An Oak Park roaster sourcing green beans directly from farmers in Cameroon, where the owner is from. Air-roasted, single-origin, with a clear point of view.

Curator's Note

“Kribi has one of the clearest origin stories in the Chicago area — owner Jacques Shalo sources green beans directly from Cameroon, and the air-roasting setup gives the cups a distinct profile. Worth a trip even if you're not in Oak Park.”

The Cameroon single-origin is something you won't find at most shops. Distinct in the best way.

I love the soft blues music that is low in volume, the air conditioning is perfect (not frigid like some other places), the seating area is well spaced--soooo comfy and the coffee is great 😊

A charming coffee shop in a lovely neighborhood. Their coffee and baked goods are awesome, and the staff is super friendly.

First time here because it was recommended by a friend. Went in this morning around 8am. A nice young man took our oder he was great and repeated our order back to us. This is why I'm sad to leave two stars because of him. We sat to wait for our drinks, shortly after they were ready and I realized my drink didn't have the cold foam like it showed on the menu. I informed lady that made them about my drink missing the cold foam. She seemed upset by her attitude and said "you have to pay for that" I replied saying it came with it and I showed her the menu. Her reponse then was "well there's three drinks there I don't know which which one you were talking about" when I clearly had told her which one. She then grabbed my drink with attitude, took the lid off and dumped some of the coffee to make room for the cold foam. Again, this left a bad taste in my mouth. How can someone like her work with people and be so negative so early on the morning. It killed the vibe for sure all I wanted was coffee and was excited to try a new place. I don't think I'll be returning. Didn't like her vibe and I don't want someone like her making my drink.

incredibly organized and well managed stores with friendly service and outstanding coffee and food. what makes Kribi stand out far above the others is the incredibly detailed ordering app where you can order exactly what you want. Never have to wait in line and just pick it up.

I used to walk to this place every morning that they knew my order. I LOVEEEE their coffee it tastes so rich and creamy and full of flavor. In my opinion so much better than starbucks for what you're paying. Im hoping they bring back my white mocha frappe soon 😭
