CALI - Brandon in Riverview

Alex made our experience excellent! Amazing service! Thanks, Alex, we will be back because of your warm and friendly service.

I always enjoy coming to CALI. Their food and service are great! Whether you want a bowl, pizza, or greens, there is something for everyone!

This is one of my favorite places to eat because the food is always amazing. Kandi was the best waitress/server i ve had in all my years of living. Everyone was so friendly including Matt. Definitely will be coming back!

Food is good but they mess my takeout order up 50% of the time... too many kids working here

Brazilian bowl is delicious ! Fresh food and quick delivery from DD

Enjoy the food here. I have dined in and taken out, food has been good and tasted fresh. Continue to love this place. This has became a regular place to visit.

I loveee Cali! I always get the same thing (the spicy Brazilian bowl) because it is so dang good! The food is definitely worth the price. The lime ceasar sauce is soooo good I even take extra for my meals at home. 10/10!

Lovely spot. Highly recommend the chicken wrap!

Have been going to this place for years now. I have never not once have been disappointed. Food, service, and atmosphere always great. Good Quality food, and service.

I have been to other locations that were a lot better than this one, but not good at all !!

Food is good but the last three times Ive ordered takeout Ive been missing extra toppings on my bowl, not cheap extras either. I usually write it off but these bowls are +20$ each after I build them and tip, if I wanted a lackluster bowl, Id go to Moes.

Ventured in October 15th, somewhat frustrated and the Manager Robert and the very hospitable and kind greeter Lady, (please excuse me for not remembering your name), blessed me with some great tasting plant based tacos with chips, salsa and guacamole. Leaving a lot out, Thank You so much Robert and his kind greeter for making my day and week... The food, service and atmosphere were outstanding!!

A different experience but really yummy food and friendly service Definitely will recommend Recommended dishes

Hands down best pizza.Ive had in a long for Jonathan to hook you up.And candy is doing an awesome job serving as well

Best place Ive been to. Im not from Florida. Came here with my fiance from Pennsylvania to visit family. We had the Cali wrap with the chicken and the lavender ginger fresca when I say clean ingredients delicious food great hospitality great atmosphere I wish I can pick up the building and bring it back to Pennsylvania. Much love from the north. Love always Brandon and Brittany

The hot honey pizza is awesome. Love the bowls Food

Fast and efficient

Service was fast and friendly. We were served by ALEX, she was very kind and professional. The atmosphere was calm and peaceful. The music was not too loud.The food is amazing here and the chocolate chip cookies are wonderful. Probably my favorite restaurant in brandon.

Kay, our server, was fabulous and she was so kind! It s a cute restaurant with a nice & welcoming energy, plus the food was lovely!

This was the absolute best experience! My sister suggested that we eat lunch there, and I was hesitant because I wasn t necessarily in the mood for healthy food! Well, starting with Brianna s EXCELLENT service and ending with the best food I ve eaten in a long time, I rate the entire experience ten stars! I will definitely be back! Thank you Brianna! You are a gem!

The food and service were amazing! Everything tasted so fresh and delicious!!! We are definitely going to become regulars. Cortney was such a great sever. Thank you! Food

Super as a Latina with a different palate I loved it

Everything was delicious and freshmade..The server Briana was super nice, friendly, attentive, very helpful answering all of our questions from the menu. The chef came over to check on how came out. Excellent environment and service.

Came through here on 09/15/2024 on my way to Anna Maria island with my girlfriend. I ve been to the other Cali locations before, which have all been great but this location was (somehow) even better. The atmosphere is great with live music (slightly louder than we would like but honestly it s a great touch to the overall vibe of the restaurant.) The food came out in less than 10 minutes from ordering, with our appetizer coming out in less than 5 minutes. The waiter came by multiple times making sure the food was great and if anything else could be done. Our drinks were refilled consistently and often. I even asked for a special request (which I wasn t expecting much of a response for) and the manager came and spoke to me directly and even accommodated the special request. This establishment is 10/10. Thank you Jonathan and the rest of the team, you guys are awesomesauce!

