Just had a wonderful brunch there with my friend - great service, really thoughtful owner, great food. and atmosphere. They were slammed because of Mother's Day, but still managed to provide exemplary service. I will definitely be coming back! read more

Great spot for classic breakfast or lunch, with gigantic portions and personable staff who welcome you as family even if it's your 1st time! This time I got the huevos with guacamole and the BLT avocado salad that had enough bacon to satiate the biggest bacon lover! I also love the turkey scramble, French toast, and chevapici (sp?) a grilled minced meat sausage that is addictive. If you order more than one plate, you will definitely be taking leftovers home unless you've got a huge appetite! read more

We came here for breakfast and loved the lively, upbeat atmosphere--it had a great energy without being overwhelming. We were seated quickly (party of two), and our server was super friendly and attentive throughout the meal. I ordered the avocado toast, which was fresh and generously topped--definitely a hearty and satisfying portion. The avocados were creamy and flavorful, and everything tasted really fresh. My only critique is the bread: it was a bit too thick and made the dish a little tricky to eat. It was hard to cut through cleanly, and the toppings kept sliding off. That said, the overall experience was still very positive! I'd definitely come back to try more from the menu. read more

Beautiful cafe, great food & service!!! This is a perfect spot for casual weekend brunch or romantic dinner. My kids can't get enough of their French toast and banana pancakes. Also, you need to try their grilled corn salad, it's SO good! read more

Excellent meal. We were in town for a work convention and loved it so much. The first time we came we came back again a few days later. I loved the eggs Benedict and my husband had an amazing ham and cheese omelette. Great service! read more

First time experience at Metro Cafe, and didn't know what to expect. I came with a friend, and I decided to try their chicken salad. Top-notch fresh ingredients with the perfect amount of protein and dressing tossed in with mixed greens, made out to be a delicious meal. This salad didn't disappoint. The customer service was stellar, and the simple atmosphere was well designed. I highly recommend this place for a delicious bite. Very happy experience, overall. read more

We've been going to Metro Cafe since the El Segundo location opened. We primarily go for dinner, but have enjoyed breakfast (and lunch) there many times as well. The owners, staff and service are all great, and we've gotten to know them well over the years. When we go there, it feels like meeting with old friends. The decor is simple and clean, with a very relaxing vibe. And there's a large variety of delicious choices on the menu - with very reasonable prices. If you're there for dinner, you'll get the dinner menu, and usually another 'specials' menu, but you can also choose anything from the lunch menu (you can ask for it when you sit down). There are some great salad and sandwich options on it. We've tried a lot of other restaurants in El Segundo, but we keep going back to Metro Cafe because it's consistently good. I'm partial to the Ribeye steak, and my wife usually goes for the fish of the day (typically Sea Bass). You can choose from a variety of different side dishes to go with your main course. I also really like their Chicken Salad (on the lunch menu). And my son's favorite is the chicken pesto pasta (not always on the menu, but you just have to ask). You'll get fresh bread served before the meal, with a side of their delicious Ajvar (roasted red pepper) spread, and butter. They also offer a variety of desert options, but my wife and I always get a Cappuccino, which is fantastic (they have their own bean blend, which they also sell by the bag, so we use it at home too). We've also ordered from Metro when we've had gatherings at our home; usually getting a party tray of their Cevapcici (grilled Serbian sausage with chopped onions). You can't eat just one! If you're in the South Bay area, I highly recommend giving Metro a try. You can also check out their original Culver City location, which is just as good, although the size and ambiance of the El Segundo location is nicer, in my opinion. read more

Great spot not far from the water which means you get an amazing sea breeze if you take advantage of their plentiful outdoor seating. Actually, the indoor section bleeds into the outside so regardless you'll love it. This place is quintessentially the definition of beach cafe. Think burgers, burritos, French toast, grilled chicken sandwiches, California scrambles. Service is chill. Easy. No complaints. We'll be back! read more

I love this restaurant so much. I go there when I visit my daughter who lives in El Segundo. Everything I have eaten there is super delicious. The French toast is a memory I dream of. The staff is friendly. The service is excellent! read more

Came here with relatives who live in the LA area and highly recommend it as one of their favorite brunch places! The weather was great and we sat outside on the patio under the umbrellas. Two of us got omelettes - California omelette and the seasonal vegetables. They come with potatoes which were really great and bread and a slice watermelon. The hubs got the smoked salmon eggs Benedict and another person got the metro salad with chicken. Portions are pretty good and filling. The California omelette comes with avocado and spinach and sour cream which is so interesting. We were all very full and satisfied with the meal! Service was friendly and the relatives know some of the staff too so that was great. The inside of the restaurant looked nice too. Great experience! read more

Excellent all around. Good food, good service and a bright open atmosphere. Outside patio as well.

We were able to get seated right away which was a relief! The servers were also very sweet and always checked in on us. We got the eggs florentine, french toast and kids chocolate chip pancakes. The serving sizes were perfect! Don't worry about parking, there's a lot behind the restaurant available. There was also outdoor seating which is a lovely option with nice weather. Would definitely come here again. read more

Almost a 5/5 star review, food and customer service was amazing. Restaurant had plenty of seating, indoor and outdoor. The wait time was little to none on a Sunday which is unheard of in LA. The only issue I had was the food took a little long to come out. But overall food was amazing and definitely finding back. read more

