You can make reservations here! Highly recommend if you're planning to stop by on a busy Saturday or Sunday. We had no issues finding street parking on Sunday morning. This spot was perfect for a long catch up with friends. No rush to get out, and you can place all orders via toast so you don't need to get up from your seat either. Food and coffee were just okay, but the good location and pleasant cafe vibes made up for it. I got the ultimate breakfast sandwich which was actually pretty tasty! The avocado made it soggy but I liked the flavor regardless.

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.

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).

This review reflects my experience dining out with celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that requires me to maintain a diet free of gluten (including cross contact).SERVICE: 4/5 starsDRINKS: 3/5 starsFOOD: 5/5 starsAMBIANCE: 3/5 starsVALUE: 4/5 starsOVERALL RATING: 4/5 starsFriends and I spent an afternoon at Kaldi's Social House, a local spot for Arlington residents that serves coffee, cocktails, and food. When I arrived at Kaldi's, it was very busy; I was not sure we would locate a table sufficiently large to seat our party of seven. But, thankfully, the tables turn over somewhat quickly; we found a couch and chairs that could accommodate us all. Music was playing and conversations were lively, but it was not too loud to hear all of my friends.Kaldi's utilizes table-side QR codes to order via Toast; this limits modifications or requesting items off menu. Accordingly, we ordered a number of cocktails from the happy-hour menu and warm beverages that were a reasonable price without the discount. Each transaction through Toast was processed separately (so no tabs to maintain and close before we left).Over the course of a few hours, I ordered three mimosas; they were mediocre, using sparkling wine that was not very effervescent. With my third drink, I ordered a Caprese sandwich, which was accompanied by a side salad. Unfortunately, because I could not speak with a server, I didn't know if the fries were safe for consumption by a person with celiac disease; I added a note to my order, requesting my sandwich be made using gluten-free bread (and requested the kitchen avoid cross contact to gluten-containing grains). The salad was large, well dressed, and contained a breadth of different winter vegetables. The sandwich was delicious--very large, pesto forward, and on well-toasted gluten-free bread.Overall, I was pleased to try Kaldi's while out in Arlington. If I am in the area in the future, I would stop in again (that Caprese sandwich is calling my name...).

We've visited Kaldi's for breakfast over the years, and today's meal was just as satisfying as always. The breakfast burrito was delicious, featuring a subtle saltiness from the potatoes and a warm, slightly toasted tortilla. The salad had just the right amount of dressing. The chicken on the waffle was freshly fried, complemented by a hint of sweetness and spicy jalapeños in the corn waffles. We enjoyed the cozy ambiance and the clean, inviting space with large windows, perfect for people-watching. Service was satisfying, as expected.

Really enjoyed co-working at this place! Amazing playlist, good natural lighting, and cozy and ample seating! Caramel latte was huge (kinda $), but worth it for the amazing vibes! Would 100% come here again, can't believe it's taken so long for us to come here! Servers very nice and orders arrived quickly!!

One of my favv study spots in Arlington!! It's large and comes with many different sits, perfect for a place to meet up with friends and catch up. I would say it gets prettyy busy after 11am so if you want a seat make sure to come early. The food and drinks options are fairly large. I got the lunch bowl with a Carmel latte. The bowl had fresh ingredients making it feel so healthy to eat.

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.

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.
