Metric
2021 W Fulton St, Chicago, IL
Crema's Take
“This Logan Square gem has earned its place on world's best lists for a reason: their espresso is exceptionally clean and nuanced, never over-roasted, and serves as the foundation for both traditional drinks and creative specials like their beloved Maize Mocha. Beyond the coffee itself, Metric creates a rare kind of sanctuary with its slow, peaceful aesthetic and genuinely warm service that makes both coffee lovers and casual visitors feel welcome and unhurried. Whether you're grabbing a quick pour over or settling in with a meticulously crafted latte, this is the kind of neighborhood spot that locals travel back to and visitors can't stop recommending.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, good cold brew. Quick-grab spot.
