What Joan likes about Calabria Bar:
Wonderful atmosphere warm friendly service the best cappuccinos and lattes. Awesome desserts. Especially the almond square. Great people!Never miss a visit when in town View all feedback. What Andrea B doesn't like about Calabria Bar:
Well, I went there twice once with a friend, and I tried it again for a small planning meeting with three others. Coffee was okay, but the service is very....unfriendly. I figured the first time the guy wasn't thrilled that my friend didn't know it was cash only (who does that anymore? but the other three found the service frosty. I'm not sure why. At the end of the day, there are so many great places to have coffee... View all feedback.
