It's the best coffee shop you will try in Chicago; I don't quite understand how it is not popular. The drinks are just perfect. They're of quality and the flavors blend in so well with the richness of the coffee. The drinks are truly made with love and it shows from the taste. I got the lavender latte and tried my friends chai latte. Both drinks were phenomenal. It's hard to find unique coffee drinks that aren't overly sweet. This spot has it down to perfection. I also loved that the shop itself felt so cozy and intentionally curated.

I . Was in Chicago…read morefor the weekend. Prior to arriving I read an article about the top 100 coffee shops in the world. ( see link below ). While reading I saw that Metric in Chicago was on the list. And that was the sign this place had to be a must try! Came here on a Saturday morning. I walked a few miles from downtown to the neighborhood this place is in. It is in an industrial part town of area. Kind of reminds me of the west bank of the flats area or temont type of area we have in Cleveland. The shop itself is not very big. However the coffee, is absolutely incredible. While there I met Cara . She was so friendly and knowledgeable. I mentioned that the reason for making the walk to this place was to see how it measured with award of top 100 shop. From there I got my espresso. Amazing. Just amazing! Cara also took the time explain the cupping process. And how Metric gets their beans. The educational experience for a coffee nerd like myself was . And then getting a chance to do the cupping was icing on the cake!!! I'm very glad that I got to experience this gem of a shop. I truly understand why it's top . When in Chicago, for any coffee lover/nerd. Come here. I promise you will love it!!! https://theworlds100bestcoffeeshops.com/locales/metric/

They have the best morning bagels I have ever had! Sure, I could put cream cheese, onion, tomato and cucumber on one at home but it is NOT the same! I have tried! Whatever they do to make their bagels is so much better than the store bought ones I can find. Not to mention that I love their scones! I might sound like I have a food problem but I love their morning bagels with a blueberry scone for later and top it all off with a vanilla latte. The service is always pretty quick, the staff is very friendly and if you eat there they play pretty good music. There are only like 6 seats inside but they also have an outdoor area too for summer.

They even welcomed it because they said they want to grow from it. I always come in for a cafe con leche with a jalapeño bagel with extra cream cheese! Sometimes I mix it up and get a morning bagel in a jalapeño bagel and it is so delicious. I just love the taste of the cream cheese with tomato and cucumber. Their soup is also so good. Today I got their turkey melt and broccoli soup and I loved it. The sandwich is huge and the soup is nice and thick. The veggies in the sandwich are so fresh too. They usually have a line out the door but they move through it pretty quickly.

Every sip felt like a reward for simply existing. Also tried something called "False Spring," which has carrot juice in it (I know, I had questions too). But somehow it works! It's fresh, a little sweet, and makes you feel like you've made a good life decision--even if you're just ordering coffee in pajamas. Everything arrived perfectly and tasted like someone actually cared while making it. 10/10, would absolutely order again and pretend I'm a sophisticated person with a refined palate.

It reminds me of a hotel lobby in the best way. Very open and spacious, with lots of tables and desks spread out throughout the space. The barista working helped me decide what to order. She said "iced coffee is a lifestyle" and because she was so cool I did end up ordering an iced beverage on a 10 degree day in February. I went with the dalgona iced latte. This is espresso with a housemade crumbled Korean toffee and milk. It's pretty sweet, but mighty tasty! The toffee melts into the drink to add a toasty sweetness to the latte. The food here is INCREDIBLE! I ordered a breakfast sandwich that was so good. It came with crispy potatoes that were amazing too. Cannot wait to come back and explore more of the menu!

It's a comfy, quiet little coffee shop with new but pleasant workers, good coffee, some light snacks that could be lunch. The one thing I don't like is that this place doesn't allow the workers to take tips. Unless they are getting paid over $15 an hour, that's not right.

None of them were particularly exceptional, but they serve their purpose of caffeinating (if that be your goal). I believe they use the same roast for all 3 of those drinks, which is a bright, acidic roast. If you're into that sort of taste, then this place will suit your needs. The employees are hit or miss. I've had a couple good experiences and a couple poor experiences--not rudeness, but not an inviting, pleasant attitude. It wouldn't keep me from coming to this location, but it is a bit of a letdown to be served by someone who doesn't seem to want to serve. All in all, I enjoy this coffee and the employees more than the alternative around the bend from here, but it won't become my go-to stop for now. For now, I prefer walking to Starbucks, although I don't consider myself a Starbucks person.

The 606 was unlike any combo of flavors I'd had before on a bagel: sweet, salty, slightly bitter from the arugula. For bagel connoisseurs, the bagels themselves were nothing particularly special.

I will say, it does get a little smoky inside, so they do need to work on their ventilation system. The staff was friendly and helpful! No complaints. Overall, a nice spot for a breakfast and drink in the morning!

Chris also made me a coffee in his office, answered all my questions about the different machines in the warehouse and told me multiple times to "make myself at home" until I could get into the wedding venue I was supposed to be at. Absolutely blown away by the customer service and so thankful to the team for turning a stressful few hours into a very pleasant afternoon!
