Was S at Cafe Rio a mag?
I've been going to cafe Rio for years now and always they are open and available to people. centrally located near university, Roy Sara family owners are nice and have cold sandwiches, nice selection on beverages with reasonable prices. RECOMMENDED View all feedback.
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 have been regularly in cafe rio since 2018/19 and am not disappointed. roy is a family man and he runs his business as such. it has been for over a decade of family-run and that warm definitiw is not something that I am in other coffee shops (starbucks etc.) when they are a coffee fanatic like me, the espresso dopio is a great access to caffeine and although the breakfast options are hot n filling, I tend to settle for the donuts selection; chocolate glazed or regularly glazed to go with my caffeine. Hopefully they can come by and support a great local business!
We had a very pleasant server who made a fantastic BLT for myself and my sister. Thank you for a great experience today. The small business offers a variety of delicious sandwiches, ice cream, smoothies, and drinks. We will definitely be returning in the future!
It has the same name and description as the chain restaurant cafe rio mexican grill. but it is not definitiw. I'm not sure why the description would be literally copied and maintained and something else. they serve hot dogs and sandwiches in a corner shop like square. not Mexican kitchen.
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
