Rio Dulce

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.

We are regulars here for sure. We generally walk down every Saturday morning to sit, sip, and chat while the world goes by. We always see neighbors and other regulars so you know it's not just us that loves this place. The staff and owners are friendly & knowledgeable and always welcoming- we can't recommend it enough. Sure, there's a S---bucks or two that we pass on our way here, but we prefer to support local.

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.

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.

Fantastic little coffee shop caddy corner from Texas De Brazil and across from the Fort Worth Court house. I had a Cortado which was perfect - they offered all kind of sugar options + cinnamon on their bar cart and had the cutest seating options plus books to read. Will definitely come back next time we're in Fort Worth!

Cute coffee shop on the outskirts of FW. They have original coffee drinks like a lavender latte. You can tell that they are very mindful in their menu and selections. The staff was super friendly and kind!!

Comfortable small coffee shop downtown. Great service. Very friendly staff. Fun weird interior. And horchata lattes! As well as a fun variety of unique seasonal flavors. And they have bags of their own beans (bbq notes, sure it's Texas!). Will return. Someday.

I was walking by in the rain after chasing paperwork down all afternoon! A lavender latte was just what I needed. The place is quaint and very European looking it looks like a lot of locals go there for meetings. The menu is very cool. they is very nice very comfortable low-key. I enjoyed sitting in warming up and going through my paperwork. I felt very comfortable. It was a clean establishment. The blueberry was a very odd taste more like bread not muffin. The coffee was fabulous.

fantastic service - and great product. Got a hot tea, and the very pleasant woman behind the counter wrote the time to take out the tea bag - I really appreciated that detail.

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.
