We visited Meta Cafe as it reopened and it was an amazing time. The maple sausage egg sandwich was amazing and so was the the cali sandwich! The latte was also very delicious, especially because not everywhere has decent coffee. Staff was amazing and very pleasant. Would definitely recommend this spot!

Hands down the greatest place in town for a breakfast sandwich or lunch. Great people, great ingredients and creative flavors (try the lattes!). Get there early before they sell out!

The new owners are incredibly kind people, as well as the staff - they know their customers by name and treat you like friends. My boyfriend said his egg sandwich was genuinely the best he's ever had. He ordered the chorizo, and I had avocado toast with eggs on GF bread (and added hot honey), which was also amazing. The latte flavors were great and I was very happy they had almond milk. We absolutely loved it here and wish we lived closer!

Happened to eat in on their first day with new management and everyone couldn't have been nicer. The avocado toast and breakfast sandwich were delicious and the iced tea was great. Looking around, all of the customers seemed to be enjoying their morning coffees and the space Meta Cafe provided.

This place is legit. No bullshit experience for a great morning bite. Small inside but some seating and just really great food. Clearly a family run business and the sandwiches are to die for! This was my second time here and each time we were made to feel like regulars and my sandwich was incredibly done for a great price. Highly recommend and will be back!

We stopped by this cozy cafe yesterday, and it was a delight - under new ownership, the vibe is warm and welcoming. The Cali egg sandwich was delicious and so satisfying! I also loved the strawberry iced matcha - so refreshing on a hot summer morning. A perfect place to start the day!

The coffee and sandwich I had were great. They have a little area with high chairs that you can sit at outside. Very cute and lock the old school lever coffee machine
