The Metropolitan On Main - Dallas, Texas

This charming little spot was a delight from the moment we stepped inside. Our waitress, Crystal, was incredibly pleasant and friendly. The blackberry lemon mascarpone French toast was simply divine. The lemon flavor was light and refreshing, perfectly complementing the mascarpone. The burrito was equally impressive, accompanied by crispy and flavorful potatoes. It’s a hidden gem that deserves a visit.

🌟🌟🌟🌟 The Metropolitan on Main - Dallas, TX

“The food was amazing… once it finally arrived! Seriously, I think I started growing roots at the table, but hey, they gave us a nice discount, so we forgave them (mostly). While we waited, we enjoyed plenty of lattes—so many, in fact, we’re probably set on caffeine for the month. And those mimosas? Chef’s kiss. 🍊🥂

The atmosphere was lively, the prices were great (again, thanks to that discount!), and our waitress was super sweet. By the time the food finally hit the table, we were all best friends and practically part of the furniture. Definitely worth a visit, but maybe don’t come starving!”

A Breakfast Dream Come True

In all my years of scouring downtown for the perfect breakfast spot, I think I’ve finally struck gold. The Metropolitan on Main is more than just a breakfast haven—it’s a coffee shop, a bar, a pastry counter, and a lunch spot all rolled into one. Honestly, what more could you ask for?

Quick Version (For the Scroll-Phobic Reader): Great prices, generous portions, flavorful dishes, and a vibe that makes you want to linger. You can stop reading now… but you probably shouldn’t.

Breakfast:
The croissants here are worth writing home about—flaky, buttery, and utterly Parisian. I can’t remember whether Adolfo (the talented barista/server) said they import the bread, the butter, or both from France, but whatever they’re doing, it’s working. Pure, buttery magic.

Lunch:
The croissant sandwich? Easily one of the best I’ve had. And coming from someone who usually avoids salads like they’re a chore, the beet chicken salad was a revelation—creative, flavorful, and the chicken was actually juicy. Take note, salad skeptics.

Drinks:
The beverages are a pleasant surprise too. Prices are easy on the wallet, and the flavors are miles ahead of what you’d get at a certain mermaid-branded chain—at half the sugar, no less. Their matcha is served traditionally (no sugar by default, bless them), and it’s as earthy and delicious as you’d hope.

Dinner & Entertainment:
The Metropolitan also dabbles in dinner hours—Wednesday through Friday—though I haven’t had the chance to sample it yet. But Friday evenings do come with live music, according to the owner, which is always a plus.

Happy Hour:
Happy hour runs from 4 to 7 p.m., with specials that make it worth sticking around a little longer.

Pro Tip:
If you’re in a hurry, make the most of their tech-friendly setup. You can scan the QR code at your table to order and pay without waiting for a server, or grab the code outside to order ahead for a quick pick-up. Fast, efficient, and perfect for those of us on the go.

Plus, don’t miss out on their hidden gem of a special—the Noemi special—just a few dollars gets you a perfect little spread of rye bread, honey, feta cheese, and a serving of tea (three tea cups’ worth!). It’s all the essentials, and it’s now my personal favorite.

Flip Side:
For all its technological charm, there’s a tiny hiccup—once you start with one ordering method (QR code or traditional server), you’re stuck with it. No mix-and-match. A small quirk, but worth keeping in mind.

Final Thoughts:
The Metropolitan on Main is a delightful addition to downtown—perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a leisurely afternoon coffee. Whether you’re a croissant connoisseur, a salad skeptic, or just someone who wants a good vibe with great food, it’s worth a visit.

I 100% recommend this cute breakfast/lunch spot! The food was incredibly delicious and the staff is beyond sweet- especially the host. I came for my birthday and they made it extra special for me. Just all around a great experience 🙂

I find myself drawn to charming cafes off the usual route, and during my stroll, I found myself at this particular one twice in the heart of the city. Its peculiar shape and eco-friendly design make it quite a unique spot. It's like a poetry slam venue where you snap your fingers, but with a bright and airy atmosphere. If you're a coffee enthusiast, you'll definitely appreciate this place. Unless you're strictly a decaf person, that is.

First time here, and I loved it! Great vibes and amazing food. The breakfast burrito was a hit, and the fruit bowl was super fresh. Highly recommend!

We stopped here while visiting Dallas due to the high reviews. It did not fail our expectations! The restaurant is spacious with a beautiful modern deco design. The breakfast food was made with fresh ingredients and very tasty. Also extremely reasonably priced!

What really made this place great apart from that is the hospitality of the servers and owner.

Had an amazing breakfast! We had a breakfast power bowl and the lemon mascarpone French toast. The bowl had the freshest and flavorful ingredients and French toast was melt in your mouth delicious
