Kribi Coffee Albion - Oak Park

As an OP resident, I love kribi. I support small businesses, I’m a coffee guy and kribi’s Mt Oku is a FINE coffee. However, it is my opinion that every coffee roaster should have a way to try the different coffees they roast. That to-go cup of coffee is your advertisement for the types of different coffees you offer. Like many modern coffee guys who lived through the Starbucks dark roast craze of the 90’s and 2000’s, I’m now a lover of fruity, floral and complex tastes. That is what Mt Oku is not; however Kribi’s Lliac Roller is advertised as just that. Why is there no way to try a pour over cup or a rotating daily drip of thier offerings? It is enough of a let down that I often will go out of my way to Whirlwind just to get some variation. I hope this will change.

I love this place, great atmosphere, friendly and welcoming staff (Jessica is the sweetest), coffee and bagels

I ordered the seasonal pumpkin cold brew and found the pumpkin flavor to be underwhelming. The amount of caffeine in this drink also made me want to jump out of my skin. While I understand that this is to be expected with cold brew, it was way stronger than I am used to.

The hot chocolate was good although it could be have been a tad sweeter, and I loved their pain au chocolate. Nice vibes inside and my daughter loved the decorations.

Amazing coffee! The staff is always helpful nice! Alternatives available. They often air roast coffee beans in house, which is very cool. Lots of seasonal and fun drinks. The bagel breakfast sandwiches are 10/10. I have visited all of the locations and they are all great!
