We will be back tonight for ice cream. 😊“

“I come to WashU often for work, and Kaldi’s at Mid Campus Center has become a staple stop for me. It’s super convenient for a quick coffee or smoothie in between meetings. Drinks are consistently good, staff is friendly, and service is pretty quick even when it’s busy. Definitely a reliable spot on campus.“

“The food is delicious!!! Best Cesar salad I have ever had! And the chocolate chip cookie was so good as a desert!“

“Small snack stand located next to the Conservation Carousel. They sell hot dogs, corn dogs, calzones, packaged ice cream treats, and other snacks and drinks. There is a small eating area nearby with some tables and chairs. Usually not a crowded spot, so it's a decent place to get a snack - or even lunch, if you want to avoide the Lakeside Cafe.“

“I don’t know if it’s because I’m pregnant or I’m just obsessed with it. Sometimes I eat it twice a day and I get exactly exactly same thing I would get half-and-half, the broccoli cheddar and the green goddess melt which I’m really upset about because they just got rid of it like two days ago.“

“Great food, clean fast and affordable. Love the service. I will be back“

“Looking for a place to eat and get a bit of work done in the Central West End? This is it. It has a modern mid-century vibe with a lot of tables.

If you are looking for a Starbucks alternative and want more food options, this is your place.“
