Reviews
Service was great — the man behind the counter was incredibly friendly and welcoming. My latte was delicious, and I’m already planning to come back to try their pastries next time. So happy to have discovered a new spot in the area!
Over the last 9 years, I’ve seen this restaurant location go through countless iterations, Calidum being the most recent. This time around, the owners gave the space a much needed make over. From brightly colored paint and greenery, to glossy new floors and outdoor seating, they’ve transformed it into a trendy cafe. It’s more expensive than previous establishments, but the quality is also higher.
You order at a kiosk at the front and seat yourself. Our food arrived in 15 minutes and was very hot. We ordered the Sunrise Breakfast Sandwich and Lox Benedict. The sandwich’s brioche bun was well toasted and very buttery. The egg was surprisingly fluffy and moist, which was a great contrast to the crispy bacon. I loved that the avocado was properly ripe and it was the right amount for the sandwich. The fries were thick, yet crispy and covered in a garlic salt. The Eggs Benedict was deliciously balanced, with saltiness from the capers and acidity from the lemon sauce. You also get smokiness from the salmon, which has a lovely light texture, and paprika on top. The only thing that could have been improved was the English muffin underneath. It wasn’t soggy, but the toppings were so delicate, that a crunchy texture underneath would have taken it to an even higher level, though honestly it was still delicious and well balanced flavor wise.
My only gripe is the artistic history that was removed during renovations. While I understand their choice to paint the walls throughout the building, it’s a true shame that over a decade of original cartoon network artist’s drawings were erased in the backroom. Their creative offices were a block away for years and they frequented the cafe often, leaving sketches of famous characters from a range of animated shows and movies. I hope the owners took photos of the walls before they painted over them. Perhaps they could display them as a tribute to the history of the space?
Sadly, the food and drink I had was just ok. The matcha latte was not bad, but could tasted more distinct. It just tasted a bit artificial, vaguely like Matcha, but not by much.
I was there for the much-touted Chef’s Favorite Cheeseburger, however, and just like the drink, it was largely forgettable. It’s not a bad burger, it’s competent, but not knock-your-socks off burger, and I think it started with the burger patty that seemed under-seasoned. The fries were not bad, but it’s hard to mess up fries, too.
All in all, I may give the cafe another go since there are some intriguing menu items, though. Hopefully I’ll have better luck 2nd time around.
I also had an iced caramel latte which wasnt too sweet and was nice for a hot day.
They have outdoor seating and about 6 parking spots but street parking isn’t too far. I’d definitely return.
