What a great find within walking distance of the courthouses downtown! I love that the building has so much historic character--you can really feel its age in the best way. The staff was very friendly and helpful, and I was pleasantly surprised by how reasonable the prices were. My cinnamon honey matcha latte was delicious, and at only six dollars, I thought it was a great deal. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, with uplifting music, cozy couches, and even books to borrow if you want to relax and read. This spot has definitely become my new go-to whenever I'm downtown.

Looking for a chill, cozy and inviting place to caffeinate in downtown this morning??? Look no further. This little gem is quiet, clean, and inviting, and just a stones throw away from some great eats and other downtown shenanigans!!! (And the courthouse, if need be, you naughty little so-and-so. ) The service is quick, and friendly, and the prep area is well organized and sparkling clean. After the rain last night, I even managed to take advantage of the bistro tables set up on the sidewalk outside, although I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the super cozy bar-style chairs at the bar by the front window. The London Fog latte I ordered hit the spot, and wasn't too sweet or over-steeped. In fact, the young lady working the counter (I didn't catch her name.) even gave me a suggested steeping time for it. Super cool touch. (Did I mention my latte paired well with a little Charlaine Harris this morning?? ) Check this place out. And tip them well. The folks here are legit. read more

Such a refreshing environment and place to decompress. I stayed for about an hour, and enjoyed the atmosphere and the coffee. I would definitely come back again.

We stopped in to Rio Dulce on a Saturday afternoon. From the outside it looks like it is going to be tiny, but bigger than it looks inside. We both ordered medium size drinks. I had the Horchata latte and she had the Harvest Light latte. Total cost for the two was $13.24 before tip. Atmosphere 3 - This shop is quaint and the historic building is cute. The location is questionable. There was a houseless person sleeping in the alcove next door. There are also cameras pointed in every direction inside so it feels like there may be some crime deterrent going on. We came in Feb 22 and the menu still had reindeer and Christmas lights on it. There were flowers on the bar, but they were probably from Valentine's Day. All of the roses were wilted and sad. There isn't a concerted effort to keep this place feeling fresh. Service 2 - When we arrived the two baristas were engaged in a conversation and didn't stop to say hello. We stood alone for several minutes before anyone acknowledged us and took our order. The barista was engaging when asked about the Horchata. Someone came in later and the barista knew his drink, so this seems like a place that caters to regulars. Cleanliness 2 - Its hard to tell how clean this old building is. It's one of those tiny tile floors that isn't going to look clean even when freshly mopped. The table we sat at was sticky and so we moved. We witnessed the staff go around and push seats in, but we never saw anyone wipe down tables. Parking 2 - Street parking is free on the weekends, pay during the week. The adjacent lot is not for the coffee shop, so park at your own risk. Taste 5 - This place delivers on taste! I ordered another drink on the way out. I can see why people stop. If I worked nearby, I'd probably stop every day. The latter was that good and the foam was amazing. If you like your coffee drinks hot, ask for extra hot. Mine was served like warm. Not sure, but the thermometer may need to be calibrated. Pastries 3 - Delivered locally "every couple of days" Variety 4 - Different sizes for every drink and lots of flavors and signature drinks to choose from. Latte art/presentation 1 - No branding or latte art for the drinks. Not even a business card we could take. read more

Staff: super kind. They answer all your questions without annoyance and really seem to enjoy helping you find what you'll like. Food: I've only tried the breakfast tacos. The potato taco made me return for a round two, but I was pretty disappointed by my bacon taco. Bland and my sauce had ice chunks in it... but the potato experience was great, so definitely will be returning with the assumption that the bacon day was an off day! Drinks: I got the same drink both times, but significantly different levels of quality. Pretty barista dependent I'm thinking. But one of them was 9/10!! My biggest reason for the 3 stars is the cleanliness of the cafe. With only 2 people working and the cafe decently busy, I get that they can't constantly be cleaning - but each table I tried was sticky. Just kinda gross and not ideal for a study spot! Definitely gonna give it a round 3! Updates to come. read more

