Calisa in Liverpool

Precioso y acogedor café. Gran servicio y comida encantadora. El café parece tener un montón de clientes habituales, que siempre es una buena cosa para ver. Sin duda volveré!

Hola. llamé hoy para un BLT para llevar. Recogí 10 minutos después después después de que había estado en la oficina de correos local. todo fue genial, mi BLT era como se esperaba. el precio era de £ 7. 75. wow. Era tocino, lechuga y tomate en tostadas. Asegúrate de averiguar el precio primero. Me sentí asaltado.

Our 2nd visit here & what a fantastic place this is!! Delicious coffees & teacakes & the breakfasts looked amazing too!! The welcome is so lovely & a fab atmosphere...what more can you ask for!! 😊xx

Have been going there for 10 years. I even held my husband's wake there last year. They very kindly charged at cost. Recently, last week and this week, I have been with friends. One waitress decided to shout at me. This week she shouted so loud the whole cafe could hear. It was about a topic I wanted to talk to the owner about. She must have eavesdropped on private conversations. Because of her behaviour, I shall not return.

Staff very friendly and accommodating to our added extras, I had eggs royal which was done to perfection and the other 2 in my party were more than happy with their choices. Relaxed and unpretentious

Popped in to pick up a couple of toasted sandwhiches to takeaway. While waiting had a lovely cup of tea which came in a little tea pot & a cute little knitted tea cosy on the pot plus milk in a mini milk bottle which was really lovely. Friendly, welcoming staff & delicious toasties enjoyed by myself & husband. We'll visit again very soon!!

2 visits in 2 days, one for coffee and a catch up with a friend and second for a family meal. Despite them being very busy on a Monday lunchtime, we were accommodated on a table for 5 as we had been let down with another booking. The food was all fresh and delicious and the desserts and coffee were lovely. Above all the staff are so professional, always smiling and no matter how busy, always chatty. They take very good care of and are so good to their regular customers. They also do home cooked dog treats, that my dog adores!

I love this place. Food is great and always full of people just having a brew and chatting. Food is freshly made and cakes are amazing.

Fabulous food, brilliant service, very welcoming and cozy! We had huge teacakes with strawberry jam and delicious cappuccinos! But I had my eyes on the homemade cakes.. Totally recommend.

Visited today with friends. All had their homemade soup. Absolutely delicious! We all live Calisa. Fantastic food and fantastic staff

Lovely. Excellent home made soups - particularly vegetable and chicken and rice. Full of flavour . Today’s was the Christmas version, Turkey and rice which was lovely. Also recommend their lovely toasties and cakes.

I used to go here a lot for oat milk lattes, but it seems like they now use really awful cheap oat milk that is definitely not made for baristas (no froth, tastes bitter).. See picture of the oat milk ‘flat white’ that I was given… Had to chuck it in the bin unfortunately and made my own instead. Such a shame as they used to do great coffee. Still nice staff but I’m disappointed in the huge drop in quality :(

Went for lunch and treated a friend but sadly awful - the chicken soup was watery and basically full of carrots and the accompanying sandwich was worse than home made, on ordinary sliced white bread - poor and such a shame

Breakfast item was not fresh. Fresh home made cakes would be great addition. Staff are nice and friendly.

Have visited before and never been disappointed. I had sandwiches and my friend had a panini and we were both very satisfied with our food. All served with a smile and good humour. Will be back!!

