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.
