Our roasterie backs up against the banks of the mighty (if not always squeaky clean) Chicago River. We have a couple of folding chairs, and sometimes we like to sit at sunrise, pondering the nature of paradox and/or infinity. One day, while sipping a dark and very experimental espresso, we were inspired to call it Riverfront. Really, Metropolis? couldn't you come up with a more inspired name? Well, if you had been there you would have called it Riverfront too.
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.
That coffee on your doorstep? It’s freshly roasted to order—that’s the Metropolis promise.
