It's ok but it has it's quirks. The female owner is always there and micromanaging everything in the kitchen, working the register as well as chatting up the customers and boy can she talk! I'm sorry but put me into the category who finds her overbearing and annoying. The first time ot was cute now its just like ugh. Don't come here if you just looking to get some food and go without a wait. The food is pretty good but everything takes a while, even the sandwitches, even if it's not busy. It definately seems the process of whatever they're doing could be streamlined a bit sometimes people order good to go because they have other things to do and places to go. Ordered 2 breakfast sandwitches one day before fishing and it took 25 minutes for an egg and cheese! Won't ever do that again. Prices are high but normal for Coronado I guess. Their dinners are very expensive I paid about $25 for some Alfredo. It was good but not $25 good. The place is nice inside for what it is and sometimes they have a guy who plays piano and sings which is classy. read more

Calypso Cafe - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Coronado, California

Fabulous food with a wonderful staff that goes above and beyond! This gem tucked in the Coronado Cays community is well worth the drive or walk, if you are lucky enough to live in this fun boating community. This cozy, waterside restaurant offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner on certain nights. They also feature live music with dinner occasionally. During this recent visit we enjoyed a lunch and a dinner. When we walked in for lunch the proprietor was just finishing some "sliders" which two of us tried immediately. They were the tastiest and BEST we've ever eaten The salads were also fresh and flavorful. Dinner was exceptional! We started with Caprese made with lucious burrata and sautéd calamari in a succulent sauce you'll want to soak up and eat with the fresh bread. Entrees included a lovely lasagna and chicken with an abundant supply of mushrooms in a rich gravy - all cooked to perfection. I was torn between the rigatoni and the Gorgonzola gnocchi but our fabulous (and fun) waitress said "I'll surprise you." The gnocchi came and I was indeed delightfully surprised! Perfectly cooked potato dumplings swimming in a rich, garlicky, creamy sauce! Amazing. The portion was so big the left overs provided a light dinner for two the next night. Yum! I don't know why there isn't a line out the door especially for dinners. I can only guess there aren't enough folks sharing this gem. BTW: if you like lamb shank, call ahead the day before and place your order. It's beyond fabulous! I'm not related or affiliates with this cafe -- just a big fan! Buon appetito! read more

This place is a nice beautiful spot on the water. The owner is very nice and gave us free cookies! Love this place!

We ordered takeout for dinner. Their chicken and rice was awesome. In an effort to meet my plant based diet, they made a great rice, squash, asparagus, and wilted greens dish. Great food and great service!! read more

The food was delicious! And the hospitality is amazing. This is a place we're coming back definitely! I ordered benediction and it was delicious, filling and arrived in perfect timing. We walked into this place and the next minute we were laughing and having a great time. read more

We visit from Tennessee often. They always recognize us and make us feel at home. The food here is fabulous and we love the pastries. The portions are overly generous. We never visit San Diego without a stop (or two) here! read more

Poor quality food. Customer service is sub standard. Food is sloppy looking, like it was thrown together. Over priced for the quality served. read more

This place should be shut down. The food is terrible and the service is worse. The lady who runs it doesn't know good customer service. It seems like she treats this place as a hobby and not a business always running around scatter brained. Multiple times I've waited in the front not being helped, hearing her in the back either on the phone or talking to one of her staff. I asked for a muffin one time and she microwaved it for 5 minutes and forgot about it. I had to remind her it was sitting in the microwave. The food is way overpriced for what you get. I ordered a breakfast sandwich and I received one egg on bread that was barely toasted no butter, one tiny piece of bacon. I've been this place a few chances because I live in the cays and it's our only cafe here, but no more. It's unfortunate it's the only option being so terrible. read more

Delicious food, amazing service & wonderful people! My husband and I were in Coronado for the weekend at my company party, staying at Loews Hotel. Breakfast at Loews was absolutely packed; the in-lobby cafe line was absurd and room service was 100% booked at 9am, room service line would not pick up the phone. So, we hopped on our electric scooters and went 1.3 miles south to Calypso, honestly expecting it to be packed as well but we were pleasantly surprised, greeted by a lovely woman (owner) who was so genuine and personable, and above all hospitable. There were customers but no line. You can tell from the beginning this is a mom-n-pop place but very high quality. We ordered coffees, a tuna sandwich, and the tastiest blueberry muffin we've ever had in our lives! On top of that the owner was so sweet and kind, and told us a story about her family. This type of business is rare these days and so appreciated. We will be going back in the morning and many times to come when we visit! read more

This a your basic tiny cafe, nothing stood out in particular other than the higher than average prices. $6- fruit bowl that contained 5 cubes of cantaloupe and 6 cubes of watermelon. $8 mimosa $5 orange juice Sandwiches are about $6.50-$8 (with no sides). Plates are about $11 each. The menus boards prices are not accurate, they have the real prices (about $.50-$1 more) on a paper menus by the register. The food was good, but nothing stood out as particularly tasty. Service was okay, they forgot part of our meal, and we had to wait in line to ask for it, and by the time we got it, the rest of the meal was starting to get cold. read more

Hana made us feel like we were are apart of the family. The atmosphere is beautiful. The food was so delicious my friend and I had a great time. If you have the chance please come to The Calypso Cafe read more

Everything is home made with deep flavors. Off the beaten path and worth the drive away from the packed part of Coro! Owner is super nice and genuinely welcomes you in. Take this detour...definitely order the cippino...definitely sop the bread in the cippino...I don't have to tell you that your instincts will guide you to it anyways! 5 Period! And we eat all over. read more

