I wanted to write a review because I worked here for about a month before being suddenly fired. The owner is nice, but her husband, who manages everything, created a very uncomfortable work environment. He frequently brought up politics, demographics, and "statistics" at work in ways that felt inappropriate and often came across as biased. It wasn't the kind of environment I expected from a workplace. I personally chose not to engage with these conversations because I was there to work, and I try to keep my personal beliefs separate from my workplace. However, being repeatedly exposed to these types of comments from management made the environment feel unprofessional. I also noticed that he would tell us certain employees had quit, but after speaking with those employees, I learned that was not always what happened. This made me feel like there was a lack of honesty and transparency in how situations were handled. One comment that really stuck with me was when he told me and another young female employee that we'd be prettier if we spoke more intelligently and that men would like us more. We are both very young girls, and that comment was incredibly inappropriate and made us uncomfortable. I was also told that if I came in early every day, I would receive a $1 raise. I did exactly that, and I received the raise on my final paycheck. Just a few days later, I was fired. It was confusing to be recognized with a raise and then immediately let go without being given a meaningful explanation. I was told I was being fired because I supposedly had an attitude with a customer. When I asked what had happened, I wasn't given a clear explanation and was simply told they had decided not to continue my employment. I work hard, take my jobs seriously, and I rarely leave negative reviews because I know everyone is trying their best. I didn't contact them afterward because I felt I had already been treated disrespectfully. After the way I was spoken to and the lack of honest communication, I didn't feel another conversation would have changed anything. As a customer, I also found the food to be average, especially for the price. Before I even worked here, my mom and I had cheesecake from the café on a few different occasions, and every time it had a noticeable freezer-burn taste. For the prices they charge, I expected much better quality. Based on my experience as both an employee and a customer, I would encourage people to support another family-owned café instead. read more

This little red building in the side of the road is a truly must stop. The staff is incredibly friendly and patient as you browse through the bakery case and drink menu. I have the Cinnamon Kookie Butter Chai Latte and it was delicious, sad they don't offer it in a bigger size cup. Lol. But it's a must try if you are unsure what to get. The Vibe is a little hole in a wall where you can work out of or purchase a comic book. read more

I love that they had a variety of Mexican inspired drinks and had a ton of a different pastries and sweets. The staff was super friendly and I love that there was inside and outside seating. My only complaint is trying to get into the building with a stroller is like a little difficult. I wish they had a ramp but overall, it was a super cute café with good drinks I would return. read more

Such a cute coffee shop and staff is very friendly. There is lots of parking and a great sitting are. The cookie is delicious and made perfectly. The coffee was not good. I've had chocolate abuelita and it has a very certain taste. This one was just grainy and had absolutely no chocolate flavor. I would come back but would try something else. read more

This Kafe and s WELL worth the drop. I drive by often when out west. My first time here I'm ashamed I passed by so many times and never stopped in. Situated just off of Rt 30 / Lincoln Highway in Cresthill IL on the side of the road it's a little red house with a decent sized parking lot. Super cute and way cozy. I always notice the patio that folks sit on early mornings and decided it was time. Upon entering I had three super friendly women say hello to me. It's larger than it looks with seating inside in nice booths and really well decorated. It's also very clean and customers keep rolling in on way to work. The staff is awesome and the women I spoke to informed me that they've been there about 5 years and that all the pastures are made in house. These are not average d eryday pastries they are luxurious treats beautifully created at a reasonable price. The in house bakers need a huge shout out along with the entire staff. Their coffee is really good too, string but not at all overwhelming. Actually excellent stop. I'm sure they will be seeing more of me. You really gotta try this place and I'm sure you'll return. read more

The coffee I tried was a seasonal one with eggnog and would 100% get again. Looking forward to the next visit read more

Incredible drinks. My wife had the Coconut milkshake. It was in the middle consistency of a thick shake and glass of milk; if that makes sense. On the thinner side for sure; but not too thin. Shake was *Loaded* with shredded coconut. I'm not a huge coconut fan... but this shake was amazing. I had the Iced Americano. (My daily regular at Sbucks). This went way beyond my expectations. Absolutely perfection. Lastly, my wife tried the Apple Croissant and I had the S'mores Cookie. Both were heated up for us... and both were so good. 5 stars and beyond. read more

Went in to buy some beans to make espresso at home and the girl opens a fresh bag of unmarked beans that are a dark roast. No date on the bag of when they were roasted. Sells me a pound and all she can tell me is it's a Brazilian dark roast no other info of flavor profile or anything or roasted date. Once I got home I thought she put black beans in my bag. These things are so over roasted a burnt smell like it would work 60% of the time every time !!! If you like an oily black been to mess up your grinder with then purchase here. Otherwise if you like over roasted burnt smelling " fresh " beans to drink then this is the place for you. read more

Kafe De Kasa - Coffee beans - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Crest Hill, Illinois

Bought a abuelita frappe, a Nutella danish, and some coffee beans. two massive chunks of the chocolate mix was in my drink so I didn't get a whole lot of liquid, but the drink itself didn't taste like coffee at all just sugar and chocolate. The Nutella danish that was incredible however! the beans on the other hand were roasted beyond imagination these beans were super stinky when I opened the bag it aired out a little after a day but I tried to make coffee with it and it clogged my grinder up they're super oily and dark beans. I had to toss the bag I had no other choice. there goes 16 bucks and a mess I gotta deal with! DO NOT RECOMMEND read more

