“ I had a great experience at Kaldi House! Earlier in the day, it’s a popular spot for people working or studying, and in the evening, it gives off cozy first-date vibes. I really enjoyed the cortado—definitely recommend it. Just a heads-up: make sure to grab a table before ordering, as it can get busy and they ask which one you are at. I tried the Caesar salad, and for the price, it wasn’t my favorite, but the small plates looked much more promising. Overall, a solid spot with good energy! ”
“ Lilla and Eric are the best! I got a lovely espresso martini and the touch of hazelnut in there has me questioning my usual go-to recipe. The hibiscus French 75 was beautiful and just dry enough. I’d stopped in for a quick drink and snack while running errands with my friend, and saw they had my favorite, deviled eggs. I was skeptical about the short rib and shallot garnish, but the salt from the short rib with the touch of acid from the dressed mesclun/fennel side salad it’s plated with made for a lovely bite. Absolutely coming back for a longer experience, and I’ll probably get two orders next time just for myself ”
“ The coffee really is VERY good. They do eggs VERY well — probably the best poached egg I have ever had (see pics). Some people just know what they are doing. Sandwich was also good — the add on side salad was worth it. Potatoes were good too. Modern environs— cool vibe — congenial staff. Priced right. ”
“ I got off a plane and my bestie took me to Kaldi because she said I’d like the food and the vibe! She knows me well! I loved the menu offerings and the food and drinks were made to order and so fresh and delicious! A perfect welcome home breakfast. ”
“ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Had an amazing dinner at Kaldi Social House! The vibe is cozy yet modern, perfect for both coffee and cocktails. I tried the 8oz Blackened Salmon Filet with pomme purée, potatoes, broccolini, and lime compound butter — absolutely delicious. The Blood Orange Cosmo was refreshing, and their Espresso Martini with Baileys is a must-try. Huge thanks to Sean and Darnell for the wonderful hospitality. Highly recommend checking this spot out if you’re in the Arlington area! ”
