| - The first thing that drew me to this place is the decor. What keeps me coming back is the coffee. The iced cappuccino is fantastic, as are the lattes and cappuccinos. A couple of friends ordered the Americano and thought it too watery. I have yet to try the siphon-method coffee they serve. If you want tea, though, don't come to a place that roasts its own coffee beans in-house. Otherwise, you're the guy who orders french fries at an Indian restaurant.
The desserts here are baked on site, and if you're lucky the baker will be on premise and ready to answer any questions. If you go early enough, the croissants are still warm from the oven. They taste good regardless. I have tried a couple of their other desserts, too (the pear frangipane and banana something-or-other). Both were delicious and, you guys, they came with homemade ice cream.
This is a great place if you want to just relax with a consistently great cup of coffee, and maybe treat yourself to something sweet. Staff is very friendly, the cafe itself is warm and aesthetically appealing. It's also a pretty good perch to people-watch from, or meet up with friends and while away the evening. After mourning the fact that I have to spend the summer apart from Metropolis Coffee in Chicago, this place has lessened the separation anxiety for me. I'm hooked.