Based on my two separate visits, I barely give Metro Cafe 2 stars. First visit: I liked the open concept indoor floor plan and outdoor patio seating. I enjoyed my garlic and spinach scramble. It came with a side of toast and nice variety of fruit. Service was great. Second visit: Didn't eat. Had to leave before being seated. It had just rained earlier in the morning so there was no one dining outdoors. Indoors was crowded, but there were still three tables available. Two - tables that seat 4 and One - table that seat 2. The gentleman who was seating pointed towards the direction of where all three empty tables were, but when my party of two were ready to sit down at the same table I sat at during my first visit, he told us we had to sit at the small table that was elbow distance to the table next to it. He stated that he needed to leave the other two tables for larger parties. Does that mean that if the next two parties after us are parties of two, they would have to wait until a smaller table opened up because only parties of four can sit at those available tables? Not logical, so I left. read more

My opinion of this restaurant has completely turned around. If you read my reviews, you realize that I rarely ever give any business a one star review. I generally try to give everybody the benefit of the doubt no matter what. What occurred this morning at restaurant was completely unacceptable, however. It was all brought about by one staff member who was either poorly trained or someone who doesn't understand how a restaurant should operate. To tell the story, we walked into this restaurant and there were several available tables. The host points in the direction where three tables were located. We went and sat at a table that we have sat at previously. We sit down, we're looking at the menu, and then he walks up and tells us we can't sit there. He says that this is a table has four seats and two people can't sit at it. Again, we have sat at this table before without any problem at all. First of all, if that is the policy why have we sat and the table in the past when the restaurant was far more crowded? Secondarily, why did he initially allow us to choose our own table if he didn't want us to sit at a specific table? Finally, if this man was supposed to be the host, why didn't he walk us to the table he wanted us to sit at with our menus, which we actually had to carry ourselves? This staff member should really understand the rules of treating customers properly. Because this is not the way to do it. What happened? We got up and left. Thus, I cannot recommend this restaurant on any level. That may not matter much to the management, as this is a very popular restaurant. But, if their staff members treat their customers with this level of disrespect, this is just something you should keep in mind before you go here as it may very well happen to you. read more

If you're looking for a great casual meal in El Segundo, check out Metro for salads, sandwiches, burgers, soups, and coffee. The staff was attentive, friendly, and welcoming; they let me choose which table I wanted to sit at and brought me water right away. They have a variety of seating options, including high tops along the large windows, regular low tables, bar seating, and an outdoor patio. You could tell they genuinely appreciated you dining with them, and this made me feel welcome and want to return again soon. For parking, there's plenty of free street parking on both Grand Ave and in the neighborhood streets, along with free parking in the structure connected to Metro. For coffee, they carry the Italian-style by Caffe Luxxe, roasted locally in Los Angeles. It was a little late in the day for me for coffee this time, but I've had it here before and it was smooth and delicious. To drink, I went with the Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice ($9) and it was so delicious, fresh, and refreshing that I drank it way faster than I'd intended. For my lunch entree, I felt like the salad with the same name as their establishment would be a good choice, and I was not disappointed with my decision. The Metro Salad ($19) comes with red gem lettuce, watercress, English peas, a generous portion of freshly sliced avocado, almonds, thinly shaved manchego sheep's cheese, and mint dressing. I added the grilled chicken ($5) and it was perfectly cooked and paired well with the Metro Salad. Overall, a great casual experience, and I can't wait to return again soon! read more

My cousin was in town from WI staying in Brentwood. Since I was headed up to LAX from Orange County we decided to meet for breakfast somewhere close to the airport. I saw this cafe in Yelp and decided to meet there. The place is delightful. Parking is available in a parking structure right by the restaurant. The restaurant is bright and airy but mostly inviting. Now for the good part - we both had the same dishes but their spinach and feta omelette was one of the best omelettes I have ever tasted. I added some chopped tomatoes and also ordered a pork sausage which complimented the omelet perfectly. The service was top notch. We never had to flag anyone over to get coffee or refills or even the check. And the bonus was that we sat and caught up without being rushed for 2 hours. Great place and we both agreed to come back again. read more

Very friendly staff and good environment. Option to sit inside or outdoors. The restaurant is in a nice area. You can park on the street or in the conveniently placed parking garage right next to the restaurant. Food is VERY delicious. This grilled chicken sandwich had me hooked I went back the next day to get it again. This place definitely deserves 5 stars. read more

There are several brunch places on this street and they were all small/packed full with lines, so we ended up stopping here instead and really glad we did. Got seated almost immediately on a Saturday morning. I got the fried chicken sandwich, my friend got the omelette and a coffee. The fried chicken sandwich was fantastic. Well constructed, chicken was fried perfectly, very flavorful, not too greasy. The fries were also great, well seasoned and perfectly done. I had no complaints about the food at all. Minor nitpicks -- service was a little slow between the time it took to order and get our food, but this is a place you'd like to lounge for a while so not the worst thing. Other than that, its a little pricey for what you get, ($25 for my sandwich after tax). read more

The service was great Angelique was super sweet and she gave some really good menu options. My son ordered the kids chocolate pancakes, they were a little dry and it would be nice if it came with at least one side for the kids menu. The fried chicken sandwich was mediocre, again it could of been some sauce added. The California Scramble was good, it was an actual half avocado on the eggs which is rare to find now and days Overall I'll recommend this location if you want a quick bite when you're near the beach read more

9/6/23 Met up with our cumadre here in El Segundo-she recommended it & I saw the banana pancakes, oh it's ON! Dennis was our server, efficient & he tells us it's their most popular item (pancake with bananas, maple/bourbon syrup)...it's really fabulous but I should've requested syrup on the side. Gosh, the pesto portobello omelette was very tasty-umamilicious! Hubby liked his smoked salmon Benedict. Dining outdoors was the better choice since we wanted to have some great conversations going. Except for the street traffic, that would've been fine. At 10 am on a Wednesday, it was the perfect setting for breakfast, not too busy & the weather was lovely, Fantastic breakfast! read more
