Branzino sea bass
Ted E.

Imagine yourself in a quant fishing village in Milos, Greece, where the fishermen serve the day's catch at your table overlooking the Aegean Sea. This is where I found myself at the Calypso Cafe, savoring a roasted Branzino, topped with onions, herbs and lemon slices. The fish was delicate and mild, with a slightly sweet undertone. Save yourself a 16 hour flight to the Eastern Mediterranean and enjoy the fare at Calyso Cafe.

Desserts

We love Calypso Cafe! They have the best breakfast, sandwiches, and desserts. Our go to sandwiches are the Coronado and the Grilled Tuna Melt. We love the cannolis and other sweet treats too. The owner is so sweet and they really have the best service. It's a great convenience shop/restaurant for the area and the ambiance is so clean and homey. We will definitely be back to Calypso's soon!

Food was so delicious, staff were so welcoming and sweet. Such a cute environment, love the energy here 10/10 for everything I almost cried the lox bagel was so good

BBQ beef sandwich, garlic feta fries, mimosa.

Wife and I took a ride to this amazing spot for breakfast yesterday and we will absolutely be back anytime we are in the area. The owner was kind and accommodating, the food and mimosas were delicious, and the location is beautiful. 100% recommend.

This is such an adorable, out-of-the way place to have great food and just sit and relax and enjoy good company and conversation! Had no idea this restaurant was even there. We'll definitely go back again in the future!

My God I haven't had fish tacos this good in 30 years, when my father and I used to get up at 5:00 in the morning head to Ensenada and have fresh caught fish tacos brings back great memories and now I'm having them here close to home, on Tuesdays they're $2 each great service great food, and no these ain't your everyday tiny little tacos these are large size, we're so lucky they're just in our backyard

Paella
Sheila C.

I have been trying to try this place for about 2 years and finally made it! Always had time to go on a Sunday, but they are closed. Very friendly staff, beautiful view and great food. We went Saturday midmorning and they were making fresh paella, which was filled with many types of seafood and sausages. We could maybe finish half the portion, the rest we took for a late afternoon snack. The breakfast burrito was very good, I wanted it to be a bit bigger. On burrito size, it was on the smaller side, but delicious. The gyros plate was great too, needed a bit more tzatziki, but we could have asked for more. Great dock and dine place in the south bay!

Chocolate chip buttermilk pancakes

Everything is very fresh, and homemade, and delicious. Even better than my ex-girlfriend used to make.

Stopped by Calypso for a quick lunch and was pleasantly surprised. The Mediterranean food was excellent, the hamburger was great, and the sandwiches were delicious as well. The staff was friendly, attentive, and very kid-friendly. Highly recommend!

Patio view is the best
Christy D.

Always delicious! The kind of place you want to gate keep! Breakfast is our favorite time to go!

Parking is a bit rough since it's street parking only, but it's totally worth it. The outdoor patio is surrounded by lush greenery, making it feel cozy and tucked away. They have a good variety of both Mexican and American breakfast options, along with a lunch menu. Their coffee selection looked delicious, and we opted for the Horchata Latte and the Lavender Latte. The Horchata was a bit too sweet for my liking, but my friend LOVED it. I really enjoyed my Lavender Latte. She ordered the Florentine Egg Benedict and I had the chilaquiles. She said they were the best egg benedict she's ever had because they're served on focaccia bread. I really enjoyed my chilaquiles, especially the tangy salsa. The potatoes were crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and full of flavor. The service was good. Our server was attentive, checked on us throughout our meal, kept our water glasses full. It's a charming little brunch spot that is worth checking out if you are in IB.

Their team had everything organized & ready to go and that the staff and catering was top tier. I was so impressed! It is the perfect event space for a small-med sized gathering. I highly recommend renting the cafe as an event space for baby or bridal showers or small receptions their team will hook it up and make your day extra special! Great coffee too!!

My husband got a cortado with 3 shots and said it was smooth, robust, not too bitter, and perfectly balanced. He gave it an 8/10. Big shoutout to Josh for being so patient and helping us decide what to order, seriously amazing customer service. And shoutout to Tommy for making our drinks perfectly! Super cute spot with great vibes and even better service. Definitely worth stopping by.

We also took home some baked goods. It's so hard to find gluten-free French toast and baked goods that are actually good, and these were UNBELIEVABLE. You would never guess they were gluten-free. The vibe was cute and laid back and the service incredible. Despite the fact that it was very busy, the food came out really quickly. I will absolutely head back down to IB just to come here again. 10/10 recommend.

They also have a young man who plays jazz piano there every Sunday, so the ambiance is pretty awesome along with the nice weather. Sometimes it can get windy so bring a sweater, but otherwise, it's usually a really nice day to hang out with friends and family. I also had a matcha ginger thyme latte with oat milk which was just tasty since ginger is a rare flavor in coffee drinks. I loved it, and it was so good that I took an extra one home. The service is amazing, and on busy days you may have to wait a bit, but it's worth it. If you have any questions about a dish, don't hesitate to ask!

As always, the place was bustling! This place gives off a Beverly Hills vibe, yet unpretentious at the same time...as the service is very friendly and the menu pricing was affordable. This time, I tried their "Beverly Hills Club"...and this club was so big, we decided to just order this 1 entree and share. We added the Spicy Tuna & Crispy Rice appetizer, and this dessert, Molten Butter Cake. Well, we definitely made the right decision by splitting the club sando as half portion was more than enough. The appetizer Spicy Tuna was absolutely delicious, and the dessert was simply heavenly! Lastly, that Pina Colada Cocktail just couldn't be better!! If there's just one thing that could be improved was the speed of service. We weren't sure if the foods were just late in getting cooked and prepped, or if there's just a delay in getting them delivered...but it took quite awhile. Again, the place was bustling as well. Luckily, the ambiance of the place was so nice, we didn't mind waiting! In fact, I only wish I can return to wait some more.
