    a cup of coffee, a bottle of coffee, and a drink on a table
    Noel O.

    The service at Cafe Rio is so warm and welcoming. The owners are friendly locals and very nice to us every time we visit. I would recommend the espresso selection, the doppio, and machiato if you're in for caffeine. These are just two choices in a cafe with lots of options.

    I stopped by cafe rio for a smoothie. I got their cafe rio special and placed my order through snackpass. The order was ready really fast. This was my first time visiting this establishment and Im glad I made the choice to stop by. The inside is very clean and has seating. The family who works the place is super sweet. The smoothie was also incredible! You can really taste the flavors of the different fruits that go into the smoothie (which isn't always the case with smoothies as some fruits tend to overpower). They got the ratios down well! I will definitely be coming back here for smoothies. I hope to try some of their food items in the future as well. Oh! And it was really affordable! Win!

    I am staying across the street at the residence Inn and pleased to find café Rio for breakfast and a latte at a convenience.

    Very friendly staff! I paid $8.99 for an Iced Vanilla Latte & Avocado Toast. Everything was yummy, thank you!

    Came into this place as we wanted a change from Peet's and immediately regretted it. I ordered the house blend which was admittedly the cheapest coffee on the menu but was saddened to see it come from a ready made, coffee dispenser. The coffee came out quite cold and I considered asking them to microwave it for me. This should not be the case. That being said, there was a nice, quaint ambiance to the cafe and I appreciated it's simplicity. The service was very quick also. They would benefit from making the front desk a lot simpler by losing all of the tacky shit like the confectionary and chewing gum. If they are a cafe as they claim to be, why does it look like a 7-11? Could not recommend until these faults are amended.

    This is apparently a latte!!!!

    Try and avoid this place at all costs. Just got served a cold latte (if you could even call it that) in a dirty cup for $4.65. Basically consisted of watered down cold coffee with slightly warm milk. Really disappointing and the whole place seems really dirty. I don't usually post bad reviews but sometimes people need to be informed so they dont make the same mistake by entering this establishment.

    A true hidden gem right at the bottom of Solano Ave in Albany!…read more I'm embarrassed to admit that Picnic has been around for about 5 years in the east bay and I've just tried it for the first time this week. But I'm so glad I was finally introduced to it. The staff greet you promptly when you enter and you can even watch them work effortlessly together in the open prep-station behind the counter. They have a gorgeous display of deli items, wines, cheeses, cold sides, and even some cute candles & house made croutons. They've got everything you would need for an elevated picnic or even a barbecue with the family. They have an intriguing selection of house made sausages-- the Chicken Tikka Masala sausage caught my eye and I can't wait to try it. They also sell whole smoked quail that are seasoned heavily yet each bite has just the right amount of smokiness, spices, and salt. Their hot food items and sandwiches are perfect for a quick lunch during your break from work or on your way home. There are also a few counter seats if you want to enjoy your meal there. So far I've tried the smoked quail, the Muffaletta sandwich, and their green lentil soup with chicken + veg. The sandwich was filled to the brim and each bite was a flavor bomb. The lentil soup was very comforting & paired well with the smoked quail. I'm looking forward to trying everything they have to offer.

    Holy potatoessss! This place is incredible. There's nothing quite like getting a rotisserie…read morechicken, potatoes and hot olives (their $20 chicken lunch special) and walking to the spa for a hot tub. The brownie was outrageous as well! It came with theee sauces and of course the garlic aioli won (next to the romanesco and I think chimichurri?). I wasn't crazy about those last two but that garlic aioli was to dieeee for. The service was amazing and fast and honestly the store was so cute that I kept picking things up to add to my order. I couldn't have been more pleased with this place and will absolutely come back.
