A really nice korean cafe! We were just passing through Montgomery on the way home and decided to check it out. The owner greeted us and was friendly and explained their menu. We really enjoyed how sociable and helpful she was. We got some fish-shaped cakes, one with red bean paste and one with peanut butter. We also got some korean iced coffee. It was all really delicious and we felt like we got to experience a little piece of Korea. read more

Love the fish cake and the black sesame rice cake. As I dont like sweet stuffs, black sesame rice cake is perfect for me as it doesn't have any sugar, just the aroma from black sesame. Fish cake is huge portion with lots of tiny fish cakes. Staffs here are very kind as well. Highly recommended! read more

For Montgomery, I was pleasantly surprised with Sweet Rice. I believe it's a chain because there's an identical place in Duluth, GA, but I've never been. Bubble tea is hard to find in Montgomery so I was curious to check this one out. Parking: Plentiful. Interior: Spacious. The inside is very cute. Several tables all around the restaurant and a large sectional sofa that's great for groups. This place offers a wide variety of Korean sweets, beverages, and snacks. * Fish cakes: Fish-shaped pastry filled with custard. These are made fresh on the side and very good! Not too sweet at all. * Milk Tea Bubble Tea ($4.50): The tea was OK, but the tapioca/boba was old and hard. I couldn't eat them and ended up drinking the tea around it. I would not recommend this. * White Chocolate Mocha ($3.99): Not bad, but also not special either. Service: Good. The ladies were nice, however, they don't speak much English. Overall, Sweet Rice is a decent dessert place in Montgomery. I'm happy to see more Asian cafes opening up here and would be open to trying something else at Sweet Rice next time. read more

We have become regulars at Sweet Rice Cafe. We like both the Korean and Americano iced coffee. We treat ourselves to Bingsu sundaes once a week. We just tried the fish waffle cakes with assorted fillings. They go well with coffee. The ambience is casual. The decor is Korean-inspired. I like it that the tables and chairs are always clean. read more

I thought this was a pretty special discovery in Montgomery. I have to say, the Asian population has really taken off over the past several years after the Hyundai plant was built. And along with it, more Asian restaurants, stores, and specialty shops like Sweet Rice have been added to the scene. We stumbled upon a review on Yelp and decided to give it a try since we had some extra time over the holidays. They have a lot of sweet treats and desserts, although they were all Korean treats and we couldn't tell what any of it was. Still, I'm pretty adventurous and am always willing to give new things a try. So we picked a couple of treats that looked good. They sell by weight, so you can pick however much or little as you want. We ended up liking a couple of them and went back for seconds to bring back to my parents. They also sell bubble teas and these really tasty fish shaped cakes that are kind of like crepes. While the bubble teas were average, I thought the fish cakes were delicious must-haves! They come in 4 pieces and are filled with red bean custard. If nothing else, I highly recommend giving these a try. I will definitely be going back for these anytime I'm back for a visit. read more

A cute, small, but homely place where you can tell they are experts at what they do. These sweet rice cakes and goodies are best enjoyed fresh and the day of delivery, as they can get a bit less delicious over time. But we had them while enjoying a coffee at the store itself, which was perfect. Don't expect too "sweet" rice when you go, though. These little treats range from no sweetness at all, to just enough. Our favorite ones were the balls filled with sugar. I could eat a hundred of em! The others were definitely different than what you would find at any other bakery or dessert place, and that counts for a lot. They're good at what they do if you're into it! read more

Sweet Rice was the cutest cafe! The Korean coffee was delicious, and the staff was so helpful. I went to the counter and said that I'd never had rice cake before and asked for some help picking something out. I got some delicious honey rice cakes and will absolutely be back in the future! read more

For Montgomery this place is pretty decent! Get the traditional milk tea over the flavored bubble teas. There's a wide selection of Korean sweets that are 5.99/lb. pick what looks appealing but note they are typically less sweet than traditional American desserts. The real star of the place is the barely advertised four stuffed dessert shaped fish filled with red bean and custard. Comparable to what I've had in Cali and very delicious warm. Highly recommend you try it! read more

They are just OK. They don't have any vegan options at all and they claim that the drinks can be made vegan but the actual powder has 2% milk in it which you do not know unless you inquire further. They also are very skimpy on the Boba, barely giving you any even though I paid seven dollars. Not worth it! I've had way better. read more

