Metropolis Coffee Company

Order ahead and pick up at the walk up window! Tasty baked goods from a local bakery.

It's a good space with decent coffee, I just wish they were open later, 7pm seems awfully early to close in a spot like this. Loyola is still buzzing with activity till 8 or 9 and there's not many good coffee places this close to campus, seems to me like they could make a killing in that extra hour or two. I get out of classes at 8pm most days and would definitely hang out out here for a bit afterwards if I could even if it's just half an hour or so, and I'm sure I'm not the only one!

This is a very charming, hip little coffee shop, a great place to have coffee or work on your laptop or whatever, love the atmosphere. The only drinks we had were the black coffee and the mocha, both of which were excellent. The mochas are about $5, maybe 4.50.

We also had the cranberry and blueberry muffins (yummy), as well as the almond croissant which has an almond paste center and is absolutely delicious. We had a pastry, a croissant if I remember correctly, that had chocolate in it but wasn't very good cuz very tough, probably been out too long, although there wasn't much chocolate there.

On the hole, highly recommended. The muffins are like $2 a piece, don't remember the prices on the other pastry items.

Whoo its delicious! I got the brown sugar cinnamon latte with oat milk. The baristas are so sweet and everyone inside seemed to be enjoying themselves. The place is nicely decorated with art on the walls and there are many places to sit. I will definitely be going back :)

Good coffee, friendly staff and lots of seating. When it gets crowded, share a table and make new acquaintances.

Delicious on all fronts! From the coffee, to the pastries to the sandwiches. They also have a printer in their Cafe which was super helpful for me. Kind staff and clean place. Highly recommend and will be back!

Best coffee in Chicago! Their Red Line espresso blend has been a staple in my house for over 10 years. Their Holiday Hullabaloo blend makes the perfect holiday season cup, and makes a solid cold brew as well. The cafe is a bit smaller with the rehab, and the specialty brew bar is gone, but the coffee and the quality remain.

My favorite coffee shop in Chicago. The staff are wonderful and the vibes are always good for homework.

Great herbal teas, and a spacious place for working

A neighborhood institution! The place was full and felt crowded. Of course masks were off while people were eating. The staff went out of their way to help me with my order and facilitated getting me through the line quickly. I sat outside on the benches drinking my coffee and eating my chocolate chip muffin and it was delightful. I chatted with so many people passing by and it was like a runway for dogs! I miss the tables though. I don’t know why the tables were removed.
