The Food: 2.9 ⭐️ I loved the vibe of this place, both on the inside and the outside. It's its own little world. I got the Tropical Wave Smoothie ($8-$9) and the Flank Steak Panini ($12-$13). The total came to $22-$23. The prices shown in the cafe are different from the prices online; they are higher in the cafe. The complimentary water was nice, and the cups were not your usual water cups, but I loved the uniqueness. The three workers I talked to were very kind, helpful, and complimenting. The smoothie tasted very natural, which I liked, and I loved the metal straw they gave me. It made drinking it so much fun! 🤩 (The ingredients: 🍓, 🍍, 🥭, 🍇, 🍑, 🍊 juice) The steak in the panini was really good; it was better than I expected! There was a sweet flavor to the panini that I didn't like, but

Me and my friends love going to Rio Coco. It has been a site of many great conversations, laughs, and run ins with other people we weren’t expecting to see. The pesto pepper panini is a great sandwich for any time of day, the matcha latte is prepared beautifully, and the cold brew tastes great. Yes the prices are kind of high, but they’re an independent business in downtown, so I’m not sure what others expect. My only real complaint is the heat sometimes. It’s occasionally really hot in there which can make it kinda unpleasant to sit in for extended periods which is a shame.

Liked: the coffee, the heated milk and cream, the homey environment, the flowers on table, the sentiment behind helping those who are unfortunate, good plugs for laptops, the service (friendly, fast) Just OK: the food. It's OK, not great. It's a small selection so gotta get there early or it sells out. Didn't like: 1. the heat - the air conditioning is not so good; it gets warm in there. I guess that's the Landlord's responsibility -- still. It's Florida, good air conditioning is a possibility. 2. Very talkative barista - just too loud and way too yappy - clearly overheard everything he said from his loud conversations about "killing pigs in Maui by stabbing them, I went to major in music etc" ... it was too much. Really. He needs some training as to what is appropriate and what isn'

Great little cafe! Tons of places to sit, great many options for everyone, free wifi and a bathroom! I got the protein berry smoothie which was great. Highly recommend.

A cute little spot with some mixed vibes in service… Coffee is a cultural connection and has become a way of life within this. The best part of waking up… That said, and maybe it was just me being eager to try out a new coffee spot but walking into Rio Coco I was pretty excited… and maybe a pinch tired (but hey that’s what coffee is for right?). Upon walking in the shop has a low key vibe, some older regulars hanging out chit chatting in east coast accents. All’s calm and collected. I stumble along to find where I can see the menu and where I place my order. From this I realize I haven’t been greeted yet… I pay no more thoughts about it past that the 4 young ladies behind the counter seem busy ( heads down to the grindstone). I find a menu and start looking it over. Door opens and an
