Kaldi's Social House - Shirlington

I have never been there before, and I was excited to go try it. Went in to grab a salad at around 630. Went to use the bathrooms. One of the toilets was filled with urine and there was paper towels all over the floor. The other bathroom was not much better. I told the staff about it and they said they clean it twice a day and kind of rolled their eyes as if there’s nothing they can do. As far as I know when you run an establishment having a clean restroom is very important. It definitely took my appetite away.

I asked for my burger to be cooked well done. After I got back home and bit into it, I noticed that the middle was raw. I'm pregnant so eating raw food is not advised. Very disappointed that I spent $18 on a burger I can't eat not mention the health risk.

This place is such a cool vibe. It’s like a modern “friends” establishment lol! A lot of comfortable seating for you to chill or work. Definitely my new go to spot. sorry Tatte lol!

I came here for the first time on a Monday afternoon to do some work — and wow was it crowded! I didn’t know this was more of a work study lounge vs just a cafe. I got an iced chai and it was VERY good (and I find it very difficult to find good iced chais, so my standards are high). They have a long table with outlets where you can do work it was spacious even with people on each side of me, and the chairs were comfortable. I would definitely come back to try some of their food and also to do more work!

Marvin made my house-special seasonal coffee order (non-PSL) on a perfect September morning and made my day by complimenting my bracelets. Cool dude. Will come back.Also- crazy effective work “get-it-done” vibes in here. Knock out your project, research or homework in no time here.
