Fantastic coffee, filthy canteen. I love the coffee at Kaladi which makes writing this review a bummer. Both Kaladi locations are filthy. While sitting at the Evan's location enjoying a cup of Joe I looked around and noticed the window sills and floor were covered in years worth of dust and grime. The bathroom at the Broadway location looks like something from a 1970 gas station - the wall is tiled which should make cleaning easy but it looks as though it's never been cleaned (same with the toilet). It's disconcerting to think if the sitting areas and bathrooms are that dirty, what is the food/drink area like? Unfortunately, today was my last trip to Kaladi.

I went to Kaldi Brothers Coffee on Northern Lights Blvd. today, 11/16/2023 at about 7 am. I have been going there for several years. Sometimes I ask for a refill, and did so today (I have always been given a refill). I was told by the counterperson that they no longer give refills. The counterperson's co-worker said "you can go to any other coffee shop in town and they will give you a refill". In other words, do not come here any more. I do not understand this. I was nice and pleasant with both workers when I ordered my first cup, and when I asked for a refill. I even gave a tip. Yesterday (11/15/2023) I had no problem getting a refill. I would like to ask Kaldi Brothers management: 1. Do you allow your employees to discriminate against your customers on the basis of race? 2. Do you allow your employees to discriminate against your customers on the basis of gender? 3. Do you allow your employees to discriminate against your customers on the basis of age? I would really like someone from Kaldi Brothers management to answer these questions.

I love KBC! This particular location is great because there's a cozy fireplace with two chairs in front of it. Just be aware that yes, Anchorage has an issue: we have a large homeless population--just remember, it costs you nothing to be kind to them and offer a smile. The reason they're here is because they get free coffee and I support that.

I'll start by saying I love Kaladi's coffee. They've ALWAYS been my go-to. This particular location, however, has been inconsistent and I wonder why I keep returning. After my experience last month, I'm compelled to write as it's not the first time I've had a ho-hum customer service experience. The gal taking our order was friendly - refreshing! The barista, however, was not and rather rude. She appeared bored with her job while providing (what shouldn't be) a lukewarm latte. I also kindly tried pointing out to her someone had dumped garbage/spilled coffee cup in a clothing donation box and she acted like she could care less. The gal who took my order was one who finally acknowledged me - thank you - as I was only trying to help them out. I've since taken my almost daily coffee orders to a different business until Kaladi's could figure out some of their customer service issues. I tried contacting Kaladi's directly to provide feedback so I wouldn't have to post here... but they never acknowledged me.

Unhoused people come into the store and corner you for money. It was annoying. I gave him the rest of my coffee then more people came in.

I shared the kaladi 16oz hot with my husband. Thank god I shared it because the barista's recommendation didn't hit it off for me. I read the history of this coffee shop and was intrigued to try it out but unfortunately I was disappointed. Parking is not an issue as it's located in a complex so there's ample parking. Just don't leave belongings in the car as you will find a lot of homeless folks around not just outside but inside the coffee shop aswell and the staff does nothing about it.

Always consistent and the best espresso in town! Whether you like straight espresso, lattes, mochas, or tea, Kaladi's always delivers a delicious drink. Tried their Valentine's special today, and it was amazing!

This is inside the grocery store. There is no entrance to this even if the corner of the shopping center has Kaladi branding.No food options was a bummer.Service was fantastic and all the coffee we ordered was amazing.
I have liked to come into Kaladi Brothers coffee House for many many years now. They offer a really nice atmosphere. No one else in town offers the relaxed atmosphere that they do. Unfortunately today's experience was not good. I brought my wife and daughter in. My daughter ordered a chocolate muffin. My wife ordered a whole grain bagel with cream cheese. They pulled out the chocolate muffin and the bagel and put them on plates for us and one of the other people behind th

This place sucks. The tea is average, there is no dine in, you have to wear a mask and they have lame paper straws. Get woke go broke. I’ll be back, never.

I love a good local coffee - and this did not disappoint. I highly recommend taking a bag or two home to friends as a souvenir.
