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 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!!
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.
Wow, how do I even begin to describe this place??
I just fell in love with this place. I have been going here for so many years that the service has memorized my order.
I go here every Wednesday for a quick Chai since my school starts later.
And the bagels, OMG HOW DO THEY MAKE IT TASTE SO GOOD???
Wow, just wow. Five stars all around.
Who ever loves Coffee - highly recommend coming here. :)

One of the most unique spots around!
This cafe has a great vibe — not traditionally cozy, but definitely full of energy and personality. The atmosphere is very vibe-y in the best way. The staff genuinely try their best to deliver great service, and that effort shows. What really makes this place stand out is the crowd — such an interesting mix of people, full of character and charm.
I used to travel a long way to come here, and now that I live nearby, I’m really happy I can just walk over. My go-to order is a cup of latte and a salmon bagel — my favorite comfort combo.
Highly recommended for anyone looking for something real, welcoming, and just a bit different from the usual.
