River's Edge Cafe
Reviews
It's wonderful to be able to get real food prepared by hand with home cooked recipes. Delicious. The service is friendly and genuine. It's not fast food and that suits me fine.
The Rivers Edge cafe is a remarkable place. Not only for great food, but for an environment and staff that makes you feel warm and welcome. As they say, it's not just a cafe, but "a place for minds to meet". And that's what you'll find here. It's a family run joint, and the staff are extremely friendly and will make an effort to get to know your name and what you like, but not in an overbearing way. You'll see a lot of familiar faces of regulars and the vibe/energy/culture of the place is very friendly to all walks. As for the food, it's delicious and very reasonably priced, especially given that they use so many healthier and organic options where most restaurants would opt for whatever is most cost effective. My favorite lately has been the "special veggie" panini. Like most things at the Rivers Edge, it's substantial, and it definitely makes a meal. Downtown Aurora wouldn't be the same without this place, and it's making the trip even if you're not going downtown anyway. (Plus, downtown Aurora is a cool place if you haven't seen it recently!) Definitely check it out for lunch or just for an americano and an amazing gigantic delicious habit-forming brownie. (You've been warned. I have a problem.)
Love the food, and staff, great coffee as well, and the new hours are a joy
Amazing, lean home cooked recipes with the atmosphere of a French coffee house. Amazing food with the best service you can ask for. I recommend the southwest wrap!
Service was extremely slow. Did not get to enjoy my lunch. Spent most of my time waiting. Food was good when it did arrive though and decor is nice.
