Kaldi’s Coffee

Great coffee with simple food and adequate seating. The scene is hipster mixed with upper class residents of the area. Parking can be a little bit tricky since it is near residential areas. However, across the street is a nice park that you can enjoy your drink while taking in the atmosphere and scenery, provided good weather of course.

Great coffee in a great location. Right beside the Concordia seminary and close to the west side of forest park. Getting coffee and walking through the seminary grounds makes a good start to a date. There have been some really skilled baristas here over the years. The food is also quite good. Nice outdoor seating when the weather is good.

You really can’t beat Kaldi’s when you live in St Louis. It’s still a place you can come, read, drink coffee, talk to friends, meet people in the area, and just enjoy.

Also, their baked goods and food are delectable. Sometimes the coffee is a little acidic for my taste, but most would probably tell me it’s because I’m not refined enough.

Regardless, Kaldi’s is great.

This is my favorite coffee shop in St. Louis. They had a maple Rosemary latte that was divine. Their regular every day roast has a bold smoothness and natural sweetness to it. It's delicious and I would rather go here over Starbucks any day of the week.

Friendly staff, great location and atmosphere, fantastic drinks and food! Slightly slower service than Starbucks but well worth it.

Espresso lovers, get the sidecar. You will not regret it.

Very cozy, tiny coffee shop. Nice ambiance and great patio right across from the park. Elbow to elbow, but it offers a "get to know your neighbor" moment. But quite seriously, decor and good coffee aside, it's pretty crammed! Can be hard to get a table.

This is one of my favorite coffee spots in the country. As someone who has picked my own coffee beans in the Andes mountains of Colombia and usually buy my coffee straight from small farms in Colombia, Kaldi's has become my new favorite. I don't frequent the locations often as I don't currently live in St. Louis, but I only buy Kali's Cafe blend now on their website. One thing I can say about the locations is that the food is the best food I've had at a coffee place. They have great healthy and great tasting options for both breakfast and lunch.

It really killed me to rate this at 3 stars. I really love this shop for the location, ambiance, and neighborhood. At one time I would have ranked this as one of the top shops in the city but in the last year or so the quality of service, drinks, and food has really taken a hit. Last time I was in the baristas were inattentive, drinks were poorly made, and the food was cold. I was disappointed about my favorite spot to say the least. I think this shop could come back with a bit of training. I hope it does.

Great friendly service, perfect coffee and teas

Love this place for studying, catching up with friends, relaxing on a weekend etc. Great location. In a quiet neighborhood and across from a park. Their home made whipped cream is to die for. Vanilla latte is great (with home made syrup). Fresh baked goods, wonderful selection of teas.
