I ordered the Emerald City sandwich. It had plenty of roast beef, but the tiny slice of cheese ever. Overall, the sandwich was good and the service was friendly. read more

The Metropolitan Cafe is an incredible gem in the heart of Seattle. I had a delicious toasted Seattle Club yesterday and I loved it so much that I went back again today. The food is amazing, the service is exceptional, and the range of fresh sandwiches, salads, desserts, drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic), and packaged snacks is phenomenal. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is also ample seating and a nice deli vibe if you do not want to take your food to go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] If you are staying at the Hilton Garden Inn (next door) or you are just in the area check it out. You will not be disappointed. read more

Metropolitan Cafe - Toasted Seattle Club! Amazing!!! - Delis Near Me - Seattle, Washington

$16 for a sandwich....no chips or anything. Felt like a stretch but it was a p good sandwich - not gonna life. Seems like a mom and pop place that benefits from being near the hotels. Service was great. Good spot to grab a to go sandwich if you're near the block! read more

Metropolitan Café Super friendly spot with welcoming smiles right when you walk in. I grabbed a bagel breakfast sandwich and it was delicious--fresh, simple, and exactly what I wanted. Great place if you're looking for a quick breakfast sandwich and coffee to start your day. read more

This unassuming deli / sandwich shop in downtown Seattle serves up some tasty quick bites. The employees during our visit were SO friendly and kind. I first found out about Metropolitan Cafe when meeting family over the summer since this location was a couple of blocks from their hotel at the time. The main draw here is coffee + a variety of sandwiches that are made behind the counter after you place an order. There are several customizable options for each sandwich, such as type of bread, cheese, meat, etc. They have a good selection of sandwiches too, ranging from breakfast sandwiches to Italian meat subs, and Boar's Head ingredients are used in many of them. An eclectic assortment (some from around the world) of drinks, snacks, and desserts can be found around the store to complement your sandwich. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Small tables are available so you can eat and run during work breaks.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I know Amazon Go is just around the corner, and they probably attract most of the eat-and-run deli / sandwich crowd during busy workdays in this business district, but it's nice to have other options. Metropolitan Cafe / Deli has other locations in Seattle, but Amazon just dwarfs everything. Give Met Cafe a boost if you're in the area and support the little guy. read more

Great service, great hot dog! Great place to come after traveling and don't have to pay hotel prices! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice and clean in the inside with small seating area.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They have Boars head sandwiches, all kinds of drinks, energy drinks, sodas, juice, wine, sodas. Even icecream! read more

Metropolitan Cafe - Deluxe Breakfast Sandwich - Delis Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This spot was around the corner from our hotel. We came here for a coffee quite late and got it. It is a cute breakfast spot and if I needed to get a breakfast, at non-hotel restaurant prices, I could get something. I think they are convenient for the hotel/convention crowd. I say that because they have coffee urn coffee and my husband said it was OK. I haven't been drinking coffee since my surgery, but I did taste his and it was quite good. They have some gluten free options, I had to ask for them and I would have loved to have gotten a sandwich or something on a gluten-free bread. I didn't see this option in the store, but read about it from a fellow Yelper. If I want a Sandwhich and don't want to hoof it all over town, I know that this is the spot to go. We went quite late at night and I was surprised that they had coffee. But I'm glad that they found them. I do wonder why the hotel never mentioned them to us. Especially for the times when the hotel restaurant wasn't in service, but it doesn't matter. We found them, and if in the area and I need something to eat, I'll be back. read more

Delicious cappuccino and fantastic price! A bottle of mineral water of San Pellegrino didn't break the bank either.

A very convenient store to get breakfast bagels and coffee. My fave was the curry chicken empanadas. They were really good. The prices are not bad. They also offer sandwiches for quick meals. This is a place to go if you want to have a quick meal. read more

The deluxe breakfast sandwich is really good, the latte was decent [[HIGHLIGHT]]Vibes are chill, they sell everything in there. Like a really nice convenient store[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

However, its a nice little store. read more

Metropolitan Cafe - Sugar free vanilla 12 oz Americano - Delis Near Me - Seattle, Washington

This restaurant is located next to our hotel. Got in before 9am and miss the breakfast rush, we were the only ones in the restaurant. It's a very clean and very well managed. They were fast to get our order done. I ordered Soup and 1/2 sandwich. Soup was Chicken Noodle and Boren St. Reuben sandwich. Both basic originals and very good with my coffee. The wifey had a breakfast wrap which was also good with her Tea. Fast brekkie and on the road we were. I recommend this restaurant for all. read more

I saw a cockroach between two of the machines. Also the lady who runs the register is unprofessional, doesn't do simple things like hand you your receipt. She needs to be retrained or fired. I won't be coming back. read more

Had breakfast on a Saturday The chorizo burrito was tasty and substantial Breakfast sandwiches are really good, fresh and hot Check it out read more

Their Tuna Melt sandwich and their soup were so good! But the most important thing is that the staff were so honest! I left my purse there and just noticed it after eating in the hotel room that we checked in. My husband rushed back there and they handed it back to him. All intact...my wallet with my debit and credit cards and my passport. We didn't get their names but it was June 22, 2024, around 11:00 am. read more