Whether youre craving a flavorful bowl or the hot honey pizza its all delicious and you cant go wrong. Love their smores cookie too.

Went for the first time 9/21. Everything was fresh and delicious. Our server Cortney was absolutely perfect. Patient, attentive, knowledgeable, and kind. We will definitely be back.

Food tasted like cat food, upcharge without it being expressed: sweet tea was fire tho

The bowls here are really good. We go here almost once a week.

This is an amazing restaurant and the waiter Austin recommended the Brazilian bowl which we enjoyed immensely. The manager gave us a great welcome, and the atmosphere was terrific. Highly recommend this restaurant.

First time there and everyone treated us like family! They were so nice and accommodating it was the best experience Ive had in a while; just didnt feel like a job for them, but there was actual passion and love for what they do. You could see it in the smiles and taste it in the food. Try this local place and you will NOT be disappointed!

I loved this place and I especially loved our waiter. She was so funny and kind and attentive! She said her name was Kris with a K!

First of all.. the food is outstanding. I couldn t not be more happy with the quality. Secondly Kris is an outstanding employee! She was extremely attentive and lit up the room with her smile. I m coming back for the food and for Kris!

I love this place. Food is so good.

Brianna was delightful from start to finish. The food is amazing as always, highly recommend the Spicy Brazilian. I try to make it here anytime I m in the area.

Briana was our server. Great job on the service and the food is exceptional! I would come here again and again Food

My wife can t tolerate pepper and they made a special dish for her and gave it to us for free. The chef came to talk to us and showed interest in pleasing our needs.

My favorite Colombian food in brandon/riverview area! The Picada for 2 and the bandeja paisa

A wonderful group of professionals

Went for lunch. Not bad but the prices for it are a bit much!

Wife and I come here for brunch frequently. I would recommend the Lil Hungry, Power Avo Sandwich, and the Spicy Rio Burrito. The servers are always very kind.

We were seated at 2:45 on 22 June and was given the Brunch Menu which terminates at 3:00. When the new waitress finally came to take my order i attempted to order from the Brunch Menu and I was informed that the clock had literally just changed to 3:00, as we were placing our order, and I could no longer order from that menu. When I request that she ask management she returned and said I could not order from that menu. Very poor customer service!

Our go to for takeout dinners and Sunday brunch. Always delicious food.

First time. Very satisfied with service and food. I highly recommended. Healthy options. Ten plus.

We ordered this through Uber and when I opened the bag, I laughed at how small the portion was. I can t believe how much they charge and my bowl wasn t even 1/2 way filled with all the toppings on it. My sister had ordered extra base (extra money), which filled her bowl all the way to the top. Shocked that you have to pay extra to have a full portion. Rip off. Just go to moe s or chipotle.

Nice restaurant. The food is really good. I love the ingredients they use in their recipes.

I had the grilled chicken wrap it was spectacular!

The delicious food, the cozy atmosphere and the customer service, I can say one of the best I have experienced here in Tampa.

We love this place, the food is super delicious and the attention. They are pet friendly

Hot honey pizza is my favorite. Simple blend of cheese, pepperoni, and basil drizzled with hot honey. Great staff and atmosphere. There are plenty of delicious, healthy options to choose from.

I found my new favorite place!! Went Sunday morning, had brunch and sat at the counter. All the staff was friendly, the meal was super tasty. The gentleman playing the guitar is talented! But most importantly to me, I could see into the kitchen and it was spotless. Will definitely go back. Thanks for a fun, yummy experience!!

I really used to love this place, I ate the Lean n Clean bowl probably three times a week years ago before they changed everything. I ordered takeout for lunch and sadly the price of a bowl just does not match the quality and portion size. For $20 a bowl, there should be more than four pieces of broccoli. The char chicken were the tiniest little pieces of a this fatty slimy chicken. I really miss how good it used to be, but its really not worth the price for what theyre serving now.

