Had the best matcha latte and can’t wait to come again! The place is tiny but cozy. Place was clean and you can play a game of chess! They have wifi and allow studying but they only have a few tables and places to sit. Still a hidden gem for those looking to try a new cafe! Wasn’t that busy when me and my boyfriend went there on a Saturday afternoon so finding a table wasn’t hard.

Visiting from Connecticut and this cappuccino seriously impressed me. Excellent coffee, and Vini the barista was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. Would absolutely come back.

Hannah St ★★★★

Local gem. Standard coffee shop drink menu and baked goods. There are large and individual tables with local artists works displayed along walls. Ceiling fans were going a bit strong during my visit.

Mercury Espresso is a charming little café with a great summer vibe! I had an iced cold brew that was excellent—smooth, refreshing, and perfect for the heat. That said, I did notice a fair number of small fruit flies hovering around the syrup and milk station, which was a bit off-putting. It might be worth the team looking into a solution like fly traps or one of those mini fan devices to help keep the area cleaner and more inviting. It’s quite a cute cafe overall, but cleanliness matters. Still, the coffee quality and overall vibe make it worth a visit. You could always get takeout!

So excited this Leslieville gem has opened a new location across from Sackville Playground on King. Same awesome coffee and friendly staff, calm and quiet patio with a view of the park. Great spot to sip, work, or bring the kids.
