What Ashley dislikes about Cafe Rio:
This cafe in Berkeley is the absolute worst I have ever been to. The owner was extremely rude and the service was terrible overall. The atmosphere and food were lackluster as well. I would never visit this place again in this life or any other. View all feedback.
I had an amazing breakfast at this restaurant with a vanilla latte and a Ham, Egg, and Cheese Bagel. I am staying at the Residence Inn across the street and I am so happy I discovered this hidden gem!

This family-owned restaurant is a hidden gem! Sara and Roy are truly wonderful hosts - friendly, kind, and always ensuring that I have everything I need while I dine or work there. For breakfast, don't miss out on trying their delicious BLT sandwich, and for lunch, the hot pastrami is a must-try. Trust me, you'll thank me later! Plus, they serve food quickly, so you won't have to wait long for your meal.
The place was closed on Friday, May 2 at 7:30pm. Even though they have posted hours on both google maps and in their window. Maybe that's being Berkeley, they still celebrated May Day.
Bad food, bad coffee, bad prices. Not worth it even in a pinch. Price per person: $10–20 Recommendation for vegetarians: Would not recommend
