Milli by Metric

I asked for a Lavender with a bit of vanilla, latte and it was too sweet in the cup so I couldn’t taste the espresso. The space itself was a vibe, really beautiful design. I went around 2ish and parking was hard to find, there was also limited seating inside but I managed a small table in the corner. I’d come back and try something different.

Very unique pastries and coffee options. Awesome place to check out. Don’t think it can be a regular spot for me. Overall food quality was good and the nitro cold brew was also delicious. Service was great. Be prepared to wait. There was a consistent line during my whole visit

Milli by Metric is an excellent venue for catching up with friends, study, work, conversation over coffee. With three large spacious rooms with plenty of seating for everyone, Milli welcomes everyone to stay comfortably without time limit. You can expect welcoming friendly service, excellent lattes, fresh roasted coffee beans for sale (they can ground to espresso grade upon request!), and quality sound system to immerse yourself in their eclectic choice of music and your work. Highly recommend you try their offering of pastries and cookies! My favorites are their garlic twist, ham and cheese pan suisse and sea salt chocolate chip cookie.

GORGEOUS aesthetics. Fantastic flat white with oat milk. If coming on a Saturday, prepare to wait at least an hour. Extremely slow service but I think that's because they're making every cup with love. The manager was considerate and kind enough to bring everyone mini cups of hot coffee while we waited in line outside in 10⁰ weather. Specially curated wine and beans. Dear Milli: Offer some vegan pastries and I'll bump you up to 5 stars! There is a HUGE market for it in this city. Think I may have found my new favorite Chicago coffee spot.

Lovely space! I really like the indoor space, very well decorated and with a lot of seating areas to hang out or work. There is a wide food and drink menu + some merch and coffee beans. My coffee was really good. We also tried a few viennoiseries, very well executed. I think my favorite one is the pain au chocolat.
