Really nice independent cafe. Lovely atmosphere inside and seating out the front. The sweet cinnamon treat bagel was very tasty and my flat white was crafted really well (I'm pretty fussy when it comes to coffee). If you are looking for great coffee and food this place is definitely worth a visit.

Coffee was really good and although not usually into bagels they were amazing. I think we had something like brie, onion and chutney. The atmosphere was nice and customer service from the staff was excellent. If I lived in Torquay I'd be a regular. Only negative is that there were no prices displayed on the cakes which is a pet hate of mine.

Stunning Artisan cafe with excellent baristas, delicious coffee and a wide range of loose tea! Food is delicious and served with a fancy side salad that’s seasoned to perfection. Staff are friendly and smile😊 Definitely worth a visit even if just for coffee.

All of the food at calypso is amazing, they have a great selection for both food and drink. The only feedback I would give is that the ham, cheese and tomato chutney bagel needs a bit more chutney.

Had a coffee and pastry here. I really liked the atmosphere, there was a large variety of drinks & snacks available and the coffee is lovely. This place had a really nice atmosphere. What really impressed me was the bathroom facilities….which may seem strange! But it was stocked with ladies hygiene/sanitary products and even had nappies which I’ve never seen before.

A grand statement, my suggestion go and find out! Located about half way up the main shopping street, you will come across this delightful trendy, laid back space. The killer flatwhite packed taste and caffeine, three shots instead of the obligatory two shots that a flatwhite should have. Chai Latte to die for, plus a great soundtrack in the background...so good we had to enquire

We've started popping in here as a half way point to our Saturday walk. We have lattes made with oat milk and usually a couple of their cakes or filled bagels as a treat. The coffees are delicious (I think they use Oatly oat milk which we buy at home because it's our favourite) and the service is good. I'm really pleased we've found this little coffee shop and we'll go in whenever we're passing to try to do our small bit to help ensure our favourite businesses survive this economic mess we're in.

With non-dairy milk (soya, oat), individually and environmentally healthier than cow's milk (this last one ideal if you're a calf), coming in at 50p extra, it's a "No, thanks" from me. An oat cortado (a small drink) set me back £3, considerably dearer than Caffe Nero, Costa, and most other places! When you claim, even nowadays, that even soya costs you anything like that differential, I can only say "then shop around"!! Read up too: It's a habit to be encouraged, not penalised.

Calypso is hands down the best coffee I have ever in this part of England. As an Aussie I have very high expectations for coffee and often go without when travelling because I'm afraid it will taste bad, but not in Calypso. I can surely say this is the only coffee I've had that "tastes like home". It's not cheap but worth it if you are after decent cup of joe. Highly recommended!

It’s been about two years since I last visited Torquay, but I hadn’t forgotten Calypso. I was delighted to discover when I visited again near the end of Oct 2018 that they are still awesome. The food is brilliant and the coffee is fantastic. The barista who served us was great - he spotted off the bat that my dad thought coffee started and ended with granules, and politely advised my dad that the coffee was very sweet, and he might want to try it first before adding the sugar. He could have said nothing, or he could have been patronising, but instead he was just friendly. Funnily enough I saw him deal with a couple of other older customers and he was just as brilliant with them. I don’t know the guy’s name (if managers read this, he was in a black teeshirt that had a drawing of a cartoon like head on the back) but he was an absolute credit.

We visited Calypso around 10am on a Thursday morning as I think it's always good to use independent stores. We thought we'd have a coffee and croissant but on seeing the selection of bagels, we opted for more of a brunch breakfast. The coffee was absolutely delicious and as it was a sunny day, we elected to sit outside. Our waiter brought our bagels to us and within seconds, a seagull had literally plummeted out of the sky and stolen half of mine! On hearing my screech, the waiter rushed back immediately and despite it not being his fault, very kindly took my food away and made me a fresh one. We then moved inside to stop it happening again. I can't praise this place highly enough both for their service (exceptional) and the quality of their food. The bagels were outstanding. Couldn't recommend this establishment more highly. Do give it a go.

We called here for a early afternoon coffee and cake. The place was very busy but we managed to find spare table outside. We ordered our drinks at the bar and sat down. Ten minutes later we still haven't received our coffee so I went up to ask why. It turned out our order was missed in the middle of rush time. The barista I was dealt with was very sorry and apologised many times and our drinks eventually arrived 3 minutes after. We then received a full refund and complimentary free coffee vouchers for both of us. We were very surprised as we didn't expect it. It was a great example of outstanding customer care skills which is rarecto see these days. Needless to say coffee was fabolous and we will back soon for more. Thank you.

Really enjoyed every single visit to this coffee shop. The coffee was outstanding, sweet chilli chicken bagel so delicious and cocktails were top class. The staff here is the friendliest in all the places I visited during my holiday in Torbay. The cohas such a nice home like ambience that you don't want to leave.

Finally I have found somewhere in the U.K. where they make flat whites like the Aussies do - strong, smooth and most importantly not too milky. Delicious food too and at very reasonable prices. An awesome coffee shop not to be missed if you’re visiting Torquay - I’d give it more than 5 stars if I could!

Brilliant coffee shop. Staff are friendly, seating is relaxed, the toilet was clean and there is a good selection of hot and cold drinks, cakes and light bites.

Visited three times on holiday for cappuccinos and delicious gluten free carrot cake, sour cherry cake and chocolate brownie. The coffee is the best I have tasted in years so rich and flavoursome. Would highly recommend this coffee shop.

We loved this pub, staying just down the road so perfect for a quick drink but ended up in there most nights, joining in with pizza night on the Thursday and live music. Amazingly they even sold gluten free beer for me.

We nearly missed you. What ravishing reviews! As is often the case had been meaning to visit this fab little café but it's taken a message on Facebook to learn you're moving on. Excellent toasties today, generous fillings and delicious. Great coffee. Clearly supported by locals and regulars. Doggy friendly and thankfully no plastic plants! That alone is worth a star. Lovely team. Best wishes for the future. 🇬🇧🇳🇿

Wanted something to take back, we looked at the sandwiches already made up but it was not problem as they made up our sandwich choice, and the cakes looked yummy.

Excellent value for money, lovely friendly service from volunteers. Can recommend the cheese scone with butter and the beautiful locally sourced cakes. Dogs welcome with customers. Highly recommended.

What a wonderful place. My dog and I were made to feel extremely welcome by Kerry and Freddi. Great coffee, fabulous homemade scones and cakes. Breakfasts are generous and reasonably priced. You can see why the lovely locals flock to this cafe. There is a real sense of community here. Don't miss it if you're in Paignton! 🌻
