Blue Ridge Chai & Artisan Teas
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.
