I gotta give it up for Kaldi's. My first time visiting and while the prices are a little steep (especially for food - $23 for a chicken Caesar salad), I'd def come back. About that $23 salad: The portion is a little skeet (that's an STL term - look it up) but the chicken was honestly juicy and flavorful as hell. And, the salad was full of very fresh spinach, and maybe other greens, as well as a good dressing. They provided a healthy amount of shaved Parmesan, which is my favorite. I would definitely order this again if I knew I was going to be around for a while and really wanted a salad. The vibe inside is so cute. This particular location is huge and there are various types of seating available. They have Wi-Fi, which is helpful., and some of their furniture is super comfy. It is the perfect place to connect or reconnect with a friend. I have never been much of a coffee shop, girl, but I could definitely see myself coming here multiple times a week. Service was good. I didn't interact with them much because all I did was order from a little QR code at my table and they dropped it off, but when observing them interacting with other customers, they seemed nice For the size of this place and people coming in and out, it was surprisingly clean, too. I didn't check the bathrooms out, but parking outside was paid but easy. read more

Busy spot on the weekends but the outdoor tables are nice when the weather cooperates. You order using a QR code at the table and service is quick. They have a $9 breakfast sandwich brunch special that's a pretty good deal - I got the lox and cream on a croissant with a poached egg. They also have a variety of bowls, smoothies, and breakfast, lunch, and brunch fare on the menu. Their strawberry smoothie is pretty good! read more

The cappuccino wasn't anything special. Average price for a coffee shop in Arlington. The vibe is really homey though. The booths in the back are perfect for work. There's a big communal table at the front, but good luck finding a seat. I have tried to get a table here 4 times, and I FINALLY was able to get a seat last weekend. read more

Kaldi's Social House does have a special place in my heart. I'm giving this 4 stars, rounded up from a 3.5, mainly due to inconsistent service. Some visits we are brought water, and other times we are not. I went to brunch this weekend and ordered the pork Benedict. The food itself was well seasoned and prepared. Similar to the fries during their happy hour, quite good! However, the plastic utensils made the meal less enjoyable, especially for cutting the benny. The side salad had darker, slimy leafy greens that I had to pick out as I ate. I didn't say anything at the time since our server never really came back around. We also had to get our own water cups and sugar for coffee, which was confusing considering everything was ordered on our phones. It made me unsure where the tip I left was really going. The ambiance is nice but can get very busy. The coffee is good and consistent, similar to their cocktails. read more

So much potential here but totally miss the mark. Firstly, service is super unhelpful/snooty and you can tell they don't want to be there. Second, the music is always loud and inappropriate for the setting- a coffee shop should have relaxing music (jazz, classical, soft rock) but instead they BLAST Spanish music or rap every time we visit. Third, the food and drinks are bland and overpriced. What I WILL give them two stars for is the seating & just for existing in Clarendon. read more

A great place to co-work and have a cup of coffee and casual chats. Lovely open design with plenty of seating. The ordering works by scanning the Toast QR code on your tabletop. My go-to food here is the Turkish breakfast bowl (quinoa, poached egg, cheese, peppers, avocado) which is my favorite by far and a repeat order (9/10). They change up the toppings every so often it seems but poached egg and avocado is consistent. I usually just get the regular drip coffee, but got the Cortado instead (9/10) and it was so lovely! Great service staff, although there is limited interaction given ordering is only via your smartphone. That is a plus for any socially anxious people out there. Partner ordered the Kaldi Burger (6/10) and side of fries. However partner was not a fan of this as it didn't stand out particularly, and was on the dry side. The fries were pretty good, just nothing special (7/10). Would return for coffee and a quick work session, may skip food unless it is the Turkish breakfast bowl, or a maybe a pastry! read more