Having lived just across the street for several months, it would be difficult to not rate this wonderful little cafe/grocery store/take-out. Located on a quiet street just outside Harborview, this location is a popular choice for construction workers and medical personnel alike. To begin, the cafe portion of the establishment is quite good, and they serve a large variety of hot and cold beverages. Likewise the grocery portion boasted an expansive selection of everything from food to household supplies to alcohol. Even though I had access to a vehicle, I still ended up shopping there most of the time. That being said, the real hidden gem of this cafe is their hot bar, which serves breakfast and lunch, both of which boast tasty choices from American and asian cuisine. I would often come here multiple times a day to order food and it was well worth their prices. The food is made in-house and tends to sell out quickly. Overall, I would definitely suggest you utilize this cafe if you live in the area. Not only do they serve as a great place to get a coffee and a donut, but they also have some of the best takeout food in the area. read more

The sandwiches are really surprisingly delicious, far better than you'd think from the fairly generic decor. Service was excellent as well.

I got a caramel macchiato and it was so deliciou, almost tasted like walnuts, it had a very foreign taste and it was very hot!! I will come again ! the lady working was lovely too read more

Walked into this place since it was open till late I.e. 10 PM when almost everything else was closed. Had a Seattle Club and it was gooo goood. Grab a beer to go with the hot sandwich and it was perfect. The turkey + bacon + cheese combination was fingerlicking! read more

This place turned a long-term out-of-town project in Seattle into a pleasant experience. The sandwiches were fresh, with generous slabs of meat at a fair price. Over the course of 10-months I probably snagged a salad, or other grab and go snack over 100 times and was not disappointed a single time. Good selection of drinks, and point of purchase snacks, as well as micro-brews and wine. Great go-to with friendly staff! read more

The ladies there a very nice, and the service is very good and the selection is amazing. The breakfast sandwich was huge for the price. And the fruit was fresh. Plus they have sausage and biscuits and egg station. read more

Great space good Boars Head meat and cheese lots of variety's open a lot had the Philly cheesesteaks

What can I say but I love this place! It was next door to our hotel and the woman working was awesome. On the second morning I went she remembered me and my order from the day before. We ordered two bagels and a bagel breakfast sandwich and it definitely didn't break the budget. I am already planning to stop there on our way back to the airport and I'm sure she will be ready with my order!! read more

I was staying next door at the Hilton garden inn. Went and got carryout breakfast here. It's a smaller store front that appears to have beer and wine to go, coffee and breakfast and lunch type food. I got the breakfast burrito with sausage as the protein and it was very good. Next time I'm in the area I will be back. read more

This place is really lovely. It sits on the 1st floor of my office building and after a few last minute "oh crap I need lunch" visits I already feel as if the staff are good friends of mine. Every day they have alternating specials for lunch; for example this past Thursday it was an amazing spicy basil shrimp with jasmine rice. For about $6 I easily had 2 lunches. This place has everything youd want in a breakfast and lunch cafe, plus some. I'd avoid the noon time frame and try to get here a bit prior before lunch as the line can get long, but they manage it incredibly well so the wait certainly shouldn't discourage you read more

Right next door to Hilton Garden Inn. I have nothing bad to say about this gem. Everything is en pointe from the coffee to the sandwiches to the sundries offered. I was in Seattle for several days and visited Metropolitan Cafe many times at various times of day and it was always .....perfect. Service is fast and flawless. Staff is friendly. It is very difficult to get good customer service lately but thankfully, the Metropolitan Cafe never got that memo. read more

Great sandwiches! Nice people who care about their customers. Conveniently located next to the Hilton garden inn.

What a great little store. The woman who runs this place is a wonderful person to have as a face for your business. She makes this a great place to come to. Not only that, she makes an amazing breakfast. Thank you. read more

My coworkers and I come here frequently as it is very close to our job site. The sandwiches are great, they have daily soup and hot food, and a nice selection of drinks and snacks. The people are always super friendly and the space is clean and welcoming. Highly recommend! read more

Good people and good food. In the morning you can come in and good a plate of eggs, hash browns or potatoes, sausage, bacon, and biscuits. Or a breakfast sandwich if you're in the go. They're lunch is also pretty good. They'll usually have a special item for lunch. The other day it was Chicken Alfredo. Yesterday it was barbeque meatballs. They also make a good variety of sandwiches and have a full salad bar. The owners are always nice and a pleasure to interact with and their prices are fair. I'd definitely recommend eating here! read more

I really love this place. There aren't a lot of good places convenient to Harborview Medical Center, sooo not a fan of the facility bistros. However when my husband saw Metro Cafe, we were so pleasantly surprised. The sandwiches are wonderful and obviously made with love. I've tried the Reuben, Veggie and Capresee and all were amazing. Service can be slower because I think it's literally one couple and their daughter but it's worth it. They also have Korean fried chicken which was SO GOOD! Highly recommend the soy garlic glazed and make sure you call ahead as it takes 25 mins at least to prepare fresh. The food is pricy I'd say but again quality is good-- it feels hearty, healthy and delicious. I'll definitely be coming back! read more
