Metric 2021 West Fulton Street, Chicago, IL 60612

"This spot is the real deal. If you’re looking for high quality coffee in Chicago, don’t miss it! I visited Chicago this weekend and was already planning to go, but several shops I went to beforehand sold their coffee, so the hype only grew. Didn’t disappoint in the least. Bought some of their beans."

"Coffee roaster tucked away in an industrial area. Most of what they sell goes to businesses but there is a small storefront and shop. High quality drip, pour overs, and lattes - some of the best I've had in the city. Pastries are brought in and also very good - but limited in supply! There is no seating indoors but weather permitting there are tables and chairs outside."

"Metric is easily one of the best coffee shops in the city of Chicago. I just got one of their drip coffees and it was perfect. Not boiling hot, but certainly not cold. It was fruitful and not bitter at all. I also order their beans to make coffee at home and I love that I can get beans within a day or two after ordering and the beans are freshly roasted for the order. Highly suggest going to their shop and ordering from their site."

"This is a serious little coffee roastery sandwiched among a bunch of factory warehouse buildings within a gritty industrial pocket of the west loop. The steady flow of walk up customers in an area with very few (any?) other retailers indicates a very loyal customer base which is no surprise given my strong/bold cappuccino. Damn — if this is cappuccino whats the espresso taste like? No inside seating (disappointing) but that’s consistent with the serious roastery vibe; I’ll have to come back when it’s warmer to sit outside among the rumbling trucks and hard-working folks walking in/out of all the nearby warehouses. The city that works baby!"

"3.8 | great coffee shop that came recommended as a spot with great roasts and specialty coffee. the service was good, the coffee was great, and atmosphere was nice, though it seemed a bit cold. not temperature wise, although it is Chicago in the fall lol, but I think sometimes you can walk into a spot and tell the atmosphere is just a bit tense. might be over projecting here but I also know the coffee industry can be difficult. I would go back and recommend for just a good drip or pour over. the espresso was a tab bitter but the flavor profile I could tell was still good. I also enjoyed the squash and rosemary scone. very unique."
