    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.

    AOC - chili in my latte!
    DD P.

    Very chill spot to spend an afternoon. Love the AOC! I've never seen catenne in coffee on a menu before and was excited to try. Honestly, the cayenne flavor wassnt that strong and it tastes almost like a sweet latte.

    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

    Power Bowl Salad

    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.

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

    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

    "The AOC"
    J S.

    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.

    Nut butter toast.

    Khepri Cafe is a delightful, bright, relaxing coffee shop with a small but mighty vegan menu. Khepri Cafe is located immediately adjacent to the Kedzie Brown Line stop. It's a peaceful oasis amidst all the craziness of the businesses that line Kedzie. I didn't even hear the El going by. I especially appreciated the food at Khepri because I stick to a vegan diet. A lot of places may have one vegan selection -- usually just a slab of tofu on bread -- and that is not only totally unsatisfying, but lazy. Khepri had a few selections and, according to the menu board, will substitute Just Egg and vegan cheese if requested. Of course, there are also menu items for the vegetarians and carnivores, but since I don't eat those, I can't describe them for you. On recent visits, I've had the smashed chickpea sandwich, nut butter toast, and the roasted veggie press sandwich. You order at the counter, and someone brings the food to your table. The sandwiches are served on a real plate, with real silverware -- no plastic. Little details like this elevates a meal, just a little. It shows that the kitchen cares about presentation and about the customer's dining experience. All plusses to me, and they certainly make a simple meal a little more special. The lunch sandwiches come with a side. I had chips once, and a side salad another time. The nut butter toast is a breakfast sandwich, and does not come with a side. There are vegan baked goods as well. I took a trail mix scone for the road and had it with my morning coffee the following day. It was really good. The oat milks lattes are good, too. Prices are reasonable. The lunch sandwiches came in just under $10, and the nut butter toast was, I think, $6.75. Khepri Cafe is a good place to eat, hang out, and visit with friends. I will definitely return, and I encourage all of you to try some of the vegan items. You won't regret it!

    I stopped by Oromo one afternoon for a quick pick-me-up. The woman working the register was so…read moresweet and welcoming. I asked her for some recommendations and she suggested one of the frozen drinks. I'm so glad she did because I have been craving it ever since! They have a few frozen drinks to choose from, but I went with the cold brew + hazelnut truffle. It's made with housemade hazelnut milk, cold brew, cacao, frozen bananas, housemade coconut caramel, maple syrup, vanilla, and seasalt. Trust me-- it is just as heavenly as it sounds! I forgot to get photos of it because I drank it so quickly--sorry! The space is so cute inside and it's in a fun area to wander around, right in the heart of Lincoln Square. Can't wait to come back!

    I wanted to love Oromo Cafe. I popped in for lunch during a visit to Lincoln Square, primarily…read morebecause the menu sounded fabulous - so many plant based options, including house-made milks. Unfortunately the menu overpromises and the food underdelivers, at least that day. -Lentil soup: good flavor, but very watery, more like broth than soup. The amount of soup barely reached a third of the way up the bowl, and the price of $7 for the bowl size was candidly just not worth it. -Beet hummus sandwich: again, good flavor, but I was anticipating a sandwich (as per menu description). What was presented was a single piece of naan spread with a thin layer of beet hummus, scattered with a few toppings. For $13 my expectations were higher. The beet hummus was delicious; with the goal of recreating this at home I asked a member of the staff about the ingredients. Unfortunately rather than saying, "I'm not sure, but let me check," they responded with "I don't know. I just started and I don't know most of the menu items." There is a lot of fabulous food in Chicago. Although Oromo Cafe is fine, I recommend saving ones dining experience and money for something truly fabulous.
