Kaladi's Coffee Bar

Nice little coffee bar.

Had a nice mango fruit smoothie. They were kind enough to make it with almond milk instead of 2% milk. I find that great with my dietary restrictions. Muffin was good.

Only wish they had maybe one more person on staff at a time. One staff member stepped out to clean bathrooms and a long line came in. A little more Staffan everything flows better.

Good food. Good drinks.
If you don't mind a small wait (up to 10 minutes) you'll be fine.

Needed some coffee and this was so close to our hotel. At the time they were not busy. Drinks were delicious and made quickly. Seating inside gave it a cozy feel also.

This was my first stop my first time in Galena. Great seasonal drink options and suuuuuper helpful baristas. They were lovely and attentive. In my opinion, the seating basically makes or breaks a coffee shop, and this place had lots of great, comfy seats to cozy up into.

First the positive. The coffee was very good. Staff is friendly and the business is clean, comfortable and welcoming. That said, this is the first time I’ve ever been charged a .60¢ surcharge for half and half in my coffee. I ordered a Medium Americano and asked for room which equaled an inch from the rim. I think I added about two tsp of half and half to my beverage along with sugar. Is this a new trend in coffee houses? I work for an airline and travel the world. Does this make me a coffee expert? No, but I’ve been to many places world wide and lived in NY city for many years. I’ve never run into this, not even in NY. My drink, including .60¢ half and half surcharge along with tax totaled $5.74. I looked at the tip jar and asked myself, if I tipped a $1 ( which I normally do) this drink would be .26¢ shy of $7.00. I love to support local business, especially local mom and pop shops such as this. Unfortunately, I can’t afford to frequent this place and that makes me sad.

Overall very disappointing customer service. When I walked in, the young man at the register didn't greet me or asked to take my order. In fact, he just stared at me and waited. I finally asked him if he was ready for my order to which you responded. Yes. So after more than a minute of awkward silence, I was able to order my latte. When I received it, I was again disappointed to realize that my large was maybe half full. There was more foam on top than there was liquid.

Additionally, it was exceptionally overpriced. Even for a small coffee shop. I paid $3 less at a different coffee shop downtown just yesterday for the same drink. In hindsight, I should have just walked out, but I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt. Anyone else go in there. In a place like Galina with large amounts of tourists and other visitors, there's too much competition to support a business that can't take care of its customers.

Kaladi's was a very impressive place, with a wonderful decor and great service. The coffee was delicious and well worth the stop. I highly recommended Kaladi's if you're ever in the Galena area!

Ordered a Cafe Mocha. Not very good. Usually we go to the Trolley Depot coffee shop but they were closed. Do not think I will be back again. I will go back to the Trolley Depot coffee. Unfortunately they are not open on Sunday.

Cute place but the most disgusting lattes I’ve ever had. Unbelievable they think this is good coffee, and then still charge six dollars or more for it. We will never return. Shocked they are still in business. Yeah, it was that bad.

I have visited several times by now, and unfortunately the disappointments keep coming. Most recently, when ordering a matcha latte we asked for no sugar to be added, only to find out that their matcha powder comes pre-mixed with sugar. One would think this is something that should probably be mentioned when a customer is asking for no sugar to be added to their drink...

Initially I only had minor gripes, mainly with the flavor of the coffee and the fact that the smallest size is a 12oz. But I did not feel that warranted any complaints. At this point I will altogether avoid this place.

super awesome service, friendly, delicious coffee, new different flavors, a nice place to sit relax, read, work, study and enjoy an amazing coffee ☕️
