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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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).
Really cool vibe with plenty of seating inside! I came on Veterans Day and there wasn't a table or seat open!! Everyone was working or hanging out so that was awesome but I definitely recommend coming early or at off hours for a spot. Pretty good menu variety. I got an iced chai latte and it was delicious, really recommend. All the food I saw looked really fresh and yummy. Workers were really kind and friendly. Worked really fast.
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.
There are do many options and the vibe is so relaxing. There are so many more dishes I want to try on the menu. The server at the register is super informed, and can answer and dietary questions.
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.

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
Nice place! Lots of seating and outdoor seating. You sit down at a table and order through a QR code (unless you're getting it to go, then it's at the cash register). Free WiFi! Good place to WFH, but limited outlets to charge devices. Open all day which is nice. Coffee is decent, food was pretty good with fresh ingredients 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

Came on a Sunday around noon and it was pretty busy. A good amount of seating but it can be crowded sometimes. Got a chai latte and loved it. Definitely my favorite drink I've gotten here so far. One of my favorite places to come do work. 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

A nice coffee shop to work from. There are multiple tables and couches for seating. There are QR codes on the tables to order food, and someone will bring the food to you. PB latte- still a little too sweet for me, even though I asked for half the amount of chocolate syrup Ultimate breakfast sandwich- good, but I would try their other dishes first Banana bread- average for a $5 slice read more

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

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
Came here for a quick brunch with my girlfriends. We ordered via the QR code on the table and everything came out in a reasonable amount of time. I ordered the breakfast burrito with added chicken and it was incredible. My friend got the tomato soup and still talks about it to this day! Be prepared to scout out a table as seating is first come first serve. 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

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
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
This place is ALWAYS packed, and for a good reason! The space is nice, service is quick, and quality of food is delicious. We ordered the margarita and arugula goat cheese salad with chicken added. We also tried the Thai chili wings, and I would say everything tasted great. You order from a QR code menu at your table, and the staff bring it to you. I'm excited to come back during the day to try their coffee as well. Just be prepared to wait around to find a seat! read more