Just been to the most amazing little eatery at Childwall Triangle in Liverpool. With 2 friends who bypassed the local pubs looking for a nice place for a cuppa, bite to eat and a good catch up. We hadn’t booked anywhere, but knowing there are a few places at the Childwall Triangle we drove there. Parked up and spotted cosy little cafe Calisa. There was seating outside but we opted to try get seat inside. We walked inside to a lovely atmosphere of customers sat chatting/eating at various tables. The place isn’t big but it oozes charm and warmth. We looked for a vacant table and a guy and his wife told us they were just leaving/settling their bill and we could have their table. However staff told us there was no need to wait for that table and a guy James quickly moved another 2 tables together further inside and the 3 of us were quickly settled into our seats. We ordered 3 pots of tea whilst we looked over our menus to determine what was on offer and what we’d be choosing. The pots of tea arrived, complete with a lovely colourful (handmade) woollen tea-cosy on each which was lovely and added to the charm of the Calisa. Lovely cup and saucer each, with biscuit on each and separate jug of fresh milk (love that instead of those horrid little milk pots other places serve as milk) 2 of us ordered homemade Scouse, with the option of red cabbage or beetroot. These were served with a fresh baked roll and butter. The chunks of steak in the steak was plentiful. Lovely and hot. Tasted delicious 10/10 x 2. I ordered Tuna jacket potato. I was given the option of Tuna with or without mayonnaise. I opted for “just a little” mayonnaise. It was served just as i’d ordered, jacket potato, portion of tuna mixed with a little mayonnaise plus some salad. Also 2 small packs of butter incase I wanted to use them with my baked potato. Lovely and hot, nicely seasoned. Good size portions. Tasted delicious. 10/10 from me. We were not rushed and we chatted, ate and drank our tea. Ordered another 2 pots. Asked if we wanted fresh cups but we said no thanks we’ll continue to uses the ones we already had. 2 more tea pots arrived, complete with their wooly tea-cosy and biscuits provided to each of us 👍 One of my friends only has small appetite so didn’t eat all her Scouse. James who was looking after us asked if she’d like to take it home as Calisa would box it up for her. She said no but in the end we agreed to have a “doggy pot/box/bag” and take the leftovers home for my dog (a yorkie) as there was plenty of steak in it she’d love 😂🐾 James returned with my doggy pot 👍 Before we each used the the toilet facilities. Small Room on ground floor. Lovely little plaques and quote pictures on the wall (yes i read them all 😂) Most ladies judge a place by how clean/good the venue toilet facilities are. The Calisa’s is full of character, spotlessly clean and has everything you need. The 3 of us agreed this was a little diamond of a place. Fabulous ambiance. Great quality food. Clean and cosy venue. Friendly staff and great service. A fantastic find.. Thank you James for looking after us today. You and everyone who was working there today are great ambassadors for the Calisa cafe. We’ll be back 👏👏👏

My friend and I went to Calisa to talk through some work and catch up over a coffee. We ended up ordering brunch and thoroughly enjoyed it. Food was hot and delicious and service was delightful. Have been to Calisa several times before lockdown and this is the first time since. We'll be back!

Meal was great. Wonderful food, perfect coffee, delicious cakes coupled with excellent service. Who could ask for more? Highly recommended.

This is a nice cafe. The food is good, with an emphasis on homemade pastries and savoury dishes. You can sit indoors or outside and it is very dog friendly. Staff are pleasant, although youth and inexperience hamper efficiency at times.

I went to Calisa with some friends a week ago for lunch for one of my friends' birthdays. Once we'd ordered we then had to wait a full hour for the food to arrive, which was only lukewarm. However what really annoyed and upset us was this: one friend had brought a small individual birthday cake with her but when she asked the boss if he wouldn't mind bringing it out to us after our meal, he refused. He said that they don't do that, they have their own cakes. I can honestly say that of all the many places I have dined at I have never known any refuse to bring out a previously bought birthday cake. Only last night we ate at the Eureka for my husband's birthday, and not only did they bring out our cake at the end of the meal, but also added candles! (which I had forgotten to buy!) So come on Calisa, let's see some good will, not this mean spirited attitude. I have lunched at your place several times in the past, but I won't be returning in a hurry.

Excellent Afternoon Tea, great selection of sandwiches and cakes. Great value Going to book again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Looking forward to a roast chicken lunch/take away. The best thing about lockdown is James’s take away meals. Also the best take out coffee in South Liverpool.

Visited here a few times, most recently this week. Had great food, drinks and service this time as usual. Pet friendly and a great menu. Highly recommend. We must make sure we support small local independent places like this or risk losing.

my friend and I love it here. Great food. Excellent service. Lovely quaint surroundings. Social distancing in place. Love supporting our local business

We had a lovely lunch, we sat outside so felt perfectly safe. They had hand gel and wipes ready for all customers to use. Food was nice, would recommend.

Lovely takeaway coffee during the covid lockdown. Service was friendly and it was well set up to make distancing from staff and other customers very easy.

He estado aquí varias veces durante los últimos años desde que lo encontré con mi pareja para reunirnos y ponernos al día con amigos. Cuando venimos suele ser bastante tranquilo, ya que llegamos hacia el final del día para tomar un café rápido o dos, que son agradables y hacen buenos pasteles y pasteles de té. Llegamos una vez temprano un sábado y estaba muy ocupado, logramos conseguir un asiento, pero solo nos quedamos para tomar un café, pero la comida que se servía se veía y olía deliciosa. Admite perros, pero las mascotas siempre se portan bien y tiene un ambiente agradable. Nuestra visita más reciente fue en mayo de 2019 para una reunión rápida con amigos. El personal es muy acogedor y esperamos detenernos para desayunar o almorzar en algún momento.

oh my goodness the people in this cafe are so rude and lacking in any customer care. which is sad because the food actually tastes nice. However, all of our orders were wrong no apologies only abuse.

