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

The good thing about having a day job that gets you out of bed before "dawns early light," is that getting up early is no biggie. In case you're just tuning in and need a quick recap, I am in NYC shooting season three of my Amazon Prime digital series, AFTER FOREVER. This is shoot day number 3 and I have a relatively late 7:15am call on the upper east side. I set my alarm for a luxurious 5:30 which gave me plenty of time for a cup of coffee, a bowl of serial and a shower so that I can walk to set (one of my favorite things about New York is walking everywhere.) But I couldn't even sleep until 5:30! I woke up and was making coffee before 5.
Actually, this is nice because in addition to working on a TV show, I am still running a business, so I had all this extra time to do some of my usual Monday bookkeeping AND write a little note to y'all. A quick glance at the clock on my computer currently says 6:02!
Tio Miguel is back in the kitchen for the next two weeks making the menu so you'll get to enjoy someone else's soups and salads for a little while. Come see us and have a good day. If I have time I'll keep checking in.
If you need anything from either store get in touch with Mandy@metrofreshatl.com for Midtown and Tiffanie@metrofreshatl.com for Uptown.
