    Turkey croissant with tomato soup and hibiscus tea
    Ashley C.

    I absolutely love the owner Christine!!! She is super sweet and always goes out of her way to be kind. She gave me a free cupcake and checked on me regularly. The food is beautifully served and tastes amazing! The store's atmosphere is such a vibe. I would totally come here to do schoolwork, assignments, or if I just needed to study. She played Christian music the whole time which I love and is totally refreshing. No one ever plays Christian music. Which makes me wanna come here just for that. Her hibiscus tea, which she makes herself is also fantastic. It's a must-try. I always get her turkey croissant and it's so beautiful and tastes amazing.

    I have found a new favorite place to eat. It's in franklin, if all places. The owner is very friendly and helpful, because this was my first time there. With construction going on in the front of the building, I had to park in the back. But the walk was worth it. I ordered hibiscus tea, pepper chicken with spinach rice, tuna salad croissant sandwich and red beans and rice. Everything tasted fresh, the chicken had just the right amount of heat. The tea is so refreshing. I enjoyed the food. The prices are reasonable, the interior is nice and clean. Forget the construction, go check it out

    Incredible customer service. I'm in Texas and needed to send a family friend a care package. The baked goods looked amazing but the store didn't offer delivery on the website. Doordash, Uber Eats weren't options. I called and asked the owner if there was any way to make a delivery happen. She offered to do it herself. The recipient was so happy with the baked goods, and I was so happy all the way from Texas! Thank you, Calypso!

    Cronut

    My daughter and I finally made it to Calypso today after following them on Facebook since they opened. Wish we had made it there sooner! Their pastry selection was incredible. We ended up trying the cronut and the pumpkin roll (not pictured), as well as their broccoli cheddar soup and a mango pineapple smoothie. Everything was delicious! Next time I want to try the chicken salad croissant.

    Sorrel on the menu in Franklin!!

    Located in Franklin, this place was a hidden gem. Me and my wife were headed to Zinks meat market and were looking up pastrami sandwich restaurants. It was National hot pastrami day and we like doing things like that. She mentioned that Calypso Cafe and Bakery was right around the corner. She had found it on the Facebook Cincinnati Chowdown page for pastrami sandwich recommendations. This place is amazing. Wanting a hot pastrami sandwich, we also got a Jamaican beef patty, and curry chickpeas. Not at all what I was expecting. The sandwich was fantastic. The chickpeas were fantastic. The beef patty was fantastic. They also have sorrel which is a hibiscus drink. It was very tasty. My wyalso got a brownie cookie thing which was really good. Their menu is very Caribbean which isn't something you'd expect in downtown Franklin. So glad we stopped in. Its definitely not a secret gem anymore and I'll definitely return. Have to try their jerk chicken salad, and their jerk chicken entree. Oh yeah, and beans and rice.

    Homemade cupcakes. Heart shaped sugar cookies and the best butter cookie I have ever tasted.

    Best fresh, homemade cookies,cupcakes,pastries. Everything I have ordered has been fantastic. Very clean restaurant and the sweetest owner..Highly recommended.

    Chicken curry, chickpeas, roti, hot sauce, hibiscus  tea

    One of a kind!! The food is so good unlike any other you'll shred a tear or two. The owner is a very sweet down to earth woman. Authentic Food from Trinidad. The ambience is very clean and cozy.

    Super clean and fun colors on the inside…read more Cons: 1. Parking I could see being an issue since it's a shared parking lot with several other businesses 2. The guy working did not greet one person coming in the door. But to be fair he was the only one taking orders, receiving orders online, making the smoothies, and delivering them to the tables. They should really have 2 or 3 people helping. Pros 1. Great size foe the price 2. Plenty of options for everyone. 3. Pretty big on the inside compared to other Tropical smoothies. 4. You can order online and it's super easy. 2 bathrooms, 4 tables that can seat 4, and a bigger table in the corner that could seat up to 10. I loved the colors, great menu, super clean, and the smoothies are probably the best I have had. I got the detox smoothie with no extra sweetner amd hit the spot. Definitely recommend ordering online

    They advertise that they open at 7am, but maybe don't go there at 7am expecting them to open the…read moredoors and be ready to serve you, because they might not actually open their doors until 7:15am, and then after that the one person working might be too busy working on online orders to handle your order, and you might not be out the door with your chicken quesadilla until 7:45am. Reason I say "maybe" and "might" is because maybe this was a one-time staffing problem and maybe they're usually better...but this happened yesterday and it was a big let-down and waste of time and the worker didn't act apologetic in any way.