Fuimos a desayunar con personas que estaban de visita. Mala experiencia previa, pero pensamos que les daríamos otra oportunidad. Esperaba que fuera bueno esta vez. ELLOS estropearon nuestro pedido: artículos equivocados en el desayuno, cosas faltantes, etc. Se disculparon por el fiasco pero luego cobraron el precio completo. Cuando dije que faltaban cosas, dijeron: era mi problema, no el suyo; Solo debo disfrutar refunfuñando; y se negó a quitar nada de la cuenta. Se volvieron francamente groseros! Es nuestro nuevo café local, pero han sido tan groseros dos veces que me sentiría muy incómodo al volver. Horrible servicio al cliente!

Se cometieron varios errores en nuestro pedido de desayuno, hasta el punto en que nos confundimos sobre qué plato era cuál, y dejamos de señalarlos, para no causar un escándalo. La comida era buena, pero cuando se mencionaron los errores, no se reconoció que los errores fueron por parte de la cafetería, y cuando se expresó el descontento, un miembro del personal fue totalmente grosero, en lugar de disculparse.

We use this as a breakfast or coffee stop when visiting relatives nearby. Consistently friendly, freshly cooked food. Lovely atmosphere. We'd join the book club if we lived closer.

He visitado aquí muchas veces con mi tío abuelo y mi niño pequeño. La comida siempre es deliciosa y el personal es muy encantador. Por lo general, tenemos el inglés completo, que es delicioso, pero esta semana probé el BLT, ¡que era igual de hermoso! También me di el gusto a una rodaja de limón. . . ¡GUAUU! ¡La MEJOR llovizna de limón que ha pasado por mis labios! ! ! ¡Este lugar siempre será uno de nuestros favoritos!

nice cosy coffee shop and coffee good quality. Despite the coffee being cheaper in Wetherspoons round the corner, Id rather give Calisa my custom as its a local independent business and staff are friendly.

Voy a decir que la comida estaba bien, era el personal. Llegamos y solo quedaban 2 mesas ocupadas. Después de pedir nuestro té, les tomó 10 minutos traerlo y tomar nuestro pedido. La razón principal por la que hablaban entre ellos y no se concentraban en sus clientes. Una vez que ordenamos, tuvimos que esperar demasiado tiempo y fue muy molesto escuchar la conversación constante entre el frente de la casa y la cocina. La pareja que vino después de nosotros esperó aún más tiempo para que su orden fuera tomada. Sé que estaba listo para salir habiendo esperado tanto tiempo.

I went here with my 2 Sister in laws for a little catch up after it being our Birthdays, we had afternoon tea and prosecco, which was thoroughly enjoyed, They do allsorts of flavoured coffees etc, light meals and sandwiches, also do a great breakfast.

Sólo he visitado un café por la tarde, así que no puedo comentar sobre la comida.

Siempre disfrute de una visita aquí, buen ambiente, buena comida, café encantador. Nunca me ha decepcionado. Interior tradicional, siento como si estuviera en mi casa de grans. . . ¡en el buen sentido! Hogar a hogar. El servicio puede ser un poco lento en las horas punta pero el personal es muy amable y servicial. Encantador ambiente relajado para pasar charlando con amigos tomando un buen café.

Me acabo de mudar a la zona y estuve aquí algunas veces con amigos y familiares. Hay un ambiente cálido y amigable cuando entras y la comida es exuberante con un buen tamaño de las porciones. Definitivamente quiero probar más en el menú.

I work remotely from coffee shops across town, and Calisa is one of my favourite places to go. It's in a leafy part of Childwall, with a cosy and warm atmosphere. Brilliant selection of food, drink and cakes. Wifi available if you ask.

The Eggs Benedict was just perfect today. Lovely, runny eggs and, this time, the bagel was soft and delicious. They make excellent coffee here too.

Este es un delicioso café local ubicado en el suburbio, al sur de Liverpool. El personal es realmente encantador. La lasaña de hoy era deliciosa, llena de sabor y acompañada de una generosa ensalada y un poco de pan de ajo. Gran tarta de queso también. Todo es casero y de excelente calidad. Un lugar encantador para un descanso.

