    Trying a new cafe in Chula Vista!!
    Monica A.

    So good we had to visit again..... Mia helped us with our order today. She greeted us right away. Very sweet person and offered to help us with any questions we had. What we ordered: * Strawberry Matcha, 1/2 sweet * Hazelnut Pebble Latte, 1/2 sweet * Bacon, Egg & Cheese Croissant w/ Avocado (forgot to take a picture) * Belgium Waffle This visit was just as good as our first. Food & drinks were great. So many different beverage & food options. You're also able to customize anything you like..... Nice & clean establishment. Great vibes all around. #DiningWithTheAndersons #Cafecito #BreakfastDate #YummyGoodness #CristalloCafe

    Came back for a 4th of July pick me up. And so glad they were open. They were a little bit behind as it took a while to get my wife her coffee. My wife and I each had our drinks, I had the Strawberry Matcha it was good not anything special. Wife had a Hazelnut pebble latte. Food we shared a waffle and breakfast croissant. The crossiant I recommend having them add some Garlic Aioli. The waffle was very fluffy highlight of the meal. Both were great. Minus parking being the only downside as it is in a location only has street parking. The vibe is always corner coffee shop. A must try.

    Really great customer service here. I was greeted right when I walked in, which immediately made the place feel welcoming. I ordered a latte and they even offered me a first-time customer discount after asking if I was around from there, which was such a nice surprise and honestly a really thoughtful touch. The latte itself was really good too. Parking was a little tricky since the cafe is part of an apartment complex, but I was able to find street parking a block or two away without too much trouble.

    I stopped by this recently new coffee shop in Chula Vista at the ground floor of the Cristallo Apartments. I ordered an iced Americano with 2% milk and a touch of cinnamon and the peanut butter toast on wheat. I was a little disappointed with the iced coffee. It was harsh and had a bitter after flavor. It did not offer that rich smooth coffee flavor that I was hoping for. I did not finish it. I hope they improve the coffee. I am not sure if it was the roast or the lack of cleaning of the espresso machine. The peanut toast was good. It would been better on a thicker artisan toast, but it was tasty. It was nicely presented but the intricate presentation limited the amount of fresh bananas and strawberries on the toast. The bread needed to be roasted a little more as well. They offer plenty of inside seating. The young lady working the day I visited was very nice. She had a good upbeat personality and was very friendly.

    This cafe is super cute and the staff was so nice! First, there is no parking. They are at the bottom of an apartment complex so you have to find somewhere to park. The employee did tell me if you call in, they can make your order and text you when it's ready so you don't have a parking issue and can stop in the loading zone and just pickup. Second, the coffee was meh. I tried the banana latte and after trying this at a few popular San Diego coffee shops, I was underwhelmed. I work right next to Galu but wanted to give this place a shot. It did taste very banana-y but tasted very artificial and was SUPER sweet. I only drank half and that's because I let it water down a little. HOWEVER, I also tried their bacon breakfast croissant and that was pretty good. For the price, I'd come back for that alone.

    really great customer service! Cute place & great view. Loved the vanilla latte. Clean place love it!

    Service is amazing .. esthetic is cozy and welcoming .. and have variety of drinks and food items to select from !

    We went to Kalaveras for Happy Hour and we really enjoyed it! This was the Chula Vista location on…read more3rd Avenue, used to be the old Fudruckers. Parking shouldn't be an issue, they have spots in the front but then there's the big garage right behind it, and it's free. There's also street parking but you might have to pay. The place itself is very spacious and clean. They also have an outdoor patio for dogs. I do know later in the evening it gets louder and more like a club vibe, but it's not bad. Service was perfectly fine. I had no issues at all. Staff greeted us with a smile when we walked in. They were always checking up on us when we needed things. No issues at all. I thought everyone was doing their jobs. Happy hour is so worth it here. $1.99 tacos! I had the carne asada, birria and Chicharonnes tacos! While the meat portions look small, y'all need to realize this is happy hour street tacos! Adding some salsa from the self serve bar, it was so worth the price. We had 11 tacos, cheese nachos, 2 beers and 1 margarita and it was about $50! So worth it! I highly recommend Kalaveras for Mexican food. Great vibes. Great happy hour prices. I think this place is good for large groups also. It may not be kid friendly later into the night but it's very worth it!

    Was visiting San Diego for the weekend and my friend recommended Kalaveras for Sunday Brunch…read more They opened at 10, and we were one of the first to get there. The brunch buffet is definitely worth the price. The food was excellent, the service was attentive and fast and the music and indoor area was cool. I can't wait to be back in San Diego to have brunch at Kalaveras again. Authentic Mexican food, friendly service and great vibe.
