We went on a Friday around 9 am, and it was very busy. We did wait a few minutes for our order to be taken, and took about 5 minutes for our coffee to be made. There was a good selection of hot and cold options, and there were minimal pastries left to choose from (outside of cookies, there was a single cinnamon roll left). I got a cold brew with sugar free vanilla syrup and a splash of milk. Overall the cold brew was so bitter, I had a hard time drinking it. The coffee shop had a cozy aesthetic and they have a great patio for outside seating. I did not try any of the hot coffee/latte options, so my visit maybe an anomaly to the overall options at this shop. If you're looking for a cold brew, there are other, less bitter options in the area. read more

Mercies Coffee - Cold brew - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

Very convenient location if you need a place to hang out before heading to the airport. We got a drip coffee and matcha latte. If you order a coffee for here, you get a free refill, which is nice. The barista said I had to order the 16oz for this perk but the mug is actually ~12oz, so I think that was a mistake. The place is very cute with uplifting messages/art and has plenty of seating for studying or catching up with a friend. Great ambiance. read more

Great experience! The staff were friendly and welcoming, making the visit even more enjoyable. While they don't offer online ordering, the service was quick and efficient. The drink options are fantastic and priced very reasonably compared to other local spots. I ordered the brown sugar iced latte with oat milk and a sprinkle of nutmeg -- it was delicious. The atmosphere at Mercies is beautiful and fun, with elegant décor and a spacious layout that makes it a great place to relax or work. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, which is a nice bonus, and parking is super easy with plenty of spots available. I will definitely be back here! read more

Almond croissant was crispy and not too sweet which I loved. The butter pecan latte was very good as well, I'll be ordering it half sweet next time! The best part of this place is the customer service - everyone is so kind and welcoming. Good amount of indoor/outdoor seating as well, just wish there were more outlets for working :) read more

Mercies Coffee is a wonderful cafe on the east side of Madison. The decor is bright and inviting, and the staff are approachable and extremely friendly! Oftentimes, cafes either excel at their drinks or their food. Mercies provided both food and drinks of phenomenal quality. Their pour over and hot latte were delicious, and we enjoyed their broccoli cheddar soup with sourdough toast/cheddar biscuit. The only downside, is that when the cafe is busy, you may not get a seat near an outlet if you're working remote and need to charge your devices. read more

I had an exceptional turkey and bacon sandwich which came with the best chicken and rice soup I've ever had! All paired with a hot brown-sugar latte. I don't give coffee shops FIVE-STARS because of their food and drink alone so it says a lot about the ambience and staff. Thanks Mercies for an enjoyable afternoon! read more

I stopped into Mercie's while on a recent trip to Madison. First of all, thank you for being open early! It should be illegal to own a coffee shop and open at 8PM or later and thankfully Mercie's opens up nice and early on weekdays and was a great early morning stop. I ordered a cup of their dark roast coffee that was delicious and also ordered one of their breakfast toasts. The toast is a thick cut of sourdough bread and is topped with peanut butter, bananas, homemade granola and a drizzle of honey. This is a fork and knife sort of toast and is absolutely dynamite. Packed with flavor and freshness, this is the sort of toast you could eat every single day and never grow tired of it. Mercie's has a great, hip vibe to it and is the kind of place that you could fire up the laptop, enjoy some coffee and get some work done. All in all, an excellent spot! One I will certainly be back to when in Madison next! read more

Warm and friendly vibe, staff was polite and my egg salad sandwich was AMAZING! Fresh and dilly on Stalzy's sourdough. I will be back!

Mercies was certainly a hidden gem for me! I am always over there for the Princeton Club or passing by it to go to Hobby Lobby or Target. I never really noticed it until recently. I am currently studying for my bar exam as I just graduated from UW's law school and have been wanting to take this as an opportunity to try out cafes/coffee shops in the Madison area. I live on the east side so it was very fitting I start over there. The place was SO CUTE. There was a couch area with a cute little fire pit. It was not on but I imagine it can be turned on; it seemed to be electric. They get some options from Madison Sourdough for bread and I ordered a breakfast sandwich that came with sourdough bread. It was DIVINE! It was also the first time in a long time that I got a cute little design on my coffee so I loved that. I was able to get comfortable and get some studying done for a couple of hours. It was very relaxing. The only downside I have is that I wish there was a bit larger/different selection of baked goods and breakfast meals. Maybe I am just picky though. . . read more

What drew me here was their mission statement - fighting human trafficking within Madison and the state of Wisconsin. It was clean, open and bright, and felt cozy as well (there's a fireplace if you're lucky enough to grab a seat by it!). It seems like a fantastic spot for studying or catching up with a friend. The prices are just slightly above average for some of their menu items, however, the food/drink we had was delicious. read more

Love the staff and owner! Nice local spot with coffee made with passion (other drinks and pastries). Great for meets up or just a place to collect your thoughts.

