'Cord' will remind you of that great little brunch spot with the big windows and the Proudly Serving Metropolis Coffee sign on the door. Close your eyes and remember the coffee that went so well with the banana pecan pancakes and that spicy cuban omelet (while you were nursing the most monster hangover of your life). This Metro fave top three seller is served at many of the finest restaurants, hotels, and cafes around Chicago and elsewhere.

Simply delicious. La Cordillera is the perfect way to begin a morning. I use the beans with a French Press and could not be happier with my cuppa.
I really like this medium roast from Metropolis and it's my daily pour over. I've tried many of their offerings and I haven't had one that I didn't enjoy. La Cordillera is delivered monthly and make trips to the Granville location for some of the single origin beans too.

My son introduced me to this coffee a year ago, and I immediately started a subscription. I have also gifted others. This coffee blend is smooth with no acidity at all. I highly recommend La Cordillera! I also like supporting a small, locally owned business.
We became coffee snobs while our kids were living in Chicago and we were introduced to Metropolis coffee. Our children have left Chicago and though we have found some really good coffees from other roasters, La Cordillera will always be our favorite. Not a smoother taste. Thank you, Metropolis!! Our go to gift for our coffee drinking friends.
That coffee on your doorstep? It’s freshly roasted to order—that’s the Metropolis promise.
