Known forspecialty coffeeroasterythird-wavewifi

Metric is a roaster-first café housed in a spacious, light-filled warehouse space that doubles as their roasting facility — you can often watch the roasters at work. The espresso program is exceptional and the batch brew is reliably excellent for those who want something quick. The space is large enough that it rarely feels oppressively crowded, making it a great place to work.