If you want to get social, Kaldi's is the house to do it! I stopped in during the week around 10:30 am and the place was absolutely packed! Tons of people working and chatting- we were able to get a seat for 3 people but it was definitely a struggle (gotta get here early). I like the couch/ comfy style seats, it definitely makes you want to stay a while. I got the Mumbai Tea Fog with a dash of brown sugar and it was delightful. Just ever so slightly spiced! I also got the spinach and feta bistro, I asked for it heated and unfortunately they forgot (it was a super busy day) but I imagine that would've made it amazing- otherwise it was just ok. My friend tried the lemon ricotta French toast and what it lacked in flavor, it made up for in volume. My other friend tried the breakfast burrito which was frankly just odd- it has a full slice of tomato when everything else was diced. Overall, would definitely recommend coming in and trying this place out as the vibes are good. Also as an FYI, they stop serving coffee/tea at 5pm and switch over to a bar/dinner type restaurant. read more

The space is nice enough, but it's grossly overpriced and the overall experience was terrible. When I go out, it'd be nice to actually interact with a real human being. But you seat yourself then have to scan a QR code to both see a menu and place your order. I lost track of how many times I had to click and scroll and scroll and scroll and click and scroll some more. You need Apple Pay or you have to manually enter all your credit card information. And at the end of it all, they ask for a tip. Who am I tipping, the app? And what problem is this QR code/app solving? Something that would have taken 30 seconds or less if I could have talked with a real person, took a good five minutes or more. The coffee, though way overpriced, was a fairly generous pour. But the lemon cake was hard, dry and inedible, like it'd been sitting out for a week. When I managed to flag an actual person down to tell them, they offered to pour simple syrup over it to soften it up. I just told them I didn't want it. They said they'd take it off the bill and credit me, but they never did. read more

Place looks different from years ago. What happened to the chaotic color scheme with the couches and everything? The Birthday promo I received didn't work either and tables remained dirty for an unreasonable amount of time. I had to buss it myself and place it in their bins near the counter because of how long I was waiting. For what you offer, the food is too expensive to the ratio of portions you receive. The staff are the only saving grace. read more

Great place for coffee and tea! Got there around 10:30am on a Sunday and it was already quite busy. Waited a little bit to snag a table, but not terribly long. Easy ordering directly from your table and a water station to help yourself. We didn't order food, but it looked pretty good! Quote a few people working from there with their laptops and several groups of friends catching up. Also big tables that allow several different people to sit whether solo or together. read more

Bummed breakfast isn't served all day. We were about to place it and it hit 3:01 literally talked to the server and they didn't let us place the order. Super disappointing Then the dinner menu pops up and I noticed the same Korean chicken sandwich is 6$ more expensive from 15 to 21$ just for the same thing on a different "dinner menu" The vibes are great for studying and doing work. Was really looking forward to trying their breakfast. read more

Sibs were visiting from out of town and our brunch plans had fallen through. Luckily, a quick yelp search and we stumbled upon Kaldi's Social House. Although it's pretty popular, we were able to find outside seating, used the QR code to order, and next thing you know, the food started coming out. The servers made sure our orders were right, and accurate. Not only did the food look appealing, it tasted soooo good! It was a wonderful experience, and the sibs left impressed. So know you know, next time you're craving something delicious and healthy, head over to Aldi's, they won't disappoint! read more

I can't believe I've never been to Kaldi's! The coffee, food, and company were all good. It's slightly tucked away and the entrance is a little strange. It's right at the corner before you hit the neighborhoods of Clarendon. Not very much outdoor seating but I prefer inside here. It is more of a cafe vibe and was pretty packed even for 1PM on a Saturday. I ordered the honey pistachio latte, which was great, light flavor, very picturesque. It also had good flavors and quite pretty. The thai chicken buddha bowl was delicious and had a slight kick. The sauces and flavors were light. Very filling as well with the quinoa. The fruit tart was good, but I probably wouldn't get it again. I do like pastries, but was definitely feeling the fullness from the bowl and latte. I would definitely come back here for the vibes and that buddha bowl. They also had quite an extensive menu that looked quite good like the chicken and waffles. read more

