This was my favorite kind of find- friendly and knowledgeable. The barista asked our flavor profiles and match both of us with coffees we enjoyed. They roast their own beans and take a lot of pride in their product. read more

Downtown Forest Park...Great service. Minority owned. Friendly inclusive staff. Inviting. Maybe like 5 tables of seating area but there is a down stairs lounge. Three door entries for accessibility. If this place was crowded it would be tighter. I always order drip coffee and today was no different except I had a wait a couple of minutes for light roast which was fine. The coffee is tasty but not the best that I've ever had. I didn't like that I had to move the medium sized bathroom garbage can to shut the door as they were using it as a stopper. But the bathroom is gender neutral and very clean. Quiet and clearly friendly environment. Street metered parking but not expensive. I worked return here because of the seating and historic window vibe. The one in downtown oak Park is kinda tucked away but the outside tables in nice weather is a vibe. read more

I like their coffee and buy it at Pete's. It's our go to coffee at home. But coming here's not so fun in that the people who work the cash register come across as really not liking their jobs or their customers. When I do stop by I remember this is why I come so rarely. read more

We had oat milk matcha teas; mine with strawberry syrup. They were yummy and the perfect temperature. We also had breakfast sandwiches which for an upcharge we had made vegan. English muffin with vegan sausage, vegan Gouda, and vegan egg. It was super hot in temperature; would definitely hold up for a ride. It was delicious. I will be back back for the sandwich for sure. read more

For me, the main positive was an incredible buttermilk old fashioned donut. My cup of coffee was fine but ordinary. The street level space is tiny with very limited seating and limited high tops for standing. If there was any attractiveness to the ambiance, I didn't notice while I worried about getting a seat. There's a large space downstairs that was well lit and spacious but uninteresting due to being subterranean in an otherwise lovely little city. There's enough space for small groups to meet up and talk. It was very quiet. read more

Amazing coffee and service. I love this place. All of the baristas are top notch. The best there is. I started coming here about 4 years ago when I was the store mgr of bed bath and beyond (tear) but yes they are amazing. read more

What a great coffee shop! Quick friendly service. Excellent breakfast sandwiches too! Reasonable prices... give it a try!! read more

Great local coffee place. Ordered an iced coffee and the quality of the drink was excellent. Nice seating inside and small seating spaces outside. Very clean gender neutral washroom. Staff are friendly and turned my order around quickly. Highly recommend. read more

Love their Kribi Macchiato and Matcha Lattes. I especially love getting the matcha because they source it from the tea shop across the street (Todd & Holland), so it feels like you're supporting two local businesses in one drink! I'm not a huge fan of the drip coffee, but then again I prefer espresso or cold brew drinks more. I enjoy dropping by in the mornings for a breakfast sandwich, especially last year when they had a breakfast sandwich combo. Monday and Thursday specials are an amazing motivation to head over. They even had a week where any drink was $2 if you brought your own cup. Keep an eye out for great deals and fun ways to support your local business. read more

The coffee shop has the wonderful smell of fresh roasted beans which they should totally charge admission for, because that is a wonderful smell. The light roast has a clean roasted taste and fruity finish and the vanilla latte is beautifully foamy with a fresh vanilla bean flavor. I'll be thinking about both of those until I go back. They have a delightful option of bagels, scones and donuts. It was hard to decide. The everything bagel from Onion Roll had a nice crispy outside and chew to it and the Denver Scone is best heated but tasty. read more

Excellent small speciality coffee and pastry cafe just South of the main streets of Oak Park. I got the more exotic sounding blend of which I asked about the origins and they weren't quite clear, but that wasn't as important as to how it tasted. I took a sit for a few minutes in their nice sunny small storefront and enjoyed the local vibe, with street art panels outside, before heading out for my day. Lovely little place, if I lived nearly I would support it regularly. read more

Lemonade is delicious! Great place for a coffee too! The breakfast sandwiches are very good.

This place is amazing. I've liked the coffees I've gotten every time. We even got a smoothie once and it was really good. I love getting their breakfast sandwiches on a bagel. They have fresh bagels. I like that they offer vegan meat and cheese. They also have a really great selection of donuts. We've gotten their wraps from the fridge that are prepared by White Oak (I believe). These are really great for a snack or light lunch. There's a lot of seating here. I've seen a lot of people working on their laptops, so I assume their wifi is pretty good too! read more

I had heard of Kribi quite a few times but never got a chance to visit since I do not live nearby. My parents and I were in the area for a doctor's appointment and decided to stop by. My go to drink whenever I am checking out a coffee shop for the first time is an iced vanilla latte made with oat milk. The one at Kribi is solid - the vanilla flavor does not taste artificial and the espresso itself is strong and smooth. My dad ordered an iced hazelnut latte made with whole milk and said it was one of the best hazelnut lattes he'd ever tried. My mom ordered a regular hot coffee with cream. She said it was very good and not too strong. Kribi has a wide selection of baked goods and the bonjour bakery morning roll caught our attention. We ordered one to share and instantly regretted it. My mom went back to the counter and ordered three more to take home! The bonjour morning roll is layers of laminated dough filled with sugar. The pastry is flaky and pillowy at the same time. Definitely order one with your coffee! The people at the counter were so welcoming and friendly. The space itself is quite nice with ample seating and colorful decor. Kribi is a coffee gem in downtown Forest Park! read more

