Great rice pudding, with your choice of toppings, and all served in colorful, artsy plastic bowls in a Jetsons-like setting. Oh, I LOVE Rice to Riches!

So long, I never stopped to try it. We did try another place called Rice to Riches and I can't wait for them to start expanding to this area. Several different flavors of rice pudding. Very interesting and I think the Bay Area palate would support this kind of snack/dessert food. Then again the shortage of rice in the world could put a short term damper on this :) I passed by a Pinkberries several times the last time I was in NY and was amazed at the fact that the line was constantly long.

I know he was behind a failed attempt to open a Red Mango in San Francisco's North Beach. But that neighborhood's strict no-chains policy did him in there. That just might be.

Cafe Delatti in Los Gatos also offers FLAVORED tart frozen yogurt. The mango is particularly wonderful.

I've yet to try. It's true that this craze is slow to catch on in the bay area. Although I think Red Mango will do very well at Santana Row. My wife just got hooked on Frozo’s. I’ve yet to try.

There are many lesser known tart fro-yo places in the Bay Area now, including Fraiche in Palo Alto, Frozo's in Santa Clara, Blondie's in Santa Clara, Cafe Aroma in Santa Clara, Yoberry in San Jose, and Cafe Delatti in Los Gatos. Moreover, Yogurberry is set to open soon in both San Jose and Mountain View. Whew! It's a tart fro-yo invasion _ but in a good way! Red Mango will have a lot of competition.

This will be interesting. Pinkberry is definitely the leader in Los Angeles, well, I don't know about revenue, but word of mouth buzz for sure. Even when people are talking about the knockoffs down here, they mention Pinkberry to clarify what they're talking about. But just last night at our Passover seder in the Bay Area, I mentioned Pinkberry and my relatives had no idea what it was. So maybe Red Mango could swoop in and become the dominant tart fro yo of the Bay! And on a side note, why is the Bay Area so far behind in this food craze? I feel like Pinkberry has already come and gone as a hot commodity in L.A. Now it's as normal as iPods. :-) Ooooh. This will be interesting.