I've been to Kaldi's twice now and have loved it both times. It is such a cute and cozy cafe. There are lots of people working on laptops at the tables. And there are comfy couches for catching up with friends. The food is so good! I loved the Thai chicken salad. It was flavorful and filling. I also had the caprese panini (a different day), and it was so yummy. I have been very pleased with the food. They also have lots of coffee and tea options. Great spot for studying, hanging out, or catching up. read more

Kaldi’s Social House - Thai Tofu/Chicken Buddha Bowl - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

My first time here, and I will say it's a very cute space. I enjoy the music here, it's upbeat but not too loud or distracting if you are trying to do work. However, this can be a tricky place to work at if you are in back to back meetings where you need to be talking, as a lot of the spaces are shared tables so you can hear everyone around you. The prices are really affordable (around $4 for coffee). I got the raspberry and green tea iced refresher and it is a nice combination of flavors without being overly sweet (bonus for it coming in a pretty glass). Things to note, they do not take cash, and you can order right from your table. When going up to look at a menu, the employee was looking at his phone and not very friendly and welcoming but totally understand if he was dealing with a business matter, it also was a very short interaction. There is also a good amount of parking (mostly street parking). read more

I enjoyed this place. My cousin and I met here for a late dinner. It wasn't many people in there. Our waiter was so attentive and we appreciated that. The vibe was nice. People were working in there. It just very calm and relaxing place. Food was good. We ordered our steaks medium but they were very well done. That was the only thing. Most definitely will visit again. read more

new fav local coffee shop! i easily found nearby street parking on a sunday (free). very chill, cozy, coffeehouse vibes with a decent amount of seating (tables, couches, window-barstools, a couple outdoor tables). lots of people working on laptops but also groups for a casual brunch. seat yourself and order through the QR code at the table. averagely priced, maybe slightly cheaper than other similar places. my food and drink came out within 10 min. one of the best chai lattes i've had in a while - so creamy. my bowl was delicious but looking at others' recent pics of it it seems like it mine was missing the crushed peanuts :( still absolutely love and will 100% be coming back! read more

This place is a hidden gem! Why does VA have all the nice coffee shops. The cashier was so nice. I called and asked where to people park and she assisted. If you can find street parking you can just park there or the residential areas. The coffee shop was such a vibe. Super cute and the music level was perfect so you can still be productive here. The food was good! I went in the morning and there was a good amount of seats. I heard this place can get packed. Coffee was great! I ordered the pumpkin spice latte and the coffee art was giving gorgeous! I live 30miles away from here and I know there is one in Silver Spring but I heard this location is better. Now I have to go to the Silver Spring location to be the judge of that. I love this coffee shop! Definitely worth the drive. If you need an outlet you need to sit at the tables with the plugs. You can get a lot of work done here. Thanks for the great experience read more

I absolutely love this place! It's 5 stars for a reason (even with some downsides). In all fairness, there are a few downsides (that I do view as minor): - It is very busy each time I've been (but...why do you think that is?!) - Parking in the area can be difficult The fact that they have gluten free bread and options on their food menu...HALLELUJAH. And their drinks are delicious!! You can also either order at the register, or, you can use a QR code wherever you find a seat and they'll just bring it right to you. Love that! The ambiance is super cute, although again, it can take a minute to find a spot in the beautiful space due to how busy it is. They have both inside and outside seating options. Definitely give this space a try for the delicious food, drinks, and the stylish ambiance! Service has also always been great. read more

3.5/5 but I rounded up. A decent place to telework. However, I arrived around 1:30 pm on a Wednesday, and it was absolutely packed. It may be difficult to find seating as it seems people sit here for hours teleworking or studying. The food and drinks were fine. I ordered a caramel iced latte and a hot caprese sandwich. The latte had a strong espresso flavor, which I enjoyed. However, the hot caprese sandwich wasn't really hot--it was more lukewarm, possibly because the server brought it out a bit late after it had been sitting for a while. read more

