Cafe CHI KAPE
1680 Main St, Longmont, CO
Crema's Take
“This Longmont gem is helmed by Elsy, a passionate coffee expert who genuinely transforms the experience of discovering what great coffee tastes like, paired with freshly made empanadas, sandwiches, and custom baked goods that rival dedicated bakeries. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between a serious espresso-focused café and an inviting neighborhood gathering spot where families linger over breakfast and friends find their new favorite meeting place. What sets it apart is the palpable care woven through every detail—from the thoughtfully crafted specialty drinks to Elsy's commitment to sharing the stories and hard work behind her craft, making each visit feel less like a transaction and more like being welcomed into something genuinely special.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast, pastries, and light food on the menu. Family friendly.

Absolute joy. It's wild how little people know about coffee until you learn from someone who lives for it. Elsy was amazing and is the EXACT type of person you want to support. I wish all the fancy pants people on main Street would enjoy real culture and try this place. 6 stars…
