    Interior

    A spacious coffee shop located near Loyola with plenty of tables to study from. When you enter, you are met by the coffee counter where you order and pick up the coffee. To the right is a separate room with plenty of small tables and outlets. Additionally, behind the coffee counter are a few more tables. I decided to try the special from their winter menu, the Snickerdoodle Latte iced. It was described as brown butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. To be honest, it tasted a little flat - didn't get much in coffee or brown sugar. It wasn't bad, but wasn't good enough for me to make the trek back up for. Price-wise it wasn't bad as compared to other coffee shops, around $6 for a large.

    I found parking outside very easily. There's free wifi available. I got the oat draft latte and added sugar free vanilla for sweetener. It was so delicious, and creamy from the oat milk. The service was nice. The cashier was patient with us and answered all of our questions. He also wrote each person's name on their drink, even my children! They loved hearing their names being called when their drinks were ready. I'm looking forward to go back!

    Stumbled into this coffee shop on a long weekend getaway into the city. It was the perfect spot and we visited twice during our stay. We even picked up a bag of beans to bring home with us! The baristas were super friendly and helped create my blended raspberry matcha drink which was creamy and delicious. Both trip we sat inside to enjoy or beverages. They also have a nice looking outdoor seating area. I particularly enjoyed checking out the local art that is available for sale. Will definitely stop by next time we're in the city!

    A coffee shop with amazing tasting coffee. I got an iced latte with oatmilk and I didn't have to ask for an extra shot! I even bought a bag of beans to go. Also, the interior of this place is awesome. Next time, I'll bring a book or my laptop so I can hang out and enjoy the vibes.

    Early morning walks in Chicago and husband and I found this little hidden gem. The most friendliest barista's I have ever encountered in my life, she was very helpful and gave some popular recommendations. This local coffee shop is a hit with the locals that live in that area. I would say it could pass for a place to sit down and study for as well. BUSY, colorful but worth it. We got two lattes and an everything bagel. Total was around 12 not bad at all!

    Metropolis is always packed when I walk by, so finally tried it out, and glad I did! The baristas are super friendly and the coffee was great. Big fan of their espresso but didn't love the soy milk they used... I think that might just be me though (I'm picky lol!). Will be back!

    inside - free books!

    Yes, you should go here! And make sure to check in for 20% off lattes! ------------------------------------------------ So cute, plenty of seating, some street parking, GREAT prices - an XL matcha latte for about $5?! Back in DC, I'm lucky if a small costs $5 or less... The matcha latte doesn't come sweetened but you can add simple syrup, vanilla, etc. I opted for white chocolate syrup - it's my little hack for when a matcha drink tastes a little watery or too milk and you want to bring out the earthy matcha flavor with some sweetness. When I got my drink (really fast btw!), I wanted more white chocolate syrup and the barista poured more into my cup. It was DELICIOUS! My brother got a latte with regular milk and a big cookie. We ordered together and our total was $13 which I think was a more than fair price considered my XL matcha. I did add syrup and oat milk to mine, which of course adds to the cost. It was worth every penny! Service was speedy and I was grateful that they didn't charge me for wanting more syrup. There was a healthy amount of people inside working, chatting, chilling. I'd totally bring a laptop or friend here, not sure if there's WiFi though, as we were only stopping by to pick up drinks on the way to the airport. Would definitely come back!

    Cold brew with a splash of oat milk and extra vanilla

    This place never misses. I love this place so much. The coffee is always good and the baristas are even better. There's a good amount of space to sit and hang out for a bit too. Metropolis is always a bright spot in my day whenever I go. Their specials are also always amazing. Really, I can't express enough how much I love this place.

    Great little coffee shop to grab a coffee and food to go or sit and work a little. I loved how they had a little variety with coffees and lattes. I personally do not drink coffees so I need a light coffee drink like a chai latte. I'm also a cold drink person and they have a lot of options for what you could customize your drinks. I enjoyed my drink a lot and I don't really drink coffee. Although people may consider my drink not really a coffee, I would come back and order that drink again.

    Delicious espresso drinks and an iced chai latte close to Loyola in the Rogers Park neighborhood. Hip space with lots of small tables (2 person) and funky art on the wall. Cow milk choices were skim and whole only. Sold lots of whole bean roasts to take home. Had chemx set for sale.

    My brother who lives in Edgewater recommend Metropolis as his favorite area coffee shop/roaster, and after spending some time there I am a big fan. Had a really good cappuccino, which is always the mark of a great coffee shop. Enjoyed a couple of hearty, meat-filled pastries for breakfast. And bought one of their top selling roasts to bring home. We've enjoyed sipping on that all week! (Buying beans gets you a free small coffee - why doesn't everyone do this?!) Their was a good number of baristas so the service never slowed down, and they were all friendly and helpful. They have two bays so there is plenty of seating.

We had to take our shoes off to sit comfortably. I think we could've had tables too, but the wait would've been longer. If you have a large group, I would call first to see if they can accommodate you. All the staff here are so kind and friendly. I've been here twice total now, and both times the food has been excellent. I didn't realize this place was pescatarian the first time. I picked the mister grecco panini for the artichoke hearts: It was a little salty due to the olives, but it wasn't overwhelming. I really enjoyed the fresh side salad especially the honey mustard dressing. I would order this again, but there's so many other menu items I want to try too.

The pear Bundt cake was really moist and flavorful. I loved the peanut butter and chocolate pie that was vegan and gluten free and awesome. So delicious! The milkshakes are amazing! I had a boozy one and it was so smooth and easy to drink. They also have good cocktails. I enjoyed a margarita here. The coffees are fantastic! I loved my Thai iced coffee. The matchas are wonderful.

The pear and blue salad is delicious. The menu here is expansive and I look forward to coming back and trying new things. I definitely recommend coming here!

I figured the limited hours had something to do with the menu. Now that you all have gotten rid of the DJ table and added more chairs, it does feel more like a standard cafe! I'm looking forward to the menu changes. Thanks for your consideration! Previous review: I really enjoy their beverages and I keep coming back. That being said, there is almost no price transparency. The only prices they have on their menu are for the THC additions. I've mentioned this to the owner twice (he's a cool guy) but he has always sort of shrugged it off. It bothers me every time I'm in. Sometimes my latte with oat milk comes out different prices. Price transparency is so important for consistency . Not including the prices is a bit elitist, especially when the average drink is $6-$8. You should want folks to come in and comfortably order what they can afford. I hope this suggestion is taken into consideration. The drinks are good and like I said, I keep coming back but this has been a sticking point for me for a year plus.
