Every year for my bday I get the September 7th cake oh my such a treat .. can't wait for October !!

...and what is lunch without a dessert? After eating lunch next door, we come here and are mesmerized by the offerings of treats. Muffins, cakes, coffees.. We loaded up on a selection of cookies to take home then settled in for a slice of cake. I went for the September Cake. It is a light chocolate cake filled with a whipped cream center. The cake is a very light cake with a mild chocolate flavor and not too rich. The frosting is very light and not over sweet, like a buttercream frosting maybe? The staff is polite and enthusiastic with a warm smile. There was plenty of seating available and the atmosphere was a welcoming one.

Last minute order for a birthday cake this was the only bakery that had what I wanted and they did a great job!

I came to Metropol on a Monday morning around opening and there were already people waiting outside which I took as a good sign! I've seen their pastries being sold at local coffee shops in the area so wanted to give them a try. They have a good amount of pastry and bread options as well as cakes and other desserts. The dessert case was a bit foggy/had some condensation on it so I couldn't see much, but a few cakes looked really nice. They also had food items like breakfast sandwiches and a lunch sandwich menu. I think a lot of people come here for their fresh baked bread loaves which I'm sure are great. I ended up getting a coffee and lemon raspberry muffin. The coffee was solid! They only offered 12, 16, and 20 oz sizes. The muffin was delicious. Strong lemon and raspberry flavor. Very sweet. I loved the glaze on top. Perfectly moist too. I took everything to go since it was a bit dark and musty in there. I don't think it's the type of place to sit down and do work. Metropol probably wont make my weekly coffee rotation but I would definitely come back for the muffin if I find myself in the mood!! Also the employee who took my order was extremely friendly and kind :)

I came to Metropol recently for a particular item - their Birdseed Multigrain bread. I haven't actually had this before, but was visiting a friend later that day who loves it (and lives outside of Eugene) so, I wanted to bring her a loaf. Unfortunately, they didn't have any out that morning. I was surprised since I was there only about an hour after they opened. One of the workers informed me that they were training a new baker, and believe they just ran out of time to make it that day. Bummer! However, the tides turned quickly when the other person working went back to check their day old stock and with some luck, there was one loaf left. "I'll take it!" Along with that, I purchased a whole wheat sourdough loaf and chocolate croissant. The croissant was gobbled up right away. Flaky, light, buttery, not greasy at all and a healthy amount of chocolate in there. Yum! We've also been joining the sourdough as toast in the morning for the past few days. Metropol's location is on the smaller side, maybe 5 or so tables, some along a large long wall bench one side of the space. No outside seating as it's part of a strip mall. The walls feature an eclectic collection of artwork with no real theme (maybe just what the owner likes), and I couldn't tell if the artwork was for sale or not like some cafes. The interior felt in need of a good deep cleaning in the customer space, at least. A lot of crumbs, etc. on the floor/tables left behind by patrons. I noticed a "Help wanted" sign still up in the door as we exited so maybe this has fallen behind on being short staff. Metropol is out of the way for me, so I likely won't be back soon. However, I would recommend it to anyone looking to pick up quality breads and baked goods.

Finally got here after having bookmarked todd plane for 3 years and dang- I've been missing out. I've been underwhelmed by local fave Sweet Life & this is the bakery for me: tender fresh interesting well done cake! We had coffee cake, September 10 (or some such day, bakers lucky kids birthday) cake, and a cookie with 3 americanos & all were smashing. And across from tsunami Next door to Viking braggart It's a trifecta of fun!

This was my first time, trying out the bakery, and I like it. I tried out a ham & cheese croissant, and it was delicious! I had just got a haircut ‍, and I was hungry. I also tried out their cream puffs, and they are huge! The chocolate is bitter and the cream is sweet! Very messy-not advised for a first date or work munching! Good service! Nice ambiance, but I was ordering to go, since I was waiting for a Lyft driver.
