Great spot for a quick coffee or a business meeting.

Excellent coffee cafe. They make special chocolate that is breathtakingly attractive and great for presents. I 4got to take pictures. Its worth a visit. Been back today july 23 /2021 and bought 18 chic as presents. See pictures. John

This is a five star coffe outlet for those who can appreciate quality coffee - personal touch in roasting, brewing, barista and service ... and something nice to eat as well

Awesome atmosphere, freshly roasted coffee for the coffee connoisseur, a cut above the rest.

Great coffee and service, accompanied by relaxed atmosphere

Wonderful atmosphere, great food and awesome service

Great coffee and a nice quiet coffeeshop with a very relaxing atmosphere. I had an eggs benedict with spinach which was absolutely delicious. My partner had a chicken and avo ciabatta. We both really enjoyed the food and the atmosphere all together.

Amazing atmosphere, friendly delightful staff and just a comfy spot to come grab a delicious meal, or drink coffee in front of a laptop for several hours

Stunning vibe, beautiful people, great coffee.

Great spot for reading, writing, and chilling. Great coffee vibe and culture that makes you want to drop in for the daily morning cuppa.

Very impressed. Great coffee, great service

Awful coffee, service non-existent.EDIT after owners response:Ill take my review from two stars to one star due to the owners lackluster response. Saying my review is vitriolic is dramatic, and an over exaggeration of note - the only bitterness here (initially) came from the terrible cup of coffee, and there is certainly no malice in a bad review. If I could find someone who looked like they may be in charge I may have opted to speak to them, however we could barely find anyone to pay us any attention during our visit - this is not a fault of mine, and I shouldnt have to take more time out of my day to speak to a manager or owner to tell them how to manage their own cafe. Your patrons are not your managers, and this review simply reflects the experience I had.Having viewed the owners responses to other reviews, it is clear that they switch between failing to understand the purpose of a review and simply being steadfast in their own opinion that any negative review is objectively wrong.So here is the constructive review you wanted:Learn to take negative reviews and deal with them accordingly, without getting all worked up about it. My review accurately reflects my experience, and if it is one bad review stacked against thousands of positive ones, it should not negatively reflect the overall image of your institution. If we did catch you on an off day where you dropped the ball, then that clearly is an outlier, as my review would then be. There are far better ways to deal with negative reviews than this arrogant owners sorry attempts.

Caloroso is one of those old favorites. You always come back because of the good service and atmosphere.

I love this place! Calvin and his team are so friendly and the special breakfast is amazing!

Decent cup of coffee... its a nice a place.

Good coffee, good service and good ambiance. The only issue I had was having to pay separately for the honey.

Loved their coffee

Warm and nice

Very friendly service, excellent coffee and good food.Would definitely recommend!

EDIT (after response from owner):Actually you are grossly misinformed and incorrect. We visited your coffee shop during the week. My partner and I ordered a coffee and a latte, where we waited over 20 minutes to be served. Attached is the picture I took. We wanted to order food and we were ignored. It took a further 10 minutes to get the bill that we paid with zapper because nobody even bothered to bring the card machine.In terms of your covid19 complaince - no. Both doors were closed during our stay, staff had exposed noses with their masks and no menu or table was sanitised IN OUR VIEW.Your customer service is ground bottom and your response proves this. I stand by my not recommend.Terrible service. Bad coffee. Not keeping up with covid19 compliances, our menu was not sanitised, our table wasnt sanitised, no doors or Windows open for ventilation. We came for breakfast, but left after we got coffee. Wouldnt recommend.

Good food, friendly service and great coffee. Was driving through George on a trip and had to stop by, definitely a gem.

Coffee is one of the best in George area.Do not judge quality by the look of the buildingWaitress is friendlyFood served is excellent

Cosy cafe in the centre of town. I had a cappuccino and a scone. Both were lovely and the scone had an almondy taste which I enjoyed. The cappuccino could have been a bit stronger but it probably comes down to personal taste. I was somewhat disappointed with the desert menu, there could have been more of a variety of cakes. Nonetheless, the experience as a whole was good. The highlight was the exceptionally friendly staff. Everyone from the waiter to the barista to the lady that cleared the table were friendly and accommodating. I also loved the cappuccino art. Well done!

Excellent coffee and atmosphere. Calvin and his team provide great service with a smile. The menu provides many tasty options from juices to lunches. Perfect location for meeting up with friends or sitting down to get some work done.

High-quality service. High-grade speciality coffee. Best blend in the Garden Route and the pioneer Café of local coffee culture in the Southern Cape.

Best coffee and amazing food!!! Try the breakfast pancake xxx

Good coffee, delicious cake and friendly staff.

Great coffee, friendly service and relaxing atmosphere

Always love stopping by and grabbing an amazing cappuccino. Great vibe, super friendly and helpful staff. A must visit if youre looking for a trendy coffee shop.

A well thought out coffee shop with good service and very good, locally sourced coffee. You are also able to purchase small confectionery items such as chocolates.Decor is well thought out and the ambience is very relaxed. The art work on display is absolutely excellent and almost all of the pieces are for sale.Menu items are quite expensive and whilst being very good, it is a stretch to say they are worth it.

The shop you want to be seen as a regular.Amazing staff, awesome management and great vibes.

Lovely place for coffie

Always 5 star products and service.

This perfectly situated little resting place is used by a lot of folk who enjoy a very well made cup of coffee just the way they like it.The owner and all the staff are warm and welcoming.I particularly enjoy their lattés and eggs Benedict.

Friendly and great coffee!
