The editorial take
Rico's Cafe & Wine Bar offers a beverage program with two clear pillars. The wine list changes seasonally, and guests can sip a glass in the cafe or on the patio. For nonalcoholic options, the cafe serves organic, locally roasted European-drip-style coffee and smooth espresso, alongside a large selection of loose-leaf, high-quality teas that include organic and fair-trade choices. A Gourmet Iced Tea Bar features freshly brewed varieties daily. Customers mention the white chocolate huckleberry latte as a favorite, though one reviewer found a caramel coffee order flavorless and bland.
