I just visited Kaldi’s for the first time over the weekend. I’m actually not a big coffee person (I drink it, but I certainly could live without it), however I was there to meet a friend for a breakfast date and some girl time, which I’ll almost never pass up!

I noticed there were several chai options on the menu, so I ordered the cashier’s recommendation (was super yum), and I also ordered a particularly delicious-looking piece of chocolate chip banana bread (was indeed delicious) that was making eyes with me through a glass that’s surely only in place so that all of the beautiful baked treats will not suddenly and mysteriously disappear upon my arrival…haha!

There was a line, but it moved along pretty well, and the people working there were just so polite and lovely to interact with. Wait was 15 minutes for my chai, which was spot-on with what they notified me of prior to placing my order. For a very busy Saturday morning, 15 minutes for a chai doesn’t seem like a big deal to me. We got a table while we waited, so no standing inside, and we were able to start enjoying the weather before it got hot out (the sun rose from behind the building, so we sat for a good 2 hours without direct sun). A speaker outside announced when orders were ready for those not waiting inside, so no worries about your order sitting around without your knowledge.

I definitely recommend a visit to Kaldi’s. I think you’ll really enjoy it, even if coffee isn’t your most favorite thing, and if you hang around long enough (like we did), you won’t even have to move your car to go get lunch!
