Had a great experience here. The salmon was perfectly cooked--crispy on the outside, juicy and tender inside. The creamy sauce was rich but not too heavy, and it paired really well with the fish. The greens were fresh and balanced the whole dish nicely. Service was friendly and attentive without being over the top. Overall, really solid spot with great food and presentation. I'll definitely be back read more

Met a friend up here who saw this on Yelp as a good new place. Afterwards, we both agreed that it's "eh..." Thought we'd beat the lunch rush, and it was packed at 11:30. One over-worked employee took our order, brought out the food, and cleaned the tables. We toast her for the effort. I got the Belgian waffle, which says it comes with fruit and syrup. When it arrived, it was also covered with powdered sugar and an overly generous amount of whipped cream. (Way more than in the photo on Yelp, which I'm seeing now) Had the waffle description mentioned whipped cream or powdered sugar, I wouldn't have ordered it. This was a massive cookie, essentially...I ate what I could. (Isn't it annoying when restaurants have ingredients or items NOT listed in the description that show up?) My fellow diner had a tuna sando which he said was "fine". No sides are included with sandwiches (they cost extra - take note). Iced tea was delicious but a tad expensive at $5. There are multiple seating areas. We were towards the back as the front and outdoor were full. This back area sure was lived-in: 3 tables of people with plugged in computers there for the long haul, including 1 guy who seemingly fell asleep in the booth seating against the wall? He eventually woke up and even if he was removed, he returned and was no worse for wear. Maybe that's the designated "stay for the day area" as long as you order stuff from time to time. When we left an hour later, the front seating area was completely empty! Maybe lunch isn't too busy? Calidum has a full menu, so I'd be up for trying something else, but in no rush to return. read more

I think I've officially found my new go-to spot! The vibe here is so welcoming--super friendly staff, quick service, and such a peaceful, beautiful atmosphere that makes you actually want to stay and relax. I'm already excited to come back and explore more of the menu, but for now... I'm still thinking about those scrambled eggs with feta (so good!) [thanks for accommodating my request] and that rose latte? Absolutely amazing. Not even going to pretend--I'm definitely planning my next visit already. read more

After coming back to Calidum Cafe , it is unfortunate to say but my experience was not the same. First off , service was way different and the guy behind the register did not seem welcoming. I tried their Turkey Sandwich and was not impressed. Really basic sandwich and overpriced at $14. I previously gave this spot 4 stars but I would give it 3 stars now. People look for consistency when going to places and unfortunately it did not match the first time I went. read more

Visited 10/6/25 & 10/9/25 Their pastries are so good, especially the custard-fruit one, which became my instant favorite. During both of my visits, I came in the early evening, and the staff let me know that their kitchen had already closed for the day. Due to that, they were only able to offer the pastries displayed at the counter and their drink menu. The drinks were a bit on the pricier side, and compared to everything else, I found the beverages a little underwhelming and not as memorable. (I got the latte rose and matcha latte.) What really stood out to me was the atmosphere. It has a warm, cozy vibe with plenty of seating and little touches (ex: flower decorations) that make it feel inviting. The employees were incredibly sweet both times I came in. You order up front, and they always bring your items out with a smile. The bathrooms were also clean and well-maintained, which I always appreciate. read more

Absolutely in love and OBSESSED with the rose latte from Calidum. It is one of the best things I've ever had the pleasure of sipping on. I think about it at random times of the day and it takes all my willpower not to consistently break my meal/diet plan by having this latte every single day. As far as the food goes, I've only ever tried their beef luleh plate (delicious!). It was perfectly priced and also quite a generous portion. Calidum is a great, clean place to grab a bite with friends. It's not loud, great for conversations. Service has always been friendly. But yes... that rose latte. read more

Truly enjoyed this cozy café corner. The menu offers a wide variety of drinks and food, and the atmosphere is pleasant, clean, and lively yet welcoming. Service was quick and attentive. The interior is beautifully designed with plenty of seating options both indoors and outdoors, making it an ideal spot to grab your favorite drink and unwind. Parking is convenient with a few spots available in front; if those are full, a nearby parking structure is just a short walk away. The tea blend was soothing, and the pastry was fresh and perfectly made. read more

In the heart of Burbank, I found a charming café with beautiful French music playing in the background. I was pleasantly surprised -- such a warm and cozy place.

It's a cute restaurant cafe, that's for sure. Bright, colorful, and very inviting, Calidum Cafe evokes the 50s yesteryears vibes and makes it a very cozy place to spend your time there. Sadly, the food and drink I had was just ok. The matcha latte was not bad, but could tasted more distinct. It just tasted a bit artificial, vaguely like Matcha, but not by much. I was there for the much-touted Chef's Favorite Cheeseburger, however, and just like the drink, it was largely forgettable. It's not a bad burger, it's competent, but not knock-your-socks off burger, and I think it started with the burger patty that seemed under-seasoned. The fries were not bad, but it's hard to mess up fries, too. All in all, I may give the cafe another go since there are some intriguing menu items, though. Hopefully I'll have better luck 2nd time around. read more

I love this cafe, the food is always amazing. Not only is it exactly what you could imagine or even better for the price. My family and I try to go every time we are by the Burbank area.

