Food is not bad. I enjoy their plain bagel with cream cheese and lox. My boyfriend likes their sandwiches and vegan donuts. Their bread and raisin bread crisps are good. I dont care for their seeded bagel, but thats just my preference. Coffee is awful. Ive had it twice. I forgot how awful it was the first time, and made the mistake of ordering it again. Generally busy weekend mornings, as is expected, but the wait can get excessive. The reason they have one star though and not two or three is because they have gotten my order wrong more than once. The first time was on a weekend morning, we got a bagel, sandwich, and a couple pre-prepared items to go. After waiting an eternity for our pretty simple prepared order, we received the bagel; then after another eternity we received the sandwich. We got home to find we had 2 bagels, one on the type of bagel, and no sandwich. So, after a trip back to the bakery, we received the sandwich, were told to keep the second bagel, and offered a cookie. The second time, all I ordered was a bagel with cream cheese and lox, got ten steps out of the door and checked it to find it was on the wrong type of bagel. They replaced it and it was delicious. Theyve not given me a hard time about fixing their mistakes, but I shouldnt have mistakes for them to fix. I dont believe well be returning.

I love going to the Metropolitan Bakery & Cafe. Its a tiny space with a very cozy and authentic vibe. The wall behind the counter is filled with freshly baked bread, a display case shows off the baked goods, and a hand-written blackboard displays a menu. I usually go for bread as Im a huge fan of all their whole grain loaves. On any given day, its a bit of a toss up as to what will be available, but I dont mind as the variability has encourage me to try several varieties including multigrain, whole wheat, cracked wheat, and spelt. While they are all good, the dense and nutty spelt loaf remains my favorite. Ive also tried a couple sandwiches here, which courtesy of the great bread on which theyre served, have also been quite good. While Im always tempted by their cakes, which are available by the slice, the only sweet bakery items Ive tried have been the muffins. Like the bread, the muffins were delicious, and I especially liked the everything one.

Visited this place twice and both times had lousy cs: very very slow service and cashiers who are clearly doing you a favor by being there. Food was ok but not what you would expect. Altough I really liked chocolate croissant.

They microwave their coffee... Customers should be aware. And when I decided to question the manager, he was came after me like I was the crazy one. Ill never go back.

I live in South Philly and walk up there just to experience the high-quality food and the friendly service. A tad pricey but worth it!
