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.
This is my "go to" blend from Metropolis. It hits all the right notes for me.
I met Metropolis Coffee 10+ years ago and fell in love with Spice Island and I still love it in the morning.
Spice Island blends a few varietals to balance perfectly for my morning cuppa.
Sometimes I try others, but this roast, blend, and quality are exactly to my taste.
I have been ordering five pound bags for over five years!
My go to morning brew.
I'm a longtime Starbucks Verona fan, but have been searching for an equally strong brew with a richer, more "3 dimensional" flavor profile. Purchased a whole bean bag of this blend at Heinen's grocery in Highland Park. Spice Islands nails it for me!
That coffee on your doorstep? It’s freshly roasted to order—that’s the Metropolis promise.
