Stopped by for Basque baked eggs and chilli scramble eggs with a croissant. Coffee. All delicious. Attentive service. Lovely music playing, makes for a serene Sunday morning late breakfast. Will be back.

I had a wonderful experience at Calla and Cups! The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, with soft lighting and comfortable seating. The staff was friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. I ordered chicken Caesar salad and spicy omelette , and it was absolutely delicious — perfectly made with high-quality ingredients. The cafe offers a great selection of beverages and baked goods, and the overall vibe is perfect for relaxing or catching up with friends. I’ll definitely be coming back for more! Highly recommend it to anyone in the area!

Both linguine options were amazing. Fantastic coffee. I haven’t tried the peanut butter or black sesame latte yet but it looks interesting. Beautiful little cafe. I definitely recommend.

Warm and friendly staff, yum food, nice soft lighting, and good coffee. Second time coming here to sit down for food but I often get takeaway coffees and they are consistently really nice. I order flat white (with oat milk which some places don't do well but these guys nail it every time). I had the mushroom toastie that has truffle, cheese and spinach in it, and a bowl of chips. I'd recommend and order both again for sure! They also sell super cute terrariums.

When you wanna sell coffee, the most important thing before anything is a coffee beam and the taste. This shop passed this test excellently. In addition, people with big smiles on their faces and good hospitality are more than enough to have a good experience.

Such a cute café! The space is beautifully styled, the food was great, and the service was just as lovely. The staff were polite and attentive, our server mentioned we’d picked two of their most popular dishes, and they didn’t disappoint! We had the chilli garlic prawn linguine and the mushroom on toast????, both were absolutely delicious. After lunch, we took a stroll through the Canterbury Garden right across the road, such a perfect way to end the meal. Highly recommend for a relaxed and tasty café outing!

The place has a very classy but modern look with lively music and great presentation. The coffee and the cups they come in are elegant and displayed beautifully. The food is fresh, classic and delicious. They also have specials that will actually blow your socks off, with new flavors and tender textures. A must for a breaky or brunch in the Canterbury area.

I found this place as I was looking for a quick cafine fix before my first client of the day, tuning their piano. Walking into a warm ambience, soft music in the background. A nice escape from the morning rush, just outside the door. Greeted with warm smiles from the staff followed with a great coffee and a breakfast bagel. Highly recommend
