Great for instant photo, I took a photo for OPT and it took 4-5 mins. I received both physical and digital copies for this.

Best place to get a passport photo. Quick, professional, friendly, and cheap. The shop itself has very eclectic, Berkeley vibes, and seems locally owned, which I prefer so much to the sterile Walgreens vibe.

Frank (the owner) is a lovely and sweet person. I went there twice, 1) to take my visa photo, 2) to print pamphlets for my organization. He knew in details the requirement for Schengen visa photo and poof the process was only 10 minutes! The pamphlets he printed were high-quality! On top of the quality of his works, Frank is indeed an extraordinary person.My organization runs biodiversity conservation programs with local community in Sulawesi, Indonesia (where I am from), and I could feel at my heart how Frank deeply cares about wildlife and notably people. I planned to print business cards, but because my wallet was lost, I was short in money and only able to print the pamphlets. After learning that I will use them for my presentation in advocating the communities, he then printed some business cards for free for me. I was so touched. I am an international student and he gave me advice on how to be careful in Berkeley. Definitely, this Metro Publishing is a gem, and Frank is definitely someone who is loving and caring about people.

One of the few places that actually know and care about how to take passport photos. Highly recommend.

I took my 5 years old daughter to Metro Publishing to have her passport photo taken. Frank at the store was very professional, he took many shots to get a good one out of a wiggly child! He was so patient and kind with my daughter; helping her focusing on the task. The photos came out great. I highly recommend Metro Publishing if you need a nice looking photo for ID :-)

I got my home country’s ID photo taken here. The owner is super friendly and helpful. Offered my hair pins and carefully made sure it conforms to the requirements (It took three times for us to make it right as the requirements are unnecessarily strict, the owner was very helpful every time I got back with new additional requirement). Highly recommend this place!

They are very efficient during these COVID times. I was in and out here to have my passport photo taken.I called in to give them a heads up that I would be coming in. They practiced all the safe guidelines. They only allow one person inside at a time. The perk here is that he took 3 different types of photos and gave me the option to select which one I preferred.Parking was easy on a weekday afternoon.Too: give a quick call before you go in.

Incredibly friendly and efficient for passport pictures! He helped me pick the best image, used a DSL, and had a mirror and system all ready to go. The wait was less than 10 minutes to get the pictures immediately. Absolutely recommend!!

By far my favorite small business for printing. Great prices and quick services. The owner is very sweet and kind. He's been in business for over 30 years and knows what he is doing. Truly a gem for Berkeley and the Bay Area. My photos are for a double-sided print job with plastic binding.

Incredible, professional service. I got photos taken for passport/visa photo purposes three times with Frank at Metro Publishing, and I never had to worry about the formatting of the photos. Overall, an excellent place to get photos taken.
