Kaldi's Coffee on Skinker

This place is packed during school season, and consequently the wifi is very slow. Drinks are good, food seems decent, though portions are on the smaller side. The kitchen has pretty bad ventilation. After cooking a few sandwiches, the kitchen makes the cafe very smoky.

This place has a lot of sitting area, with long hardwood window tables and plenty of outlets for your computer.

Parking is tricky, and most like you need to pay for meter.

There is only a small, terrible parking lot in back and a couple of parallel parking spaces that are always full, so if you want to go to Kayak's you should walk or bike. A majority of the customers are college students and it feels like a hip place to be in general, but it also means that it's a social hub for students. This is fine, but it does get loud. Their kitchen closes at 8 in the summer. A few of their drinks are a little bitter when they are advertised as "sweetened".

Lots of space to study with a coffee by the fireplace. The food menu is simple and enough for something like lunch/dinner. Very clean space too. The atmosphere is not too loud. The perfect coffee spot by two universities and the zoo.

I had a really good experience here as a first timer. The staff I encountered were friendly and knowledgeable. Not coffee snobs in my opinion. Great place to work from your laptop or get together with a couple friends for a bite.

Great coffee (no surprise there) and friendly staff. This is one of my favorite Kaldi's locations in terms of seating and decor. The only downside is a lack of parking.
FYI: If you need to use the restroom, ask the barista for the day's code.

I love to stop here to get work done. The servers are polite and respectful. Service is quick when I order food which is brought to the table. No one rushes you to leave. My coffee/latte/espresso is always on point. Plus there is Wi-Fi. Parking lot is in the back; I rarely have trouble finding a spot.

Nice little coffee shop near Forest Park! Small convenient parking lot out back. Interesting coffee brews, tasty small eats, and friendly staff. Seating can be a challenge during peak hours. Would def. go again =)

Excellent coffee. Tasty treats. Friendly staff. Bright open decor. Great place to hang out, read, people watch, just enjoy St Louis city life.

I have many memorable moments meeting for business with discussions and seeing wonderful compeers during our time there. It made being near Wash U and Forest Park a total delight.
Wonderful atmosphere and coffee by the way!

Quick & easy breakfast spot. Good coffee ☕.
