One of my favourite cafes in Playa ! Staff are lovely and speak multiple languages (but also let you practise Spanish if that’s what you’re wanting to do!). Coffee is amazing and food made fresh. It’s made very easy to edit orders e.g. extra coffee shot, no onions etc. I’m always made to feel welcome at Kalyspo

One of our favorite little places to go as a family with two young kids. Good food, delicious juices and smoothies, lovely outdoor space, and the absolute kindest people that work there!

If you happen to be in the area this is a nice place to stop for lunch. The hamburger was well cooked and came with a small amount of fries. The chicken breast sandwich was also well cooked and tasty. We had green juice with orange, pineapple and spinach and it was fresh and delicious. Our waitress was friendlly and courteous.
