Hello!
I founded MetroFresh with the notion that fresh, healthy, and creative food should not be out of reach for the casual diner. With a daily menu of soups, salads, sandwiches, breakfast entrees, “after work” small plates (Uptown), and dinner entrees (Midtown,) MetroFresh uses the freshest in-season ingredients, locally grown and organic when possible, to build unexpected flavor combinations you don’t often find at a fast-casual cafe.
Our mission has always been to create a friendly “oasis” where our guests can take a break from their hectic lives. “People are going to come for delicious, healthy food,” I told my original crew in 2005, “but they’ll come back because they had a great experience.”
You’ll notice alongside the “FOOD” below, a column of “THOUGHTS.” I’ve always believed MetroFresh would succeed because it’s a personal and communal experience. That very first day when I sent out a mass email with our daily menu, I began with a personal story about how I loved fresh food as a child. I’ve started every day after that writing down these random thoughts about food, family, and life. I’ve been doing it as a daily ritual for so many years I figure, why stop now? I hope you enjoy it. And I hope you come see us.
Mitchell Anderson, Founder and Creative Chef

We had such a nice brunch yesterday. With the sun shining brightly the patio was full of energy, helped along by our friend Ben Deignan, who came to play. He's decided he likes it so much on the MetroFresh Patio that he'll be there every Sunday for the month of March. Fun.
Folks! I love doing Lobster Roll Sundays. It really brings the people out. Now, sadly I have to tell you that those delicious lobster rolls are not deliciously profitable at the moment. Lobster meat is SUPER expensive right now. I can't charge the correct amount - it wouldn't be affordable for anyone. So as a special treat it's great, but for an ongoing special, not so much. Not to worry MetroFreshuals, I'm having fun creating a special special every week that you'll love just as much!
It's a glorious day out there today. Get out of the office and come see us. We're up and running full steam at both locations.
