The friendly counter staff shared how the owners' New Orleans heritage and North African roots influence the menu, adding thoughtful cultural depth to the experience. We ordered the Lamb Barbacoa tacos and the Jerk Cauliflower tacos. The lamb was savory and delicious, while the jerk cauliflower was far too spicy for us to manage more than a single bite. The fried chicken and lamb smashburger sound like excellent options for our next visit.

The next thing I noticed was the smell coming from the kitchen, the food smelled so good! The lady behind the counter greeted us immediately with a smile, and offered us aguas Fresca samples. They were delicious btw. Now, to the food. We got the lamb carnitas plate, the chicken carnita tacos & spicy beef empanadas, fried chicken torta, hot donuts and the brownie cookie. That cookie was so damn good, I don't know how they got it to actually taste like a brownie but I love brownies, so A+ for that and the hot donuts! The tacos were my least favorite, because they were too sweet for my liking. & the fried chicken torta unfortunately didn't travel well. But it was still tasty. The lamb carnitas plate was soooooo good and I don't know what they did to those beans but they were soooooo goooood. They had turkey in them too which was a really nice touch! Only thing is I wish it had more meat. Overall we'll see you guys again, lol 9/10!

Stopped into Khepri Cafe when in the area over the weekend. They had some great latte flavor…read moreoptions that I haven't seen before. They use local coffee beans (Hexe Coffee) and chai concentrate (Freeman House Chai). They have a small merchandise section by the ordering counter and then a seating section on the other side. I ordered the Rosemary Juniper Latte which was earthy in a positive way. The drink was not sweet by any means and reminded me of a coffee version of gin. My husband got the Chai Latte which was well balanced but leaned slightly to the spiced side over sweet. Both drinks at 16oz came to $13 which I thought was fair. Overall, I enjoyed my experience here!

They have a lot of vegan options, as well as CBD drinks and other things such as bitters, cook books and mugs and candles. the baristas working were very sweet, i always appreciate when they don't rush you as you look at the menu. I got a cold brew and my partner got a matcha. The matcha was very bitter and watered down unfortunately, but the cold brew was refreshing. they pride themselves in using local ingredients and products, so the beans were from Hexe coffee. I would come back, especially if i'm getting off the train right there. I'll make sure to try their specialty lattes next time.

you gotta get the cauliflower !!!…read more we made a reservation for friday night and it was pretty busy so i assume it was needed. very elegant casual place. skinny wine stems but flavorful and good portioned food. the cauliflower was the favorite. the whipped ricotta i could've loaded on more because there was so much in the jar! we also got the what bucatini but it was very wheat forward (i know that sounds silly but) i would suggest a different pasta dish . great dishes staff and ambiance !

This was my first time at this restaurant, and it was a pleasant experience. The ambiance on the…read morepatio was lovely and the staff was attentive and friendly without being pushy. My son and his girlfriend have been there many times, and insisted we get the whipped ricotta appetizer and kale salad. Both of these items were top notch, as were the cocktails and we enjoyed. The pasta bolognese that the ladies ordered was delicious. My son had the burger and fries, and it was fine, just not very special. I ordered the "half" chicken, thinking as a bird themed restaurant, the only poultry entree would be a star, but that was not the case. A small thigh and half of a breast was their interpretation of a half chicken, and this was noted on the menu, but the portion was disappointing. The dish was supposed to to be accompanied by polenta with trumpet mushrooms, but two paltry slices of mushroom with a small smear of polenta completed the dish which "artfully" only occupied the left half of the plate, leaving the rest of the plate bare. Small portions aside, the dish was overly salty, to the point I had dry mouth the rest of the night, and the chicken was overcooked. The taste was fine, and the little bit of polenta added enough moisture to make the dish work. The worst thing was the incredibly dull dinner knife that couldn't cut through the mushroom, let alone the chicken, causing me to apply the stab and pull/tear method to get bite sized pieces. Everything thing else was superb. I would go back for the cocktails and appetizers, perhaps grazing the appetizers and a salad as a dinner. The pastas all looked terrific, but I will probably steer clear of the four mains on the menu, as they seem to be the least inspired items to order.

Last time I was there in spring 2026, the empanadas were a bit cold and lacked flavor. My wife had a sandwich and that was pretty decent. They were definitely busy, but I do feel the waitress had an opportunity to be a bit more hopeful. The patio outside adds to the uniqueness.

Recently this truck did an event at my work. Wasn't…read moreimpressed to say the least. It was basic breakfast sandwich Eggs Choice of meat (sausage, turkey sausage, bacon) Cheese Hashbrowns were on offer but were NOT ready with the other items and took forever to cook, so nobody got any. What I saw coming out was underdone and burnt. What was coming out was mediocre, undercooked and not worth waiting 30-40 minutes in the hot sun. The truck itself was...a mess. Old, didn't look super clean and everything seemed to be running on a single burner camper type stove. The big negative was the service. The truck was well over two hours late, wasn't ready when they arrived and over the course of an hour and a half, they must have taken 3 smoke breaks. Look, it's hot out so it's gotta be a literal oven in that little truck. But with a three person crew, maybe take breaks in stages so the line keeps moving. Food itself was nothing special. All of it was stuff from Costco (Idahoan hash browns, frozen sausage patties, liquid egg, etc.) heated up so I'm not sure what the slow in service was but I wouldn't recommend them again.

I'm not sure what Ryan M.'s talking about because that hot chicken sandwich was AMAZING!…read more Perfect amount of spice, the bun held up, still crispy by the time I got it home ( I was late picking up). You can order on the iPads in the lobby if you want to make sure all your money is going to Chesa. She also has responsible packaging, with no styrofoam in sight! We also had the catfish sandwich which was delicious too. I can't wait to come back and try something new, if I can get away from the hot chicken! I'm so happy to have found a place with gluten free options like hot chicken and fried fish. It's been years since I've been able to order that kind of stuff.

There are no menus distributed, so you have to scan and navigate their website on your own. It doesn't immediately take you to the brunch menu, so you have to look for it. My toasts were fine, nothing remarkable. My husband ordered the Breakfast Burrito ($19). Texture-wise, the burrito ended up being too wet - maybe from the kale? The rosemary potatoes it comes with were delicious though. All told, it's a bit pricey for the quality of the food.

Our server Lara was fun to chat with, and she was very helpful sharing her favorites and suggestions. Nice selection of beers, including Hopewell from across the street, and THC infused drinks. 3 cheese lasagna was classic with delicious sauce. My wife had the Spaghetti o's which was great with clever presentation, but over salty, even for her who salts everything. She said she would not get it again. The focaccia was good, but the honey whipped butter stole the show. Ravioli (sweet corn, polenta, goat cheese and ricotta with candied jalapeño) was unique, tasty and tender with fresh pasta. The decor and artwork are old school, kinda English pub like. We will be back!
