Metro Cafe 131 West Grand Avenue, El Segundo, CA 90245

"If you’re looking for a great casual meal in El Segundo, check out Metro for salads, sandwiches, burgers, soups, and coffee. The staff was attentive, friendly, and welcoming; they let me choose which table I wanted to sit at and brought me water right away. They have a variety of seating options, including high tops along the large windows, regular low tables, bar seating, and an outdoor patio. You could tell they genuinely appreciated you dining with them, and this made me feel welcome and want to return again soon. For parking, there’s plenty of free street parking on both Grand Ave and in the neighborhood streets, along with free parking in the structure connected to Metro. For coffee, they carry the Italian-style by Caffe Luxxe, roasted locally in Los Angeles. It was a little late in the day for me for coffee this time, but I’ve had it here before and it was smooth and delicious. To drink, I went with the Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice ($9) and it was so delicious, fresh, and refreshing that I drank it way faster than I’d intended. For my lunch entree, I felt like the salad with the same name as their establishment would be a good choice, and I was not disappointed with my decision. The Metro Salad ($19) comes with red gem lettuce, watercress, English peas, a generous portion of freshly sliced avocado, almonds, thinly shaved manchego sheep’s cheese, and mint dressing. I added the grilled chicken ($5) and it was perfectly cooked and paired well with the Metro Salad. Overall, a great casual experience, and I can’t wait to return again soon!"

"Came here for dinner on a sunday afternoon. Wasn't really busy, just one peaceful afternoon. Service was good and the place was nice & clean. The food was ok. Happy Hour from 5 pm to 6 pm !! Order the Fried Chicken Sandwich Cost $21 7/10 •was good but just something I won't get in the future! Needs more flavor Spicy Sprimp Pasta Cost $26. 9/10 •Was pretty good had flavor & a great balance Order 2 small plates 1 chicken karage. 7/10 Cost $9 • if I had known this tasted the same from my fried chicken sandwich, I wouldn't have gotten the sandwich. the sauce it came with was pretty good. 1 romaine 10/10 Cost $ 7 • probably my all favorite! It's has a lot of delicious flavor & for sure, the thin cheese gives it for sure the big flavor! 2 vanilla cappuccinos 4/10 Cost $7 • not good at all for the price & the size! this cappuccino needs some worth. & change of tea cups as well. My cup set was chipped. :("

"Absolutely hidden Gem! Beautiful Cafe , almost romantic. Very friendly staff & clean Place.You order at the Bar. We had an American omelette, and a Croffle !(croissant+Waffle) with Cream cheese + Blueberries. It was all very delicious. Various coffee options aswell. And Mimosas 2for1."

"Food was wonderful and tasted delicious. The omelette was well done with the veggies full of flavor. The French toast had great brioche that were also big and filling. Combined with fruits makes up for a full meal. Highly recommend. Tried tres leches latte but couldn’t get behind more sweetness after the French toast."

"I recently visited Metro Cafe for lunch and was blown away by the quality and taste of their turkey and swiss sandwich and prosciutto mozzarella sandwich (and sweet potato fries)! The ingredients were top-notch, making for the perfect combination of flavors. The thin sliced turkey was ample and the swiss cheese added a creamy texture that perfectly complemented the sandwich. The prosciutto, fresh mozzarella sandwich was equally delicious, with the prosciutto being thinly sliced and perfectly seasoned. I was thoroughly impressed by the care and attention that was put into creating these delicious meals. I highly recommend stopping by Metro Cafe for lunch and trying out these amazing sandwiches! Five stars, hands down. UPDATE: 12/5/2023: The 5-star review still stands! Hands-down one of my favorite restaurants in El Segundo. It's not just that the food's amazing, but the ambiance and the customer service is 'beyond'! Kudos to Metro and the staff for making this a great place to keep coming back to."
