Got the roasted chicken sandwich today and it was out of this world! Definitely would recommend and plan to return frequently to have this sandwich. The bread was a perfectly crispy and crunchy baguette. The chicken was a roasted chicken and cut into sizable chunks with a fresh savory dressing. Service was efficient but not very welcoming. They are not currently offering indoor dining, but have a few tables outside and it's only a few blocks from the park.

Amazing pizza! They recommended we have their seasonal Butternut squash pizza with walnuts and pesto and it exceeded our expectations! It's a quaint place near Rittenhouse square with outdoor seating, BYOB in summer. Definitely coming back!

Love their rosemary-olive oil sourdough bread. However, the affitional baked goods I bought were inedibly dry -- lemon cake, millet muffin. Caught clerk putting in an item I hadn't ordered -- even when business was slow, trouble paying attention. Used to find their desserts craveable, now just dry and tasteless. Even a cup if tea with them couldn't help them. The bread seemed denser than in years past. Something has changed in that kitchen. Upside, if you miss getting to the bakery during their limited hours, their cafe next door sells several of their leftover baked goods. Will give them another try as I don't know of another real sourdough baker in town. Too many cheat the proofing process

I hate to say it, but the avocado toast was not as mind-blowing as usual (my past reviews are on the Metropolitan Bakery page - they've split the listing). The coffee is still excellent and I love the vibe, but the toast was burnt first and after one bite I had to give it back. They remade it, but it was still really hard to eat. I picked my hotel around being near her for breakfast, as I've been doing on my last few Philly visits. :) But the avocado toast was a disappointment. Also they don't open til 11 am these days on weekdays, which was a surprise - lots of us were lined up outside on a hot day. But I would come again for the coffee and hopefully the other dishes here. It has always been a favorite.

I've always loved getting breakfast at Metropolitan Cafe (especially with their morning granola bowl), and was excited to try their new pizza for the first time for lunch today! Was shocked to open yelp and see it having such poor reviews. I've always found service great at this place, especially for not being a sit down restaurant! This was always a cafe where the workers were friendly and willing to give advice on what to order and information about what's inside certain items. There are always plenty of items I enjoy here, and had a hard time choosing one to try. I asked the people working here for their advice for something vegetarian, and they recommended the asparagus and farm fresh egg pizza. It comes with truffle cheese and is so delicious! I wasn't craving pizza when I came here, but was so happy with what I ordered, and was glad I got to try something new! I also ordered a cappuccino. Metropolitan gets their coffee beans from Green Street, and I always love the taste of their coffee (and I can be a bit of a coffee snob). I noticed they now have homemade ice cream at metropolitan, which I will have to try during my next visit! Also, I came during a Sunday during lunch time and I found seating easily, and got great service (an earlier review suggested that service and seating is awful on weekends here, and I didn't find that to be true at all!)

I definitely owe my friend for showing me this hidden gem. I love metropolitan bakery but I have a feeling I will love this addition even more! There is a hearty selection of toasts, pizzas and breakfast all day options for lunch and dinner. Best of all, you order and pay at the counter and they bring the food to the table. Makes it a quick and easy spot for anytime of day. My thoughts on what we ate ( shared amongst the 4 of us) 1) Avocado toast - Devine. Should come with an egg too. 2) Ricotta and asparagus toast - anything with ricotta = YUMMY 3) Mushroom pizza - loaded with mushrooms, tasty! 4) Corn and tomato pizza - interesting combo, glad I tried it once but not sure if I would get it again. 5) Chocolate cake - probably one of the best I've had in philly. 6) BYOB!!!
