What XH doesn't like about Cafe Rista:
Somewhat conflicted. The guy running this sandwich shop knows how to grill a sandwich to the perfect thoroughness and texture and consistency. However, the Reuben we got had like two slices of smoked meat, of which wasn’t particularly flavourful to begin with. Good smoked meat sandwiches in my restaurant history has always had the smoked meat piled on!Yet, there’s so much potential! A small supplier and meat quantity... View all feedback. What Candice Marie likes about Cafe Rista:
The perfect sandwich spot! Whenever I'm in the area, I need to stop by Cafe Rista to grab a bite and some caffeine! Simon makes the most delicious sandwiches and wraps. They regularly offer different special items, I particularly like how there is also a new drink on the menu.I've always had a pleasant experience at Rista!! View all feedback.

Cafe Rista offers a pleasant neighborhood cafe experience with a focus on grilled sandwiches and decent coffee. While the sandwiches are reasonably priced and well-cooked, some customers have found them to be lacking in flavor and traditional ingredients. The cafe's atmosphere varies depending on where you sit, with natural light at the front and a darker back section. Overall, the potential for improvement is noted, especially in terms of meat quantity and supplier choices. However, the cafe has received positive feedback for its customer service, event hosting capabilities, and unique drink offerings. Despite some mixed reviews, Cafe Rista seems to have a loyal following and potential to become a go-to spot in the area.
