The best vantage of the city of Chicago is from the crest of the Skyway Bridge at the Indiana/Chicago border. You’ll see the Blues Brothers drawbridge to your right, factories dotting the river and lakefront, miles and miles of brick apartment buildings, rising toward the gleaming skyscrapers downtown. You’ll have plenty of time to check it out because there’s an 8-car pile up ahead and something called a “gaper’s delay.”” Enjoy your delay with a hot cup of Skyway Blend. Served at many of the finest restaurants, hotels, and cafes around Chicago and elsewhere.
We aim to create an approachable environment where everyone has a seat at the table and the bean benefits all.
With every brew, we pour our passion and expertise into designing a cup of coffee with your pleasure and tastes in mind.
All our coffee is purchased at or above fair trade price from transparent and sustainable brokers and farmers.
As coffee nerds, we have a quirky outlook sourced from the early days of science fiction, fantasy, and lore.
Skyway has been our go-to house coffee for years, and has cemented our reputation with out of town friends who now plan their visits around stopping at our house for a cup. Skyway is tasty with milk or without, bold but not burned, and never disappoints.

That coffee on your doorstep? It’s freshly roasted to order—that’s the Metropolis promise.
