GinaNovember 4, 2017Love their coffee, the space (though it gets packed), and their bagels. During my most recent visit, I got a mocha and a bagel with onion, tomato, and cream cheese. Definitely coming back. 💞Upvoted 1 week ago
Time Out ChicagoOctober 31, 2011Panini and wraps offer sustenance to counter the caffeine shakes, with a good assortment of vegetarian-friendly options to boot. Late-night hours make New Wave a frequent stop for night owls. Read moreUpvoted 1 week ago
Ryan StempleAugust 8, 2014Probably the definitive place to work on a laptop in northern Logan Square. Free WiFi, bottomless coffee, tons of vegan pastry options and comfy seating - if you're lucky enough find an open chair.
While not the friendliest bunch in the world (you're more likely to get warmth and a smile from the Logan Starbucks) their product is without peer. Great coffees & espresso. Solid sandwiches as well.
Kelly BrileyNovember 11, 2011Free wi-fi. Excellent coffee (I'm picky) and lots of opportunity for people watching. Get your coffee prior to visiting the Farmer's Market, right around the corner on Saturdays in the summer.
Kelli SullivanNovember 17, 2013Coffee Shop ALONG with a video store, and sandwich place! Cool place to meet locals, grab a cup of coffee and just hang out. Support your local businesses!

The Hail Mary is my go to drink any time I'm here, definitely recommend.- Steph TaylorFebruary 5, 2016New Wave is a great place to sit and get work done. The Hail Mary is a really tasty caffeine jolt!

Evan[Bu]July 12, 2013Don't be such a pussy, bring a sweater. The air conditioning feels amazing during summer. Get the bottomless coffee, it'll make you poop.
I love going right before close... Sometimes you'll luck out and get the last pastry free! & It is always less crowded an hour before close. :)
AVAugust 12, 2017Spacious coffee spot with helpful staff. WiFi speed around 18Mbps. Decent coffee from Metropolis.
Tarek PertewJuly 19, 2012They do an excellent job of keeping the bathrooms graffiti free. Be sure to check them out.
F Lo LoDecember 23, 2014coffee place i wish was close to my high school. Cafe au lait. Check. Blonde goth girl making java, check . Guy in kilt? Maybe check . NES hooked up to a giant screen, with the gold zelda game. Check!
Zach ZulaufJanuary 20, 2016This is the best coffee shop in Logan Square. Great people. Great coffee. Great vibe.
The French sodas are always pretty tasty...just let it settle before you stir it up or you're in for an unpleasant surprise.
You might need to fight for a seat in this crowded coffee shop, but once you do, relax with some Metropolis coffee and people-watch. I especially like the vintage Nintendo console they've got.
DeannaNovember 16, 2013Worth paying a little more for coffee here for the comfy chairs and great music.
Get here early! The place fills up fast even though they have lots of space.
Erica TreaisMay 16, 2013Definitely a go-to if you are looking for the laid back coffee shop. Super chill!
nina moralesDecember 11, 2014Love the seating and atmosphere plus their sandwiches are hella filling!
Chris BroachOctober 11, 2010Iced coffee is good. I can never finish it cause it leaves me buzzing. Also the grilled cheese on Rosemary ciabatta bread is delicious and cheap
Silvia Butta CaliceAugust 17, 2015Loved this place and the people in it! Come here and grab a coffee.
Italian sodas and French Sodas (Italian soda with Cream...)!! Raspberry win in a tall glass.
I swear that this coffee has crack in it. So strong and good! Also great baked goods. Just has a strawberry lime scone. Good stuff.
Great coffee selection...seating is hard to find sometimes though
The staff is awesome here super nice friendly great people. Oh and make a wicked cup of joe !!
Metropolis coffee and cinnamon croissants. Best pastry this side of the Atlantic.
Best bagels in the neighborhood. Get em before they run out!- Excellent Metropolis coffee, but the baristas here are probably the slowest coffee makers in the known universe.
Nathyn GibsonMarch 16, 2013The times I've been here, they played Wu Tang Clan and Will Smith's full albums. Cool place.
EceAugust 8, 2014Wifi password is B00Mtown. If password changes, it will be located directly in front of cash register.
Why are their fans ALWAYS at full blast?!?? Can't you see all your customers all have their coats on and are freezing? Is the controller of the fans and thermostat going through menopause?
Neil from the Young Ones is a barista here, although I can't get a picture if him, he's texting on the job.
