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/

My wife and sister probably think I am absolutely crazy but every time we visit my sister (and when…read moreI lived there), this was my favorite breakfast spot before work. 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.

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.

If I was a local, I could definitely see this space as a regular study spot To be honest, I feel like my boyfriend and I didn't order the best items because the coffee and food was just okay -- I'll come back to try their breakfast burrito and potato wedges next time, and maybe try different speciality drinks like their hibiscus matcha or this purple iced drink I saw everyone ordering But the staff was so kind and the space had great vibes so I hope to try more from them next time!

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.

I've been to this location a handful of times now. I've gotten iced coffee, drip coffee a couple…read moretimes, and an iced americano. 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 food and drinks are all well made, the 405 and West Coast are my favorite sandwiches, you can really tell they put a lot of love and effort into what they do.

Don't skip if you live in the neighborhood.

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. The space itself is spacious and has nice seating options. There's also colorful drawn pictures on the wall that makes the space feel bright and happy. 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!

I didn't pay attention to the "roastery" portion of the name so I walked in expecting to buy a cup of coffee and use the wifi to work for a few hours.

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!
