Food and coffee is always amazing, service is incredible. Not too many outlets, but lots of seating options that encourage socializing. I’ll always come back to Kaldi!

We just had our Sunday breakfast here, and we are delighted.Over the years, we've come to Kaldi's for occasional breakfast, which has always been satisfactory, including today's breakfast.At today's visit, we noticed that the menu had improved a lot with lots of choices. The breakfast Burrito was so good, not overpowering with sauce, but there was a pleasant subtle saltiness from the potatoes; the tortilla was slightly toasted and added warmth to the dish, and the salad on the side had enough but not too many dressings on it, which was nice. Chicken & Waffles were tasty; the chicken was freshly fried and crunch outside with a slight sauce drizzled on top with a hint of sweetness, and the corn waffles had a kick to them from diced jalapeños. The latte was strong, and the staff provided additional whole milk to reduce acidity. The seasonal Honey Pistachio Latte, with orange zest, was refreshing but felt like something other than a caffeinated drink. For dessert, we had a marble pound cake, which turned out to be a bit dry but still tasty and good quality.As always, we enjoyed the ambiance. The seating options were varied, and our choice was comfortable and cozy. The place was clean, tidy, inviting, and the large windows were perfect for people-watching. Overall, we were satisfied with the service.Parking: Metered parking in Arlington is free during late evenings, Sundays, and major holidays.

Went there with a friend recently and the food was great. It was very crowded on a Sat. afternoon and I had to wait a while to find a seat, but it wasn’t too long before something opened up. It was just a few of us but if it was a larger group it probably would have been harder. It’s a nice place though for a quick bite.

Servers are all super nice, coffee and food is great, and vibe is perfect for work/study/chill. Only thing that’d make it better is if they stayed open later, I’d never leave!

I received by far the WORST customer service from Marvin. I am still in disbelief on how I was treated in this coffee shop: Marvin was extremely Rude. I feel unwelcome and undervalued as a customer.

I’ve been a supporter of Kaldi’s since they first opened during Covid and Mustafa was the manager, but my last few visits have completely changed my mind. If you want to eat at Kaldi’s, they won’t allow you to order until you have a seat which requires the customer to basically stalk other patrons for their table. The employee who took our order was jerky and arrogant with no reason to be either, which added salt to the wound.Kaldi’s is cutting corners and putting all the responsibility on the customer. The first time this happened, I thought they were going through a sloppy transition. Now I know they are just sloppy, lazy, and don’t care about their customers.I gave one star because the food and coffee are still decent, but trust me it doesn’t make up for the hassle and the disrespectful way Kaldi’s treat their customers.
Coffee and food is decent for the price. Space is large enough, but lots of people go there to study/work, so it might be hard to find a place to sit.Wheelchair accessibility: Although it is ground level, the interior can be a bit cramped to maneuver if full.
