$5 for $10 Worth of Loving Cup Sweets and Coffee

Since its launch in 2008, Loving Cup Rice Pudding Shop has been serving up love by the cup-full, and to rave reviews.

This Polk Street sweet stop, named after the Rolling Stones song of the same appellation, is known for its creatively epicurean take on rice pudding and frozen yogurt, and dishes out every twist on the classics you can think of.

Don’t believe us? Scoop up some Rum Raisin, Pistachio, Pumpkin Pie, Almond Butter, English Toffee, or Chai-infused pudding and give your taste buds a run for their money, or try one of Loving Cup’s many customer favorites, like Madagascar Vanilla, Lemon & Vanilla, or Coconut, which is packed with real coconut shavings. More of frozen yogurt lover? Loving Cup customizes your frozen yogurt with toppings of your choice (Animal crackers and Nutella? Yes, please!).

Still not convinced? Loving Cup also offers a smorgasbord of other sweets, including cupcakes, candies, smoothies and artisanal espresso from Barefoot Coffee.

Put that in your cup and eat it.

* Loving Cup’s comfy digs will make him feel right at home, whether he’s sampling the sweet stuff or not. Tiled walls, counter seating, chalk board menus, and jars filled with sweet toppings are reminiscent of times gone by—or his Grandma’s cozy kitchen. (And let’s face it: who doesn’t love Grandma’s?)
* With a menu as diverse as Loving Cup’s, he’s bound to find a little something to love—and so will you.
