Had brunch today with my bestie I have not seen in 27 years, and his husband. They are on their way to San Fran and I came up from Long Beach. Never been here before, but the food and the staff were 😘🤌🏾.
I had the Smoked Salmon Benedict. Mike had the fried chicken sandwich, Chico (Dennis) had some kind of omelette. We were all very pleased with our selections. Regrettably, I don't have any photos, as my phone was in the car charging, but let me just tell you, my plate was gorgeous. I especially like what they did with the hashbrown. The potato was thinly scallop cut, and formed in a large rectangle.
I give the place a 10/10, the staff, especially our adorable waitress 12/10. Cost was mid, and we spent about $25 each for food and tip. I'll add photos of our dishes if I can find some online.
***I highly recommend this place***

I came to Metro Cafe in El Segundo with the fam for breakfast on my first day back in LA, and we were firing on all cylinders. As I pulled up, I saw my 11 month old nephew outside smiling at me from ear to ear. I have been fighting demons recently and hadn’t seen him in a few months, and that smile was honestly all I needed. If they could bottle a baby's genuine smile and sell it, I think it could cure depression worldwide.
6 of us and 1 baby sat down in Metro, natural light flooding in from the huge windows as we caught up. Vibes were UP. The older I get, the more I see my peers having fractured family dynamics, so I’m beyond grateful to have such a great relationship with my Mom, Dad, brother, and sister in law. A true blessing.
I locked in on my lifeblood order of 2 eggs any style with chicken sausage ($21). The thing about me is I just love ordering a breakfast I could easily make at home. Idk why, but a simple breakfast feeds my soul. Brings me back to homeostasis.
I must note that $21 for this plate is STEEP, but the portion size was huge which was nice. The food was also phenomenal, but $21 for a basic breakfast still just doesn't sit right.
We had a blast in here catching up, discussing hopes, dreams, aspirations, love, and how expensive a simple breakfast meal has become.

Food wasn't what we expected especially for price. The ingredients seem fresh but the way it was cooked that didn't impress us as the pancakes were not fluffy as well as the omelets.

Everything on the menu was fantastic. We all ordered different dishes and tried each others plate. DELICIOUS. The waiters were friendly and very knowledgeable. They made superb suggestions. Will definitely be back.

I've been to (2) Metropolitan Cafes in El Segundo and Culver. Both locations deliver a calm family friendly ambiance with delicious food and a relaxing environment. Best for brunch with family/ friends and typically my go to recommendation for friends visiting out of town.

Great food, strong coffee and friendly attentive service. Good for kids too.
Food was served hot and quickly. It felt pretty upscale, very LA, IG, photoworthy; so that was cool. Coffee was good, served with real cream. Service was very professional and prompt, we actually had some glass break, it was cleaned up quickly and we were moved to another table. Our food was as expected, but we didn't necessarily feel like it tasted any better than breakfast somewhere else.

Food is horrendous and Overpriced can't wait till It's replaced with something something decent

It is a fantastic place with delicious food and service. We had the fish of the day, Chilean sea bass, so refreshing corn arugula salad, goulash, and bean soup. Everything was so delicious, and there were more than enough significant portions. I feel so bad cause we didn't take any photos, but we couldn't wait to eat when the food was served. We’ll be back soon.