Saw a lot of reviews and pictures of their food on social media and made it a point to check it out. This wonderful woman Hannah took our order. We found out quickly that she is the owner of the cafe. We had a wonderful chat and she is just so passionate about her cooking and is always adding different dishes to the menu. Short on time, we just ordered burgers today and they were so tasty and juicy and just all around yummy. We want to come back for dinner and try their pasta dishes and calamari!!! It's a casual and friendly vibe. Please make a point to come by. It's tucked away in the Coronado Cays residential area. read more

Good food in a beautiful place. This cafe is perfect for people staying in the Cays. Plenty of parking and even a charging station if you are driving. There's outdoor seating so you can bring your dog. Hours vary but M-Sat 8:30- 2. Good cinnamon rolls, espresso, hamburgers, French dip sandwich are my favorites. read more

My husband an I favorite hidden gem ! The owner is an amazing woman an is super nice ! We can bring our dog . The food portion is perfect and the food terrific at whatever time we arrive. The bear claws are to die for !! read more

The food here is only mediocre and the prices are as high as any full-service restaurant even though you order at the counter, but I used to come just to support a local business. Yesterday the owner treated me so rudely while I was trying to order that I gave up and walked out. Not the way to earn return business. Shame. read more

The cafe has a great view of the water on the back patio. The employees were very accommodating with my special request regarding food and the hamburger I ordered (no bun no sauce) was made with quality meat. We also ordered a chicken salad which had quite a bit of chicken and fresh lettuce. If in the area give it a go, we will definitely be back. Great service as well. read more

This place was disgusting. I don't know what people are eating here to give it such good reviews. Their iced coffee was so watered down it looked like ice tea. My husband ordered a $5 mocha. She first dumps chocolate syrup in the bottom, then filled the cup up with ice, milk, then espresso. The chocolate sauce was not coffee chocolate so it didn't mix. It was gross. Then out came our food. I ordered the sandwich. The sausage was HOT DOGS. Like what?!!! The eggs were dry. The bagel was a processed bagel you buy in packs at the grocery store. My husbands pancakes tasted like cake batter and were extremely dry. The put a huge chunk of cold butter that doesn't melt. My friends food wasn't any better. I wish I could get my $20 back so I could go eat somewhere else. Would never recommend. read more

Great place for breakfast. Menu not overwhelming at all...not like the others. Love the ambience and the view of the beach. Its literally next to us. We ordered the Islander and Meat omellete. The islander could use more seasoning or salt. Was a tad bland but great food. The manager is an amazing owner. Full on customer service from her. The bus or waiter is great as well. Rating this place 10 out of 10. Keep it up. Love the customer service, food and location. Thanks you. read more

Calypso Cafe - great place for simple breakfast and awesome customer service. Amazing views. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Coronado, California

Horrible experience even before entering. We went in at 7am and there was a woman and a man talking. I gave them a few minutes to speak as it seem pretty heated. After 5 or so minutes, I've politically asked if it was open. Both looking annoyed, they both yelled it was later at 8am even though it states 7am. I wasn't even worried about it being opened later but the fact the guy said "so get out of here!" really irritated me. I was really surprised that they would say that to a customer who came to try this place out so I just thanked them clearly befuddled. Look, I get you might have some drama but for us just looking for a nice place to eat, having employees act like that in front off the establishment looks bad. read more

Just enjoyed a nice lunch here. Sandwiches were good and the beer was cold. Nice view of the bay from the outside tables. I'd definitely come back if we are in the area again! read more

Great hidden gem of a location. We had breakfast here and enjoyed the environment and relaxed atmosphere. Overall great experience.

We landed in San Diego and needed a little place to eat before checking into our Air B n B home for the week. We sat outside and enjoyed the gorgeous views! The gyro was delicious along with the fun variety of bottled drinks. The owner greeted us at the counter and engaged us in lovely conversation. It was a quaint way to begin our San Diego vacation read more

This café is such a hidden gem! They have amazing hot food, gourmet snacks, beer, wine and coffee. I always stop in for a little pick me up midway through transversing the Strand. The outside seating is so picturesque over looking the Cays canals. I strongly suggest stopping in for a great meal and a chat with the owner, she is always so upbeat and personable. I will be returning soon! read more

This is our favorite spot to go after a morning on the water. The food is great and menu various We love it

Great local homemade fare. The sandwiches are especially good and nice to pick up a few grocery items while there.

The food was good, and this was exactly what I was looking for--a nice little place to eat a full breakfast (the potatoes were nice and crispy, not soggy, which I feel is usually the case). The ice coffee was DELICIOUS and the people were very nice. I sat outside on the back patio, and it was the perfect little place to read and fuel up for the morning. Glad I found it! read more

I absolutely love supporting small businesses like this! Perfect for breakfast and lunch. The owner was an absolute sweetie, very accommodating and professional. The cafe is so cute and overlooks the port of yachts. The patio area is peaceful. We had the special of the day, shakshuka with eggs, an arabic delight. The huevos rancheros was delicious and had a nice kick! Will definitely dine here again the next time I visit! read more

I just moved my boat to Coronado Cays Yacht Club, and am delighted to find, with a short walk, what is the best or very close to it the best burger and fries in whatever area you choose. Yes that includes Rocky's. Great sunset view with several gondolas plying the canal. Price is about average, and the wine list is really good. Oh, and there are other great options, but I have only looked at the table of others so far and I like what I see. Jerry on Serenity read more

This little place is a hidden gem. We just happened upon it after a conference and looking for a small bite to eat and wine. Do NOT let the outside fool you. We didn't get a whole meal, but the smells make me wish we didn't have reservations elsewhere. The hummus was perfect. The owner very friendly, outgoing and witty. We sat on the patio and enjoyed our wine , hummus, and great view. We WILL be back for the lamb shanks that smelled like heaven. Go. You won't be disappointed! ! read more
