Café Calidá

I’ve been going to Calidá since it opened and rented the space for a personal event. I have nothing but great experiences with the owners and the coffee is always delicious. I love the pastries and snacks they offer, and the atmosphere is lovely. The space is always clean, full of natural light; there is plenty of places to sit and read or work or chat. It’s a really cute place and DEFINITELY worth a visit.

I recently visited a lovely coffee place and had a great experience. They served me “a mini quiche” of sort, which I really liked, and the most amazing oat milk latte I've had in a while. The place was super cozy and inviting, making you want to stay for a while. Totally worth a visit!

From the moment you walk in, the warmth of this place is undeniable. The customer service is always spot on—friendly, attentive, and personal. It’s the kind of coffee shop where they remember your name, and if you go often enough, your order too. I love the Guatemalan touches throughout—it adds so much character. And every specialty latte I’ve tried has been absolutely delicious!

Let's start off with the location, corner of North Ave & St. Luis. Upon entering, there is spacious room in the back. The barista is super friendly and polite. We had the cafe con leche, could be a little stronger. Blueberry muffin, yummy, and fresh. And a Blueberry scone also fresh. Overall i will be returning.

This is my go to neighborhood coffee shop. The atmosphere is friendly and feels like what coffee shops used to be before social media turned everything into a photo op (not that there’s anything wrong with that, if that’s your vibe). The lattes and the coffee are delightful and so reasonably priced I am a little nervous to write this. I never regret stopping in at Calidá.
