I recently had the pleasure of visiting this charming coffee cafe that left a lasting impression on me. From the moment I stepped through the door, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that immediately set the tone for a delightful experience. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air, promising a treat for both my taste buds and senses. As I perused the menu, I was amazed by the diversity of offerings, ranging from classic espresso drinks to innovative specialty blends. Each sip of coffee was a revelation, boasting rich and complex flavors that were expertly crafted by skilled baristas who clearly took pride in their work. Accompanying the stellar coffee selection was a menu of delicious food options, with everything from hearty breakfast sandwiches to decadent pastries that perfectly complemented my beverage of choice. However, what truly set this cafe apart was the impeccable service provided by the staff. Not only were they attentive and friendly, but they also went above and beyond to ensure that every guest felt welcomed and cared for. Whether offering recommendations or simply engaging in friendly conversation, their genuine warmth and hospitality made me feel like a valued patron. In sum, my experience at this coffee cafe was nothing short of exceptional. With its outstanding coffee and food offerings, impeccable service, and unmatched diversity, it's no wonder that this establishment has earned a place in my heart as a must-visit destination for coffee lovers everywhere.

Place is cozy. Great for peace and quiet and studying. I ordered for the sweet matcha latte which has the perfect blend of matcha flavor and sweetness. It has a nice view outside and the cafe also has an outdoor dining if you like fresh air and more of the city view.

This is a pretty chill place to grab some coffee and food after you’ve spent some time in forest park. There’s a lot of seating both at tables and along the windows. The high ceilings and timber framing are great for ambiance and help keep the place cool in the summer. It’s right off of the Wash U campus, so it’s a great spot if you’re a student.

I’ll definitely be back, and I might make this a regular stop if I’m out at the park for a run.

Creative lattes, friendly staff, great food. What more do you want? Oh and great coffee! Better than Starbucks for sure. Better menu too. Way more affordable. You can also get it delivered through Uber eats, which is convenient.

Excellent experience! Breakfast sandwiches were fresh and VERY tasty. Coffee was great. Loved the atmosphere and music they played, plus a wonderful view of the campus. You can tell they love what they do here, it shows.

Verdict - would go back & recommend to friends.

Great place to work on early weekend mornings! There’s so much seating, and the vibe is so cozy. I also love the location facing a picturesque view of WashU. I tried the rosemary brown sugar seasonal latte, which was yummy!

We had a couple who went on their first date here and they were getting married in Forest Park. They wanted to celebrate at Kaldi's before the wedding and asked if we could document their time there with family. We told them they would need to get permission first and the employees and manager on duty were incredibly gracious and friendly about it!

We have been here before just to chill out and the atmosphere is really warm and cozy. They even have another side around back with more seating that is super cool! We highly recommend you stop by here!

Great breakfast!
Had the breakfast bagel with sausage and it was delicious. Americano was good, and the Nitro Cold brew was a great start to the summer day. The staff here are friendly, and the atmosphere is welcoming and open.

Great coffee, great food.
Only downside is chairs are uncomfortable if you have back problems, and most of the tables are a bit too small for 2 people to work on laptops at same time.

The service was friendly. The wait was a bit longer than expected given the time and number of patrons ordering.

The Mayan Mocha was very good.

This location has limited parking but metered parking is available. The atmosphere is quaint and inviting. We'll definitely return.

This is my favorite Kaldi's for the environment alone - though the De Mun location is a close second.
Staff is always friendly. Coffee is good. I like their pastries.
The space is large with plenty of seating - across the street from Wash U and Forest Park.

Had some free time and decided to come here with a friend. I always tend to get the nitro cold brew whenever I go to coffee shops and this visit was no exception. I thought the size of it was pretty small. I also got the breakfast bowl. I had bacon, guacamole, quinoa and it was really good mixed together. The staff there were very helpful and polite and I enjoyed both my visit and the food. If you sit by the window you actually get a pretty good view of the park across the street. Wish this place stayed open later, I would have definitely come here to get some work done.

The egg and cheddar biscuit was delicious- my significant other loved the burrito. Tons of vegetarian options and yummy hot tea.

I and my husband likes this coffee shop, we regularly go here during weekends. Ambiance was good. Great place to sit and do your stuff like reading books, work on homework!! Staff is friendly here. Taste and quality of all coffee drinks are good. Recommend if you’re in St. Louis area.

One of the best coffee house I have ever been too. Great atmosphere, music, food cooked to order, and the customer service is where it should be.

Excellent!! Very few places make a good Americano. Kaldi’s did it right! The location is great. Easy parking. Interior decor is beautiful. I must return.

The masala chai and banana bread tasted great! The atmosphere is amazing. One of the best coffee shops I have ever been to!

Kaldi's is always good, lattes are strong and their food is good for a quick bite that will get you full. Love the busy location, as well.

Coffee is amazing. Parking is a bit of a challenge. You’ll have to park on the street most of the time.
