About this place
When choosing a coffee, you can stick with the house blend or try the flavour of the day. RIE COFFEE serves varieties such as French caramel cream, vanilla and cinnamon hazelnut, offering a change from the usual cup. The house blend is described as balancing bitterness, acidity, aroma and body. One drinker also noticed a nutty aroma, making it a good choice when you want to take your time over the coffee itself.
For a lighter bite, pair a coffee with a ham-and-cheese toastie. One diner found the simple filling let the bread shine. If you are avoiding caffeine, decaf is also available: it is made with a house blend of 100% Arabica beans and hand-dripped to order, one cup at a time. There is a breakfast menu, and some visitors have enjoyed a toastie and coffee in the morning.
For a more substantial meal, consider the hamburger steak, made with 100% beef and simmered in demi-glace with red wine as a secret ingredient. One diner’s meal came with a salad; another visitor mentioned avocado among the hamburger steak’s accompaniments. Other options include Bolognese spaghetti, carbonara, creamy cod roe and squid pasta, and butter chicken curry, so the menu ranges from a coffee break to lunch.
To add something sweet, choose from homemade muffins or deep-roast coffee jelly. Whether you are after a cup to savour for its aroma, a light snack, a meal or dessert, there are options to suit the occasion.
