What People Are Saying
from Google & Yelp"Kaleidoscope Coffee has a really nice, relaxed vibe. I tried the flat mocha and the Nutella toast, both were solid and comforting. A lot of people were working on laptops, which made it feel like a great place to hang out or get some work done. I also happened to catch a stand-up open mic while I was there, which was a fun surprise and added to the atmosphere. Overall, a chill spot with good energy."
"Decent place. They have stand up comedy showd too. Good place to chill relax and have a good coffee."
"Kaleidoscope has a great atmosphere and I love their coffee and food. Bonuses are that they have a rewards program and allow dogs. Despite this, they earned three stars because the coffee and food is completely overpriced and the service is slow. I paid $20 for a regular-sized iced mocha and winter toast (a slice of sourdough bread with goat cheese, red peppers, and capers). The $20 was without the tip, which means I paid more than $20 with the tip included. It took 15 minutes for the toast to be ready. I've been here a dozen times now, and this is the standard wait time. Although I love their coffee and food, it's really hard justifying spending money here when I could easily buy fancy coffee for less at other places that are just as good, and make the same food for a fraction of the price -- and less time! -- at home."
"Lovely atmosphere . Plenty of seating options indoors as well as outdoors. Staff is friendly and attentive to your needs. Lots of people flowing in and out of the cafe throughout the day. We usually order beverages but there is a good selection of sweets and light sandwiches to go. Also vegetarian choices available. A place for everyone even kid friendly. It's a must-visit spot that will make you want to come back again and again."
"It is a beautiful space and the atmosphere is so good. Maybe we caught the barista (tall white guy) on a bad day, but his service and attitude was so bad that it couldn’t help but feel like it had a racist element. And if you look at the picture that’s how they serve you when you want to dine in and have a nice cup of coffee, a disappointing/low-effort presentation."
"Amazing hot chocolate!!! So rich. Love a hot cocoa on a cold evening. Will be back to try their coffee and matcha series!"
