The empanadas are incredibly small and the photos on here are deceptive. Literally the size of my MetroCard. They were fresh and tasty but they werent good enough to justify the price and size. At $5 an empanada I should not have left hungry. How is the sauce cup half the size of my empanada man. That's crazy. Staff was amazing and very kind. The atmosphere is very cool and I love the art on the walls. The backyard is nice. The food is a rip off.

Delivery is inconsistent and items have been missing even after requesting redelivery. I recommend pickup or dining in, has a good outdoor space and the drinks and food are well made.

This is my SPOT. Nicest staff and coffee in the area. I've been trying and failing to replicate their cold brew at home. I will always give this place my business.

Vibes are good, but difficult to work bc music is pretty loud. Coffee was great and WiFi works. Patio is the place to be. I think I ordered wrong but the migas were fine. Get the salsa macha !

Best empanadas and breakfast burrito I've had in recent memory. Amazing matcha and coffee drinks too
They make excellent coffee. I have been here a number of times and the coffee is consistently good. Their breakfast is very good too. Do try the beef empanadas, so good!!!

BEST cafe in Brooklyn. It always amazes me how hard it is to find the ideal cafe. Not too many people, good coffee and food, good wifi, outdoor seating, pleasant employees...Cafe calaca has it all!!!!!

Felt played by the raving reviews here. This place was mid at best.
Their menu options were very limited when I visited. They did not have any vegan options so I asked to have the chorizo taken out of my breakfast wrap. What I got was a disgrace of a wrap. Seemed like they didn’t use any salt or seasonings at all…I was surprised there were no potatoes and was told the chorizo and potatoes are pre mixed (not told prior). Left feeling like I grossly overpaid - $36 for two wraps and a coffee. Nuts!
The location is also in a weird, loud junction and definitely does not show “calm and cute” as the pictures portray. People were posted up in there having full work meetings (mind you- it’s a small tight space).
Overall, just vastly disappointed all around. Would not return.
Most delicious food and beverages, always served with a smile no matter how busy it is!
