Cafés

West Town

Metric's West Town location serves as our flagship café & training center, nestled in Chicago's Kinzie Corridor. This vibrant area, extending west from Fulton Market, is home to a diverse mix of industries—ranging from modern manufacturing and breweries to distilleries, motorcycle builders, and artist lofts.

We’re open daily, offering a selection of baked goods, alongside our full menu of freshly roasted single-origin and blended coffees, cold brew, Spirit Tea, espresso, batch brew, brewing gear, and apparel.

Established on October 10, 2016, our 400-square-foot walk-up café is nestled at the north-east corner of our training center offering a unique blend of craftsmanship and community. With a thoughtfully designed glass divider, customers are treated to an insider’s view of our training center, creating a seamless connection between craft and café.

Our space reflects a harmonious blend of modern industrial and Scandinavian-inspired design. From blonde and pink wall and ceiling slats to walnut countertops, glass dividers, and exposed brick, every detail was curated to create a warm, inviting, and creative atmosphere.

We’re proud to offer more than just coffee—we invite you to experience the artistry and passion behind every drink.

Avondale

Milli by Metric is an all-day café and bakery in Chicago's vibrant Avondale neighborhood — and the beating heart of the Metric Coffee universe. From the moment we open our doors, we're serving up specialty coffee crafted with the same obsessive care that's made Metric a name worth knowing, alongside house-made pastries, seasonal food that changes with what's good, and a curated wine list that's as thoughtful as it is fun.

We believe food and drink should be both delicious and playful — something that surprises you, makes you linger a little longer, and maybe brings you back the next day. Whether you're stopping in for your morning coffee, a long lunch, or a glass of wine in the evening, Milli is built for all of it.

And if you look closely through the dining room, you'll catch a glimpse of our roasting and production floor — a reminder that everything here is connected. This is where Metric Coffee is made, and Milli is where you get to taste it.
