Single most WORST cafe i’ve been to at berkeley. The owner was very rude and the service overall was terrible. Atmosphere and food is not that good either, would never go to this place in any incarnated life or

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!

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.

Nice egg sandwich & coffee, served up with a smile on a cold, gray, deserted day. A clean, modest place, open in mid-day when the other restaurants on the street are closed.

This place is super underrated. The food is amazing but so are the owners. They are by far the nicest people I met in Berkeley. They also have World Cup 2022 screening at their place. MUST VISIT!

This place is super underrated. Food is delicious but also the cafe owners are the nicest people in Berkeley. They deserve more love and much more customers.

We stopped by because my nephew was hungry. He read a sign in the café that said "Good food" and he continued by saying, "That's true!" Haha! The sausage egg and cheese sandwich was pretty good, reminded me of a breakfast sandwich in nyc. The owner was delightful and helpful. Thank you for making our Saturday morning even better.

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?

Breakfast sandwich was delicious. They do put a pinch of salt and black pepper in their eggs, so be aware if you are allergic to either/both.

My 10 year old son says: "This is the best place to eat. I had gone to Cal tennis camp and I heard people could buy lunch so I decide to go down to Cafe rio and had one sandwich and I couldn't stop going there everyday ?. "
