In a small wooden building, out of an old film about the wild west, is a simple and cozy coffee house, suitable for breakfast before an active day. The staff of the coffee house and its owner, who often meets guests himself, pay great attention to the process of making coffee drinks. The list of dishes is not too extensive, but is perfect for breakfast or a snack.

At the end of the nineteenth century, Calico was a small but thriving town where miners worked. People came here to get rich quickly, and it was not in vain, only silver of local mines produced $ 86 million.
However, over time, the city became empty, and only the lonely buildings, which in the middle of the last century were turned into the original open-air museum by the skillful and enterprising residents of neighboring cities, began to remind of the old days. Today, on the territory of the ghost town of Calico, you can explore the history of nineteenth-century American towns, visit local workshops and buy some souvenirs, take a ride on an old train, and even, if you wish, look at a real mine.