Este es un agradable Café, ubicado en la zona residencial del sur de local de Liverpool. Hay una pequeña zona de estar exterior y la interior es acogedor y confortable. La comida, hoy, era muy buena, aunque el bagel en mi 'Huevos Royale' fue muy duro. Por lo demás no tengo quejas. Merengue de limón era precioso. Tienen una gran variedad de comidas y bebidas y el personal son muy agradables. Precios moderados.

We watched the champions league final here. The food and drink were amazing. The staff were really friendly. The night was utterly ruined in the end by the stupid German lad in goal who destroyed my dreams, my wife’s dreams and my small children’s dreams. I cried myself to sleep in the end. I will be back though next year when derrrrrrrr mighty reds win it.

We visit Calisa often for breakfast. The staff are always really friendly. The coffee is always hot, with a lotus biscuit on the saucer. We mostly get the vegetarian breakfast, and it’s always lovely. They always have lots of homemade cakes. If you live by Calisa it’s always worth a visit.

I love Calisa, James and his staff are lovely, always really friendly and happy. It’s fab as they allow dogs in....fantastic. They make a real fuss and even bring them a bowl of water without even asking you if you want one! Cakes are brill and the pot of tea gets top marks! Thank you!

Me encanta este lugar y ha sido un cliente habitual desde que abrió sus puertas. Los aspectos positivos son infinitas: acogedor, el personal es servicial, la comida, todo el fin de semana día desayunos, menú de elección inteligente (yo soy vegetariano, las opciones son vastas), excelente té y café. No importa cuán ocupado esté el lugar puede llegar, el personal siempre se esfuerza para encajar con el cochecito en mí. Nada es demasiado para ellos, y esto es lo que hace que la larga lista de clientes habituales volver una y otra vez. Si estoy en mi propio y buscando una taza de café, con fisura mis dos bajo dos (el hijo mayor le encanta el lugar y está en primera términos nombre con todo el personal. Pagar una visita) o improvisadas con la leyes para el desayuno, el personal en Calisas siempre te hacen sentir bienvenido. El té de la tarde es también excelente relación calidad-precio y mi madre y mi padre loco el domingo asados!

I visited for your cafe for the first time hoping to enjoy a small snack I ordered a quiche and coffee I couldn't see the price list it wasn't clear when I was told £9+ quite frankly I was a bit shocked I payed hoping for something special but was anything but really unpleasant overcooked quiche tasteless salad and cold slaw the coffee was OK but it was only a filtered coffee?

Visited for the first time last week and have to admit to being impressed. For such a small place, the menu was comprehensive and prices, competitive. I enjoyed Eggs Florentine with perfectly poached egg - runny yolk, yet hard white! This is somewhere I will certainly return and introduce to my friends.

Cosy place to meet your friends, nice food , reasonably priced.lovrley local place to meet friends for brunch .

Estábamos visitando a Liverpool por primera vez justo abajo de la calle. Tres de nosotros fuimos a Calisa el domingo por la mañana para el desayuno. Los tres de nosotros tuvimos desayunos excelentes, muy buen café, buena gente, buen ambiente y una buena relación calidad-precio. No podía pedir nada más, sin duda volveremos y lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

Ha sido para el desayuno y no era bueno. Pedimos huevos revueltos suavemente y no estaban, el tocino era tan fresco y más preparado, no pude conseguir mi cuchillo a través de ella, por desgracia nada tenía ningún sabor. No la mía, pero mi compañero cenamos la mayoría de su porque él era muy hambrientos. No sé del punto de ensalada al lado de una salchicha en pan tostado, especialmente cuando se ha visto mejores días.

Desayuno encantador vegetariana. El café también es precioso. El personal es encantador. Las tartas caseras mirad siempre precioso en el gabinete de visualización. Bien merece una visita.

Excelente servicio y personal amable! Los pedidos pueden hacerse a pedido y se la llevaron sin una queja. Un montón de opciones sin gluten y lácteos gratis disponible en el bordo (pasteles, tartas y sandwiches) que lo convierte en un lugar estupendo para comer para todos.

Looks a little tired from the outside:Admittedly it was nearly 5pm on a Saturday so it was quiet anyway. We were served with our coffees and cake within 5 minutes. Lovely little find and if passing again, I will pop in.

I've just had a Sunday roast dinner from Calisa. Absolutely delicious. Staff are professional & friendly. I would highly recommend.

I go here regularly for coffee and sometimes a snack. Their cheesecake is really good. The staff are friendly and there is always a nice atmosphere.

A great little family run place. Service is friendly and fast. Lots is stuff going on, eg charity events etc. I would recommend this place.