This place is a great find. My husband was looking for a new restaurant that we both would like to eat at, and he absolutely hit the mark. The bowls are delicious. I had the Thai bowl with lentil bites, and it did not disappoint. Since finding this gem, we have come here just about weekly. The prices are reasonable and the staff is friendly. Vegetarian options: You can basically make most bowls vegetarian or vegan. They have a large variety of plant-based options.

Staff and owners are amazing!!!

Always a go to for great food!

What a cute little spot! Great guac and chips. Their hot honey pizza and Italian bowl were phenomenal.

Great place, with great service and very good food. We come her for lunch all the time

Omg!! Delicious I recommend the Amalfi pizza, Lean and Clean, and so Buff.so many options. Sheldon gave us amazing service. It is worth a visit.

Love Cali! The food is amazing! Service is incredible. Big shout out to Christina who is an amazing server. She is a great representation of all the staff at this location. My favorite dish is the Brazilian bowl with rice , steak and crispy onions.

I go here often and typically pick up delivery that I call in. I always get a bowl that comes with blue cheese which I cannot have so I ask them to substitute for queso fresco which is never an issue when I call in or order there. Today I ordered via Uber eats and called the second I put the order in to ask if they can sub the BC for queso freco and I was told she d ask and she came back and said due to them being busy they cannot. This is extremely humorous to me as it is very easily doable. With the time it took the girl to put me on hold and walk to the back to ask the kitchen she could have just thrown the other cheese on the bowl. Update: the manager reached out same day and apologized and fixed the situation and assured me it wouldn t happen again. I really appreciated the great service from him.

It was our first time here and it was AMAZING! Our waitress Caroline was AMAZING! Literally so sweet and helped us out so much! Attentive to details and super kind. This is our new favorite place. Definitely coming back! Thank you guys God bless!

Delicious food and great service! Excellent vegetarian options

Great food and friendly staff

I always get a wrap and their hummus on the side !! Maxmosa is so delicious!!

Chicken bowl was really good. Much better than any Chipotle restaurant around here. Order was made very fast as well.

Friendly staff, great food, and very clean

Calli staff made an extra effort when an error in our order occurred. The manager swiftly agreed to deliver the corrections to our location and brought us cookies to make it right! Thank you, Calli!

Love the food and the people!

My favorite place to eat in Tampa, Im patiently waiting for an Orlando expansion location. The Spicy Brazilian bowl cant be beat, and the hot honey pizza is also top notch!

All the food is very delicious

Great tasting clean food.

CALI is amazing. The food is delicious and healthy. We order from here at least once a week. The Big Italy, Lean N Clean, So Buff, and Rio Burrito are all great. I love the lentil bites and charred chicken as a protein here. And the cookies are incredible as well. This is easily the best restaurant in the area for a delicious meal.

Sarah was the sweetest, she provided excellent customer service. We loved what we ordered.

Great team, good food. Highly recommend

Food still tastes very good, but the portion size has gone very small, the 2 bowls we got were half empty

Brianna was a great server. We enjoyed the food and music. We will keep this in mind for brunch in the future!

Brianna took care of us with much pleasure She kept filling our empty drinks cups, kepted checking on us if we needed anything and service was with a SMILE It s hard to find good help Nowadays so please keep her Vegetarian options: Of course Dietary restrictions: Of course Parking: Of course We NEED A CALI in POLK COUNTY !!!!!! Was recommended to try Fresh Kitchen in Lakeland Looking forward to that visit too Kid-friendliness: Of course Wheelchair accessibility: Of course

First time visiting- Briana was our server and she was a delight. She was engaging and had great recommendations for food and beverages. Everything we ordered had amazing taste profiles. Definitely will be back!!

Bryana was great

Service: Brianna was amazing! She was so friendly and thorough in her recommendations! Attentive to our needs - we never had to flag her down for anything. Food: Thai Bowl. Wonderful presentation; flavors were delightful; portion size was perfect. I highly recommend this dish. I was able to have a taste of some of the dishes from my brunch companions and would recommend them all because they were equally delicious!

Great service. Our server Brianna was very friendly and attentive to our needs. Food is amazing.

