Every time I come in here I’m reminded why I shouldn’t support this place. This happens to me every time and it’s always the same curly haired guy. It might be the service industry inside me but I feel it’s common courtesy to greet and acknowledge your customer when they walk in or if you are busy. Not have them standing there for 3-5 minutes without acknowledging them. mind you it’s not even busy and I’m the only one in line. I was already walking out when the owner called me back. Not coming here again.

Great little local coffee place with delicious baked goods and sandwiches. My personal favorite is the Mexican Mocha, but everything is fantastic. The vibe is relaxed and comfortable with works by local artists for sale on the wall. Enjoy!

I started going to Kaldi in 1994. It's still the best little coffee shop in South Pasadena. I'm so glad it's still around. So many memories there. I love their coffee but this summer the Blended frozen vanilla latte was my go to.

Dietary restrictions: you can have Oat milk if you like instead of regular or nonfat milk. Almond etc.

Parking: Kaldi is by the South Pasadena Library. So parking is available on and around the adjacent streets

Kid-friendliness: They got PB&J for the kiddos and adults. I still eat'em

Wheelchair accessibility: Kaldi is at ground level. No stairs to get in. Maybe someone to hold the door. ?

Cute coffee shop, love the seating outside with the big trees for shade. Good coffee, friendly staff, and the best part: no charge for milk alternatives!

I enjoyed sitting in the corner of Mission and Diamond, chatting with a friend. I had some Vietnamese coffee, but it was too sweet for me so I asked them to add some water.

Nice neighborhood. Dog owners welcome!Came here on a Saturday where the street vendors and highschool band are present. Mediocre food and coffee-- not much of fresh coffee smell. & They got the order wrong,but with the pre-tip rules, there's really not much to do.I don't know if there's a restroom for guests, but a wheelchair may need to stay outside, because the double door is not automatic and only one side is open. There's seats outside.

Parking: Free street parking with 2 hours limit. One way streets around the cafe and the nearby block; GPA is strongly recommended.
