Eric Streeper: Chocolate croissants are the specialty here. The bread is fluffy and delicious, Belgian hot chocolate is rich and creamy, and not overly-sweet.
Jud Valeski: Wow. Baked bread aroma permeates everything. Amazing chocolate croissants.
Quernzy Social: Seriously -- the white chocolate bread. You have to try it. And the most amazing chocolate croissants ever!
Kyle Carbone: Chocolate croissant! For dinner, Swedish meatballs are a must!
Joe Carlson: The chocolate croissants are amazing! Be sure to get them early because they often run out!
Alex Lawrence: Amazing taste of coffee and delicious latte. Freshly made food has been served. Good place, nice environment. People should try their Chocolate croissant and banana breads slices are super delicious.

Susan K: Love the chocolate croissants, S'mores mocha, and the turkey sandwich!
Stellaa Duhart: Loved the place & their set up. Their latte was good and their pain au chocolat delicious.
Angie Snider: Honey cinnamon latte is the best indulgence when you come here. For your black coffee needs, Metropolis coffee (this is their cafe) is brewed perfectly resulting in a smooth, flavorful cup.

Stephanie Iza: House potatoes AND a side of mini goodness(pancakes or waffles) with an omelette? yes, please! Coffee is great with a chocolate croissant! Tables are a little small, but great place nonetheless.

Shelley J: The pain au chocolat is to die for!
Shruti Mansur: Latte/Mocha, Fresh Oj, yumm brunch and mind-blowing bakery goodies. The interiors made me feel so happy!
Xinnie: Love the interior design of this place. I didn't get to enjoy much because I ordered to go. Latte is perfect for me since I don't like mine too bitter. Nutella croissant is too sweet for my taste.
Matthias P.: Chocolate croissant and Cappuccino were very good, but service was rude and slow. They were certainly staffed well, but hopefully they’ll be able to turn that around soon...#
edisonv 😜: Picturesque coffee shop with plenty of cool decor & selections! A godsend to early risers & hungry travelers! Highly recommended!
M: Tostadas are really good. All types of beautiful baked goods too.

Heather Rudin: The most delicious chocolate croissants I've had outside France, and bagels that satisfy this New Yorker.
Aly Andrews: I got the egg/meat/cheese bagel (specifically scrambled egg, bacon, provolone on everything bagel) and am not regretting it. Also snagged a small medium roast drip coffee that is also spot on.
Ryan Nolan: Pastries are awesome!

Tommy Thomasino: Most intelligent coffee in the loop. For the most intelligent in the loop. The Chocolate Croissants are tasty.
Blaise Hopkins: Great coffee options, solid breakfast snack offerings. Ham & cheese croissant and chocolate croissant are good.
Carl Figueiredo: The downtown location of the godfather of Chicago 3rd wave/specialty coffee. If you're serious about coffee put this on your list. Direct trade and seasonal espresso, cold-brew and pourover coffees.