Server Brianna was fantastic, constantly checked on us and was very efficient as well as polite !!

My family and I always love going to cali especially when Brianna is our waitress. She always ensures their is a positive atmosphere and ensures the food comes out perfectly.

Brianna was the best sever i ve met. she mad my dinning experience wonderful. Would 100% recommend going.

Spectacular service and delicious food! Brianna is an attentive and fantastic server and she truly makes the experience a 10/10! My family specifically looks forward to her service and the Cali wrap

brianna is such a good waitress she is always making sure everything is right and is very sweet.

Brianna is the best waitress I ve ever had, she s fast and very nice, definitely recommend her services

Delicious food, love the menu items, nice vibe, great staff! Thank you for wonderful service, Brianna!

I went in and ordered an Asian salad to go. I Sat upfront but from my view it was a great atmosphere. The staff was friendly and kind. The order did not take long and the food was delicious. And! I love the plants

Tre thank you for being the friendly face that greets us with a smile

Menu items were customized with a variety of available options. The ingredients were fresh and flavorful. I really enjoyed the avocado hummus with vegetables and chicken wrap. The hibiscus tea was bold & tasty. My server was exceptional and went out of her way to ensure I was familiar with the menu, the prices and had the best possible experience. She offered a few samples to help narrow those drink & menu items I would prefer to try. She was one of the best restaurant servers I ve had since moving to Tampa 8 years ago. I am so sorry I forgot her name. I will return for their weekend brunch & Taco Tuesday. Dietary restrictions: Excellent options for vegan, vegetarian & keto diets. Parking: Free parking spots are limited and shared with other local restaurants. Wheelchair accessibility: On street access, no steps and tables available to accommodate wheelchairs.

Omg! Had the best server ever! Her name is Brianna and she took such great care of us! She was so personable and was always smiling. I was beginning to think that great customer service was a thing of the past but Brianna was such a breath of fresh air!

One of my favorite spots in Tampa to eat clean and delicious food. So... buff is my favorite

Went from 5 to 1. Several of the employees know us as regulars as we go almost once a week. Tonight it was moderately busy with no wait. We were seated at one of the 4 tables in the center. We were there for nearly 15 minutes, and nobody even acknowledged we were there, so we let several employees know we were leaving. They had nothing to say.

Randomly driving by and seeing a popup market, we stopped at Cali, which was within the same plaza. We sat at the bar and service was friendly and quick. I got the avocado salad sandwich and despite the bread getting too soggy, it didnt stop me from finishing it. Also got a sangria that also included a mini bottle of wine to throw in. Not bad at all. We got lucky with parking but it was as tight as my pants when I finished eating. Didnt realize there was a location near our house, so will go to that one to try more items. It was brunch when we went, but the lunch bowls were enticing looking.

I love the food, its fresh and delicious and the service is very good.

Great place, A new favorite of the American Water & Windows Crew

Great food and service!!!

Spicy Brazilian is my favorite! They never fail!

Great local spot, try the spicy Brazilian!

The hostess Candy, was very professional and welcoming . The restaurant was busy and she was doing her best to accommodate everyone coming in. The food was good as always. Will be back.

Definitely check out taco Tuesday. Awesome place.

Great food, excellent service!

There are so many combinations to order, you can meet any dietary need or palete! Ive literally ordered every dish, and theyre all delicious, but my favorites are the spicy ones like the Hot & Crunchy, Spicy Brazilian, Soo...Buff, Spicy Rio Burrito, and the Thai bowl.

This is my favorite restaurant. The staff is just so friendly and phenomenal and the food is clean and delicious. I hesitate to even leave this review because the place is already crowded enough .

The Service and food was wonderful. I ve been coming in the last two taco Tuesdays and have had the same server Briana, very kind & nice with great food! Definitely recommend Food

First visit and impressed. California Club in a black bean wrap, Hot Honey Pizza, and Kids Popcorn Chicken. Many menu items are dairyfree, gluten-free, and can be served plant-based. Will definitely go back.

