The drink I ordered was a bit too sweet for me. I’ve ordered flavored lattes before from here and enjoyed them more.I do appreciate the effort to offer a variety in flavors.

Great prices for great quality espresso! Friendly service, vibrant atmosphere - just wish there was more breathing room/a bit cooler (can get very crowded and hot).

Cute coffee shop with quality beverages and very yummy food options. The decor and vibe are cheerful. Staff are pleasant. Highly recommend. Plus, Kribi has an app for ordering ahead of time and gaining points that can be used across their locations.

Such a great cafe and coffee roaster right here in Oak Park and Forest Park. Great brews, especially their spiced chai! Definitely worth checking em out.
I’ve been coming here to study a few times since I move here and previously have only had good experiences until today…I went to sit downstairs as upstairs was mostly full and for 20 minutes the wifi would not work. I restarted my computer 3x, removed the network and readded the wifi and it still didn’t work so I went up to the counter to ask if it was possibly having issues since I couldn’t connect and before I could finish saying what I wanted to, the worker cut me off. She said that it was fine up there and it was because I was in the basement, I mentioned that maybe it was the wifi because it didn’t do that last time I went and sat in the basement however, she glared at me and so I said “never mind that’s okay” and went downstairs. When I came back up to try connecting to the wifi upstairs, I heard the one barista talking with another about what I said which I know was about me as I heard her say “she’s in the basement so obviously the Wi-Fi’s not gonna work it’s kinda common sense”. I turned to her and told her I was not trying to be rude or disrespectful by mentioning the wifi, I was merely asking. This barista then glared at me and fully turned around from me.It is important to note the first barista mentioned the router was up by the register. Even when moving right upstairs at a table right by the register, the wifi did not work on my laptop for another 15-20 minutes until 5-8 people left. I was going to ask if the wifi issue was possibly a bandwidth issue because even after it did connect, it was on and off spotty as there were more people. It was just a really weird and extremely rude experience that I don’t know if I’ll even go back i merely asked about the wifi, I didn’t even say anything suggesting it was anyone’s fault just asked a literal question and got treated like an incompetent person and people sitting also looked at me as the workers were very loudly talking about me like I was a Karen. It was honestly super embarrassing and just unnecessary idk to each their own but wow

I drove by this cafe on my way to work and decided to try it out, I wasn’t disappointed.I got a medium Mocha Fireside coffee which was richly flavorful without being overly sweet. The breakfast sandwich came piping hot and was fresh. Average pricing as Starbucks, but good regardless.

Coffee good, but I called ahead and asked to confirm if I could bring my dog in since this cafe came up in a dog friendly Cafe search. Spoke to a female employee over phone yesterday around 11 am who said I could. When I arrived I was told by a different employee he must be a service dog, which I understand, but I wouldn't have brought dog and had to tie up outside if I'd known.May want to train staff to be on same page about that.

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.

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!
