    I was so pleasantly surprised to find Khepri Cafe -- and RIGHT next to the Kedzie brown line stop makes it the perfect place to grab a coffee before hopping on the train! My favorite thing I ordered here was the regular breakfast sandwich. It was DELISH so gooooood. It had a sauce that made it a bit more unique than a basic breakfast sammie, and I really liked it! Admittedly, the cinnamon roll muffin thing was kind of dry/bland, was missing the gooey cinnamon filling but the frosting was good. I maybe ate about half of it. There's also tons of stuff to look at while you wait - they sell all kinds of fun home goods, accessories, and little snacks/treats including CBD chocolate! Definitely will be back!

    Great service and wide range of food and drink selection. I got the London fog ice coffee and it was delicious. Right next to the train stop of Kazie . So it was very convenient.

    Tried sweet potato soup! Amazing. Best soup ever. I will try it again. Keep making it!

    A café interior features wooden tables and chairs, artwork on the walls, and large windows allowing natural light to enter.

    I'm so upset that it took me so long to go here after being seeing it for years! Khepri is so cute and welcoming, a great place to meet some friends for coffee or catch up on some work. They have fun season menu items that often includes a house made component, lately I've been loving the brown sugar maple latte! There's food and drinks and staff is all so nice! Cant wait to write my next essay here

    Delicious salad. I probably could've gotten an additional egg on top. But it was so good. I went there to do work but was so focused on my food that I didn't get anything done. It's so conveniently located near the Brown line.

    "The AOC"

    LOVE this place! It's hidden on Kedzie, west of where the brown line crosses the street. I'm always looking for new places to work remotely and this has quickly become my favorite spot. The staff are super cool, friendly, and helpful. I ordered "The AOC" just to be silly, TBH, and it was one of the best handcrafted drinks I've ever had in my life. I've not tried any other drink yet, because all I can think about is that drink when I'm on the way there. I love that they serve all their drinks is actual mugs (even for 16oz drinks), not throw away paper cups. I've also had the breakfast sandwich and my wife the blueberry whipped feta toast, which she loved. The wifi is strong and the atmosphere is great. Pro Tip: Parking is free and non-permitted a block away on Leland.

    Shelving units with skincare items, plants, and decorative objects are positioned inside Khepri Cafe, near a window with a brown shade.

    I love cafes like the Khepri Cafe! This newer addition to the Albany Park 'hood has a bakery, various drinks, sandwiches & paninis, toast, salads, soups, and CBD items. We came here for an early lunch, and ordered: +the Michelle Obama - made with orange blossom, rosemary, pepper, and espresso +the A.O.C. - made with cajeta, cinnamon, cayenne, and espresso +a Mushroom Melt - with smoked portobello, cashew pesto spread, havarti, and roasted red peppers on a sourdough +a Roasted Veggie Press - with red onions, roasted red peppers, squash, spinach, mint, dijon, and tahini vinaigrette on a seeded rye There were plenty of seating options with colorful chairs and sofas, and some counter seating. Staff were friendly, and the place gave a relaxing vibe. It was also bright and cheery, and I really liked their decor. I'd love to try out their smoothies and the rest of their sandwich menu. Residential street parking can be found around the area. +look for specials on the board +friendly staff +located by the Kedzie stop +residential street parking available

    Nut butter toast.

    See all

    Sipping Turtle Cafe was truly just a mediocre experience. I visited the coffee shop around 10 am on…read morea Thursday with a friend and there were only 3 other customers inside. The shop is sparsely decorated but seems to be a real staple in the community, which felt special to visit as an outsider. My friend and I both ordered egg and goat cheese bagel sandwiches. I ordered an iced lavender matcha and my friend ordered a cappuccino. The sandwiches were made with boiled eggs, which felt extremely odd. The egg type was not clarified on the menu, but I feel like for a breakfast sandwich to include a boiled egg instead of a traditional fried or scrambled egg, that should be disclosed to customers with some sort of expectations. My friend said the cappuccino was "just like every other cappuccino I've ever had." The lavender matcha really just tasted like a regular matcha. It was good but not much lavender flavor! Our food also took a bit to come out, despite the coffee shop being empty (only one other person already dining when we came in) and what we ordered. It looked like there were only two workers. I personally wouldn't visit Sipping Turtle Cafe again, unfortunately. There are a lot of other great options around that satisfy me more.

After seeing plenty of Milli by Metric social media buzz...we knew this one was going to pass the vibe test! Street parking in the neighborhood nearby! This space is everything I adore...mood lighting, exposed brick, community seating, and modern design touches. This is the perfect spot to grab a coffee and get some serious work done. The staff was friendly and welcoming! We ordered a Cortado and their season special, the Strawberry Thyme Latte. The Cortado had lovely flavor from the espresso and just enough creamy milk. The Strawberry Thyme Latte was a subtly fruity, with just a hint of herbaceousness that really elevated the drink. Top notch spot and very glad we chose this one!

    3.5 stars. Hard to give this rating but here are the issues…read more It's way too expensive. $5 for an espresso. $4.5 for a small drip coffee. Specialty drinks in the $8.5 and up range. Pastry's, that while are delicious, are also really more expensive than most other coffee spots and are not that big. Thy are really slow. If you walk in and there is a line that stretches to the door, which is maybe 10 to 15 people, expect to wait 15 to 20 minutes to o place your order and then another 5 to 10 minutes to get your food and drinks (unless it's a drip). I've walked in an walked out before because of that line. Seating and parking. Parking is obviously out of their control trial, but there is super limited parking in the area and it's really hard to find a spot. Your best bet is walking or riding there. As for the seating, it seems like there is plenty of seating but people camp out there with computers for long time and even at random times it's been really tough to find a spot. Lastly, their bags of coffee are really expensive. I know they consider themselves top of their market, but unless you are an occasional coffee drinker or just have that much money to burn, you can't drink their coffee daily. They sell 2 pound bag for $49. The place is stunning though. I hope their take out window opens eventually and maybe they can light a fire under their staffs ass to speed up. Something helpful also might be to put the menu by the door and maybe out the pastry display in the middle section so by the time the people get to the counter they know what they are ordering. Good luck to this business. There is t a ton over there, but these issues are going to prevent me from going regularly.

There was already a small line of guests with the same idea, but we were able to get on the waitlist. While waiting, we checked out the small coffee shop inside the gallery and browsed the furniture, which helped pass the time. Our wait was about an hour before being escorted to our table in the courtyard. Initially, we were placed at a low coffee table with couch seating. It's a cool lounge style setup, especially for drinks, but not ideal for a meal. It would have been pretty awkward trying to eat comfortably. We asked to be moved and were told that table preferences should be requested when joining the waitlist. Since it was my first time visiting, I wasn't aware of that, and it also wasn't asked by the hostess. Thankfully, they were able to accommodate us and moved us to a table in the wine cellar. The wine cellar had a completely different vibe, dark and moody, compared to the bright, airy courtyard with its beautiful glass ceiling and natural light. We ordered the lobster roll and the RH Burger, both with fries. The food came out fairly quickly and was well-presented. The lobster roll was served on a buttery brioche with just the right amount of seasoning, and the burger was juicy and flavorful. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely visit again.
