Had a delicious brekkie everything bagel with turkey sausage and tomato jam. My wife really liked her PB protein power bowl. Iced vanilla latte was good as well. Will be back during our stay.

People on the street were asking me where I got my iced pistachio latte with cold foam. It was delicious! My barista, Abbi, also recommended getting the umami sauce on my breakfast bagel and it really made the sandwich stand out. Will be sure to make Cal’s a go-to for my weekend coffee or a quick breakfast.

I stumbled upon this coffee shop and was blown away by how good everything was — not just the coffee, but the food too! You can tell they put real care into their menu. The breakfast sandwich I had was easily one of the best I’ve had in a long time — fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. Whether you're into breakfast sandwiches, acai bowls, fresh juices or just a great cup of coffee and a pastry, they’ve got something for everyone.

What really makes this place stand out, though, is the service – especially Rose. She’s warm, attentive, and always remembers your name and order. You can tell she genuinely enjoys what she does, and it makes the whole experience feel personal and welcoming.

If you're looking for a cozy Coffee spot with delicious breakfast and top-notch service, definitely give this place a try. And if Rose is working, you're in for a treat!

There is no better customer service than at Cal’s Corner. I emailed about an experience I had and the owner himself immediately responded and resolved the issue. Not only that, Cal went the extra mile and offered me a complimentary order.

This bagel is toasted to perfection. Melty cheese, a hint of balsamic glaze, thick slices of grilled chicken and bacon. It was so filling and satisfying. I am so impressed and highly recommend cal’s corner for the impeccable service, kindness, and quality. Well worth it.

Cool place and decor. Interesting private conference room I’ve never seen in a cafe. Kind staff.

Not so good: why is the breakfast burrito so small? At least use a smaller container to make it seem bigger. And the bagel sandwich is actually bigger with a smaller container, go figure. They both taste good but would be so much better if the cook SEASONED THE EGGS. I had 3 separate meals with eggs not salted, is this on purpose? Would recommend hot sauce or standard Mexican verde salsa, the chili stuff you have is weird.

I came in Oct 1 around lunch time. I ordered the BLAAT and when I got home I realized it was the Tuna Salad sandwich which unfortunately I do not like, so I had to throw it away.

Issue has been resolved, Thanks

We came in this past Sunday morning 9/15 and had to wait a very long time for one breakfast burrito. We even had gave a server tip. After we finally got the burrito, one of the employees told us he would refund the whole order, but we have yet to receive any refund. I have tried calling multiple times and no one is picking up, and there is no voicemail option. Can someone from the team please contact us? We just want what we were told we would get.

Order was through the InKind app and under Heli Shah

I got the worst breakfast burrito I’ve ever had for $20. Not only was it premade frozen, but it took them 35 minutes to heat it up and give it to me. It was still cold on the inside. There were flies all over the donuts at cashier, and the employees looked disheveled. This is a below average over priced coffee shop and I urge you to avoid it, even if your girlfriend tries to drag you there.

Very rude and unwelcoming environment. Coffee was weak with no flavor.

I was on the hunt for a place to that I had not visited before. I found Cal's Corner and am I glad I did. My breakfast sandwich was delicious. I can describe it as Rich in ingredients and taste. It contained eggs, cheese, and thick slices of bacon all in between two slices of a bread with hints of jalapeños. Wow, totally satisfying and tasty. I believe you'll like what you choose to order. They're just that darn good.

Breakfast sandwhich was awful. Eggs tasted fake and were way undercooked. Could not even eat it.
