My only suggestion is that they should offer condiment packets outside of the package so we can pick based off of personal preferences.“

“I eat here often bbq tips are fire, chili 🔥and the potato salad is off the chain. Go find out for yourself. You get your money worth“

“Incredible experience tonight for my birthday. We arrived late due to a timing mix-up, but the staff went above and beyond to accommodate us without hesitation.
The manager demonstrated exceptional leadership; despite being short-staffed, she managed the front, took orders, and stepped into the kitchen to help cook—all while remaining attentive, sweet, and professional. The food was phenomenal, but the world-class hospitality is what truly set the evening apart. This is a business that clearly values its customers and takes pride in its work. I cannot recommend them enough!“

“Amazing food, atmosphere, service, great quality and quantity for what you pay for and the dessert section is huge! My new favorite place“

“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.“

“Had a wonderful experience! Delicious coffee and nice staff!“

“Zoe and drake we super kind and helpful. Made me a Iced Vanilla Latte and Blueberry muffin. 10/10 would recommend any day of the week.“

“We order delivery from this place quite frequently at work, and it is TOO GOOD! They have soups, salads, sandwhiches, and desserts. It's perfect for a quick bite to eat for lunch, or for a full meal. The portions are generous regardless of if you get half or full orders. The whole salads are huge, and even the half salads are pretty big. You can do a lot of customization as well. Food is always fresh and very tasty. Love this place!“

“First time going and loved the vibe/decore!!! Met the owner and so enjoyed her and the hospitality!!! Definitely will be going back!! The food/drinks/music was so enjoyable!!!“

“Always wonderfully tasty food!“

“They Have BEST cakes, sweets. Love it. Boss is the best she trying the best of the time. Love her.“

“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. It definitely gets crowded after 10 am on the weekends. Go early to get a spot. I enjoyed the breakfast plate, with sweet potatoes. They also have delicious smoothies. If you are looking for a Starbucks alternative and want more food options, this is your place.“

“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.“
