What customers say

My son recommended this spot to meet. There is sufficient parking on both sides of the street, in addition to the parking lot right beside the coffee shop. However, please note that this parking lot is a PAID parking lot 24/7.

Always the best coffee, treats, and baristas. Vibes are great, coffee is unique and so so tasty omg. The beans are locally roasted which I love and everything is fresh. My go-to pretty much every time (also shoutout Hayley, Lily, Kaitlyn, and Emily; in the most loving hands with these beautiful people)

This coffee was outrageously good. I stopped in on my way through town and have been wishing I had this where I live ever since. I ordered my go-to: iced latte with almond milk. The espresso was a bright light roast with loads of flavor and personality. Can’t recommend enough for coffee aficionados.

Cala Coffee is a staple for coffee lovers. My family judges a shop by their cortados, kid steamers, pastry options, and interior design—and Cala nails all of it. Vibes are high, service is quick, and there’s plenty of seating.