Kaldi’s Social House - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

I have been here many times at many different times of day for various different purposes and it provides a solid, easy environment for socializing over whatever type of food or drink suits your fancy - coffee and pastry, a full brunch or dinner, cocktails and apps, or just a green smoothie. Plus the mix of counter or communal seating, regular table seating, and couch/coffee table seating also adds to the versatility of this venue. QR code ordering at the table is also convenient and makes it easy to come with a group and not have to worry about splitting a bill or one person wanting to order a lot while someone else orders a little. It also makes it easy to add order new drinks or bites as desired. Food and beverage are generally solid if not mindblowing, though portions on some of the happyhour apps can be a little skimpy. Reasons it is a 4 and not a 5: It is always very crowded, at least on weekends, until at least 5ish PM. That itself isn't the restaurant's fault, but I do feel that seating could be optimized better to accommodate more people and staff or signage could be used to facilitate more people getting the type of seating they want. Currently, one person can sit down and hog a couch and coffee table meant for 2 to 3 people and it's lord of the flies. It is also extremely difficult to get a table near an outlet and people will hog laptop friendly/outlet accessible tables for ages with no staff oversight or time limit. For this reason I do not come here to do work, just to grab food or drinks with a friend. Could not make a cappuccino to save their lives. And it is advertised as a coffee house. This is a problem all over the DC area but I had to repeatedly send back cappuccino that were basically just disgusting lattes until I finally stopped ordering them here. Then I saw they had added a "traditional cappucino" to the menu in addition to the normal cappuccino. The description had the proportions correct and I assumed this was added in response to consumer feedback, so I ordered it. Literally the same thing. Not a real cappuccino, and like a latte but not as good. I do not get it. They should just remove both cappuccinos from the menu. Service is spotty. I *like* QR code ordering, and they bring the food to the table without issue, but then you never see anyone again and if there is an issue with your order or you need additional silverware or something you have to walk up to the bar and get a barrista's attention, which can be challenging or awkward if they are busy. I get that that is standard in a coffee shop but this is a hybrid between a coffee shop and a regular restaurant because they serve cocktails and full entrees, so It would be nice if someone just wandered around every so often checking on people. The lack of service checking on people or helping to facilitate seating doesn't stop them from requesting tip on their QR ordering platform and using settings that default to a full service tip, though. In summary, this place is easy and versatile (if you can get a table) and it's a good place to go just to meet a friend for coffee or a bite or a cocktail, and come and go as you please. I do not personally like to come here to do anything requiring a laptop, and would not recommend if you want a more doting, full service experience. read more

Walking into this cozy gem of a coffee shop is like stepping into a warm hug. From the inviting ambiance to the friendly baristas, every detail is crafted with care. But the real star of the show? Their lavender matcha latte. This drink is a revelation--smooth and velvety matcha, perfectly balanced with a delicate hint of lavender that doesn't overpower but instead complements the earthy tones beautifully. Each sip feels like a moment of zen. It's not just a beverage; it's a whole experience. Whether you're here to work, catch up with friends, or simply take a pause in your day, this coffee shop offers the perfect blend of atmosphere and flavor. Highly recommend it to anyone who appreciates unique and thoughtful creations in their cup! Close to metro and easy parking around. Restrooms are clean. Service is lovely! read more

This is not my first time visiting Kaldis Social House (the 10th street location in Arlington) but I can guarantee you this will be my last. A few friends and I stopped in on 1/14/25 and I couldn't be anything less than disappointed. Both the workers and the servers were EXTREMELY nasty to us as we were dining within the establishment. They also refused services to another black woman and threatened to call the police. They constantly harassed the woman and refused to serve her food because she only had cash. One of my friends offered to purchase her food for her, however they stated that we weren't allowed to purchase this woman's food. I am not sure where that is allowed, but okay. The staff's behavior was discriminatory, which made me and my party feel unwelcome. Treating customers differently based on race, gender, etc. is completely unacceptable. Not only was the service unprofessional, but it also left us feeling uncomfortable and singled out. This kind of behavior has no place in a business that relies on serving diverse customers. I strongly urge the management to address this issue immediately, ensure proper training for your staff; Jess (manager), along with Maribel, Edith, & Rosie and create a more inclusive environment. Until meaningful changes are made, I cannot recommend this establishment to anyone. read more

