At Calders, coffee is more than a drink — it’s a ritual rooted in craft. Our baristas brew with the same precision and passion you’d find in an Italian café, offering a full lineup of classics: bold espresso, creamy cappuccino, silky latte, balanced americano, and the rich, double-shot macchiato. For those who like something lighter, we also serve flat whites, mochas, and steamed milk drinks made to perfection.
Pair your favorite brew with our organic Café Campesino beans, known for their ethical sourcing and deep flavor. Every cup is an invitation to slow down, savor the moment, and connect — one sip at a time.
At Calders, we honor the quiet ritual of tea — steeped slowly, served warmly, and shared often. Our menu features loose-leaf teas, ceremonial-grade matcha, and our beloved regionally crafted AppalaChai, blended right here in the Blue Ridge to capture the comfort and spice of the mountains.
From bold black teas to refreshing green blends and herbal infusions, each cup is chosen for purity, flavor, and calm. Whether you’re sipping a handcrafted chai latte or unwinding with a gentle chamomile, every pour carries the same spirit of connection and care that defines Calders.
