Metropolis Coffee Company

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!

Without a doubt one of the best coffee shop in Chicago. Metropolis is very spacious, clean and the vibe is perfect for relaxation and lounging. Their drip coffee is definitely the most delicious in Edgewater. We stopped by this morning for some coffee, buttery croissant , and egg/cheese hand pie….everything tasted fresh and very delicious. Highly highly recommend! 👍

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.

Great coffee, delicious pastries. Ample seating for meeting and catching up with friends or family. Small parking available but in a walkable district

This place is super cute and has a lovely, warm atmosphere. I ordered a vanilla cappuccino and a butter croissant and both were delicious. And this is coming from someone who almost always orders iced drinks! :)

Really cool coffee shop. Plenty of seating, a few outside as well. Have coffee and snacks. I usually have a cappuccino and a scone or muffin. They never have a white mocha which is little disappointing.

Good coffee and love they have vegan options for pastries! Would definitely recommend the brownie!

Staff was helpful and very sweet. They had cool coffee specials and themes. I used the space to work remotely while my dog was being groomed down the street and it was the perfect shop due to ample outlets and seating areas. It did get very busy.

Love the coffee but the cafe on Granville is a sad shadow of its past life. Gone are the days when they had fresh food selections that were heated up before being plopped on a plate; coffee served in real dish ware; and comfortable seating. This used to be my go to cafe but I’ve been frequenting other more comfy cafes now. I miss you old Metropolis. Still love and buy your coffee, but drinking it at home.

Love this spot! The best coffee in Chicago. I don't live there anymore but I'm happy I was able to sign up online & get a subscription to have to delivered to my apartment in Wisconsin!! Yay, baby!