This cafe had some interesting seating and a handy downtown location. They charged me extra for oat milk that they suggested, which wasn't entirely clear, but it was a good beverage, a seasonal strawberry matcha. My almond croissant didn't blow me away and was a tad dry. The community vibe was interesting, with locals who apparently lived near the people working there, businessmen/lawyers, a police officer, and of course a non-local tourist like me. read more

Great location: short walk from my hotel. Loved they had a sugar free caramel option! I had a 16oz iced Carmel latte before the horchata latte. If you prefer your iced lates very cold I would recommend the 12oz; the 16oz took forever to get colder like I prefer, but the 12oz was perfect. Small store, but it was cozy. The bar chairs are probably the most comfortable ones I've ever sat in! The horchata latte was fantastic. The barista recommended iced as the horchata flavors are more pronounced with ice versus hot. Will definitely be coming back next time I'm in FW. read more

Coffees were fine, no harm no foul. The pre-made breakfast sandwich I had was so bad... First off, its just a Jimmy Dean sausage egg and cheese sandwich. But they microwave it in a to-go box, so the bottom biscuit was completely soaked and was inedible. Please find a better way to do this. As to the breakfast taco - they were out of salsa, so what even is the point. Location is convenient and it seems like a popular spot that people go to work/study. So that's nice. read more

Found this place upon the endless scroll for coffee shops I missed on my radar. Though I had to circle twice to get into the parking lot, I will absolutely be back soon. The shop is small, quiet, and has that Fort Worth-Texan feel in the shop. The baristas were very friendly with a great attitude, and swiftly got my order out (without it feeling like there was a rush). I picked up an iced coffee with the vegetarian potato breakfast taco. Absolutely. Delicious. The price for either wasn't bad either! While the building is small, I wouldn't recommend for large groups.. but if you're on a solo/ partner study and want a cozy place to work, definitely recommend! There is also small seating outside. Wish I could stay longer to enjoy my items with the beautiful weather :) read more

Vaquero Coffee is everything I love in a great coffee shop: friendly service, quality coffee, and cozy atmosphere. Still fairly new in the Fort Worth coffeescape, Vaquero brings European style drinks to north side. The coffee is robust and smooth. We've tried lattes and cafe ole and have nothing but positive things to say about flavor and texture. Service is quick and personable. The owner was working one morning and took time to chat and show an interest in us. I've seen some regulars come in and each was greeted warmly. The atmosphere is eclectic, with mixed materials, and decor reminiscent of gothic and traditional motifs. The one thing I miss is some cushy seating, couches or soft chairs. But this is a nit. It's comfortable inside. Recommended! read more

After the zoo we had to make a stop at a UPS store and came across this gem. A little coffee shop with amazing drinks! Seating areas and people on computers so I would assume WiFi was available. Quiet so people can get work done and enjoy a beverage. We ordered to go and the general manager was helping us. Very polite and helpful. He will make suggestions based on what you're looking for. His employee was also very helpful. My kiddo got a hit chocolate with whipped cream and they had the perfect size for a 3 year old! She loved it. The sugar free vanilla latte was the best one my husband had had, he said "it was amazing" I enjoyed a seasonal drink the creme brûlée.

From the Business

Specialties

We are primarily focused on serving friendly coffee quickly and affordably!

History

Established in 2018.

Vaquero Coffee Company opened on July 27th, 2018. We thrive because of local support and building relationships with our customers over a cup of coffee; relationship coffee as we like to call it. Drawing inspiration from familiar drinks and modern espresso and coffee processes, we focused our menu on the coffee first and what would go well with its widely loved, natural flavors.

Meet the Business Owner: Jonathan H.

