Nitecap Coffee Bar

First, I love Metropolis coffee so I will ALWAYS test out a place that serves it, and Nitecap does.  I love this new cafe in a neighborhood that really needs a relaxed, non-chain, coffee house.  The new cafe, and i mean new (still getting signage up), has exposed brick, a piano, relaxed seating--couch and chairs and tables, and some cool furniture pieces for that at-home feeling.  The coffee--what can I say..it's Metropolis and the baristas were careful to make a GREAT latte and not just schlepping milk into a bitter shot of espresso.  

after a friend who lives in pilsen area mentioned this place had just opened, i stopped in after a swimming class i had in the city.  My friend had some tea, a pork loin sandwich (panini) and a ginger cookie.  I had a latte, the plantain/peanut butter/guava jam sandwich (panini) and a ginger cookie as well.  The bread was delicious, sandwiches were warm and toasty with fresh ingredients.  the cookie was just sweet enough to hit the spot.  They also had some awesome-looking bakery items, which I know I will be back for.

Service was great.  We met the owner, aaron, who seemed excited and nervous as this was their first week but I was pleased with the pricing, food, service and atmosphere.  Definitely worth the stop in that neighborhood when you need a break from the taqueria scene

Delicious Metrapolis coffee, awesome baristas, super chilled out vibe.  Welcome to the neighborhood, Nite Cap!!!  We'll be spending a lot of time together.

New Coffee shop on 18th!  I'm psyched!
