    Calypso!!! Best breakfast and lunch!  Unexpected treasure to find!!! The food is so delicious and the service is outstanding!!!

    What an unexpected treasure to find! The food was amazing and the service outstanding! Love this place! They even have a boat dock so you can pick up lunch on the water.

    Imagine yourself in a quant fishing village in Milos, Greece, where the fishermen serve the day's catch at your table overlooking the Aegean Sea. This is where I found myself at the Calypso Cafe, savoring a roasted Branzino, topped with onions, herbs and lemon slices. The fish was delicate and mild, with a slightly sweet undertone. Save yourself a 16 hour flight to the Eastern Mediterranean and enjoy the fare at Calyso Cafe.

    Food was so delicious, staff were so welcoming and sweet. Such a cute environment, love the energy here 10/10 for everything I almost cried the lox bagel was so good

    Great find!! Authentic Greek vibes Sat on the deck and watched the world go by... Will be back!!

    BBQ beef sandwich, garlic feta fries, mimosa.

    Wife and I took a ride to this amazing spot for breakfast yesterday and we will absolutely be back anytime we are in the area. The owner was kind and accommodating, the food and mimosas were delicious, and the location is beautiful. 100% recommend.

    We love Calypso Cafe! They have the best breakfast, sandwiches, and desserts. Our go to sandwiches are the Coronado and the Grilled Tuna Melt. We love the cannolis and other sweet treats too. The owner is so sweet and they really have the best service. It's a great convenience shop/restaurant for the area and the ambiance is so clean and homey. We will definitely be back to Calypso's soon!

    Chocolate chip buttermilk pancakes

    Everything is very fresh, and homemade, and delicious. Even better than my ex-girlfriend used to make.

    This is such an adorable, out-of-the way place to have great food and just sit and relax and enjoy good company and conversation! Had no idea this restaurant was even there. We'll definitely go back again in the future!

    My God I haven't had fish tacos this good in 30 years, when my father and I used to get up at 5:00 in the morning head to Ensenada and have fresh caught fish tacos brings back great memories and now I'm having them here close to home, on Tuesdays they're $2 each great service great food, and no these ain't your everyday tiny little tacos these are large size, we're so lucky they're just in our backyard

    Paella

    I have been trying to try this place for about 2 years and finally made it! Always had time to go on a Sunday, but they are closed. Very friendly staff, beautiful view and great food. We went Saturday midmorning and they were making fresh paella, which was filled with many types of seafood and sausages. We could maybe finish half the portion, the rest we took for a late afternoon snack. The breakfast burrito was very good, I wanted it to be a bit bigger. On burrito size, it was on the smaller side, but delicious. The gyros plate was great too, needed a bit more tzatziki, but we could have asked for more. Great dock and dine place in the south bay!

    Calypso outside patio.

    Stopped by Calypso for a quick lunch and was pleasantly surprised. The Mediterranean food was excellent, the hamburger was great, and the sandwiches were delicious as well. The staff was friendly, attentive, and very kid-friendly. Highly recommend!

    Highly recommended!! Food and services were perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Patio view is the best

Like several other places on this street, this place gets slammed constantly, especially on weekends. Even so, the customer service is super fast and friendly. They really try to stay on top of my coffee cup. The coffee itself is a really smooth and balanced flavor. The traditional diner appearance is also great. The only reason I would give 4 stars would be the chicken in the chicken and waffles.....which is not even bad. I have high standards for this in particular. Thinking about it again, there's a lot of bad chicken in this country, but I've rarely had bad chicken in chicken and waffles. Maybe it's because a breakfast place wouldn't attempt it in the first place if they couldn't make it well. I found this portion to be a bit light on the actual meat. The breading is excellent, but I can see that the meat starts to become drier in the sections where the meat is thicker. And, of course, still a bit lean. I believe chicken for chicken and waffles should be dark meat, like any self respecting Asian should. Lmao. Grits were good too.

The cinnamon roll was a total waste, took it home and so bland, lacked any flavor in the roll itself, the frosting was the kids favorite. For a cinnamon roll to have a splash of cinnamon in it is bizarre. It felt like Clayton's was cutting corners hoping people didn't notice, while still charging a lot for their shrinkflation. Service was ok, it took forever for the server to just come up to greet us, to the point the hostess went and got waters for us. Again not the normal for this establishment, but still very blah and disappointing. For how expensive things are I would not eat here again. Normally we would visit numerous times in during or time here.

She ordered the buckwheat crepe, filled with salmon, spinach, tomato and capers. Lovely. I had the short ribs hash with a poached egg (i ordered two additional eggs, but, honestly, they weren't needed). The hash is made in-house (it's amazing!) and topped with raclette cheese.

But nonetheless the dark interior and laid back environment was pleasant. Even with the laid back environment, the service was attentive and helpful. You can check out my 2 menu pics for the thematic food and drinks that are available. We started with the Volcano Fries. This dish starts with your basic fries, and goes up from there. As you can see from my pic, there are plenty of seasonings on the fries. But it's ALL about their sauces: Sriracha Aioli and Hot Honey. (BTW, the heat wasn't overly hot and didn't distract from the flavors.). Between the garlic, the sweet/heat action, the creaminess of the Aioli, these fries were very hard to stop munching on. While not a super-phenomenal appetizer, it was incredibly irresistible. We then finished with the Pineapple Fried Rice with Spam & Portuguese Sausage, see my pic. We liked the combination of the fried rice with the rich meats (yes, I classified Spam as a meat. This reminded me of some of the Hawaiian Spam dishes.) The seasoning was rather weak. But it still was a hearty and robust meal.