Howdy! I'm Jonathan, the brains and heart behind Rio Dulce Coffee. Hailing from the charming town of Southlake, Texas, I've always had a passion for bringing people together over a great cup of joe. In 2018, I launched Vaquero Coffee Co, a cozy spot nestled near the banks of the Trinity River in beautiful downtown Fort Worth. After five rewarding years of serving our community, I felt it was time for a refresh. Inspired by our picturesque location and the tranquil flow of the nearby Trinity River, I knew Rio Dulce was the perfect name for our reimagined venture. At Rio Dulce Coffee, we're committed to delivering more than just your daily caffeine fix. We're here to create a warm and welcoming space where friends, neighbors, and newcomers alike can connect, recharge, and savor the simple joys of life. Join me as we embark on this exciting new chapter together. Whether you're a long-time regular or a first-time visitor, you're always part of the Rio Dulce family. See you by the river!

The coffee gods heard me It was perfect. The bartender was fun, friendly & knowledgeable. I went with her suggestion - a cold brew with a generous splash of oatmilk & caramel both as a syrup & as a drizzle over the top. I "think" that was my order. Yum. Really good. Cozy, a little funky, still classy. The back of the building opens to a courtyard for outside sitting. Also, there's a small area in front if you want to sit outside. Loved that they made it "Ft Worth" with their art, newspaper articles & accessories.

Relaxed, yet upscale vibe.

Prices are creeping up there, but welcome to the real world. Ha! Keep up the great work! Thoroughly enjoy the atmosphere.

I'm not sure of the folks at Cherry are aware, but one of the resident physicians at a nearby hospital gets their ground coffee from Cherry to share with other residents. Cherry practically caffeinates a good number of the residents there. The coffee is always good and you can smell from across the hallway when someone gets a cup of Cherry. That's at least my first experience with Cherry. Walking in it was fully packed. There was a bit of a wait. Not too bad. I ordered the Very Cherry Matcha. It comes beautifully layered with matcha on the top, milk in the middle, and cherry syrup on the bottom. The taste is also of the same quality! After you mix it all up, there's a good balanced matcha flavor that has just the right amount of sweetness. In the future, the only personal change I'd make is probably get it with lite ice. Otherwise, it was a great drink to enjoy on a beautiful day. The last thing I'd like to note is that their coffee beans are great quality. I didn't get the coffee during the visit. Though, if the folks at Cherry don't already know, the resident doctors at a nearby hospital are practically fueled by Cherry on a daily basis. Can't recommend enough!

There's a ground level and an overlooking area which I like aesthetically with additional seating. Luckily after walking around to find a seat by the time my drink was ready, I was able to grab a seat. There are outlets along the walls making it easy to charge up wherever you sit. The coffee wasn't remarkable and I found it to be a little bitter but it was okay. I was disappointed with the lack of Christmas type drinks and opted for one of the fall themed drink. I enjoyed the ambiance and was able to spend a few hours reading my book and enjoyed the amount of light and respect for quiet in the cafe. I really appreciated that the music was not loud either making it a good place to remotely work as well.

You're able to get in through the front, or back doors. Parking can be difficult, to the back making it hard to enjoy the space, however not to the fault of the shop themselves since it is in the city. Now, onto the coffee I was able to get the seasonal blueberry crisp latte with their sweetened signature , moon milk. This had a strong blueberry flavor, but not artificial it was nice and natural, and it was perfectly sweet for me. I also want to note one thing I really enjoyed about this syrup, or the flavoring was that it was sieved or concentrated, sometimes when you're making a syrup at home, you get bits of blueberry throughout it and while I don't mind those this made for a nice smooth, drink with no chunks coming up in my straw. The nice thing about the moon milk is you can get it in levels for instance 'half moon' which would be about 50% sweet. The staff was attentive, and got my order out quickly. I was there less than 10 minutes from start to finish.

It's small so if you go during peak time you might have to sit outside. Hannah B is sweet, and very helpful. She understands what it means to give good service and she takes the extra time to go the extra mile. Now to the food: I had 2 breakfast tacos and a bacon egg and cheese croissant. My favorite by far was the croissant. It was delicious!! I didn't care for the Mediterranean breakfast taco, but the quality of ingredients was good. Tip: The building says coffee on the outside and Good company on the door. I thought I was in the wrong place at first. I look forward to coming back when it's not a Saturday morning. I recommend coming here!
