Ten years ago, Cafe Calactus began on Mountain Road with their vegetarian menu, and it was their attention to healthy options and getting it right that helped them to grow and move to their new home on the corner of Church and St. George.

From spicy and hot to simple but not plain - the food is delicious. Lots of healthy choices on the drinks menu too.
