About this business
Metropolis Coffee Company may be a newer entrant in Chicago's coffee roasting scene, but it's already dominating the area with its perfectionist approach to preparation. Operated by father-son team Jeff and Tony Dreyfuss, the cafe features everything form daily blends like the Redline espresso (named for the nearby subway line), or single origin selections from Brazil, Peru, Columbia, and Ecuador. If you'd like to try your hand at your own roasting, the shop also sells green, unroasted coffee. While you can always find Metro... read more

Best Coffee near Loyola – I currently live about two blocks from this place up at Loyola. They have great coffee and tea, and you won't be disappointed with anything that you order. The cafe has a LOT of seating and is perfect for studying, reading, chatting, or just hanging out. It is busy most of the times that I am there but the service moves quickly. The staff is also very friendly and great at making coffee. A definite must for anyone living near here.
Chicago's best cafe – I moved into an apartment building right around the corner from Metropolis in September of 07. I had never been there before, and waited about a month or two before checking it out for the first time. I've been back almost every day since then. The espresso and coffee beans are all roasted on site, and the finished product drinks are phenomenal. I hadn't had a cappucino that even compares to their work since my last trip to Paris. There is lots of room and the space is comfortable and well-decorated. Th... read more
all in all, awesome- odd service experience – I have been a regular ever since I discovered it. The coffee is amazing- better than Intelligensia for sure. And it's strong. Great study atmosphere, lots of tables and free wireless is always a plus. My bones to pick are- even when it's like 90 outside, I have to wear a jacket inside because it is often pretty cold inside. I see other people in short sleeve shirts though, so maybe it's just me. Secondly, I'm convinced one barista hates me. She forgot to add flavoring once- at le... read more
#2 by a hair – In just about any other city on the planet, Metropolis would be the #1 cafe in town by a wide margin. Unfortunately, Chicago is also home to Intelligentsia and their three retail locations. And while there's no argument about the quality of Metropolis' espresso and coffee offerings and skills, Intelly wins head-to-head because it's as good on those levels and has better service top to bottom, in my opinion. I'll qualify by noting I'm just an occasional visitor to town, and have only been here twice so maybe it... read more
The day my con panna blew away – I've been going to Metropolis since I moved to Chicago. Was a time I would hang out late at night at Standee's Diner. Loved their coffee. "What kind is it?" I asked. "Metropolis," the guy behind the counter said. Turned out it was Samba blend, still my favorite. The lattes and iced mochas are wonderful, although the hot mochas are often not as chocolaty as I would prefer. The staff are always very nice, and try to remember your name. When not completely jammed with Loyola students and little ... read more
Delicious Coffee – This is without doubt the best tasting coffee in Chicago. Metropolis take pride in their coffee roasting and I defy anyone who says they do not like this coffee. I love the Spice Island blend.
Best and most beautiful looking latte – Upon entering Metropolis you realize that you are truly in a unique and delightful coffee shop. The prompt friendly service as you enter makes you feel right at home. Delicious pastry selection abound. The artwork on the walls provides visual excitement. The furniture is funky yet comfortable and functional. You get to meet a variety of people including the owners Tony and Jeff. Each makes you feel special and right at home. You can sit for hours with your laptop, with a good book, or ... read more
Best coffee and teas I've ever had!!!!!!! – Metropolis Coffee Co has absolutely the best coffees and wide selection of bulk teas including greens, oolongs, herbals, rooibuses, blacks and even home-made chai, I've ever had. The coffees are always roasted perfectly-a wide variety from lightly roasted to beautiful (and sweet) darkroasts. Honestly, no other roaster comes close. This smallish company beats anythings here in Chicago and Seattle and The bay area. Metropolis Coffee Co is in a league of its own. I hope, as they grow,... read more
Always worth it. – I love the coffee here. It is, by far, THE BEST coffee in the city of Chicago (from the roasted bean to the brewed cup). And I am a hard sell when it comes to coffee. The staff is trained extremely well on the espresso machine and they always add that meticulous extra touch in the presentation that I greatly appreciate. Most of the veteran staff and a few new ones are extremely personable, professional, and show a good deal of integrity in their work. However, watch out for some of the new post-slacker sno... read more
