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- Isabella RomanoMay 11, 2013the Chai Coffskee is amazing, it's a chai with a shot of espresso. tried it for the first time tonight and now it's my favorite drink there!
try the new frozen thin mint, tastes just like the mint girl scout cookies! if u want to add coffee to it just order it with a shot of espresso- it is pretty amazing!
Morgan MillerDecember 27, 2011Metropolis 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.
Bruce HumphreyAugust 15, 2015Try the croissant "Monte Cristo", ham, cheese and raspberry jam in a croissant. Sounds a little weird but tastes delicious
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, gelato, frozen hot chocolate- it's allll good, trust me! Great ceramic cups, too, think they're Italian
- 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
Ask for a blended matcha latte!! It's so good! Get a few chocolate macaroons while you're at it!! Very tasty combo!
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.
Aubrey FrazierJune 27, 2013Everyone's so nice an I love the vibe, definitely a great place to study <3 and te coffee is pretty great too!
- Sit in front of the fire and go through the drawers of the card catalog. You won’t be sorry. 💚
- Coffee shops are fascinating when the Wi-Fi is down. People talking, one guy reading a book. Crazy.
- If you're planning to order fondue, call ahead and make sure there's a place to sit.
Their blended thin-mint it's to die for!! A trip down good old girl Scott memory lane!
They have the best chocolate peanut butter crunch gelato.
- Ask to try a "Welcome to the Jungle" delicious, fruity drink!
- 'welcome to the jungle' smoothie will leave you slurping for more!
If you see mayor McKee, you get a free scone if you slap him on the butt and say "good game"
