    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

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

    Power Bowl Salad
    Tanya M.

    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.

    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 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!

That brownie I had was delicious and actually satisfying for a sweet tooth like me! The rose latte was enjoyable and once again, they had gluten-free bread to offer for the sandwiches/paninis. Not only that, they are actually a dollar less than the regular one because they say it's smaller. Less - you read that right. Anywhere else they up-charge for the gluten-free version, even if it's just frozen Udi's. It wasn't so here! Note: their savory stuffed pastries like the spinach ones and potato ones aren't gluten-free because they're brought in by another vendor.

My boyfriend got to share his joy and knowledge of coffee and get a behind the scenes look at how they do what they do. Thank you, Milli by Metric! We truly can't wait to come back!

The aïoli was so delicious. I kept it for the rest of my meal as it being sauce. 4/5 American breakfast with egg whites. Egg whites were slightly runny, but good portion. The bacon was crispy and slightly sweet. Super yummy. Crispy potatoes were like a deep fried large country potato. Good with the aïoli, but I didn't eat too much. 4/5 petite potato, American style.
