"This local gem is run by an extremely enthusiastic team whose creativity & energy make the Rio a vibrant and dynamic community hub; this is strongly reflected in the food on offer. The largely vegan selection includes locally-made vegetable samosas and onion bhajis, vegan almond and dark chocolate brownies, Hackney pirates cookies, and flavoured popcorn frequently themed to accompany the film being shown. Dairy sneaks in to the frozen selection from Hackney Gelato and Happy Endings: ice cream sandwiches include salted caramel miso parfait in a chocolate guinness cake, and blood orange and white chocolate parfait with a negroni reduction between chocolate biscuits." - Leila Latif
