    caprese grilled cheese and tomato soup, with a minty chocolate tea latte.

    my partner and i stopped in here for the first time because our usual place was unexpectedly closed. thank god it was! metallion cafe immediately has become my new favorite. we were also STARVED and most cafes close around 3pm down here, and if they aren't already closed, they have little to no food options. we ordered a couple teas and some grilled cheese sandos WITH THE SOUP. the prices were reasonable and the food was tasty!! the gal taking our order and making our drinks was very kind and dressed very whimsical, matching the vibe of the cafe perfectly. the ambiance here was what sold me - this place brings back so much nostalgia for what cafes used to be. i personally am tired of the psych ward white colored walls and cool lighting in nearly every single coffee shop. i'm also tired of righteous people and fast paced coffee where the standard is to order your drink, receive it within 30 seconds, and leave. here at metallion, i felt at home, and it is obvious that the rest of the customers there did as well. this is the type of place where they encourage you to stay a while, with shelves of board games, books, and featured local artists. i will be back!!!

    Great little coffee shop that offers grilled cheese sandwiches and salads too. I've only been here once but intend to return. Service was great and I like that they have board games and books for customers to enjoy. Chill atmosphere.

    I love this cool coffeehouse! They serve Stumptown Coffee, which I love, AND they are always playing great music. Cafe owner/DJ Rachel is warm and friendly and has created a little sanctuary in the community.

    My tasty lunch!

    Mon Ami is amazing! I am in love with the menu change; it's all vegetarian and/or vegan, and homemade to boot. The grilled cheese and tomato soup are incredible. The whole shop has a fun and welcoming atmosphere. Game and craft nights, board games, books, and great music, as well as a wonderful owner who runs the whole place. Such a wonderful place to enjoy a morning or afternoon.

    My go-to cozy bowl of delicious chili and toast!

    I absolutely love Metallion Cafe --the food, coffee, tea, people, service, and its relaxing and cozy atmosphere. It's a great place for my husband and I to stop for for the best cup of coffee around. My kids enjoy dining with us and Grandpa here every week. It's just the perfect family-friendly spot to have dinner, play a board game & spend quality time together while supporting a local, Uptown Village small business.

    Oh my goodness!! So yummy! I couldn't decide what flavor of Crepes I wanted so.... I got two different kinds! And they were huge. Haha very soft and sweet. I got the Elvis & the Nutella with Banana. Quick acting and kind employees. I will be back! :)

    Sheryle and I have come twice now. The first time I didn't leave a review because we actually decided to do something else that day, but this is a really great place and if you like crepes I highly recommend it. They don't have a plethora of options, but there is definitely a good selection for you, they have good drinks, and especially good coffee. I really think that you won't be dissatisfied at all.

I popped in on a weekday morning and it was bustling with people. The line wasn't long and I got helped quickly. The person taking my order was friendly and offered solid information comparing their chai to the London fog. He proceeded to ask me about my day and seem like he actually cared. I wasn't sticking around, but there were open tables. Things were clean. They also have plenty of room to sit outside if you'd like. There are pastries and some cold drinks in a case. There aren't a lot of gluten free options, but they did have one muffin I could have had. The drink preparation takes a bit of time. There were people already waiting and many of their drinks have special preparations (pour overs, steeping the tea). Have a minute to wait. I had the London Fog and the baristas advice held true. The flavor was worth the wait and I will surely go back. They roast their own coffee and make you feel welcome. Plus, there's a bookstore across the street. Love all around.

The café offers plenty of seating and feels bright and welcoming, thanks to its corner location with large windows that let in lots of natural light. The owner is from Tanzania, and the mission of the business is to serve the local community with high-quality African coffee beans. Part of the profits go back to Africa to support coffee workers and help improve living conditions in their communities. Their signature drink is the Zanzibar spiced coffee, which I featured in my photo. It's infused with a blend of warm spices that makes it truly unique. The coffee I ordered was a lighter roast, with a pleasant hint of acidity as you sip it. They also have three different food options with African bread. The staff are incredibly friendly and happy to share the story behind the coffee shop, which makes the experience even more meaningful.

The coffee itself was unique and memorable; not your average coffee shop experience, and the zucchini bread was off the charts!