I stopped to treat myself while I had a few hours without kids and it was great! The coffee is smooth and flavorful (not watery!) and the gluten free muffin was separately wrapped. The muffin tasted almost like cake but still had a good crumb. read more

My family has loved walking here every weekend for the do-rite donuts, our favorite. Worried they just got a new donut vendor, which we don't care for. This will definitely change our weekend plans with kribi. huge bummer. We've lived in FP for 3 years now and this spot has been a highlight. Hope the vendor change is not permanent! read more

Outstanding service! Gabby and I believe her name is Dora(I apologize if I got her name wrong), are always friendly and absolute gems. Gabby's barista hands are blessed; she has never made a bad drink. I can not praise those two enough! read more

I was admonished for using the restroom - a dealbreaker for healthcare practitioners like me who spend all day driving around delivering in-home care with limited access to facilities. If not for that, I'd go back for good coffee and baked goods from West Town. read more

Cute little coffee shop neighborhood in downtown Forest Park. The nice and colorful outside art work will entice you to come inside. Little outside patio where you can sit out and enjoy some fresh air. There is also seating areas inside. Comfy couch. I received a 20% coupon in the mail a few weeks. The first visit coming here was very pleasant. I was greeted with bright smiles at 7:00AM that's a plus these days. I ordered a small hot lavender latte and a plain bagel with cream cheese. The prices are kind of on the high side. A plain bagel (the only bagel they sale) was $3.50. My lavender latte was so good. Good Service and Delicious lavender latte made my morning even better. FYI Happy Hours on Monday's (half price on drinks from 2pm-4pm. Also, you get a double punch on your drink loyalty card all day on Thursday. read more

I don't like coffee but my boyfriend wanted to try the coffee and we had been out walking so I needed some refreshment. He ordered a Latte and I ordered lemonade. My 8 ounce $3.50 drink tasted like they put a cut lemon next to a cup of ice water and decided to call it lemonade. My boyfriend said his latte was okay but nothing special. We won't be back. read more

Stopped by again for a cup of coffee and a bite to eat before work and I was once again left very satisfied. I opted to get a kougin amann, which the nice lady behind the bar described as a pastry similar to a croissant, but with brown sugar instead of butter. And...boy...oh boy, was that frickin' amazing. It's a wonderful French pastry with sugared, buttered, laminated dough that's part croissant and part sticky bun. Absolutely delicious warmed up and I may or may not have inhaled it. I'm pretty simple when it comes to coffee and really enjoy their black coffee. I love the little sample bags they have of their roasted beans at the end of the bar! I was actually wanting to purchase a bag, but wasn't sure which one, so the free sample was a great surprise. Don't forget to pick up a punch card for drinks or coffee bean bags! read more

Possibly the smoothest vanilla latte I've had. It would be very easy to gulp and miss it. Added bonus was the great little cookie. They also have gelato & other treats. read more

I never get to come in because the hours don't mesh with my schedule. I saw today the new summer hours and I was SUPER excited to come in. I walked in. There was one employee talking to someone. Idk if it was a customer. There was a girl cleaning behind the counter. I wasn't greeted. I stood looking at the menu for a couple minutes. The person behind the counter still never looked up to even acknowledge me. I'll just assume it's because I'm black. I walked out. I won't be returning. I'll continue to go to the Starbucks across the street where they actually offer customer service. 0/10 I do NOT recommend read more

One of the only spots around that makes a good(not passable, but good) matcha latte, a cappuccino that doesn't just taste like hot milk, and a strong espresso. The donut was okay, but that's really not what you're going there for. Glad to have them around and looking forward to their continued support of my caffeine addiction. read more

Good service, excellent roasted coffee. Lovely atmosphere for relaxing. I enjoy the drip and the croissant and other pastries here.

This place is great. Exactly what I was looking for. I was visiting from California and needed my single origin fix. Everything about this experience was on point. Good customer service. Music wasn't too loud. Lots of seating. And the coffee was great. Very cool to try a different roasting technique. I bought a bag to take home. read more

This little coffee shop is a gem. Whereas big starbox coffee retailers stop selling pumpkin lattes before thanksgiving, Kribi recognizes that it's actually still fall, y'all. This pumpkin pie latte with oat milk is delicious. I got a recommendation from the barista in their favorite roasted beans, and I'm looking forward to grinding/brewing these Calypso beans tomorrow morning. read more

Enjoyed this really cozy local cafe. Just picked up something quick and on the go! Ice chai tea latte with whip cream was just right. Not too sweet which I like. The blueberry muffin was soft, light, and tasty! It was nice and warm and just enough blueberries in it. Staff are very friendly. Tables outside and inside whichever you prefer. They have wifi for you to connect to for personal or business use. Also notice the phone chargers station! That's awesome! Street parking is available but don't forget to pay! read more

Service is worse than poor. We were told our plain coffee (nothing fancy) would be brought to us. Ten minutes later, we asked a staff member about it and she said "sorry, no understand.". OMG you have people taking orders and money that don't speak rudimentary English? We asked at the counter and nobody had a clue about our order. They shrugged and provided the coffee. I bought a HALF FILLED 12 ounce plastic cup of yogurt and fruit from the cooler. No prices on any of those items. It was over SIX DOLLARS before tax! Are you kidding me? This was my second and last visit. The coffee was meh. read more
