Metropolis Coffee Company

"A beautiful cafe with lots of seats, local art for sale, enough options for choice without being overwhelming, and good food. I can't find a thing wrong with this place in my visit. The coffee was good (though I'm not the best judge) and the cheese danish I got was probably the best I've ever eaten! It was perfectly flavored and still warm. I definitely want to make visiting this place a part of my weekly routine."

"Came here on a Friday afternoon and it was packed! There is plenty of seating, which is helpful, as well as outlets if you need to charge. Come here to do work or catch up with a friend. It’s not the nicest coffee shop I’ve ever been to, but the coffee was good."

"A real gem! The food and drinks are delicious, the staff is friendly and skilled, and the ambience is cozy and charming. I especially love the wall art and the diverse and welcoming atmosphere. Lots of locals and students working and studying and chatting. I love Metropolis and come here whenever I'm in Chicago!"

"Good coffee got this place 3 stars. I enter the coffee shop and went at the counter started ordering, cashier was wearing a mask which was making him/her inaudible, not only once but I wasn’t able to hear her 5 times in an approximately3 min conversation which was slightly irritating. Secondly his/her standing position was absurd, leaning on the counter top with elbow support. And she didn’t even greet me nor she smiled at me once, i got the feeling of an arrogant owner. Coming from laguna beach, CA. Service here in chicago sucks. I ordered a croissant and a coffee usually croissants are warm, they’re kept warm. My croissant was cold and they didn’t even warm it up and served without napkins. Thirdly: the outdoor seating. Outdoor seating is not clean there is alot of dust on the tables and chairs. Lots of garbage on the ground near the outdoor seating area. I know i might sound like a lunatic here, but laguna beach has best patios and outdoor seatings, I understand chicago is cold. But today was 65-70 degrees F. Which was quite warm, the weather was perfect for outdoor seating. This last point might be irrelevant or they’re just to careless about their outdoor seating. I don’t if people in chicago like to sit outdoors in summers, but summers deserve outdoor seating. If the keep it clean whoever wants to sit will sit. It’s hard to be perfect, but it never hurts to try. I liked the coffee tho, but the croissant, service and outdoor seating sucked. Let’s have a look at their restrooms. Okay the restroom is clean and tidy, but the lock wasn’t working. Inside ambiance is amazing. I like it. I got videos of everything you guys can check it out. I also got the standing position of the cashier."

"A simple yet cool coffee shop. Lots of seating area to enjoy coffee! Barista is really nice. I got an espresso and spinach feta pie. Thought they were both really good and well worth the price at just over $7. Was happily to see that they sell Sawada coffee beans here too!"
