Kelli Heitzmann-FranksMarch 29, 2015Death by chocolate about killed me, it was so good and rich. GOT MILK? Red velvet is great also. Their blackberry ice cream was creamy and flavorful! It all looks great! Love the new location!
david banarDecember 31, 2016I felt my life slowly fading away with every bite of the Death by Chocolate. Sure it's good, but honestly it's too much. I'd recommend the mint cake. But still nice vibe, quality cakes, & good coffee.
KellyFebruary 27, 2023Ok, I’m not a fan of the buttercream - it’s like putting a stick of butter in your mouth (referring to both texture and taste). The cake is good and the pie is amazing.
Miss JimenezNovember 4, 2014Had the Blackberry Diva cake. It was really good and not too sweet. I visited on a Sunday and it did take a while to get helped. But other than that it was good. Will visit again.- Love the new location! You can't go wrong with any of the pies. Death by chocolate is truly death by chocolate. And they're open late for those late night cravings.
Mary SAugust 29, 2015Dessert heaven. The cakes and tortes are absolutely delicious. I love the whole atmosphere. Friendly service.
Shweta Singh KirtiOctober 14, 2012Best desert place in Sacramento...,very authentic and fresh desert:)
Ahmed Abu EitaJuly 31, 2013We were voted Best Dessert In Sacramento in August issue of Sacramento Magazine. #1 Dessert in Sacramento For 25 years in a roll. THANK YOU SACRAMENTO. We Love You Too
Bekah KornblumApril 22, 2016Most of the cakes, though beautiful, are too rich for just one person to eat a slice. They had canolis and other desserts too that looked delectable.- Vilma M.February 16, 2013Best place to be if you have a sweet tooth! Amazing mint brownies mint cake and heavenly mocha cake are yummy
tony rochaMay 11, 2015Best place in all of Sacramento for dessert. Skip dinner if you plan to have dessert at Rick's.
Tim MarttalaSeptember 17, 2016With '50s diner decor, I wasn't expecting upscale, delicious desserts...but they made it work!
This was the first place I went to when I moved to the neighborhood. Everything is so delicious! This could be dangerous.
new location is awesome but the serving sizes have become smaller with the move and quality seems a little down as well...
Melanie WeirAugust 15, 2012Gluten free options may be available, but bakery items are made in a facility that produces gluten and cross contamination is highly likely.
Jon TerryJuly 9, 2016So many desserts, so little time. The line was super long, but moved really quickly- Ahmed Abu EitaAugust 5, 2013We have a new winner on our $50 Gift Certificate monthly drawing. His name is EMILE SAKKAB. Congratulations Emile,Enjoy!!
Try the White Chocolate Strawberry Lemon Cake - Best piece of cake that I've had from Rick's.
TWO MEN AND A TRUCKJuly 23, 2012Some of the best desserts in town! They have a huge selection of cakes and pastries and are open late!
best place for dessert - be it day time or late at night
Chocolate milkshake is the double bomb. Also try the apple cake , you won't be disappointed .
Abby FoxJanuary 20, 2012The coconut pecan cake is amazing... but then again i haven't had anything not amazing here!- Melanie WeirAugust 17, 2012Gluten free options are sometimes on the menu. High chance for cross contamination.
You literally can get anything from here and you will leave satisfied. My personal favorite is anything with chocolate and oreos :) YUM!
Alicia CorralesAugust 25, 2010Love the jukebox look and had the flourless Torta, tasty and love the big glass of milk they give you:)

"Pretty soft shave ice. The condensed milk and ice cream area must. I recommend the Tigers Blood. Be warned, they don't mix flavors and they sometimes run out of ice cream. 😩😠"