Maybe I got the wrong thing, but this place wasn't for me. Got the chicken caesar wrap and the turkey club and both were pretty disappointing. The turkey club looked like spam and not turkey, and the chicken caesar wrap was 90% lettuce. I will not be returning unfortunately. read more

Was craving a late-night latte and found Calidum on Yelp -- so glad I did! It's tucked in the corner with its own small parking lot, which made parking super easy. Inside is adorable, decorated with flowers like a little indoor garden. Cozy, inviting, and the pastry display totally pulls you in. Service was great -- the man behind the counter was incredibly friendly and welcoming. My latte was delicious, and I'm already planning to come back to try their pastries next time. So happy to have discovered a new spot in the area! read more

The service was not the best. It was slow and they made little constant mistakes like making it for here instead of to go or making a drink hot instead of cold like it was ordered. Unfortunately, the matchas were not that good. Would not recommend them if you really like your matchas. I can't say anything about the coffee. It has a nice quick bites menu if that's your thing. The food was good. The place is aesthetic for sure but overall, it could use some service improvement read more

The owner is a beautiful woman and the place is very cute and clean she was very sweet and the food was delicious. We are visiting from Texas and I was very happy with this find. I ordered the Belgian waffle and the eggs Benedict and a latte, very yummy. My sister ordered the burrata toast with the side salad and it was also very delicious and full of flavor!! Highly recommend. Didn't get photos of the Benedicts and toast because we dug right on haha read more

I live in the neighborhood so I noticed when this was being built and was finally able to visit now that it's open. The space is nice and full of light. They have wifi and ample of seating indoor and outdoor. This could be a great place to work from. I will say the prices were too much for me. A mochaccino cost around $8.50 and a slice of cake was also $8.50 (without tip btw!) The coffee was pretty good but I wouldn't want to pay so much for it. As for the cake, it wasn't worth the price for me. It tasted like a cake that was usually cost $4.50. It's not special or extremely delicious to cost $7.50 without tax. read more

A new spot in Burbank right across from the police station. They have outdoor seating with large yellow umbrellas which give nice vibes. Indoors is spacious and colorful, also great ambiance. They have a display of pastries that looked amazing but I don't try them so I don't know how it tastes. Next time I will and update my review. My son ordered the grass fed cheeseburger which was reasonably priced at $15 and came with fries. They have sandwiches, salads, burgers, both breakfast and lunch items. The coffee selection is good and they have smoothies. The iced coffee I got was a bit watery but the iced cocoa was good. Customer service was ok. Overall a good place to have lunch , I would love to try other items and upgrade my review. Welcome to Burbank Calidum Cafe ... best of luck ..... read more

Calidum Café completely won me over! This place is cozy, beautifully decorated, and everything on the menu looks (and tastes) amazing. I started with their fresh-pressed juices, super refreshing and full of real flavor, not overly sweet. Then I tried the rose latte, which was smooth, lightly floral, and so pretty! The matcha lemonade was another standout tangy, earthy, and refreshing, such a perfect drink for a sunny day. For food, I had the lox Benedict, which was perfectly balanced fresh salmon, creamy hollandaise, and perfectly poached eggs. I also got the Belgian waffle and the blueberry pancake, and both were absolutely delicious. The waffle was light and crispy, while the pancake was soft, fluffy, and filled with juicy blueberries in every bite. Everything was beautifully presented, and you can really taste the care that goes into every detail from the flavors to the plating. The staff was super friendly and welcoming, and the overall vibe just made me want to stay and relax. read more

I wondered in tonight, after seeing this new cafe. I didn't know what to expect. I ordered a burger (The Route 66) and salad. I have to say that the burger was outstanding!

*Delayed post from Mar '25 Over the last 9 years, I've seen this restaurant location go through countless iterations, Calidum being the most recent. This time around, the owners gave the space a much needed make over. From brightly colored paint and greenery, to glossy new floors and outdoor seating, they've transformed it into a trendy cafe. It's more expensive than previous establishments, but the quality is also higher. You order at a kiosk at the front and seat yourself. Our food arrived in 15 minutes and was very hot. We ordered the Sunrise Breakfast Sandwich and Lox Benedict. The sandwich's brioche bun was well toasted and very buttery. The egg was surprisingly fluffy and moist, which was a great contrast to the crispy bacon. I loved that the avocado was properly ripe and it was the right amount for the sandwich. The fries were thick, yet crispy and covered in a garlic salt. The Eggs Benedict was deliciously balanced, with saltiness from the capers and acidity from the lemon sauce. You also get smokiness from the salmon, which has a lovely light texture, and paprika on top. The only thing that could have been improved was the English muffin underneath. It wasn't soggy, but the toppings were so delicate, that a crunchy texture underneath would have taken it to an even higher level, though honestly it was still delicious and well balanced flavor wise. My only gripe is the artistic history that was removed during renovations. While I understand their choice to paint the walls throughout the building, it's a true shame that over a decade of original cartoon network artist's drawings were erased in the backroom. Their creative offices were a block away for years and they frequented the cafe often, leaving sketches of famous characters from a range of animated shows and movies. I hope the owners took photos of the walls before they painted over them. Perhaps they could display them as a tribute to the history of the space? read more

