    Fish shaped waffles (붕어빵) with custard or red bean filling.

    Great service. Kind staff. Delicious food! Family friendly. Lots of homemade desserts and they have a delicious handcrafted Misutgaru smoothie. Lots of cute rice cakes and shaved ice desserts.

    Vanilla Frappuccino

    I was completely new to Sweet Rice today, so the woman at the counter (the owner, I assume) was incredibly helpful making suggestions. The Frappuccino was perfect, and she was absolutely right to suggest the custard. Seriously a gem in a world of commercial coffe!!

    Assorted rice cakes

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!!

    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!

    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.

    Love it! Fan of authentic Korean food and super happy we have this in Montgomery area. Loved the coffee and sweet rice treats. The staff are very kind and knowledgeable in what they do. Must try as a light sweet treat option in Montgomery!

    The rice cake here is really good and really fresh! I also like that they package it in different sizes so if you live alone, you can't buy several smaller packs to try or larger packs to share!

    I'm a court reporter who travels a lot to cover depositions. Recently, I had to go to Columbus, GA…read morefrom Nashville and wanted to avoid both Atlanta (traffic nightmare) and Hwy 280 (hateful red lights) so I went through Montgomery, AL. And holy crap, am I glad I went through at lunch time and chose this place to eat!!! The cafe is easy to get to and has plenty of parking- the interior is not flashy or modern, but it is comfortable and homey. And honestly, after eating the food, I wouldn't care if they were in a tent, as long as they brought me this amazing food!! Their menu changes weekly- there are a few meats and vegetables that you can get everyday, and then there's a different selection for each day- which makes me wish I lived closer so I could eat here every freaking day. You can find the current menu on their Facebook page! If you go here though, and do NOT get the fried chicken, then you are seriously doing yourself a disservice. It. Is. Delicious. And as a lifelong southerner, I've eaten a butt load of fried chicken. This is some of the best I've ever had. The mashed potatoes, Lima beans, creamed corn and fried green tomatoes were all awesome as well- seasoned perfectly, were homemade and fresh. Seriously, after my first couple of bites, I had to just close my eyes and do my happy food dance. And the CORNBREAD!!! In true southern fashion, it is NOT sweet, thank god, and is cooked in a muffin form, which usually means that the cornbread is dry. I almost didn't taste it- I wish I hadn't, because this cornbread haunts me. It was light, delicate, savory and (I hate this word) moist. It was the perfect cornbread. They have also perfected sweet tea- I wish I could have gotten a gallon to take home. The women who were working the days I went (twice in six days!) were super sweet, quick and efficient, attentive without hovering- they're really awesome. They all work together and it seems like a well oiled machine. The prices are ridiculous for as much food as you get- a meat and three plus tea for $13.00?? I'd pay way more- but I appreciate not having to go over my allotted per diem for lunch! If you're in Montgomery between the hours of 11-2pm, and you're hungry- do yourself a favor and go to Gail's, tell the girls you're hungry, and eat what they bring you- because it's going to be delicious and your tummy will be very happy.

There were many different types of tea and I chose one to take on our trip, but we were also blessed with some chicken salad sandwiches on a croissant and two different desserts. I rarely like anyone's chicken salad, I favor my family's recipe, but I will say, I really like this one and would give it a five 5. Additionally, we had some little petite shortbread cookies and lemon bars, and my husband LOVED 'd the lemon bars. I really liked them too, but he loved them! The cookies were so cute and if I lived in this area, I would probably go to this particular restaurant often. I met the owner and she was SO nice and really went out of her way during our short visit there. The next time we're there, I hope to go in and dine on some delicious homemade food!

I am very much a tea enthusiast, having…read moredomestically taken in local tea experiences up and down the West and East Coast, so I just had to try Montgomery's newest addition. The value in the atmosphere, ingenuity, and taste presented by The Tea Garden was simply delightful. We loved being able to browse their array of English teacups and saucers, selecting whichever we pleased to accompany our meal. Their selection of add-on options was also impressive, presenting more like a traditional Southern-style tea (and providing a welcome dose of nostalgia akin to the days of Montgomery's era of Gracie's English Tea Room). The service was also unbeatable: generally tea rooms have a bit of a wait due to how the meal is presented, but The Tea Garden's pacing was perfection. Iced beverage glasses were refilled in a timely manner and we were checked in on many times to see if we required anything additional, including a fresh pot of tea. For the tea, I was very impressed to see their menu goes past providing just a few select blends, leaning into true tea aficionado favorites. I will definitely be back and would highly recommend any tea lover (or posh-but-savvy lunch-goer) check this gem out before the secret gets out. Aside from a gorgeous lunch destination, this would be an excellent location for engagement parties, bridal showers, baby showers, or most fitting, a proper Graduation Tea: a Southern tradition.

    Our Place Cafe is a strange little restaurant. I've been to this place twice: once for dinner, and…read morerecently for brunch. As always, the most important aspect to dining out is service. Now, what's funny is that the woman who owns Our Place, Corrie Sid, also owns Cafe de Fleur in Auburn - which I actually gave 1 star for having service so slow they we weren't able to get our meals. Well, Our Place is also quite slow, though not to the same degree. Just like the other restaurant, they seem genuinely short-staffed, even though Our Place was mostly empty at the time. But what really sets Our Place apart - in a bad way - is the environment. Normally, I don't give too much thought to interior design, but this one raises a few serious flags. It's a very old building; I can only guess what its original purpose was. You can see daylight peeking through the walls, which is odd. And the rusted tin roof isn't so much charming and folksy as it is off-putting. However, the big issue that caught my eye was the thick layer of dust over the ceiling diffuser, right above the tables on the ground floor. When the AC kicks on, the result will be blast of dust, grease, and mold spores directly onto the food of the people below. I'm not even going to talk about the food, other than saying "it's fine." Normally a place like this would garner 2 or 3 stars, but the questionable (to say the least) health and safety of Our Place Cafe prevents me from doing that in good conscience. 1 star.

    We went for a birthday dinner on a Saturday afternoon. My first time here. When we were seated…read morethey told us that the cupcakes we bought were not allowed. No outside food at all as allowed into the restaurant per the new owners. Ok we didn't know and how was we supposed to know. But know big deal. The offered us a chocolate cheesecake instead free of charge. That was super nice and our server did a good job. We ordered an appetizer ( fried crab claws) and they come fast and good. Our drinks at the table were sweating and the water was just running off the table onto our laps. Not sure why they don't use a napkin under the drinks. We finally got to order and the food took a long time to come out. I ordered the ribeye steak mid rare over the mashed potatoes and green beans. This didn't look like a good cut of meat. The steak was overcooked and the potatoes were cold. Other peoples food around the table was in similar shape. Not a $50 plate for sure. Overall the restaurant has a nice atmosphere that is set for a romantic date night, not set up for groups. Maybe a 4 top at best. I hope we had off night. I have heard good and bad things but wanted to see for myself. Is it worth going. Maybe if you get lucky. But for the price don't settle for an overcooked steak or a bad cut of meat. Send it back.
