Delicious grilled sandwiches (best anywhere!) and great sweet or savory waffles, coffee drinks and ice creams. Great people and worth the wait. All in a dedicated GF facility.

Amazing! Doesn't look like much from the outside, and a little out of the way, but the donuts and waffles are amazing, and the owners are very nice. Gluten free everything, and lots of vegan choices. Even though it's out of the way, I'll be back

Super slow service, took over an hour to get two waffles and 2 coffes. One order was wrong and one waffle was over cooked to the point of almost burnt. Two stars are for the friendly service.

Had to kill some time before work and am so glad I finally checked this place out. The owner is adorable, the food is super yummy (I had the ham & cheese waffle and got a donut for later) and it's just where I want to be in a gray Tuesday afternoon. Super down to earth and cozy spot.

gluten free deep fried donuts!? It's been so long since I've had a real donut and it was incredible... but also expensive at $3 each.

I am from Dallas but go to this place every time I visit my sister. I have been here 3 times. Her gluten free mix is amazing, light crunchy and not grainy at all. I have had multiple waffles, the peppered turkey sandwich, and her homemade donuts. All were delicious!! I also tried the banana, chocolate, hazelnut, almond smoothie that was great and shared with two young kids! I highly recommend this place if you are gluten/wheat sensitive as it is a dedicated place. She also has delectable coffee!

I just tried this place for the first time today. The chocolate, banana, almond, and hazelnut smoothie is to die for! We also had the peppered turkey sandwich and the banana honey nut waffle. Incredibly and amazingly good! I wish I lived closer so I could eat here again soon!

The food is just as delicious and the service is just as friendly as it was when Kiwan Cafe Rio was located on Burnside...except the parking options are much better! Owned by an utterly delightful couple who still remembers me a few years later. The waffles are soooo good!

Kiwan Cafe Rio is a dedicated cafe...the sweet and savory waffle selections pleased everyone. Delucious smoothies with out of the ordinary choices: mint, chocolate, almond, coconut, cherry, etc. They make their own ice cream too! Grilled vegie sandwich was awesome. Three of us left very ful-filled for under $35.00. We will be regulars!
