    While waiting to kill some time, I stopped by Cafe Calypso and had a wonderful experience! The staff were incredibly friendly and made me feel right at home. I enjoyed chitchatting with them while waiting for my food, which made the time fly by. Now, let's talk about the food! I ordered the chicken sandwich on a croissant, and I have to admit, it was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The croissant was perfectly flaky and buttery, and the chicken was juicy and flavorful. It was a delightful combination that left me wanting more.

    They have a very nice assortment of coffee beans they roast themselves, why didn't I know that? I picked up a pound of Celebes Collossi, I've enjoyed them before from other roasters and these were no exception. The young lady that waited on me gave me a hot cup of coffee, very nice. Doesn't hurt to be attached to a Half Price Books. We visit this half price whenever we're in Corpus.....and i'll pick up some beans and a coffee drink. Good prices too.

    Little tricky to find being out of towners, nav took us to Target. Cafe is located on opposite side of parking lot, street side, across from Kirkland's. Fantastic craft roaster, with an excellent espresso that's as good as our fave Starbucks/ Americano. In-house cakes, muffins and cookies (ninja ginja) too including a sugar free option, Mandarin Orange cake that tempted and a regular Mocha. Saving myself for seafood feast but hubby indulged in a soft crumb, super moist apple pecan muffin, not overly sweet. Empty the penny jar, just Cash or Checks here and an ATM right inside by the restrooms

    Since I found this quaint coffee shop next to the 1/2 price bookstore, I have visited frequently to indulge in delicious freshly made cakes, cheesecake, sandwiches and the coffee. The owner is such a nice lady, who grinds her own coffee beans, which she also sells. She was very proud of her roasting and combining different coffee beans to make unique blends. A great place to visit and try new coffee from around the world.

    Bread pudding and Mocha mousse cake. Delicious and made in house.

    Not only is their coffee great, but one can also browse through Half Price Book Store while sipping your latte.

    We were seated immediately then waited for 15 minutes to be acknowledged by a server and this place…read morewas almost empty. Finally ordered and then she comes back 5 minutes later to tell us they don't have what the hubs ordered. Ok, he asks her to give him a minute to look over the massive menu again and then she disappears. Shows back up in 5 minutes again. When we got our food which was almost 1/3 more than we were charged the last time we noticed that everything was about half the size portion as it used to be. I mean I know prices are up but either raise your price or lower the portion but both??? Dang. Anyhow good was good as always they have always had good food but service and pricing is now out of my budget.

    Service was lacking to say the least. We have been to several different locations and tonight was a…read moretotal wow even for me. 30 minutes for a cocktail, mind you my other guests were on their second round of drinks. My food was the worst Jamaican dish I've ever had must have been from their cousins not her fault. Our server Kim brought out a piping hot plate of chicken tenders and fries, for my underage teenager wow!!! That's first ever for me!!! I was a server too!!!! There was a very neat stack of dirty dishes and dirty glasses left neatly on the table. Did I mention that Kim C was our server. She did receive a very generous tip from us 20%. That's right!

    Starbucks does not appear to have any food just coffee? That was surprising. The staff was nice but…read moreservice was very slow. I was trying to stop in for a cappuccino as a lunch replacement because I was running late on my assignments for today. Probably took about 20 minutes to get my standard cappuccino on the bar where I could pick it up and head out. Another customer ahead of me also waited quite a while. They seem to give preference to the drive-through over the customers in the store. Anyway not a good place to stop if you're a hurry. My barista, did apologize for the wait, which was nice. My coffee was also smoking hot which is the way I like it. It seems like sometimes when they make a cappuccino, they don't warm up the milk and the whole thing is kind of a lukewarm conglomeration so this one was pretty good.

    I went into the Starbucks on 5601 S. Staples to get something to eat and a ice tea. I got my tea…read moreand was HANDED what I THOUGHT was my order. Sat down and saw that it wasn't my name. I have a first name that is not common and is often misspelled. I pull it out and it wasn't EVEN my order. I brought it to the attention to the employees and was told that my order wasn't ready that the person who took my order was heating it up. How hard and long does it take to heat up a cheese Danish, No the inside wasn't that busy. Any way, she brought me my Danish in it's bag and instead of placing it on the table, she tossed it and gave me a dirty look. TOTALLY UNCALLED FOR! I was nice enough and let them know that I WAS GIVEN the wrong order and this is how you treat your customers!!! FOR SHAME!!! I don't like coffee, but was given a gift certificate for Starbucks and thought I would use it at your store over the one in my area. Needless to say, I WON'T BE BACK, and I will tell my coffee loving friends NOT to visit your store!!!
