Cali Cafe, Riverview FL

Stopped here for the first time last weekend. Great food and overall experience. Will definitely be back, thank you!

Had a delightful experience at this charming cafe! The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive. They went the extra mile to showcase various pastries and suggest menu items. This gem is now our go-to spot, surpassing chain coffee places. Affordable prices, delectable in-house treats, and a warm atmosphere make it a must-visit. We're looking forward to many more visits!

Excellent food and service. The entrance is a dark door, you have no idea how big and pleasant it is inside.
My cousin forgot his bag full of money. We came back hours later and the waiter remembered us and had saved

Looking for an iced coffee and a pastry and stumbled upon this gem. It's located in a simply adorned strip mall but once inside the place was packed with happy smiling patrons and beautiful pastries and fresh bread. The owner came out to take a pic of our pup and he along with our server was friendly and attentive. We drove a bit out of our way home to get here and it was absolutely worth the trip. We had a lovely brunch and man those pastries taste even better than they look!

This place has the BEST coffee it's authentic and delicious.

Also, ordered a chicken empanada and a chocolate chip cookie and both were incredible!

The Cuban sandwhich is amazing as well. You literally can't go wrong with food here or coffee.

It's a great place to bring family who are visiting also! 10000000% recommend!

I give it two stars just because the food was good. My husband and I used to be regulars here. Honestly, we spent way too much money here weekly ($60-$90) but we loved the service and the food. It’s been a year since we last visited because we moved out of town. So when we moved back in town the first restaurant we came to was Cali Cafe.

I was less than pleased by the service provided. The lady taking our order seemed so irritated by my husband. I almost said something to her but I decided to keep my mouth shut. Then her coworker seemed the same like she was annoyed she had to serve us. Is it the language barrier or because I’m black? Because the Spanish lady that was before us in line she was not served with the same nasty attitude. Being that I am former military, I can brush off a person giving me attitude. I cannot brush off a woman disrespecting my husband right in front of me. That will be the last time I come to this place and I’ll be sure to refer to my colleagues not to come here. I don’t care how good your food is, if your customer service is trash then you’ll lose business.

Last thing I want to point out was that I didn’t see the owner that day. Makes me wonder if he was there would we have been treated the same.

Edit: since we are not able replay direct I want to reply by placing an edit. I believe the owner when he says he isn’t racist and treat people the same; but that doesn’t mean his employees hold the same value. He doesn’t know his employees like he think he does. Also, just because the owner is a minority holds no weight when it comes to racism. Im black, I’m a minority, it doesn’t mean I can’t be racist. I realize that the one time the owner wasn’t present was the one time we got an attitude from his employees. Even my husband said she had an attitude but he decided to ignore it. Last but not least, saying “I’m sorry you feel that way” isn’t a proper/sincere apology. There’s zero accountability in that weak apology. He’s taking his employees side. If I was an evil person, I would have my 1mil followers on social media to all leave a bad review here.

I jad a virtual meeting. The service was really nice and the coffee and breakfast sandwich was really great! I enjoyed my time and the internet was really fast and super effective. The place was nice and had really nice decor and was spacious.

Amazing COFFEE, FOOD and Columbian delicacies.
Traveling? Stop in. We are so happy we did! Support local.

Unbelievable breakfast and coffee. Staff and owner were welcoming. Owner made it a point to ask us how our meal was and went out of his way to give us a free tasting of an item on the menu. 10/10 on everything.

Their food was amazing! Our business partners and I tried something new for coffee and found an awesome place.

I love this spot! They have delicious Cubans, breakfast sandwiches, and empanadas! There's a gluten free Columbian bread (cheese pandebono) that you will fight over. And I the number of guava baked goods. The coffee (Columbian) is pretty amazing. It was hard to make choices here!

Very nice and relaxing atmosphere
Been coming here it seems like forever. Cali has been open since of 2020 of January.

Best coffee shop in Riverview. Coffee and pastries are made on site and very good. Owners Rick and Claudia are very friendly and will accomodate their customers all the time.
Prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend it!

Love Cali Cafe
Everything is fresh and so tasty! Love the Cubans. All the baked goods!

Excellent food here and excellent customer service!
Very nice atmosphere. Definitely a place to show off to guests visiting too

I'm a regular and I love that it feels like we're family. They know my name, know how I like my coffee, and are always pleasant. Their pastries are always delicious, and their Colombian bakery items are the best I've had in the Tampa area (and my opinion counts for 2 because this is my heritage!). I always tell people about this bakery and they never disappoint. Will be a lifetime customer God bless!

OMG I found my new favorite place food is some of the best I've ever had the Cuban sandwich is authentic and all the desserts are on point customer service is out of this world the guy that owns it treat you like family I can't ask for a better restaurant if you get a chance swing in today and try it out I'm giving this place a 100%

Amazing food, they never disappoint. Everything that we've ordered is amazing, especially the green salsa that they provide for the empanadas.
