I’m new to the neighborhood, and happily have fallen in love with Metric. I walk my dog around the cafe pretty much everyday. The coffee is great, and the pastry is excellent! Most of my experiences with the staff have been lovely, however there is one employee (owner/manager?) that consistently has a bad attitude. For example, today, he was trash talking my half-caff latte order, and voiced out loud in front of not only me, the customer, but everyone else and his coworkers,...read full review

Visited Metric this morning during a short bike ride around Chicago. Without a doubt the best cortado Ive had in this city. Granted my sample size is small, but this was truly an amazing drink. I am very glad I ventured outside of the tourist lands and made the trip. I even got a recommendation for a coffee shop to visit back home from them. Thanks!

Metric is a restaurant known for its high-quality matcha latte and delicious pastries, including a rhubarb danish and croissants. They offer a variety of roasted coffee beans, with numerous staple roasts available all year round and seasonal options. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, creating a speakeasy-like atmosphere in their warehouse storefront located in the brewery district. Visitors can watch the coffee-making process and purchase merch, brewing equipment, and beans. Their flagship espresso has caramel notes and pairs well with milk, while their dark roast beans are perfect for home brewing. The patio is ideal for outdoor seating in the summer, and the space has a cool, pared-down industrial-Scandi look. It is a solid, great spot, though the inside is small and tight during rush hours, feeling more like a grab-and-go kind of place. There is a normal menu and a summer menu, featuring items like the espresso cream soda, cortado, nitro cold brew, and seasonal Honduras cold brew. The baristas are laid-back but legit and do not charge extra for oat milk. Prices are up there compared to corner shops, but you're paying for craft. It is a very quick walk from the green line stop.