Had lovely breakfast with my husband. Good quality sausage & bacon. Small coffee shop but really nice. Good food & lovely staff.

Called in last week with my mother in law, we didn't reserve a table but were seated straight away. Mum and I ordered sandwiches mine came toasted in error (BLT) but I wasn't bothered. Food was really nice we struggled to finish as sandwiches were so big. Would highly recommend.

on entering you are greeted by friendly happy staff.the place had that cosy feel to it.The Cappuccino we had was very good and well priced as well were the teacakes!..I have a loyalty card and only need two more drinks then its a free one,but that will have to wait untill next year when we visit again.I would highly recommend this nice coffee shop without hesitation.

The inside of the cafe is kinda small, but the decor makes it cosy and quaint. The staff are super friendly and the food delicious. Definitely worth a second and third visit!

Visited for breakfast. Good quality food and good service. Nice surroundings to chill in. Thought it was a bit pricey though

Fantastic food and service. We have eaten here a few times as it is over the road from our flat. We love it. The breakfasts are great. The coffee is excellent and the cake is homemade and brilliant. Defiantly go!

Stumbled across this cafe really as I had 20 minutes to kill and it was cold. However I was delighted by the coffee and lemon meringue pie, I was expecting the usual dire factory produced stuff but it all looks homemade and tasted great. The staff were friendly too, welcoming and prompt service. Can't believe I haven't been in here before.

The staff were lovely, food was great! A good place to hang out with a friend or do uni work with free wifi and overall nice and cosy! Love it's support for different charities even though it's such a small business!

When your tea pot arrives snuggled up in its own hand-knitted tea cosy, you know you're in safe hands.I visited Calisa with my mother and baby son on a rainy morning and it didn't take us long to forgot the cold and damp outside. We and every customer who walked in were greeted like old friends.Our waitress couldn't have done more to help us get our baby settled and entertained us with stories about her own children. All the staff were attentive and friendly.The food, it goes without saying, was excellent and great value. We'll definitely be returning to sample some of the gorgeous-looking cakes under the counter very soon!

I visited Calisa for a MacMillan Coffee Morning, even though the event had started - staff were kind enough to serve me a delicious breakfast of Eggs Royale. The morning finished at 11.30am with over £500 raised for this wonderful cause. Well done Calisa, I will be visiting again.

Really nice compact place. Good well cops food. Staff very helpful bit not annoying. Nice understated place menu is comprehensive.Enjoyable lunch. Seems like lots goes on there.

I have been going here regularly enough for over 16 months mostly with my little girl ,every time the staff have been excellent and really friendly even when she makes a mess . The service is fantastic and food is very tasty something for everyone. We could do with a few more cafes like Calisa’s

Well I went here with friend looked nice on outside when we went Inside it smells greasy not to nice we had coffees and cake coffee did not taste like coffee just tasted of milk for the price they charge you expect it to be a decent coffee and cake was dry was not impressed to say the least staff are OK but clearly don't have the customer skills up to standard yet.sorry to say we will not be back.

It may be a small cafe, tucked into a corner of quite a busy road, but inside the decor is cosy and comfortable and the staff are extremely attentive but never intrusive. The full breakfast is cooked to perfection and I was advised that everything is freshly cooked - I could tell! My partner ordered a panini and was informed that he could have whatever he liked in it (from an extensive list of ingredients) as these were also cooked fresh. Although it may be more expensive than your average-joe cafe, it's worth the extra few quid as I have never had such excellently cooked eggs and such a cute pot of tea complete with home-knitted tea cosy. I will most certainly be back as I was given a loyalty card entitling me to my 7th hot drink free - after two hot drinks each in one visit, we already have 4 points down! I also enjoyed an amazing Rainbow Cake slice from the delicious selection of homemade cakes, cheesecakes, scones and traybakes. I was told it is also possible to reserve a place for afternoon tea, and I saw another couple enjoying this while I was visiting - it looked amazing! Definitely the friendliest staff and the best breakfast in all of Liverpool. I loved it so much that I got myself a job here, and after only a few shifts I would still come any day to eat the food as the kitchen is clean and the food definitely is the freshest possible!

we came here for afternoon tea and it was a great experience. we booked the day before and were not disappointed. the service was fantastic and the afternoon tea had a wide range of snacks including scones, fruit tarts and lots of mini sandwiches and pies. would definitely go there again.

