The other day, we set out a tasting at our roasterie for a group of a dozen epicureans. We put out coffees from all over the world, light roasts, dark roasts, single origins, and blends. We had fruity floral coffees, dark and smoky coffees, simple profiles, complex blends, and everything in between. Not sure why we bothered. Turns out they like Spice Island, Just like everyone else. I mean, they liked the other stuff too, but if they had to pick one for an eternity on a desert island? Yep, it would be Spice. Served at many of the finest restaurants, hotels, and cafes around Chicago and elsewhere 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.
So smooth and yet rich & full bodied. NO back-of-the-tongue bite! It goes down luxuriously! I’ll always be back for more!
One of my favorites! Especially with dessert!
There is just no better daily grind of coffee on planet earth. Just put it on auto ship and just get stuff done. Happy caffeination America!!
Great aromatic flavors that can stand alone as an unsweetened espresso or pour-over coffee. Mild to moderate boldness depending on extraction level, but light on the tongue for how complex the flavor develops. Pleasant base for a milk heavy drink, but the milder savory notes may be subdued--especially if served cold.
Spice Island is a good cup of coffee. Metropolis roasts other blends that are excellent.
That coffee on your doorstep? It’s freshly roasted to order—that’s the Metropolis promise.
