Mercury Espresso Bar

The staff is super friendly and always welcoming. The coffee is great (latte) and the hot cinnamon buns which are only available weekend mornings are beyond amazing.

I love this cozy cafe. Best coffee in the east end; mercury cold brew season is among us!!!

Music was pumping at 8am on a Sunday. I asked for a sweet iced coffee, they added some vanilla. They had some cookies and stuff. Cold cream and simple syrup you add yourself. Fun environment with some Dino toys on the table.

A very good, strong flat white 💪

Very good coffee, and nice atmosphere to chill on a quiet morning. Good coffee bean selection too, if you want to buy some to make at home.

8 months ago (Sep-2023 ish) it was a 5 star, the quality of the coffee has really gone downhill. Won't be back

Nice coffee here! I got an iced latte, love it! 💗

I guess we encountered the rude cashier that people are mentioning. She became totally exasperated when I asked a couple questions about the menu even though there wasn’t even anyone waiting behind us. Then she rang up our drink wrong which isn’t even a big deal but she blamed me for it instead of just ringing it up properly. The barista was nice, but we won’t bother returning.

We go in to the Leslieville location all the time. I also visit the new location on King on the weekend sometimes, too. What I noticed is that the staff at the King location are so friendly and some of the staff at the Leslieville location aren’t very friendly. We buy coffee, pasties and even get our beans from Leslieville every two weeks, so we spend a good amount of money there. The coffee is good - I give you that. This morning though I went to Leslieville, and had a lovely conversation with the cashier (as I said SOME staff). I did initially say I wanted one drink and quickly corrected myself to get another and then specified I wanted oat milk in the new drink. I could have confused the cashier here and I own that. When I got the drink it didn’t have any and a splash on top is totally fine with me, so it was no big deal. I normally wouldn't make a fuss about a mix up. But it was the barista's attitude that rubbed me the wrong way. I asked about the oat milk and instead of being like "Oh sorry about that" she says "Next time ask for it in the beginning." I felt sorta called out because I HAD asked for it in the beginning when I corrected my order. I was given oat milk to put on top which is fine and I played it cool. But i left upset because I felt like I had to defend myself. I worked in the service industry for a decade and also as a barista having the same thing happen to me with a customer and I would never treat someone the way I got treated I would have been way more polite. Lucky that the area has a lot of other places I could go where their staff treats me well, so I'll be buying elsewhere from now on.

I guess it’s one of those fancy coffee spots. I didn’t like my hot chocolate at all and unfortunately their small selections of baked goods were sold out. The person who helped us was very friendly. In terms of atmosphere, it was crazy got inside but has a quiet and calm vibe. Not a lot of searing available.
