Kapéj Coffee Roasters — Restaurant in Chicago

If you're looking for a coffee shop that delivers on all fronts, this is the place to be. The atmosphere is welcoming and cozy, making it perfect for both a relaxed morning coffee or a productive work session. The decor strikes a perfect balance between eclectic and homey comfort with various Chicago-based artists creating a space that feels both stylish and inviting.

The food here is as impressive as the coffee. Whether you're in the mood for a light snack or a hearty meal, the menu offers a variety of options that are both delicious and thoughtfully prepared.

But the real standout is the coffee. It’s evident that a lot of care goes into sourcing and brewing the beans. Whether you prefer a classic espresso or a more elaborate concoction, the coffee here is exceptional. I went for the classic latte and it did not disappoint. Some coffee shops get it wrong here always overpowering the espresso with milk but this latte was chef’s kiss

Overall, this coffee shop combines a fantastic atmosphere with great food and coffee, making it a must-visit for any coffee enthusiast or casual café-goer (and someone not looking to break the bank). Will definitely be...

This is an excellent coffee shop and provides the three fundamentals for any great coffee house: great ambiance, great coffee, and strong wi-fi. While the fundamentals are taken care of, this place also provides with a decent selection of baked goods and good food.

Old Town in general is becoming a little less quaint every year with the development of modern glass and steel structures. While I have no problems with progress, I still need to occasionally withdraw into a classic Chicago structure with the warmth and architectural features that make Old Town a Chicago gem. The leather chairs, fireplace, oriental rugs, and exposed brick at Kapéj do just that.

There are plenty of utilitarian coffee shops I can go to get my work done, and I do go to those places when I need to do that. But when I need to engross myself in reading or need to squirrel myself away to write without hearing the drone of other people getting through their caffeinated days, there are exceedingly few places left in the city to do that. Kapéj is one of the last...

First time here today with my daughter. We walked over from our home in Old Town area so nice to be so close to us. We ordered some food - sandwiches, coffee and some drinks. The food was very tasty and served quickly. Amazing selection of coffee from all over the world too. The atmosphere is very relaxed - almost like sitting in the living room of a very nice home - complete with fireplace. and book case! It was nice to be able to sit down without feeling like we were an inconvenience to the establishment and rushed out the door. I know there is a health crisis going on - but a nearby Coffee / Sandwich place in New City /Lincoln Park area that just opened put us through too many checks just to sit down at the three or four uncomfortable tables that were available. Will not do that again. Kapej is clearly a hidden gem located just steps from the Sedgwick Brownline stop. If you live in Lincoln Park, Old Town, Near Northside - or even if you are further out - its well worth the trip. Places like this are not found too often -...
