Metrio & Co.

I’ve come here multiple times and always had really great experiences. The coffee is outstanding and the food is homemade. I will post a few different photos of the various meals I’ve had.
Today I had the chicken curry pie with their side salad of quinoa, sweet potato, spinach leaves and onion. All of it was so good. The curry could have been spicier but had so much flavour and the pastry was perfect so flaky and delicious with an outer crunch you would expect.
The hot almond latte I ordered was also spot on with excellent crème and very hot.
The ambience here is great and I love the naruto posters !! They also have wifi which is a bonus.

Great Spot on the busy café strip, but you can sit indoors or on the street if the breeze is not too bad. Seems to be popular with the yoga set, however there were also the usual coffee and brunch crowd too.
Has more space than a few close by and coffees are great even the Chai Lattes are hot not luke warm like most.
Corn Fritters are the bomb and a most try every time I come here, the Eggs Benny with ham off the bone is the only other item i have been game to try as I love these two to much to be sad if something else on the menu is not as amazing.
Now to the eggs — PERFECTLY poached the best I have had for a while and that was on both of our dishes.
Newspapers are at hand to catch the daily news, and water is free and in the bottom of the fridge so you can help yourself.

Yep, I’m a fan of Metrio & co. This café, located on the popular Angove Street strip has always had the friendliest service I have come across.
Lately I have been popping in here for post yoga brunch or juice and I haven’t been disappointed. They offer freshly made juices where you can pick up to four ingredients to make your drink. Coffees are also tasty.
During my last visit I ordered the avocado smash with Fetta, a perfectly runny poached egg and leek shavings on top. I had a real hankering for avocado that day and this hit the spot. The only element of the dish that I felt didn’t work was a tomato based salsa or relish served on the side. There was no need for this addition at all as the tomato flavours clashed completely with the avocado and Fetta. I left this untouched.
Sitting inside can get a bit noisy with the mid morning crowds so I usually try to grab a table outside. It’s a bit quieter and I’m always a fan of watching the world go by.

Great service, fantastic coffee and the risotto balls are always top notch! Salads are pretty great too!

This place was empty whilst all the cafes around it were busy. I am always up for something new, so I convinced my friends to give it a go. They all remembered this place as the Pantry Door.
The décor is brown and orange, but inside is has flashes of bright blue, that clash with the rest of the place. The staff were friendly and attentive and genuinely seemed happy to see us.
The menu is standard café fare with wraps, salads and cakes. One bite of the homemade cakes and pastries gives away they are homemade, with the right mix of texture and sweetness rustic style. The coffee was good. I hope that it was quiet due to an off day. I will be back and so will my friends.

I loved the Pantry Door so I was quite disappointed to hear it had left the premises. I tried the new Metrio & Co. recently, which has taken my old favorites place.
There is a very similar array of fresh salads, wraps, tarts and patties available — great options for take-​away lunches. The taste however doesn’t quite meet the mark like ol’ Pantry Door did. The salads in particular use unusual combinations of ingredients that just don’t mesh well together.
The new fit-​out is more spacious and dining friendly, and delightful German man works behind the counter. The coffee isn’t bad, but where Metrio really shines is in the sweets department. I have it on good authority that they are all baked on the premises and some have taken out medals at the Royal Show.