First time visiting and I can tell I'm gonna be a fan! I walked in and saw the pastry case full of different options if you have a sweet tooth. I personally enjoy a banana muffin, so I got that, and it was phenomenal! Very moist and flavorful. Along with my pastry I got their cinnamon chai. It wasn't as flavorful or spiced as I hoped it would be, but to their credit, cafes never really seem to get the flavor of chai right. It was pretty decent though. Service was great, and the person checking me out was very friendly. The ambience is nice as well, I came to study and felt it was a nice little place to set up and lock in. Overall great place! Would recommend! read more

I've been wanting to check this place out for years. Recently came here today to see what they offered. This place is almost like a Starbucks but a small business. Tried their refresher and their freshly baked muffin. Great seats and nice spot to gather and network. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable of their menu. Clean restrooms. Decent amount of parking too! read more

Great coffee, bakery and service. Looking for a quality drink and treat? This is your place.

Yes the dessert were good. Tried the strawberry cookie and the fruity pebbles cookie and lots of macaroons, the place is small with limited seating and low parking, best is take it to go. The staff was friendly and helpful as it was our first time. Husband tried strawberry lava lemonade, said it was better less ice only one size. read more

Such a cute little coffee shop. The inside of the place is clean. The service is always great. Very friendly. I've had different drinks there from the refreshers to the coffee and nothing has disappointed. The only down side of this place is the parking lot is very small. On the weekends when it's busier, it's hard to get in and out of. Highly recommend if wanting to try a more elevated coffee place. read more

I tried the Biscotti Cheesecake, and wow--it's the perfect balance of flavors. It's not too sweet, even with the caramel topping and whipped cream. I can't wait to come back and try the other flavors! My best friend swears by the Nutella coffee and says the macaroons are a must-try. If you're in the area, this cozy spot is definitely worth checking out. Great coffee, amazing desserts, and the kind of place where you can really tell the owners care. read more

Well, I'm sure Johnny is glad that he's got honest girls working for him. I haven't been in there in a couple months, and I went in there today to get my favorite iced coffee and the two girls that are always in there, were waiting on me and I was trying to catch up with them a little bit, and somehow I forgot to take my card out of the reader, I took my drink, went outside, got in my car, was getting adjusted and all of a sudden Isabel came running out with my card , saying oh my God I can't believe you're still here. And she brought my card to me in my car, because I was so dumb & I left it in the card reader. What a great person! Johnny's got some good people working for him along with the great coffee. Top shelf thank you Isabel. Much appreciated. read more

This is one of the best spots for coffee in the area and a the pastries are out of this world.

Great go-to coffee spot! Super great service too. Their sweet treats are good too! Their empanada de Dulce de leche is divine.

Among the best places for a coffee. It always beats going to a chain where it's impersonal. Kafe De Kasa also has some good looking pastries. Good place to pick up a treat for you or someone else. The prices are pretty affordable on most things. It makes it worth a trip to Crest Hill. Luckily it wasn't too far away so it was a nice pick me up one cold morning. This is a place that looks like a little house so it's easy to miss the first few times. Has a surprisingly big list of coffee. They have the usual stuff plus things that are more unique. A good one is the Oreo Latte. It's $5 for a regular. This is made with choice of milk and has actual Oreo pieces. Sugar high. The pastries look pretty good too. It's about $3 or so for each. They don't seem to have any vegan ones so that's one thing here sucky. Has only a few tables all of which are inside. It can be hard to get a seat. They usually aren't too busy though. read more

When walking you're welcomed by a great arrangement of pastries, Cookies, macarons, a very colorful cheesecake selection. For a small location, it's perfect for a writing space or a hangout location. The service is good and isn't fake, all you could ask for. I hope they continue to improve the location. A few critiques if the owner reads the review: An outlet by the corner window would be a great save for me, it's my preferred spot. Also, the prices on the cheesecakes are understandable but are still a bit expensive given their size. read more

I don't usually give points for atmosphere, BUT they literally have CGC comics as display. WTF?! That's a 1st. Also a Squid Games mask lol. Just random display stuff. Really unique atmosphere in this small joint that's filled with love. It's just a small place in the middle of a field that you can miss completely if driving by, rarified air. The coffee itself is bomb and above average as is the desserts, at least the cheesecakes were great. read more

I love this place, the drinks and pastries are always amazing, and the staff is always friendly. Great small business I'm happy to visit whenever I can. read more

This place is so adorable. It's really tiny and cozy and tucked away. There's only a few booths so it's not loud or crowded. The variety of drinks they offer is insane. It was impossible to pick just one but they do adorable little flights so that was obviously the move. I think the cookie butter was my favorite. I also got delicious little energy bites and a blueberry lemon cheesecake, which had a nice zestiness and amazing whipped cream. It's not close enough to become a regular spot but I'd definitely come back. read more

I drove by here probably for years not noticing it, until I finally noticed the sign and decided to stop in a month ago. Doesn't look like much from the outside, but it's very cute and comfortable inside. The coffee and drinks options are plentiful. The coffee is very good, and the bakery items are very good. So glad I stopped in, as I will be doing more so in the future. read more

I go to this establishment every day since they opened. I have complained 4 times through this last year and this last time I complained they are now refusing my business. I always like to promote small businesses, but they need to learn how to treat people that give them daily orders with respect and know that if I am a regular, why is it so hard to have my drink correct, and they to no longer allow my business on their error is sad. I do not recommend this place. They are about the money, not to make a customer happy. read more

Service was lovely. Ample parking. A lovely little spot! I had an energy bite and it was so delicious!
