan but I wanted a coffee and this was the only closest place I saw to where I was headed. read more

This rice pudding is definitely worth trying, even if you are not a rice pudding fan! My grandma always made Swedish rice pudding every Christmas and hid an almond in it and I never liked it that much. This rice pudding is not my grandmothers, and that is a good thing. For me, it is the texture that sets it apart. The rice reminds me more of the texture of oatmeal than rice, and it is creamy. I was surprised to find out that it may contain gluten because I think of rice pudding as not needing wheat. Their website says: "Rice To Riches' rice pudding contains:Corn syrup, Soy,Gelatin, Wheat flour / gluten, Nuts, and Pasteurized eggs that are fully cooked. For the lactose intolerant, there is always a vegan option, usually made with soy and when I was there, it was creamsicle flavor. When I was there at 10am on a Saturday, it was quiet and a good place to think, and also had a steady stream of customers. I'd definitely go back. read more

The rice pudding was better than I expected. I had the Oreo flavor. The decor is pretty fun, It got slightly busy after we ordered which was after midnight. The staff wouldn't let customers use the customer bathroom, we had to go to the bar across the street. I will definitely visit again, there are some additional flavors that I would like to try! read more

Haven't been to the original location in years but who doesn't know rice to riches as a sweet treat when you're in the area! New location is beautiful and the sizes are displayed outside. For almost $10 you can get a dish that serves about two people and you can combine flavors. We got the mascarpone flavor and it's not two sweet, which is what many are looking forward to in their rice pudding experience. Loved all the flavor options like pecan and chocolate and others. Mostly love that the orange dishes are reusable! The space is so fun to sit in as well. Great spot to hop into after a date or an epic food tour of the area. read more

I stumbled on this place by accident and their staff was so nice and welcoming. It was my first time trying Rice to Riches and they were so accommodating in letting me try a few flavors before I settled on one. Their rice puddings are so delicious and the single serving size is so much more than enough for one person to have 2-3 servings. I got the Rocky Road one and it was rich and creamy with a bit of a crunch. The perfect amount of creaminess with crunch to give you a good balance and not get sick of it. read more

The local news did a story about Rice to Riches and I knew I had to get some rice pudding. They have a big variety of flavors. I finally settled on the Rum Raisin and Butter Pecan rice puddings.
