Kapéj Coffee

Based on the reviews, I stopped in while visiting. To my surprise and delight, they have pour over. The owner recommended a bean and then did a fresh grind and took time to do the pour right. Delicious, exactly what I wanted. Relaxing in the cozy ‘library’ setting, I was transported back to my 80’s college years, which is a good thing.

This place is perfect... Nice location in Chicago
Great coffee and staff. The decor fits the historical city area. Food was amazing too.
They also serve smoothies teas and iced drinks.
I'm stopping there first when in the city again.

Was in town and needed a place to work for the afternoon so I took a gamble and tried this place. If I lived here, I'd probably make this my safe haven, for when my reclusive-soul craves human interaction but doesn't want to be overwhelmed by a "busy" coffee shop. It feels familiar, like a family or friends made happy memories here and the vibe still remains.

If I'm ever in the area again, I'd make a point to stop back.

love this coffee place. I got the vanilla latte and egg cheese sausage croissant and it was 10/10. owner is super nice and welcoming. love to see it!

Love the art on his walls is for sale! What a great way to showcase talent! Knowledgeable regarding his products recommended a great drink and the food was fresh and tasty. I will definitely be coming back for breakfast every time I am in town

The chocolate muffin was TO DIE FOR. Great coffee and matcha and the space itself has chairs aplenty perfect for work, study, or a chat with friends.

My order came through real quick too despite only one person manning the counter.

All in all great spot. Worth the walk from downtown.

Comfy, delicious smelling, coffee shop with so many options.
Here are the December holiday hours for 2021

Good coffee, lots of seating and Wi-Fi, and beautiful lamps! Definitely coming back.

I really love the coffee. I want to come more often but it’s really hard to get in and out if you have a stroller. The owner is super nice and the female employee as well. Definitely recommend this place !

A friend and I went in this morning at around 8 AM with the intent of purchasing baked goods. I was recommended by various coworkers (I work in the neighborhood) to check this place out. As I was waiting to be serviced, the person working at the time, while he was busy making drinks, says to us, “No outside drinks are allowed. It’s like bringing a 6-pack to a bar.”

First of all, there is ZERO MENTION outside of the cafe that outside drinks were not allowed. If that was the case, we would have not entered.

Secondly, we came in there just buy baked goods because we were told by people in our circle how delicious the place was and then be on our way.

Needless to say, we will not be returning to this cafe. What a massive letdown to be treated this way and as someone who works in customer service (10+ years and counting) this is not the way to talk/treat potential customers.
