Metro Cafe

Metro Café in Culver City, California, never fails to delight my taste buds with their sautéed house special banana pancakes. The addition of pecans and walnuts elevates the flavor to a whole new level. Pairing it with their refreshing Kale Lemonade and perfectly cooked breakfast potatoes completes my culinary experience. It's a must-visit every time I touch down in LA.

Our friend who lives in culver city recommended this cafe to us. So we came to check. It was very very very busy on Sunday morning. I’m so glad they still have a lot of outdoor seating. Luckily we didn’t wait for the table very long. The menu is huge and the smell of the French toast from other tables really caught our attentions. I must tell you, trust your nose! The French toast is amazing! Huge, but not very heavy(cause they used brioche) and also not too crazily sweet. Simply delicious. Another dish very recommended is Serbian Americana, if you are a meat eater. Very fresh and delicious. And every dish they serve the potatoes which is also perfect. You should try all of them. The only thing we didn’t feel good enough is that the waiter, only a guy not all of them, wasn’t nice and even was a little aggressive. But it’s not a big deal to ruin our nice food. Anyway, come by and have a try, you won’t regret!

We really liked this place, the service was very fast and efficient, all the servers were super smiley and looked happy to work there.
Our breakfast dishes were delicious, everything tasted fresh.
You need to write your name on a sheet when you arrive, to indicate your name and number of people. They would not let you sit down unless the full party is there, which makes sense since the service is quite fast. I am not a fan of eating on the sidewalk of a street. But still appreciated sitting outdoor.

Excellent. Not noisy. Attentive service, delicious food. I had the unpronounceable Serbian beef sausage-ish dish. The server will explain. It was wonderful, served over chopped onions, with just-crispy little potato cubes and a tasty tomato and cucumber salad. Friends enjoyed the lamb chops and the tofu dish. Second time there, I'll return.

This was my first time. The atmosphere, the customer srrvice, the waiter all was friendly. My french toast with the frssh berries and all was very delicious, the turkey sandwich was very good and serve a good amount of food. Coffee was good. Over all the place was good place to eat out.

Pick this as your place to stop! Everything was amazing. The service was friendly and quick. The sandwiches were generous in size and delicious! The tea was a bottomless glass, and it was never empty. It is very convenient, just off of 405, right before the Travelodge on Washington. Clean and comfortable seating, inside and outside. If back in LA, we would stop again!

What a fantastic lunch! I had the grilled portobello sandwich and it was amazing! My wife had the chicken Caesar salad and it came loaded with grilled chicken. Reasonable prices, excellent service, and fantastic food come together to make this a great place for lunch!

Highly recommend French toast, it with salty butter delicious, soft and puffy don’t miss it.

Sweet little place. You can eat outside or inside. Great friendly service. Food is delicious 😋. It's a lot of food so have room to eat . Breakfast choices are great .

My boyfriend and I were very impressed by this tiny restaurant. We passed by to get some pancakes (which were huge and fluffy) and ended up ordering Avocado toast as well (that was also equally delicious). For it being a small Cafe attached to a hotel, I was pleasantly surprised and overall enjoyed my experience. If I was staying at this hotel, I would be happy for this to be my breakfast.

It's a cafe underneath the hotel where I stay. I went in just to try it, but I was really pleased with it. They have incredibly delicious flavors, especially their French toast is a legend. It is definitely not heavy, light and not too sweet. It is ideal with syrup consistency. The other breakfast menus were also great. I will be coming back for breakfast every morning during my stay.

Food and service was excellent. Every dish being brought out to other tables looks so good you wish you had ordered that also. They do the thin sliced potatoes on the flat top so they get crispy on the outside, almost impossible to do at home.

I will definitely be going back.

Street parking. Friendly and warm staff. Was greeted and seated almost immediately. Food. Is. Amazing. Plating is high scale and taste is balanced and delicious. Would absolutely eat here again. I got the roasted veggies and added salmon. Would be a great first date spot. This place has a modern but warm atmosphere. Would like to try breakfast!

Love this place ! Every time I dine in the food is great & the service is amazing.. I love the Banana Pancakes & all the Omelets i’ve tried are so delicious.

I haven't had a bad brunch meal here. Everything is incredibly fresh. It can be slightly bland at times but nothing a pinch of salt and pepper can't fix. This way, you can please more people. I recommend their Eggs Benedict, and their Country Scrambled.

Honestly this is the best breakfast ive had in LA to this date. Nothing but fresh food and savoring flavor that lasts after every bite.
Would love to go back. I landed from my seasonal travels and went straight there. I travel a lot so I’ll be headed back for sure.

Very happy with this restaurant. The staff is friendly and all the customers seemed happy. The food was great and they immediately serve you the best coffee ever, it did not need any cream or sugar. Our order was lost by the kitchen so it did take a while for the food to get done... they had to put the order back in but they took 20% off and gave us free French toast, which my husband loved. They were so friendly and professional we are so happy with this restaurant.
Earlier today we experienced obvious racism at a restaurant in San Marino....I almost lost my faith in humanity until coming here to Metro Cafe in Culver City but this place was night and day difference - people from all around the world happily enjoying good service and good food here... everyone no matter what color or what accent you had being served with a smile and sometimes I even witnessed who seemed to be the owner giving some patrons a family like hug .... went from 1939 to 2023 in a matter of minutes ... very grateful for Culver City and the people here ... if you want to feel gratitude for this wonderful city just go to San Marino ... then run back here lol 😂 clicking heels together there is no place like home.... I love you Culver City and thank you metro cafe for a yummy egg white and goat cheese omelette ❤❤❤

We were staying at the Travelodge next door and had breakfast at The Metro frequently. The staff are kind and friendly. The food is just fabulous!! Go you will be delighted!

We came here because it was right next to our hotel, expecting average cafe food items. It was a HUGE surprise when our food came gorgeously served. Best tasting French toast and excellent pancakes. Worth a visit, especially on a weekday morning as it was not crowded at all.

Where to start? Well the breakfast plates will not let you down! The coffee always hot and the caps are made to perfection. The staff? Well the staff is on point and you can hear the 😁 smile. Being from NM it's good to come to a friendly spot like being home. I will definitely be back . Thank you all for the hospitality
