Café Calidá Reviews
Have been there a handful of times. Nice and cozy. Clean. Many choices of drinks. Hand made and served with a smile. Ordered a custom drink. Oak milk, lavender latte w/honey. Barista nailed it. Will visit again👍🏽
Anton P. Adkins, owner of Cafe Calida, quote after Charlie Kirk’s assassination: “I guess he got what he wished for

I'm not mourning a racist, bigoted, xenophobic clown like him who hated me and mine. But I understand there's a majority culture that someone of yall desire to please and are fooled into think his passion of Christianity wasn't more than ensuring his check got cleared.”
We have the screenshot saved and will be taking out adds in your neighborhood.
Fast friendly service along with some of the best baked goods and coffee we have had. Highly recommend and will be returning. It’s the perfect place to be able to sit and get some work done while enjoying a coffee and muffin.

Café Calidá offers a pleasant experience from the moment one walks in. The atmosphere is inviting, featuring great attention to detail and a warm vibe. The coffee is amazing, with options like the custom Vanilla Caramel Café con Leche, described as smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced. The pastry selection is impressive, with standouts like the Boston cream donut and a recommendation to try the donuts whenever available. The food is next level, with items like the Chorizo + Egg and Lechón empanadas praised for being crispy on the outside and flavorful inside. Friendly and knowledgeable staff, including Anton and the CC team, provide excellent service and create a communal space that feels like a third place for many. With fair prices, Café Calidá is a hidden gem worth visiting. This independent shop proudly highlights Guatemalan coffee growers and ethically sourced beans, blending culture, quality, and care. Whether someone is a local or just passing through, it is a great spot to grab a bite and a drink. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a new favorite coffee spot.
