Cafe Dio — Restaurant in Los Gatos

This cafe is a nice place to sit and enjoy a coffee. While on the more expensive side of Los Gatos coffee shops, I too would expect the food to be better. The breakfast wrap seems huge, but sadly it’s all tortilla. The soup is as described, under seasoned and a strange consistency. I have had this soup at Greek restaurants that in no way resembles what’s happening here. Sadly, it is also this way at Deka.

I just wish they were open more days of the week and for an extra hour or two during the day as I most often pass through around 1pm, after...
