“My husband and I were really hungry and just looking for a quick bite near our hotel and so glad we stumbled upon this place! We got the breakfast sandwich and the roasted veggie melt on a croissant — both were amazing. No fancy ingredients but the flavours were just really good. We also had the fennel and citrus salad and it was so fresh and light, really enjoyed it. Definitely recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!”
“I got the juniper and rosemary latte, it’s a new favorite!! I would describe it as winter in a mug”
“Absolutely phenomenal coffee shop! Large and diverse food and beverage menu, kind people, cozy and vibrant atmosphere, and conveniently located right next to the Kedzie Brown Line station. Strongly recommend stopping by! You won’t regret it.”
“Sleek coffee shop right next to the brown line. Has a nice variety of sandwiches, toast, pastries and specialty drinks. Shop has a nice selection of art and merch for sale, more than you'd see at other cafés. Everything we got was solid, even found a nice glass that we picked up. Worth taking the trek out to try the different toasts 🤤”
“Kherpi Café is a snug and cozy cafe with a solid coffee selection and locally made crafts. The baristas are super friendly, and the space is quite spacious with plenty of tables that are great hanging out or getting work done.”
“I hate throwing things away but I did this time but the coffee tastes like gas station coffee. The pastries tasted old. The Croissant was hard and the chocolate inside tasted like an old chocolate bar that was left out too long.”
“This is one of the best cafes I've ever been to, not only is the vibe here amazing, but so is the food. When I was here, I ate a grilled cheese and a coffee, and let me tell you that both the food, and the drink were amazing! Not only did it come out super fast, but the cheese quality was amazing, the bread was perfectly toasted, and the cheese pull was gooey, and satisfying. The coffee was warm, rich, and very natural, which made the drink feel like I was tasting coffee straight from the source. Brown line trains run by the coffee shop all the time creating an amazing, very chill vibe, and the seating options, and decoration add to that affect too! If you are by this cafe, it would be a crime to not go here, I wouldn't wish it upon my worst enemy to miss out on the opportunity of missing out on the pure goodness and vibe if this place. So you better go here, or you will be missing out on literally, the BEST experience of your lifetime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“Haven’t had any of their food items, but their lattes are v yummy.”
