Three generations. One dream that refused to quit. Everything we build, we build for them. Happy Father’s Day from the Kribi family. To every dad pouring into the next one: Sawubona… we see you!
Both cafes open all day. Bring your people. 🌞

Coffee has always been about community. For us, it’s also about where we come from.
Kribi is Black-owned and Cameroon-rooted. On Juneteenth we honor freedom, the people who fought for it, and the lineage we carry in every cup.

Say hi to Big Bloom 🌸 A bold and bright limited-edition blend made for slow mornings, sunny tables, and anyone who likes their coffee with a little extra personality.
Light roast. Ethiopia + Kenya. Smooth, vibrant, and very much in bloom.

The ultimate St. Paddy’s Day indulgence. ☘️☕️
Since we air roast every batch at The Krib, you get a naturally smooth cup that doesn't clash with the cream. It’s a bold, velvety match made in heaven that feels more like a dessert than a drink.
Whether you're adding the whiskey or just doubling up on the whipped cream, we hope your day is as smooth as your coffee. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

If you’re making Irish Coffee this weekend, start with good beans. 🍀
We love using our air-roasted coffee for it because it keeps everything smooth, clean, and well balanced.
Golden rule: don’t stir. The hot coffee and cool whipped cream together is the whole experience. ☕️✨
Grab a bag at The Krib or order online for St. Paddy’s Day weekend.

Most coffee you drink is drum roasted. It involves beans tumbling inside a hot metal drum, which can lead to char and inconsistent flavors.
At The Krib, we do things differently. We air roast our beans by suspending them on a bed of hot air, roasting them evenly from every angle in under ten minutes. Because the beans never touch hot metal, you get a cleaner cup without those bitter, burnt flavors. It is the bean exactly how it is supposed to taste: bold flavor with a smooth finish.
Once tasted, never forgotten.
