Cafe Rio
2066 University Ave, Berkeley, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked in Berkeley, this casual spot wins hearts with genuinely sweet owners and fresh coffee that locals appreciate, though the experience can be inconsistent—the bacon egg sandwich hits the mark, but there are troubling reports of overcharging and inconsistent food quality that deserve caution. Best visited for a quick morning coffee and pastry rather than a full meal, and definitely ask for your receipt.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. Quick-grab spot. Full breakfast and light food on the menu. Family friendly.