Y'all. Get the bingsu. It's a pile of delicately shaved condensed milk - think ice cream meets snow cone - that's topped with crunchy sweet cereals and pillowy mochi. We got ours dusted with a light bean powder that added a slightly savory element that really paired well with the sweet. It's hard to describe, but delicious. We did not know exactly what we were doing and bought a bingsu and a spicy "snack" to try. We accidentally ended up with food enough for four, and the bill definitely matched :) Korean portions are LARGE and food is typically shared among the table. Just keep that in mind. All of their rice cakes (a chewy, glutenous rice dough wrapped around a filling) are made fresh each morning. Desserts tend to skew less sweet than U.S.-style desserts, which I like. We picked up several small cartons of "cakes" for snacks on a road trip. It was hard to tell exactly what was going to be in the center, kind of like a box of See's - lol. read more

Absolutely amazing. Me and my kids stopped in today and got some bubble tea and strawberry Snow Bangsu and it was incredible. The women working behind the desk were also incredibly sweet and attentive. Will absolutely be back!! read more

Made my Korean friends in Montreal jealous with this find, so score! I liked it, especially the gold fish dessert with red bean and custard, which they call 1/2 n 1/2. I have to go back to try the shaved ice! read more

Glad Montgomery has another place that sells bubble tea! I got the green tea flavor and it was delicious. I wish they made their boba fresh, you can tell the difference if it's freshly boiled rather than sitting for awhile. I hot boba all the time in LA and Mr. Chen's sells it as well but I usually just end up making my own at home. The rice cake was nice and subtly sweet. I'll definitely be back to try more bubble tea flavors. read more

Passing through Montgomery, and stopped in for some patbingsu and rice cakes. The rice cakes were soft and pillowy and chewy just like I like them. Patbingsu was humongous! Heavy on the red beans and injeolmi powder, but still delicious. The texture of the shaved ice part was definitely super snowy. Sooo good! read more

This place is really clean and quiet. My husband got the Taro Bubble Tea which was very tasty and on point. I got the HoneyDew Bubble Tea, and it tasted exactly like a Melona Ice Cream Bar (if you ever had one, it is amazing, am I right). Super yummy and worth the price! There were other baked goods on the counter which looked yummy as well, but we didn't purchase any due to my husband's nut allergy. read more

We had mango and coconut boba teas and treats. It may have been the way I ordered but the boba (tapioca balls, kind of like less sweet gummy bears) was in a sweet shake, rather than a sweet liquid. Still, it was good. The treats were the highlight for me. It you are used to typical US cakes, expect much less sweetness and for some to have a sticky or gelatinous consistency. (I my not be describing this well but it's good.) Three bright pink one pictured had a sesame oil flavor. Purple one was yam. Yum! read more

I am happy to see Montgomery have a place like this that can offer some unique sweets to those of us who like to try new things. If you like chewy textures you will absolutely love rice cakes and this shop has a variety of styles for you to choose from. My personal favorites are the ones with mixed beans and nuts, the rainbow, and anything with red bean paste in it. They also offer an assortment of coffees, teas, and bubble teas. read more

Great place for authentic Korean dduk. You can purchase a couple of pieces to sample before you commit to buying a whole pack. I never knew that places like this existed in Montgomery. I spent way to much to take home. But as you may not know... it freeze well and you can later steam and enjoy up to 3 months later. I'll definitely be returning the next time I'm in Montgomery. Delicious. read more

A gem in a small southern town. You'd be hard pressed to find a well done patbingsu anywhere, and Sweet Rice went above and beyond my expectations. The serving size was MASSIVE and their selection of rice cakes was also impressive. It is a bit dark inside lighting-wise, but they played the soundtrack from Frozen, Mariah Carey, and Whitney Houston so I cannot complain. Friendly service and a lovely spot for a little snack! read more

What a cute Korean rice cake shop! When I walked in the door I was reminded of my days in Seoul, and it was a treat to see so many fresh and creative rice cake delicacies for sale. I took home a big tray to share with my family. I will definitely stop in here again; this is a wonderful business which I would not have expected to find in a town as small as Montgomery. Check it out today if you like rice cakes or want to spend a sweet afternoon enjoying tea in their tea parlor! read more

Super cute place!! Amazing boba tea and great customer service they were very attentive!! highly recommend if you're in the area!!!

If you're looking for what one would think of traditional boba tea, don't come here. When you order a "Boba tea" off their menu, it comes blended like a Frappuccino. Tasted like it had milk base in it as well. Not to mention prices are insane. $14 for two drinks (coffee and boba). read more

As a Korean person, I am delighted to find a traditional Korean rice cake shop in Alabama. This type of place is not easy to find unless one is in Seoul, LA or NYC. They sell over 30 different kinds of rice cakes, traditional teas, modern waffles, bubble tea and coffee and etc. read more

If you are in Montgomery looking for a variety of Korean cakes, snacks, bubble tea or even gifts - Sweet Rice is where you want to go.
