After walking around Thunder Bay we were looking forward to a quiet sit down before heading back home. We fell in love with Calico, not just for the perfect-sized menu but because of the environment.
As I always do, I got the chai. And what no one has ever done for me Stateside was add cinnamon on top. It was a great topper and got the chai's flavors to come out.
We were well impressed by the environment, too. It was laid back and diverse of seating options -- that sounds weird, but there were tables, booths and a couch area. It was like being in someone's nicely-appointed basement.
All around an excellent find. -

Cute place, good coffee, but the staff is rude regularly. Every time I go I feel like I'm bothering the barista in making a coffee.

this is a great little coffee place in downtown PA, right in the heart of the bay & algoma shopping district. the staff are super friendly and made our drinks right away. the coffee is wonderful, it's genuine, strong but not overpowering; it's "the good stuff". The lattes in particular are delicious, they have a generous amount of thick and creamy latte foam. I would highly recommend this place, the baristas know what they're doing and the environment is very comfy.

So just some background info on me, I'm a student in Thunder Bay however I've worked as a barista in Ottawa. I can confirm that yes the baristas here are not the most friendly but do a good enough job. Espresso quality and taste is not the best but I'd blame the roaster for that not how it's being pulled here. It has a weird molasses taste to it, but it is served hot! Barista knowledge of coffee drinks is okay but could use some improvements. This is northern Ontario mind you! Maybe I should open a coffee shop in thunder bay and show how it's done ....hmmmmm ;)

Does not even deserve one star. These people don't know coffee. They are unfriendly and have attitude. Lattes are bitter and over steamed. Don't BOTHER!!
