Perfect to have a really good breakfast. Their food is really good.
Great little spot I always used to go to all the time for their pan con queso (bread with cheese) and alfajores (a South American cookie with caramel and powdered sugar on top). Would recommend this place for those pastries alone.Their food is also very fairly priced for what you get. Got a plate with steak, rice and plantains ($11.75) and a mango drink ($3.75). Filled me up, the meat was high quality and a good portion, fulfilled all my expectations along with the rice and plantains.I checked their menu for their pastries/breads and they range from as little as $1 to $4 so really budget friendly for sweets.They've updated their interior and it looks modernized compared how it used to look, gives a cafe kinda vibe, which is a good thing. Staff is very friendly, made sure we had everything we ordered.I will definitely be back here to give their guava and cream cheese with cream cheese pastry a try as well as a guava drink. I also used to order sandwhiches even though they aren't officially on the menu but need to confirm if this is still possible and will order some with a side of fries to try it out. Will update my review with my thoughts on those once I make another visit, which will be very soon.Update: Went back again ordered a sandwhich and confirm despite it not being on the menu, they do make them. I got a steak sandwich with lettuce, tomato, egg and cheese, along with a guava drink and fries for only $12.50. Not only was it tasty but it beats other local places on this kind of combo in terms of price. I also got 2 whole guava roscóns (a bread with guava filling) for $3.50 each! That also hit the spot. The only thing that didn't really hit this time was the fruit drink, had a weak guava taste but I do like that they don't make their drinks overly sweet, but I'll stick to mango next time as that had a more stronger taste of the fruit. I also had mine made with water, so it's possible it tastes stronger if you have them make it with milk instead (they ask if you want the drink with water or milk). Overall I recommend this place, good hidden gem.
I did a search for Colombian food near me and Calima came up. I took a chance and went there. I felt welcome as soon as I walked through the door. A display case of delicious baked goods and the aroma of good food being prepared in the back. I ordered some food and waited a standard amount time. I took my food home and although my empanadas were missing I enjoyed everything else. The food was delicious not overcooked or dried out. I am happy Calima turned out to be a hidden gem. If you like Colombian food at a great price you should stop in. I will certainly visit again and try something different
The prices were a little high for what I got. The food was well cooked but it wasn’t very tasty. There is no service, you have to go to the counter if you want anything. Maybe buying from the bakery to go is better, but for dine in overall, I unfortunately wouldn’t recommend
Great place to eat arepa.con queso and pandebono
Excellent food, love the pan de bono and chicharrones!
The bread is so delicious! I made special visit to my neighbors and my family just to bring them this delicious bread!
A bit busy and a line inside for such a small cafe but we only stopped in for some pan con queso. Which was the right amount of sweet and a lot of cheese. Great value. Some people were dining in and their churrasco looked SO good. Def wanna come back for that.
Not sure what part of Colombia they are from but that was a no for me and everyone I shared my food with. La rosca, very dry and a different taste. Bunuelos are mini with regular size price. Beef empanadas absolutely not. They ended up in the garbage. Weird flavor and very scarcely stuffed. This were a big no. If that was my only choice I'd drive to Elizabeth every time.
Small place to dine in but good prices and good taste of Colombian food
