Café Calaca

Very attentive.. The coffee is great, the food options are accommodating and delicious.. Its a great location to work or enjoy time.

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.

A pilar of the community, Cafe Calaca offers not only impeccable vibes, but freaking top tier food (not to mention their iced mocha is the best one I’ve had; quite literally ever). There’s a rotating artist every month or so featured on the entrance wall, with purchase-able work. At night, Cafe Calaca hosts a wide variety of events—comedy shows, spoken word slams, latinx/spanish rap/hip hop performances, book releases—you name it. Cafe Calaca is peak for a reason!! This is a MUST 👏🏻 GO👏🏻 if you are ever in the neighborhood ♥️

First everything was very cold; eggs, and refried beans. The avocado was brown and old and was served such a small amount! And nothing, nothing had any flavor whatsoever. Maybe it was the cook today….idk but I had this meal before and it was hearty and great. This is super disappointing. Times are hard right now so when I order food I expect to be what I pay for. Upon checkout, when I leaving the tip, I caught the cashier staring at what I was going to leave-made me feel uncomfortable. I’m a regular, but probably not for a while now, can’t afford bad service.

Cafe Calaca is awesome. This location was formerly a coffee shop that closed and the former baristas decided to open their own business, welcome to Cafe Calaca. Cafe Calaca is a cool, Latin-inspired business. They have been in business for one year serving their community. Everything smells fabulous. They are open for business every day, from 7:00 am -5:00 pm. However, the kitchen is only open from 8am-3pm. It seems as if they are popular because it was crowded indoors but thankfully they have additional seating in the back of the business. I chose to try the butterscotch latte and the pork empanada. I love this business.
