N BevelApril 17, 2017For truly strong quality coffee try some other cafe. For hanging out in a loud, noisy joint with so-so overpriced coffee, try this place.
The coffee is the best in the city, and the manager Khale is consumately clever
Lauren BittnerApril 28, 2012I love the fact that I don't have to get a card from the cashier when I want to use the Internet anymore!
This place used to be good, but lately the coffee has ranged from bad to undrinkable.

The banana creme pie is beyond amazing. I think all of the coffee choices are impressive as well.
The redeye is a cup of coffee with a shot of espresso, so good.

Kevin HouseJanuary 31, 2010If you are stuck in Edgewater, enjoy the best coffee Chicago has to offer at Metropolis. Free WiFi too!
Watch out for massive numbers of children on weekend mornings. The coffee is more than worth the wait.
Absolutely have to go and sit down here. Staying for a coffee "For Here" is so good for the soul. Read more- Kayla NimisSeptember 13, 2009Go to Metropolis and buy yourself a coffee 'for here', best coffee in town. Bring a book and enjoy a laid-back Sunday.
Peter ParkerFebruary 17, 2012There's no Superman at this Metropolis, but you might find your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.
The spinach croissants are quite good- get one warmed up
Tips the boys and girls! They serve up some good stuff!
Nan PalmeroSeptember 5, 2012There's a doorbell in the back room. Don't press it. *waits* WHAT DID I JUST SAY?
Wish this spot stayed open late night, such a rad spot. ✌✨

"Amazing chai lattes! The Monkey Buns are a sweet, delicious accompaniment."

"There's no visible menu and that's a good thing. They serve European style drinks. Artificial is out. A cup of coffee is 2.50 with 50 cent refills and it's definitely worth it. Great pastries too."
Chad Curry - 8.5
"Get the cappuccino if you want a good coffee. Milk is steamed perfectly and coffee is strong but not bitter. Very nice."