Food is great, staff is friendly, fast service, and clean environment. Vegetarian options: Tasty vegetarian selection Food : 5/5 |

The food was amazing. Dietary restrictions: They have a lot of gluten free options. Food : 5/5 |

Not a big fan of their current menu. I wish they would bring back the Sweet and Spicy Thai Noodles. I ve been waiting years for it to come back!

Great service! Kyle s and Briana. Vegetarian options: Spegetti squash! Food : 5/5 |

Kylie has been an amazing server/soul on today serving me on my first visit. Absolutely adored her :)) Vegetarian options: Lento bites mmmm good

Cali Brandon is an excellent place for brunch with indoor & outdoor seating. We tried the the rice bowls, Burrito along with Maximosa. Our server Bonnie was very attentive & has an excellent pleasant welcoming demeanor. Will definitely visit again. Vegetarian options: Excellent place for vegetarians

The food was absolutely delicious!! Friendly staff, nice atmosphere, and LOTS of gluten free options. I had the fried chicken on my bowl and it was so good! Perfectly crispy bite size pieces and totally gluten free. I ll absolutely be back again next time I m in town. Highly recommend!! Dietary restrictions: Lots of gluten free options available and marked on the menu!

It was Taco Tuesday... We ordered Tacos which were okay okay... Our server was great....attended to us very nicely... Its a nice place to grab a quick bite on a weekday Other than that nothing special or worth mentioning specifically Parking: Lots of parking available

Cali is the best! I get Thai steak or hot and crunchy tuna, and white sangria with nutmeg! They write dairy free on the menu, and they always ask about allergens!!

Great prices, friendly service

Nice change of pace, hot honey pizza was awesome. Great place for lunch.

Meals are configurable to taste and very tasty.

Amazing food and service but tends to get delivery orders wrong.

Order food, start eating chips & salsa. 10 min later ,they have no pizza. They did not comp appetizers. We left and went to another place. Disappointing and waitress should have known no pizza when she started shift.

Went 2 days in a row for my birthday. It was great

Dietary restrictions: I have several food allergies.. they cook for you specifically! Have never had any question, food is delicious! Food

Perfect !!

I usually love this place but they asked me to do take out instead of sitting although lot of people were still at the restaurant. it is wrongly advertised that they are open . they close at 3 pm on sundays . just call the. if you go there

Each time I go I try something new on the menu. So far each has been delicious and I look forward to trying my next item

Taco Tuesdays was delish!

Great food reasonable prices and good service

Love the new waiting area. Everyone was nice and helpful!

It was my mom and I s first time checking it out! We came on a Friday at 3pm and the staff was friendly attentive and very helpful! The food tastes amazingly fresh and the Asian Salad was phenomenal. Our server Courtney was the star! She gave us great recommendations and talked with us a bit. For the quality and portions of food it was very affordable. Would definitely recommend and we will be coming back very soon .

What an awesome place. Excellent food and plenty of it!!!! Salad overflow!! Purple potatoes were very tasty! Food

CALI is the absolute best restaurant period. The food is out of this world amazing. Every single item on the menu is excellent. This is my favorite!

If you have not been here you re missing out. Taco Tuesday is a must and I ve never had a bad time. Food is great every time and prices are reasonable. Five stars.

Good place to eat brunch. Food is great and ambiance is simple and cool.

Tried them on Doordash first, fell in love with the food. So, wanted to check out the place in person. I was there with friends and family. All of us loved the food, service and atmosphere. Kids enjoyed the food as well. Special shout out to their Spicy Brazilian Bowl!

Terrific little lunch spot I always go to when visiting my Brandon Team. Terrific food, great service and great value for money! Keep up the great work Team Cali.

The food and the people are always great! I have gone multiple times and the service is always excellent and the food always comes out quickly, warm, and delicious! Dietary restrictions: There are many gluten-free and vegan options available.

Weve been eating here for 3 yrs now and its never disappointed us. Healthy choices and great bowls. Friendly staff and small chill atmosphere. Sunday brunch outside with mimosas is a must.

