Emerald Hub at Calypso

UPDATE:
Terrianne made a lovely lavender cappuccino with perfect foam today! The lavender is a delightful change from the usual syrups!

We've been in our condo for 4 warm days, but today is in the 50s. I decided to try Emerald Hub for a cappuccino and breakfast.

I am pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food and coffees! I ordered the Breakfast Sandwich on artisan nine grain bread. First of all, it is served on huge slices of moist whole grain bread. 2 eggs lightly scrambled and cheese on top. You have options of turkey bacon or turkey sausage. This is $8 and definitely could serve 2 people! I took half back to the condo.

Everything was fresh and hot! The staff was helpful and friendly. I will spread the news and be back during our stay at Calypso Tower III!

We are staying in the calypso Tower number three and we found this gem on the first floor and we have had breakfast there twice when I say the avocado toast is the best I’ve ever had. I mean it’s the best I’ve ever had my grandson and my husband had a breakfast sandwich and a breakfast wrap both amazing. I tried the cheesesteak today. It is one of the best cheesesteaks I’ve ever had. Had a nice chat with the general manager. He was as nice as can be. I highly recommend this place.

I went during the Ironman and it was the only place open near the pier in the morning. My expectations were very low because they only had one person taking orders and making the coffee. Ordering took a while but the wait for the food was quick. The breakfast was actually tasty (haystack) and had a good amount of food. The blueberry doughnut was flavorful but cold. There was ample seating inside and outside. They packed your food ready for carry out. The place was also clean.

I would go back

Not sure what people are praising. A bit sad interior and exterior. I expect a nicer atmosphere in a beach vacation hotspot. Unclear parking signage / google maps navigation.
The coffee was not good either - very sour. Would recommend starbucks nearby, if you look for coffee only

I came in at 12:15 on a Thursday afternoon. For a couple donuts and a coffee. The donuts were cleaned out and It took 20 minutes just to get a coffee. There was only one worker in the place and a steady come and go customers… if the place was managed better and adequately stocked then I would have given a better review. A poor experience but at least the vanilla coffee was decent.

The food was delicious and convenient. The staff were friendly and helpful. I ordered a salad but I don't remember the name of it. I refer to ot as a superfood salad. It had a honey vinaigrette dressing. Can anyone tell me what it was called and what the ingredients were? I would love to try and remake this at home. Thanks!

This place is absolutely delicious! Super friendly staff, very tasty food, and a chill vibe for getting out of the sun and water for a bit.

Philly cheese steak was really good, the shrimp tacos were fantastic, and the burger was really good quality beef!

Highly recommended, as they have a variety of many types of food, with healthy options as well

We ordered takeout, spent over $100 with a 20% tip, and pretty much everything was disgusting. The sandwiches had the wrong ingredients, were watery (there was water dripping out of the bread, how does that even happen?) and the garlic fries tasted awful and were just plain fries, no salt, and a mountain of raw garlic. You can find better food at a gas station, I don’t know where all the great reviews came from. Also the employees are extremely rude and apparently mad that you had the audacity to show up and ask to order something.

This is a very convenient and reasonably priced food option near the beach. I went to get breakfast, ordered avocado toast for me and biscuits & gravy for my husband. Both were huge portions and very tasty, made fresh. We also got the maple bacon donuts, they were really good.
The iced Americano I ordered was very tasty, I added lavender and vanilla syrups for a treat.
There's lots of seating, a wide menu, and a convenience store in the back, it Even has souvenirs.
The staff were friendly and I'd recommend this place highly.

Kid-friendliness: Nice wide open space and plenty of chairs, good for kids (I have 7, I'm familiar with kids).
