Coffee Cali

One of the good things about my home town having such a poor centre is the fact that none of the big coffee chains will touch it with a 12foot brown sugar swizzle stick.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have a problem with the Starbucks, Neros and Costas of this world, I’ll happily drink in all of them (I miss the St annes Square Coffee Republic a lot) but I don’t like their prices making having a brew feel like a treat, rather than just whetting your whistle whilst out shopping/​mooching.
I think, although i’m not sure, that Coffee Cali is part of a chain, but it doesn’t really feel like one. It is just a relatively small cozy coffee shop that has the usual mixture of rock hard seats, and comfy seats (There is never a middle ground). Tables outside for when the weather isn’t nuclear winter, or for the nicotine minded (Me).
They have a nice selection of food which I can’t tell you about as I haven’t eaten there, but they have the usual suspects where the beverages are concerned, and the prices are of the «Ooo that’s not bad!» rather than the «How much? For a cup of coffee???». They do a really nice amaretto latte, and a lovely hot chocolate with whipped cream, marshmallows and a flake. You get change from a £2 coin for that particular drink too.
I like Coffee Cali, I just wish they’d change the C to a K. Come on, who wouldn’t want to have a brew in a shop named after the Hindu Goddess of death, time and change? Just me then? :)

Coffee Cali is a lovely, cute, modern little coffee shop situated on the main street of Rochdale Shopping centre. It goes generally unnoticed unless pointed out, and so is never insanely busy but always receives good custom. The staff working there are exceptionally friendly and helpful, and the food and drinks served are of the best quality, at very reasonable prices — For example £1.45 for a regular hot chocolate with cream, marshmellows, and a flake. It is set out with modern decoration, on a two level floor. There are options of comfy chairs, couches, and tall stools. I’d definately recommend to all :)
