Mercury Cafe

Today was our first time frequenting this cafe. Portishead and Blonde Redhead were playing, so you know this business has excellent taste. When I considered what to order, they had just popped some fresh turmeric cheddar scones from the oven. I had to try it. It was crispy on the outside yet soft and fluffy on the inside, and oh, so cheddar buttery and delicious! I've never had a better scone. Wi-Fi is available, but no outlets are available. I appreciate having no outlets available since that meant I had to be judicious about my time. I love the vibe of this cafe.

A long wait but definitely worth it--more so for the food than drinks. Seemed to have only one person working the counter. My sister got the iced latte that was very milky. A friend got the iced mocha which was a lot better. I had the lemon ginger tea which needed more ginger...We got the avocado toast with bacon and it was really yummy! Also came with lemon to sprinkle on top of my toast. Friend got the tuna melt and devoured that. Waited about 15-20 minutes for everything but would definitely come back.

UPDATEI got an incredibly rude message from Nick from Mercury Cafe. This is completely unprofessional. I am entitled to my opinion like everyone on Yelp, was just sharing my thoughts.ORIGINAL REVIEW (3 stars):I ordered a Vanilla latte ($6). It was not too sweet. It tasted very milked and watered down. I tried my friend's cortado and it had more flavor. Maybe it depends on the barista! The interior is so nice. When you walk in, you swing open a large wooden door. Each table has a small mason jar with fresh flowers. The light baby blue color seats contrasting with the white walls makes me think of Greece! The interior feels like the exterior of a European city, if that makes any sense. All the artwork is very interesting to look at. Also they said they would have a Jazz night on Thursday evening, but when we went to check, they were closed. I wish they would update customers on social media or through some other means.

Such a cute cafe!! the books, the posters, the music, the people reading and playing board games and talking is so amazing. We shared this breakfast for two people with some coffee and the service was so kind and speedy. owner nick was there to greet us and make sure we were doing well. will go back soon to try one of their fresh scones!

Food and quality is good, my issue is with their false advertising on the website. I ordered over the phone going off their online menu, it said my sandwich would be 12.95 with a 3$ bacon addition expecting around a 16$ sandwich i was charged 21$+ and saw completely different menu pricing inside. Also very inconsistent pricing on that menu aswell it said 5$ to add bacon to a sandwich under the sandwich but if you look at the other side where it says addition it said meat is only a 4$ addition, is bacon not considered meat or am i missing something? Also they said they wouldn't serve me a side of potatoes because they only do that on weekends.

Very underwhelmed by my turkey sandwich. The bread was quite dry, and usually I'm a pretty uncritical consumer of turkey sandwiches, but this one just didn't work for me. The service was also pretty slow, and we got a scone that my boyfriend liked but I thought was only okay.Spot feels old school and worn in, I could see this being a cozy spot to play board games (and we were sitting next to a pretty intense game) where the food is a convenient afterthought, but not a place to go just for food.

lovely neighborhood cafe! They sometimes have live music, and the staff members are friendly too and give super adorable latte art. I'd say the quality of coffee isn't the best, but I very much adore the ambiance :)

Mercury CafeSpending the Sunday morning working on some projects with a couple friends. Found this cute little coffee shop on the corner. There didn't seem to be any outlets and the wi-fi wasn't the fastest, but it was still a great place to meet up for coffee and get some work done!I got the Weekend Brunch (14.50): Egg McMercury with organic yellow potatoes roasted with garlic, rosemary, and extra virgin olive oil and a Vanilla Latte (4.50). The weekend brunch was really filling, the potatoes were very flavorful and the Egg McMercury was fantastic. The combination of bread, cheese, tomato, and egg made for a filling and tasty meal! Don't usually drink coffee, but the vanilla latte was too good to pass up. I finished the latter within minutes of getting it! Glad the group chose this place to meet!

This is definitely a local spot; lots of seating, and gives a strong 90s vibes. Probably a great place to grab a coffee and catch up with a friend! I got a flat white to go, and it really was bad. Extremely light roast on the beans meant a very very sour drink, where it simply dominated any other notes possible in the drink. The construction of the flat white itself was fairly decent; good layer of steamed milk, and the ratios made for a creamy drink. I just really couldn't get over the sourness of the beans.Personally wouldn't be coming back for the drink!

I stayed at an AB&B near the Mercury cafe for three days. I wanted breakfast and coffee and tried this place. It's eclectic and cozy inside. It wasn't overwhelming crowded, which is so refreshing!! I became completely obsessed with the fresh blueberry lemon and mixed berry scones during my stay in the neighborhood. I was still in east coast time so I would usually be the first one there when the scones were still hot! Absolutely amazing. I got them every morning for my family. I also got a Big City(?) coffee which was bold, strong and delightful! Here I am, a month later still thinking about those scones.
