Foods great but I didn’t realize gratuity was in the bill and ended up tipping 50 percent. Great job but uggh. More along the lines of just look at the bill.

Awesome place for brunch. Never had a wait. Service is impeccable. Food is amazing. Unique menu. Our favorites are the banana foster pancakes, grits, biscuit, breakfast burrito. This place has turned into one of our go tos!Vegetarian options: Mostly tofu-based alternatives but there options that don’t have tofu in it.Parking: Limited parking however we have never had an issue when we come. Depends what time you come! When it’s crowded during brunch time, it can be worse.

Fantastic little breakfast nook with a counter, dining room, and patio. Service was tremendous and everyone was super friendly and helpful. Menu is full of all your breakfast favs from eggs, omelettes, pancakes, etc. You can also order sandwiches and quesadillas. Tons of specialty coffees and drinks as well. Super fresh and delicious. Definitely a go to place for the area.

Food was absolutely delicious ?. And staff was nice. My only complaint, is the wait time, and there is no where to wait except for a bench.

Food was great. There is a forced gratuity at 20% for everyone. Forced gratuity defeats the purpose of giving an incentive to the server to provide decent service. Despite the great food and great location near me I can’t really go there again to perpetuate the out-of-control forced inflated tipping trend.

My recent weekend breakfast was delicious. Strong, hot coffee, fluffy pancakes, perfectly cooked sides, and the staff member brought ice water without asking. Great experience!Parking: Free parking is limited but I managed to get a space.

The caramelized banana pancakes are amazing!! It's the only reason why I go there :-) My wife is vegan and loves their vegan options.

I went to Ria's for the first time in many years and was shocked that the food had gone down in quality AND that they add 20% gratuity to ALL checks. My breakfast mate asked for extra syrup and was charged $2.50 for a 2 oz. plastic, condiment to-go cup for it. Unfortunately, we won't be going back anytime soon.

No longer the Ria's that I began coming to over a decade ago. :-( I went for Sunday brunch recently and was disappointed by several things. The breakfast burrito was quite bland. I could've made the same at home, and I'm an average cook. When I dine out, I'm expecting something that has a 'wow' factor in taste, esp. nowadays given the high price of food. Understandably, it was Sun. however, my latte arrived 10 min. AFTER my food when I had requested it to arrive before. And, it only came after I reminded the waitress about it. I would've liked to have sipped and enjoyed my latte before the food came. The waitress was nice enough, however, I'm disappointed that the owners of Ria's Cafe forced me to tip her 20%. This used to be the case ONLY if you were a party of 5. Now, it doesn't matter if you're 1 or 2, the restaurants force you to pay their staff, while they pocket the money you pay for the check. Customers are out both ways. I won't be returning to Ria's anymore. There are plenty of other restaurants to have brunch at.

Ria's truly impressed me with their exceptional service, but do anticipate a 20-30 minute wait on busy days. Additionally, note that a 20% gratuity is included, ensuring that your excellent service is well acknowledged. Julie, our attentive server, made the experience delightful. The pancakes featuring caramelized bananas and pecans were a delectable highlight, while the burrito was satisfying, complemented perfectly by the flavorful salsa. A five-star dining experience!

This brought me back to Brooklyn in so many ways! Ria's is a funky and comfy spot with a very creative menu. The staff are super friendly. Generous portions and awesome vegetarian options that can easily be converted into vegan friendly versions!! While my friend and I didn't wait at all to sit down and be served, it did seem like things got busy and there was a wait. [But it is totally, totally worth it.] Highly recommend.Vegetarian options: Super tasty tofuParking: Free parking available in front of and adjacent to the restaurant