Perfect start to my week! I stopped in Kaldi's Social House when they opened on a Monday morning to get a coffee while waiting for the vet across the street to open. I have passed by here at least 10 times but always thought it was an apartment complex or hotel. The vibe is giving posh & upscale! The space is situated on a corner and lined with windows on both sides, bright lights and plenty of seating options. They have a full service bar, coffee/espresso and smoothies. The morning pastry selection has a good variety. I ordered a large apt and honey latte (they give you four shots ... hallelujah!) and a fresh spinach and feta pastry! The coffee was perfection from first sip and the pastry makes me want to go back and get one for later. In addition to the variety of food and drink options they have tvs, a large meeting table and a friendly staff. They do not accept cash. read more

I came here to get some much needed studying done. I wanted to try a new place and randomly found it on a map and made the short journey! It was much larger than expected. There was a large table right when you walk in where a lot of WFH people were at, their laptops up with everyone typing away. There was a variety of seating and overall had a great ambiance to the place. I decided to get a campfire smore's latte. I loved the presentation and it tasted oh so good. I'm not usually a big chocolatey drink person, but it wasn't too much at all. Everyone was very friendly. Definitely will be back! read more

I cannot say enough good things about this place. We recently held a celebration of life event with them and from start to finish it was perfect.

This is a coffee shop with a detailed menu, you seat yourself, order from couches and tables on your phone, and they bring you your food. I went on a Sunday and there were a lot of people working on their computers at the tables, but I'm not sure how the digital nomads are during the week! I appreciate their selection that caters to dietary restrictions and allergies and was so excited to find somewhere with gluten free waffles. They looked really good but I was a little disappointed in how soggy they were, I prefer a waffle that has more structure and they tasted... eggy, so I'm wondering if I just got an underdone batch. I asked someone in the party to give it a try and they agreed they tasted odd (and I know gf food tastes different, but this was very different) I also got a coffee (not pictured) which I enjoyed. I might go back in the future when I'm just getting coffee, or try something else from the menu, but I was disappointed by the waffles. read more

Social House it is indeed. On a Friday afternoon, every seat in this place was Jam Packed with people studying and working and just you know, socializing. I ordered a decaf candy cane latte (you can get whatever milk your heart desires as well as either white or dark mocha- I got the dark). The drink was ok, a bit on the burnt side with really no taste of "candy cane" imo. Service was ok. They serve food and alcoholic drinks as well. I am def sure if you're stopping by here, it's to work or for the gathering of a place. read more

This place is busy!! I did see a folks have reserved seating for larger parties, so you have plan to bring in a group perhaps book ahead of time because this is a popular spot. I have seen this place plenty of times, but I've never wandered in until just recently with a friends of mine! First, the food is a bit pricey but for the area it's not a surprise. I didn't think the sandwich was worth the price as it had minimal amount of meat in it. The reason I'm not reviewing so harshly is truly the drinks were well made. We ordered three cocktails, all of us got coffees too! And enjoyed it. I'm typically not a coffee drinker, but I wanted to try their Mexican mocha. I'm so glad I did! I got a second one to go. The extensive drink options may seem overwhelming, but if you are in the mood to splurge I highly recommend you do. The drinks tasted quite good and even the cocktails. I will definitely come back here! The service was nice, and it feels like any other cafe but quite busier and louder, so I wouldn't say this is the most ideal working spot but to each their own. read more

Visited this place for the first time and loved the vibes! I ordered the Honey Pistachio Latte: honey, pistachio, espresso, and orange zest. It wasn't the best pistachio latte I've had, the temperature was not cold enough for an iced coffee, and the orange zest flavor overpowered the pistachio and honey notes. Couldn't really taste the coffee through the orange zest. The iced dirty chai was still warm with a few melting ice cubes floating around, defeating the purpose of ordering it iced. Loved the vibes of this place though -- casual + chill & cozy vibes, good background music that's not too loud; spacious area but packed on weekends, and staff was pretty friendly. Will come back here to try other menu items. read more
