We love Metro Coffee. I think beyond the yummy coffee and laid back atmosphere, the owner Stef is so mellow and warm and knows everybody's name. It feels like home there.

This place has become my favorite coffee shop in Tacoma. The ambiance is warm and cozy, with huge windows that let natural light in. The baristas are always friendly and don't make you get up to grab your coffee off the bar! I'm a student at UWT so I come here almost every morning before class. It has a large table that can be shared for studying, or smaller tables for individual time. Definitely pop in here if you're downtown!

Best owner and team. Great coffee, art from local artists on rotational display, cozy, and lets you run a tab. Everyone knows your name after a few visits and they have a which doctor knowledge of teas. A tea for everything. You'll get better coffee here and you know where your money is going; to a local owner who started as a barista. Unlike an international coffee conglomerate down the hill who must not be named.

I've been a student at the university where Metro Coffee is located and have been a customer there for 4 years now. Today, however, I received the worst experience I've ever had here, I left upset and embarrassed and it was not what I was expecting from these two ladies there, that have been there at least for a few years that I've been a customer.
I usually come in with my friend to get free hot water for my tea. Every time before, I've gotten hot water on the right side of the store, by the cup lids/straws. This morning I walk in and just go up to the lady on the right side, asking if I can get water today.
Instead of responding immediately she looks to the other lady, smirks and with an attitude tells me I can get back in line and I can get water. I said okay..? But I can though, right? I'm just trying to see if it's ALLOWED. I'm asking a question. I got back into line, frustrated and I rolled my eyes, the lady working the counter then calls me out, there are others around, saying I don't need to be rolling my eyes, she said I had to get in line.
BOTTOM LINE HERE - I've been a customer for 4 years, have seen these ladies for a few, and have never had a problem before today. I felt embarrassed and disrespected as I was just asking if it was okay to get hot water. There was no need to further call me out, rolling my eyes after another employee was just giving me an attitude.
I will not be back. -

The coffee was smooth and definitely had a nice taste HOWEVER the food selection was rather limited. If your out for a nice breakfast and coffee this is not your place. The food consisted of "day old muffins", a small box of lucky charms and a few granola bars.
