    This coffee house is adorable inside&out! Homemade gelato made every day, &really great coffee - the Metropolis caramel macchiato was perfect! Graham's318 is two places down from Graham's chocolate.

    That being said, I'm not a snob, and I love the decor, atmosphere, and the baristas are generally super friendly. I always tip whenever I order, so don't hate me for my previous review on Foursquare

    Metropolis coffee in Geneva....are you not sold already!?! Great coffee house that is just that-a house. Sit down with a group or yourself, enjoy a cup of something and get to work or read up.

    Try the croissant "Monte Cristo", ham, cheese and raspberry jam in a croissant. Sounds a little weird but tastes delicious

    Little disappointed in the lattes. Espresso is either way stronger than anything I've ever had anywhere, or the beans are always burnt. Barista let my shots die. You *must* pour milk within 20 seconds

    Best seat in the house? For a single or couple, high back chairs in the west alcove on the first floor. For a group, around the card catalog coffee table in front of the fireplace.

    Is a mocha not chocolate-y enough for you? Try a cocoa con espresso! If Lou is working have him make it, it's always perfect!

    Coffee shops are fascinating when the Wi-Fi is down. People talking, one guy reading a book. Crazy.
