Kaldi's Coffee House - Saint Louis

This is not Starbucks, so don't treat it like one! Kaldi's is undeniably my favorite coffee shop, and I must admit we are a bit of coffee snobs. The staff here is fantastic; they are true baristas who craft delicious drinks using their own locally roasted beans. The Kirkwood location is beautifully decorated and features plenty of tables and couches, making it an ideal spot to relax or get some work done in a peaceful environment.

This charming and cozy coffee shop offers delicious treats. I really enjoyed the chocolate and banana nut bread. The cafe mocha was also delightful. The customer service was excellent, and I will definitely be back!

Their espresso machine was down, and I had specifically gone in for a latte. However, they crafted a special drink using regular coffee that closely resembled a latte, and it turned out amazing! I truly appreciated their effort! They really know their stuff when it comes to coffee!

Great coffee shop with excellent pastries and delicious coffee

I've been a devoted fan of Kaldis for years, but I've noticed that as they have expanded, the quality of their food and drinks has declined. In the past, they conducted regular quality checks on the flavor profiles of their espresso, and it was rare to receive an incorrect drink or experience poor service. Now, it seems that during nearly every visit, I find myself asking them to remake my drink while they debate with me about why it's correct. I'm starting to feel that my loyalty is waning, and I'm considering seeking out a new local establishment that prioritizes quality over profit. It's such a disappointing change. Additionally, I reached out to Kaldis several months ago to share my concerns, but I never received a response.