I've been to many coffee shops in Burbank/Glendale as a student and artist. My internship team and I would try out different places, but my first time at Calidum Cafe and this will be my new place to do work!!! I've lived in Burbank my whole life and remember when it was the two delicatessens, then a ghost kitchen, and now Calidum! Cartoon Network employees would always come to the delicatessen and hang out for lunch and meetings. I wish it was still around as now it has become a lovely cafe :'). This place is huge and there's a ton of seating in the back area as well. Great lighting and atmosphere, and my dirty chai latte was perfect ! I know many say that it's a bit pricey here, but to be honest, it's pretty average for a cafe and if I'm staying here for hours on end doing work, then I think it's worth the cost and giving back to the establishment. I especially love that there are so many outlets!!! It is a must for me :')!!! I definitely will be coming back, just love that it's a little more chill here BUT, I do hope it gets more business so that it says for a while! Definitely recommending this place to all my colleagues haha THANKS FOR READING Y'ALL read more

Caught a movie at the AMC Burbank and I needed food bad! This place was near and the menu looked good. I ordered the huevos rancheros (took a risk) and they were pretty decent. I have definitely had better at Mexican restaurants but it wasn't bad. I paired my food with an iced vanilla latte that was nice and strong. My boyfriend ordered the simply eggs plate and he enjoyed it. The restaurant has plenty of seating indoors and a nice patio area. You order at the counter and they bring the food to your table. It was relatively empty when we got there but the service was quick and efficient. I would easily come back and try something else on their menu. read more

Let me start with the superb service in Calidum, Amazing. Worth 7 Stars. I come here quite often and I have been eyeing out their breakfast menu so this morning I went for it, and loved it. Served fast, and hot like I like it. The place itself is classy. Very well put together with intentionality. And then the owners wife came to our table with a desert that I didn't even have time to take a picture of because it was so good and it was gone in seconds, Ha! Plenty of room to bring a sizable group as well. I highly recommend Calidum in Burbank! read more

Would not recommend getting food here. Very overpriced for mediocre food and unkind service. Visited Calidum Cafe a few times because it's close to my work and was able to try a few things on the menu. Unfortunately all were very mid quality- they also messed up an order when I asked for no tomato and still received them; minor thing but when you're paying 17$ for a caesar wrap, you expect better. All three times I visited, there were maybe 2-3 patrons in the establishment and the food consistently took 20+ minutes to come out. The employees were always cold as well which really added to a rather negative experience. I was also able to try a latte, which was okay- but cost almost 10$. At these prices you just have to expect better. Would recommend going somewhere else. read more

Was excited to explore a new breakfast and lunch spot in downtown Burbank. Robust menu - I decided to have the huevos rancheros -this had a little kick to it but was a generous serving. Paired it with a chai latte. My friend had the Florentine omelette and a coffee. We both enjoyed what we selected but were amazed at how many options for both lunch and breakfast were offered. All sounding great. You order up at the counter and then sit down at tables with your food delivered directly to the table. The inside space is very generous and there is also a good amount of outdoor seating. The service was fantastic. Servers came back around several times to check in and the owner checked in to see how we're doing. Plenty of street parking in and around with a few spots at the restaurant. I parked a blocked away in a parking structure. read more

Love this place, best burger in Burbank...in all of LA, in my opinion. Lots of other good stuff, pastries, and fresh juice all really tasty.

I visited Calidum Cafe for the first time just to grab a morning coffee, but after taking a look at the menu, I decided to come back later for dinner with my girlfriend--and I'm so glad I did! The menu is very affordable, and the shrimp with their signature house sauce was absolutely unforgettable. Everything was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. The atmosphere and service were excellent--very warm and welcoming. Whether you choose to sit inside or outside, both options are equally comfortable and enjoyable. Their freshly made fruit and vegetable juices are like a burst of pure vitamins--so fresh and refreshing! I definitely recommend Calidum Cafe if you're looking for tasty, affordable food in a clean place with a great ambiance. Personally, I now get my morning coffee from Calidum almost every day before heading to work. Highly recommended! read more
