The Scene
In a sleepy corner of the Demun neighborhood lies Kaldi's. As popular with students as with fortysomething Clayton residents, the place is rarely empty. You'll probably end up standing in line for your grande latte, though that's due as much to the lackadaisical service as to Kaldi's popularity. This is definitely not the place for harried workaholics jonesing for some quick caffeine. But if a relaxing morning sipping coffee is your speed, stop by.
The Food
According to co-founder Howard Lerner, Kaldi's brews "the only certified kosher coffee in the Midwest, which means a rabbi checks out the roasting plant every month." Of its nearly 100 coffee products, Lerner notes that about 30 are organic, which means Kaldi's is also "the largest roaster of certified organic coffees in the Midwest." And not only does it serve fine, house-roasted coffee, it also has a great vegetarian menu. Try some hummus or a veggie sandwich for a light meal or a snack to fuel your midterm crunch.

I have tried 4 of their coffees and all 4 were lousy. Its a nice place with nice seating but I could not get past the lousy coffee. I would say if the coffee that you drink has more cream and sugar in it than coffee then you could tolerate it. But if you like good coffee then this is not the place for you.

I tried Kaldi's at the suggestion of a friend. I realize that tastes vary, but I couldn't believe that anyone was calling this great coffee. Atmosphere was quite nice.......just couldn't get past the bad coffee!

I've been to every independent coffee shop in the St. Louis area, and hands down Kaldi's is still the best. After more than 10 years of going to the DeMun store it is still the best with the best decoration, best coffee, and hands down the best staff and service. Far worth making the trip in to Clayton if you live in Chesterfield or beyond.