It's always great when you go somewhere on the offchance and it come up trumps. On our way out for the day we spotted Calisa and fancied a cooked breakfast. Service was excellent and the food was delivered really quickly, but all home cooked to perfection. The sausages were especially nice and the poached eggs are really tasty. Will be going back again soon to try the other meals on the menu - I don't know what a homity pie is but it looked delicious. Next time!

An excellent, and well priced, coffee and cake, whilst attending a meeting at nearby Hope University. Friendly service at this small but comfortable coffee shop.The service was excellent, I was told to attract the waitress's attention if I required another coffee.During my visit there was a small party of supervised children, a group of excellently mannered teenagers.

Went there recently with my young daughter, who has coeliac disease ( ie she cannot eat anything containing gluten, found in wheat barley oats and rye. From the Liverpool Coeliac Support facebook page we found out that Calisa offers gluten free food and cakes, so I felt comfortable taking my daughter there.I explained to the waitress about her allergy and she reeled off a short list of items she could have. I ordered a gluten free wrap for her. The wrap arrived with crisps on the plate and a salad with a dressing. The crisps however contained wheat (I asked them to check the ingredients on the crisp packet) and they were unsure what was in the dressing. The staff were really lovely and apologetic, however my daughter could have been really ill. I did send an email to the manager/owner (about two weeks ago) via there website however as of yet I havent received a reply.

If the food is anything like the service, don't go. Sadly after being seated then being ignored for 20 minutes, we never got to try it. We gave up and walked out and went to the much friendlier nearby Neighbourhood instead. Be careful Calisa, you're alienating your locals.

Lovely quaint cafe restuarant. Staff nice and friendly and the breakfast was well presented in lovely white dishes and lovely cup of coffee. There was a knit and natter going on as we went on Saturday morning and it was interesting listening to the ladies as i used to knit a lot many years ago and thought what a lovely idea for people to meet for a chatter.

I went to Calisa with a friend this morning and ordered two big breakfasts. Not cheap - £18.10 for the breakfasts and 2 lattes. The pleasant waitress asked if we would like poached or scrambled eggs. I said 'don't you do fried?', to which the waitress said that she would ask so I said if not we'll have poached. We were given 2 lattes and had finished them before the food finally arrived after a long wait, there were only three other customers. As the food was given to us the owner said in a very loud voice 'Why have you done fried eggs? We don't do fried eggs you should have just said no, it's not what we do!'. We were quite embarrassed as it was said in a very intimidating manner for all of the customers to hear. I said to the waitress that I hoped I hadn't got her into trouble and even she was red and embarrassed by the brash woman's outburst. We asked the waitress would she mind if we closed the door as there was a cold breeze all around our legs and the waitress obliged willingly. The owner then started bellowing that the door shouldn't have been closed because there was a smell in the café. We felt very uncomfortable and decided not to get another drink, just eat up quickly and get out. The owner should take a few lessons from her pleasant waitress, maybe a customer care course wouldn't go amiss if she wants to be there to celebrate the cafes 2nd anniversary. We certainly won't be going back, nor will the people that we know were going to try it - not a good way to do business.

Tried here looked nice from outside but the wait for food is awful no atmosphere service with a smile would be nice! not much variety basic menu I was will not be returning I'm sorry to say

I popped into Calisa last week with my mum whilst waiting for a dentist appointment, I have to say, the service was awful! The staff were rude and acted like they were above you and the pace they worked at was shockingly slow. Besides this, the menu is very small, and when I wanted a jacket potato, they did not have one, so I settled for a cheese on toast, which took 40 minutes (even though the shop was EMPTY!) I will not be returning and I will be telling people it is a complete waste of time going there.

Calisa is close to the M62 and well worth a visit on the way to other attractions. This friendly cafe has a good selection of home cooked food and an impressive selection of drinks - including bubble tea. We were spoilt for choice. Egg Benedict, tuna wrap and home made soup were all delicious. We loved the individual pots of tea with tea cosies. The selection of cakes made it hard to choose. The malteser cheesecake was a big hit but then again so was the chocolate brownie, the Victoria sponge and the home made egg custard. We will be back!

I am absolutely delighted to have discovered this lovely restaurant. Staff are very welcoming, friendly and efficient. The ambience is excellent and surroundings are beautifully decorated and maintained.The food is wonderful with an unusual and tasty range of pies and cakes - the cakes are indeed delicious. An excellent hideaway for a little confort and indulgence.

Visited Calisa today with my friend and my wee baby. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing and my goats cheese and roasted vegetable panini was delicious. The cakes were also really well made and despite being vegetarian, I had lots to choose from. I will return!
