The most hip place in Corpus. Cash only and being attached to Half Priced Books keeps the pretentiousness down. Fresh baked treats and coffee are really good. I recommend the “Blondies”. Probably the best place to sit and enjoy a coffee in Corpus. Reminds me of an international hostel in the 90s lol. 10/10

Love this little cafe! It’s a great place to study, the atmosphere is relaxed, quiet and the coffee/goods are delicious. The baristas are all very friendly! Plus they have wifi, and it’s always nice to pop next door and get a book after you finish your coffee:)

So I decided to pop in and try the Cafe. I didn't realize it was cash only. The atm was giving me a hard time and I told the young lady at the front. She told me is was OK. I truly will return. That was a very kind gesture.

An awesome place in the South side to study or work. Their WiFi is pretty good.

I’ve been coming here for years. It’s one of those places that, you must go by when in CC. Local to the core and a favorite by locals as well. The only downside: It’s cash only. There’s an ATM inside though. Plus, the friendliness of the staff, the great service and the homemade pastries, more than make up for it. It’s definitely an authentic coffee shop. They roast coffee as well, so you can buy some for home/office. You could grab a book from next door at Half Price and come on by to Cafe Calypso and enjoy some coffee w/a good read.

They have a very nice assortment of coffee beans they roast themselves, why didn't I know that? I picked up a pound of Celebes Collossi, I've enjoyed them before from other roasters and these were no exception. The young lady that waited on me gave me a hot cup of coffee, very nice. Doesn't hurt to be attached to a Half Price Books. We visit this half price whenever we're in Corpus.....and i'll pick up some beans and a coffee drink. Good prices too.

The espresso is like no other. Perfectly balanced with the chocolate. I love that it actually tastes like coffee!!! It’s not too sweet like the other mainstream coffee places, where all you taste is sugar!! I would recommend this place to real coffee drinkers. 100/10!
