A Persian-inspired cafe situated in Castro Valley with a poetic touch, offering specialty coffees, teas, and Middle Eastern desserts in an artistic setting.
The staff are very attentive, the atmosphere was busy but also cozy. I enjoyed that they provide both indoor and outside seating.
I like that they use a local bakery for baked goods and the butter crossiant and berry scone did not disappoint. Coffee and tea were served in adorable mugs. Delicious flavors!
Although I did not partake of the hot items I enjoyed the delightful aroma as well as visually observing the dishes. I will forsure try them next time!
The next time you are meeting a friend or want to treat yourself check out Café Rumi.
I had the Pink Chai at this café and I’m still thinking about it. It was hands down one of the best specialty drinks I’ve had in a long time. The flavor was rich and creamy with the perfect level of sweetness, and the spices were smooth and well balanced nothing overpowering, just pure comfort in a cup.
The gyros are delicious and so are the lattes. They offer gluten free wraps and thus opened up gyros for me again! The chicken is the meat that is gluten free. they were kind enough to tell me without my asking. Caring staff, great food! Will come again.
I was passing through from the Bay Area and needed a place to kill some time due to terrible traffic conditions. The service I received was truly top notch. The atmosphere was nice and calm. The food was absolutely fantastic. The morrocon Tea was the best thing I’ve had since I was 10 at my grandparents house!!
Grabbed a latte to go. Price was very reasonable at $6 (one size only). The cafe has a very cozy and quiet Turkish aesthetic and would be nice to spend more time in. The coffee was great, only feedback is it was a bit short on ice.
