Metropolitan Cafe
1801 Boren Ave, Seattle, WA
Crema's Take
“Metropolitan Cafe trades cutting-edge coffee trends for a timeless, old-school charm that makes you feel like you've stepped back in time, paired with genuinely friendly service that greets you with a smile. Their fresh, high-quality sandwiches (both signature and custom builds) are worth the price, and the flexible layout with both cozy indoor and outdoor seating makes it perfect for lingering with friends or catching up on work before their early opening or late closing hours.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Light food on the menu. Opens early. Open late. Family friendly.
