Loved this place back in the day when it was Kayak, still love it now under Kaldi ownership and rebrand. Great location alongside Forest Park and Wash U, signature finicky attention to perfection from Kaldi's Coffee and tasty baked goods if you don't mind rich and sweet.
The coffee is really good but the customer service could definitely use some work.
As a washu student this is my favorite place to treat myself after an exam. The breakfast bowl is excellent, the staff are friendly and the service is great, one time they forgot my drink and on top of remaking it, I was given 2 free drink tokens for use at any Kaldi’s which was very much appreciated. I miss the seasonal chorizo bowl… that should be brought back full time! Only negative is that prices are kind of high but the quality of the food and drinks are worth it.
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.
I paid $16 for this… the 8oz kids cup of nitro cold brew cost $5.50 and the peanut butter bites cost $8.99. Enough said.
Great coffee, and relaxing setting, always produces memorable conversations.
Their coffee is the best. I always have to stop in when in St. Louis and always bring some beans home.
So friendly and fast, prompt service. Thank you, your hard work is appreciated.
Coffee is good and loved it when I worked for WashU. The food and food is very pricey.
Look at this rose. Shaly outdid herself! This latte is a 10 over a 10 both flavor and presentation.
Really nice coffee shop on the northwest corner of the park and right next to Wash U. They have a diverse coffee menu as well as pastries and, most importantly, real food. They have two areas with tables to eat and hang out in which is very nice. Though they are usually very crowded. Their pastries were excellent and even better they have a variety of pour overs from which to choose. So you don’t have to get coffee that is been sitting in a thermos.
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.
Strongly recommend the Chipotle Mocha - deliciously chocolaty with a bit of spice. The breakfast sandwich is pretty good - I'd recommend that over the breakfast burrito.
This place is more expensive than Starbucks and none of the 3 beverages I've had are remotely worth it. The coffee itself is on the bitter side. The Frappuccino knockoffs barely taste like they have any coffee at all. Good luck finding a power outlet that works. Or a seat not taken by a wash u student who will never move. Go elsewhere.
Very nice cozy vibe, delicious food and smoothie.
Fantastic seasonal hot chocolate and wonderful baristas. The joint was jumping but I scored a table in the corner. Popular student study space.
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!
Quick & easy breakfast spot. Good coffee ☕.
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.
Love kaldis! It’s definitely over priced but they have killer food and drinks. I highly recommend the black bean burrito or the breakfast bowl!
