What People Are Saying
from Google"While not really a coffee shop you can sit down and get a cup at, this is where metropolis roasts their beans. There is a gift shop with merch and some of their latest roasts. The staff were very friendly as well."
"Went to Metropolis for the Friday tour and tasting. Super easy to RSVP for the tour via the website. Carrie, the Production Manager, quickly confirmed space availability. Carrie also leads the tour. She is knowledge about Metropolis history and their roasting process. The three different roasting areas were impressive to see along with their packing process. Chris, head roaster, took the time to thoroughly explain the cupping process and their quality control process. They have a small retail area at the entrance for those who want to purchase coffee or other Metropolis merch. I'll be back again with friends."
"Our friends gave us a variety of beans from Metropolis a while ago. They were so good I decided to order from their website and try their Redline Espresso (I live in Geneva). Needless to say these beans really helped improve my cortado and latte game. So much so that our friends and family now stop by my house for their morning coffee. It’s annoying because I like showing off but I also don’t want to share my good beans. The biggest surprise I’ve had is they have limited edition Project X beans that are out-of-this world good. I wish I had an oak cask filled with them at home. I’ve been compelled to join their beans subscription service to maintain my supply. Support local, support awesome quality, support annoying relatives wanting to steal your good coffee."
"I used to enjoy stocking up on my Metropolis coffee here. Now the factory store is closed to the public. Very disappointing."
"Love the location, Kim (the woman at the front desk) was so damn nice. We missed closing time (4pm) by a few minutes and she still let us in to snag a bag if La Cordillera coffee. Metropolis coffee has always been great, but the customer service has taken another big step up today!"
