    Great cold brew in a cutie pie bookstore. Plenty of parking which is key in this packed town.

    Great coffee with a nice atmosphere. Tons of used books to choose from for cheap. I could have spent hours in there browsing.

    There are tourists and locals that stop in and I've enjoyed small talk with people who actually live on island.

    Love love love! Have so many positives things to say. Service is amazing - quick and very kind…read more Portions are very generous and worth the price. The crepe was filled to the brim with fruit (banana and strawberries) and Nutella. We did also opt for whipped cream, but you can ask for without. Latte was STRONG. The omelette was also packed full, this time with various veggies and even ginger! The toast that comes with is plain white toast topped with butter. The space itself is cozy and cute, although hidden. You will have to walk through a jewelry store to find it. Front of the shop is dedicated to coffee and sweets while the back is for main breakfast and lunch dishes. Highly recommend!

    We didn't get the same positive vibes as other fellow Yelpers. Sorry to say…read more To start, it's a confusing layout in a historical building. You walk through a jewelry store to get to a small restaurant that combines Virgin Islands Ice Cream shop with Calypso Cafe. Most of the seats were taken, and all we saw was a line to place your order at the front. My husband waited in line while I found a table that hadn't been cleaned yet. It was very busy there. He ordered us 2 brownies and 2 bottles of water for $16. The lady at the counter gave herself a tip by taking $3 of the change and giving him back $1. He was going to give her all the change ($4) back, but after that incident he was floored. To add insult to injury, she didn't give us what we paid for. She proceeded to help the next person in line for an ice cream shake order. We waited and waited and no one acknowledged us after trying to flag someone down. We finally got the attention of a different lady who was helping people who were seated in the back. I think her name is Cameron. She didn't fully understand our frustration, and we had to explain that we didn't get the items that we had already paid for. She made it all right, and even offered to warm up the brownies. We just didn't feel like waiting longer for it. I'm giving benefit of the doubt here since maybe we just didn't understand the ordering system. Maybe there's a service charge that we didn't know about. How could we? We didn't even get a receipt. Perhaps there's another line for Calypso Cafe? I don't know. Honestly, the lady at the counter should have informed Cameron before proceeding on to the next customer. It only takes 2 seconds. I mean, really! Will we go back? Absolutely not! We'll go somewhere else the next time we're in Charlotte Amalie. It wasn't worth the long wait for 2 bakery items and water.