Met up with some friends for lunch who had never been here. The food was delicious and came out extremely quick! Will definitely be back next time I m in the area!

Food is excellent service is fast and the staff is friendly

Went here by accident. After seeing the review for Canopy Road Cafe I decided to eat there. Unfortunately Canopy Road is not yet open. Next to it is Cali. I walked in thinking it was part of Canopy Road, since I did not see any sign on the front of the establishment. The hostess stand was just inside the door, though no one was there. Menus were on top of the stand which I examined waiting to be noticed. Interestingly the name (Cali) was nowhere to be found. Later I noticed it in tiny print at the bottom of one of the pages. Service was good. Im not going to review the food in detail, as nothing on the menu is what I would normally order. An interesting place, just not my cup of tea.

The servers are great. Food us delicious

The menu is full of fresh, healthy, and tasty dishes. We sat outside with our dog, in a comfortable and shaded location. The wait staff was very knowledgeable about the menu items, which we appreciated, as this was our first visit to the restaurant. Everything was great.

Always had a good meal here, the only thing this past time was they got two of our orders wrong when it was brought to the table

Great, healthy food and excellent service. Highly recommend

Our waitress took over 20 for her to take our order.

Portions getting smaller stoll very good

Flavorful food, interesting dishes and friendly service. First visit but I liked it.

I cant say enough about this place. This is the undisputable, A#1, 100% FIRE the choicest joint of joints for ALL FOOD HEALTHY, TASTY AND EYE APPEALING!!! If it doesnt look good, no matter the actuality of the flavor, our mind transfers translation to taste buds HORRIBLE, DO NOT PROCEED!, and thats usually also the norm for most health food experiences for most people. NOT HERE! This food isnt just cooked, its created like a fine dining high-end masterpiece of a desert, all the dishes here are as such!!! The sourdough, which BTW is made or rather I say created fresh daily in house. The sandwich my aunt had that was created from was just exquisite she remarked. I had the Brazilian bowl and this dish was as colorful and fragrant as it was succulent and the beef was extremely moist in the dish. We had chips and salsa w guacamole and ofcourse its in house, made to order!! The beverages were delicious as well. I had the sweet tea and my aunt had the cucumber and mint iced drink. Their entire menu is as creative as it is delicious and very health conscious to boot. Very; unique, hip, in touch, healthy, eye catching, mouth watering DELICIOUS!! So, they must be pretty pricey, yo right? WROONNNNGGGG!!! Oh, so that means small portions then!!! Aaaeeeennnnghhhh (my buzzer sound) and WRONG AGAIN!!!! The portions are pretty generous I gotta say but without over feeding you to the point of disgust!!!! They got a menu w a little something for everyone, no doubt! Go check them out!!! And when you get there, tell them Tyger Anthony sent you. Take care and God bless .

I love Cali, the food and service is always great! However today I can t say the same. I ordered a hot honey pizza for pick up, which might have been my first mistake since I usually eat in. The pizza was drenched in sauce to the point it was soggy and not only that it was burnt and inedible. Highly disappointed with this visit.

Dietary restrictions: They are great with gluten free and very celiac friendly! Food

This is one of our favorite go-to places to get food to take out. I always order the spicy Brazilian bowl with avocado rice. We call and then leave our house right away cause, most likely, once we get there, it is always ready for us to pick up.

We love their Taco Tuesday menu! Im also a vegan and appreciate their Planta Tacos (lentil bites).

Very good food! The menu changed, but still very good quality food, fresh, and healthy. I wish they still have kombucha on the menu.

Cali. Thank you for the amazing food and service. They accommodated the bowl base on my diet. My husband order the honey pizza and he loved it, the thin and crispy crust with the kick of honey, amazing.

We have a lot of food allergies and restrictions and Cali is able to meet everyone s requests. Genuinely the best take-out we ve had in forever. Love love love, will def be back

I want to get another dish but the Hot & Crunchy bowl I get is so friggin good I cant order something different. Great service, cool atmosphere. If you havent been here, gotta try it.
