  • Calabria Coffee Bar

    Review by Scott Tavener
    I've been to Italy, to the south even, and this much is true: Italians dig their espressos and their gelato. It's not bullshit posturing; they take their beans and cream seriously (as should you). The unassuming Calabria Coffee Bar has the requisite (I want to prefix the next word with "faux," but that's not quite right) Italian statue décor. The menu is fittingly light and the air is unassuming, clean, and vaguely exotic. Calabria is a well-suited for morning-scowl paper reading, caffeine-stoned frenetic conversation, or pensive gelato lip licking. - S.T.

    Owner was very rude. They apparently have a policy which you can't leave the store grounds and must wait for your sandwich which is being grilled on the premises or they will not give it to you even though you had paid for it.

    The experience was so terrible I would never wish this on my worst enemy.

    Molto Italiano! Family run business, where you really get to know the people. Very friendly. Love the "plastic" David.

    This place was good, but no longer is. They have had a good run, but arrogance, high prices and a pre-occupation with who uses their washrooms has seriously degraded the experience.
