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.

This is the perfect spot to grab a coffee and breakfast sandwich! They make a great hot latte and love the specialty coffee selections. If you're in a hurry I wouldn't recommend the breakfast sandwich because it can take a little bit of time for them to make. The staff is always nice and helpful as well!

Coffee and breakfast foods were tasty, with lots of options and dietary modifications available. Staff were always friendly and helpful. I appreciated that they open earlier than a few of the other nearby spots that offer coffee/pastries.

Wouldn’t go if you’re a matcha lover. I ordered a Mexican hot chocolate and it tasted nothing like it, barely warm, and not even filled up all the way. I also got a breakfast sandwich that had bacon when I asked for sausage and it was burnt and I could barely chew it. I hate to leave a bad review but I truly just wasted money.

I went there today to get a flavored latte and was very pleasantly surprised that I could actually taste the espresso in it; it's such a rare occurrence but to me it's the mark of a good latte. The staff are also very friendly there. Highly recommend for coffee lovers.
