“ Espresso as a stand alone beverage is exceptional! Food is great! Fresh ingredients with many items mad fresh on premises daily...i wish they had an evening service! Staff is friendly and helpful. All around good experience ”
“ I absolutely love this bakery/cafe! They have freshly baked items everyday, amazing sandwiches made to your liking and tons of homemade goods like pastries, cream cheese, and sweets. Their coffee is really good too. I usually have a latte here and it's pretty bold and flavorful. I believe it is run by a couple who are super friendly and warm. This is located across from the Panera Bread and movie theater. It's a small cafe but still has room for seating indoor and outdoor. I highly recommend this place, it'll become a favorite! ”
“ Very good sandwich (The Slammer I think?) though next time I’ll ask for less press since crispy French bread is too tough. Super fresh ingredients and inviting atmosphere. Will be back ”
“ I just moved out of the area but I'm still thinking about Metro! Sad that I haven't yet found a cafe as inviting or tasty as this place in my new area. I was a regular here for a little over a year and the staff was always very friendly and courteous. The food is great (esp. the focaccia sandwiches and the classic bagel and lox) and they have a bunch of cool drinks to try. All the coffees and teas you'd expected, but also a nice set of sparkling waters and the reason I kept coming back initially - the wonderful hot apple cider! The item is seasonal but warms the soul in the winter months, a must-have. In summary: go to this place as soon as you get a chance! It's a favorite of mine and I'd still be going if I didn't live so far. ”
“ Great coffee!! I stopped today for cappuccino it was awesome. I will come back again for a breakfast. ”
“ My wife and I stopped by the Metropolitan Bakery and Cafe in Philadelphia yesterday for an afternoon snack. We loved the vibe of this place and their bakery offerings. My wife got a piece of carrot cake - which she said “was the best carrot cake I have EVER had!” ”
