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.

OVERCHARGED me. I wish I had seen the reviews below before going, because I would have asked for receipt. Their menu says $5.9 for cream cheese bagel. With 10.25% tax, it should be $6.5 for my to-go order, but they did not use a software to calculate taxes and just charged me $7.85. I even asked to clarify but they were vague about it. It’s not a good business practice.

FRAUD! HECK NO!
I paid $16 for a croissant and an Italian soda. When a asked for a receipt after I ate, the price came to $13.83. WHAT??? I’m so confused.
FRAUD ALERT! FRAUD ALERT! FRAUD ALERT!
It’s $1.75 for cheese and $1.75 Avocado; I was willing, about there was barely any avocado on it.
Too bad ZERO stars isn’t an option.
CHECK YOUR RECEIPT!!
The man in the below picture was terrible and has terrible customer service!
Also, why wear a mask if you’re gonna wear it on your chin?? Not wearing the mask properly which is beyond me

Horrible! Ordered a cheeseburger with no bun. As I waited, I heard a microwave warming and was praying that it wasn’t my burger. When I got my burger , It was a dried thin overheated patty with no cheese and some old lettuce, in which I was charged $11 for. I asked him where was the cheese, he threw a cold piece of chese on it and didn’t even bother to melt it, Then when I asked him to melt it , he melted it in the same microwave that he made my burger. This was horrible , took one piece and almost threw up! I did even bother to argue, I just politely took the burger , said they can have $13 in total I spent and told myself that I would never , and I mean NEVER EVER return ! I don’t even write reviews, but it was no way I could LET THIS SLIDE!! I Pray they see this too !!

I asked the employee if I could purchase a cup of hot water, and he said he couldn’t sell it to me. I then noticed they sold tea and asked if I could buy a tea—just without the tea bag. He agreed, but then charged me $4 for what was essentially a cup of hot water. That kind of customer service is disappointing and not justifiable. Hence, the 1-star rating.

This is a hidden gem family business! Sara and Roy are absolutely amazing. Friendly, kind, and always make sure I’ve got everything I need when I work and eat there.
You MUST try to the BLT breakfast sandwich if you’re there for breakfast. And hot pastrami for lunch. Thank me later.
And they are fast!

I love this little place! The couple who own/run it are incredibly sweet (it feels like popping in to see my grandparents!), and they have a great variety of breakfast and lunch foods, drinks, and snacks. Perfect hole-in-the-wall to grab a bite on the way in or to take a lunch break. *** Google’s description is off, it is not Mexican food focused. I don’t believe they make or sell tortillas, and most of the food is not self-serve***

I’ve been a regular at Cafe Rio since 2018/19 and I have not been disappointed. Roy is a family man and he runs his business as such. It’s been family operated for over a decade and that warmth is definitely not something I get at other coffee shops (Starbucks etc). If you’re a coffee fanatic like myself, the espresso dopio is a great go-to for caffeine. And although the breakfast options are hot n filling, I tend to settle for the doughnut selection; chocolate glazed or regular glazed, to go with my caffeine. Hope you can stop by and support a great local business soon!

The pastrami sandwich is delicious.
Nice place, good snacks, ice cream bars, sodas and a few beers.
