<p>Rice Catering is no longer in business. Does anyone know who might offer this service and deliver. My student lives at Duncan. Thank you.</p>
<p>Try Chocolate in Rice Village. I visited there with my D a few weeks ago…quite an amazing place.</p>
<p>[Welcome</a> to The Chocolate Bar](<a href=“http://www.theoriginalchocolatebar.com/]Welcome”>http://www.theoriginalchocolatebar.com/)</p>
<p>It looks like they “ship”, but I don’t know about “deliver”. It might be worth calling since it is so close to campus.</p>
<p>or how about getting a gift card for whatever the student wants at the chocolate bar? my s had a nice visit there while visiting rice. yummy chocolate!</p>
<p>I know Crave Cupcake delivers (I get these for my birthday ha), as do some other desert places in the area. If you have something shipped to the college, the College Coordinator (person who does the mail & stuff) will be around to sign off and will definitely get the package to your student in a timely manner.</p>
<p>I also recommend Dessert Gallery. <a href=“http://dessertgallery.com/[/url]”>http://dessertgallery.com/</a> The Kirby/Richmond location isn’t too far from Rice and might deliver; otherwise I see they ship UPS.</p>
<p>I used [Dessert</a> Gallery Bakery and Cafe: Cookies, Cakes, Pies, Gifts, Sandwiches, Wraps, in Houston Texas](<a href=“http://dessertgallery.com/]Dessert”>http://dessertgallery.com/) in 2008 on the recommendation of a friend in Houston. They delivered to the residential college and my son said that the cupcakes (red velvet) were delicious.</p>
<p>You might also call the College Coordinator for your kid’s residential college and get a recommendation from them.</p>
<p>=crossposted with blackeyedsusan (who is the friend in Houston I was referring to!)</p>
<p>Thank you everyone for your great ideas/suggestions. I really appreciate how responsive the Rice community is. Again thanks.</p>
<p>Ruggles (located in Rice Village) delivers to the residential colleges. You can specify the time of delivery (daytime only). We used them this past September, and it worked out well. They have a web site.</p>
<p>Thanks michparent, I looked at their website and the desserts look yummy.</p>
<p>Cookies By Design in Rice Village also delivers and the cookies are amazing, according to my kids! They have a great variety of cookies, the cookies are personalized and decorated and the people there are really helpful.

<p>I had a local bakery deliver a very yummy cake to my s. It was several years ago. I will look to see if I can find the contact information for you</p>