Mercies Coffee - Refreshing! - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Madison, Wisconsin

I dropped into Mercie's a week or so ago, while I was hungry and undercaffeinated. Immediately stepping in the doors, it was a welcoming, nice environment and atmosphere. I grabbed a latte and a few of the breakfast options (breakfast burrito and beef sandwich). The latte was so delicious, with tasty espresso! The sandwich and burrito were also tasty, with great, local ingredients (Stalzy's bread...yes!). The mission behind Mercies is also great. They are looking to bring awareness and dollars to awareness of sex trafficking in the Madison and Wisconsin area. They work with local non-profits to bring awareness to the cause. Overall, solid experience and I will surely be back! read more

PARKING: There is a decent size parking lot, so it should be easy to find parking. ATMOSPHERE/SPACE: It has a vintage, industrial, bookish vibe to it. Typical of popular cafes. It is the typical size of a local cafe, so I wouldn't recommend having too large of a party but maybe up to 6 would be okay because there is a larger section in the back. You can also reserve that room which is something you might consider. FOOD: I have tried the Turkey Chipotle & Roast Beef sandwiches, the Pumpkin Latte with oat milk, the Berry Good smoothie, the Salted Maple Latte, and their chocolate chip cookie. The menu and drinks are typical of a cafe. There are mainly sandwiches, coffee, and a small selection of baked goods (cookies, muffins, etc.) They also have smoothies if you're not into coffee. I am usually not a coffee drinker, but the lattes were just the right temperature, so they were easy to drink and enjoy. I enjoyed the Salted Maple more than the Pumpkin. The sandwiches themselves were good. Nicely toasted, fresh, simple, and flavorful, but nothing super special. The smoothie was light and had that "healthy" feel that fresh smoothies tend to have. The cookie is meant to be eaten with coffee or a drink, but it isn't too dry either, so it is still easy to eat on its own. OVERALL: The service is decent and seems to be a hotspot for locals. My first attendance (Mon @10am) was not busy but the second time was (Fri @11:30am). My wait wasn't long and it was nice to sit and work. I did feel pressured to finish quickly because it was busy, but it has potential to be a nice location to do schoolwork/projects. It is not a location I would regular since it can get quite busy and I am not a consistent coffee drinker. However, my experience was still decent and I would like to try their smoothies and other items. I would recommend giving this spot a try and see how you like it. read more

Great coffee shop! The workers were friendly and the place was clean, bright, and airy. I was going to get a breakfast sandwich but they ran out of biscuits. I had to sub for croissant and it was so good! The pumpkin pie latte was delicious! Barely sweet at all which was fine with me. Unfortunately I had to take my food to go since I had my toddler with me. I'm definitely coming back in the near future. read more

Great coffee shop on the east side. Good coffee and customer service. Fireplace is cozy. Outdoor patio for warm weather.

Their signature sandwich was great. While the red pepper jam wasn't my favorite, it just might be yours. And if you're already waiting for an order, definitely give the pour over coffee a try even though it's dollar more than drip. Overall, I was thoroughly impressed with the fare and service. I will be adjusting my routine to find excuses to go again -- probably late morning weekdays, which wasn't crowded even on a Friday before a holiday. read more

First things first, wow! The place looks amazing! It's more of a cool, modern look that contrasts highly with the prior decor but it looks more like home to me so I'm happy with it; some may feel differently. From the moment I walked in I felt welcome. I talked to the owner, whose name I think I remember but I'm not going to take that chance on a public review, for a little bit before sitting down and as I was leaving and I was impressed not only by her business sense but her humanitarian side as well. Heck, after I had sat down with my coffee she asked if I like peanut butter chocolate and gave me a complimentary cookie. Those two items alone could prop up this new business. I highly recommend you stop in for a treat and maybe a chat and I'll be recommending the same to everyone I know who loves coffee (that's everybody right?). read more

Very nice local coffee shop with outdoor patio. Good coffee and bakery and other food. I appreciate comfy seating rather than metal chairs at the tables. Could use a bit more as the sofa is always occupied and the side soft chairs not that comfy (honestly). The only drawback from my perspective is a the beat-heavy pop music a little too loud - maybe it's an age thing ‍. Though on a nice day it is possible to retreat to the patio outside. read more

First of all I'd like to thank the owner Mallory for always accommodating me and letting me spend HOURS here. Drinks: Coffee - amazing (Nursing student who LIVES off of GOOD coffee). Side note, I know some reviews are commenting on the price, I feel that the menu shows the charges? Matcha - amazing (I'm from Hawaii and I'm asian lol. 10/10 on the matcha). Smoothies - great. The perfect blend of sweet and healthy. Food: If you are like me and have no self-control, don't do it. The food is yummy. Staff: They all seem to love their jobs and are always laughing and smiling. Not once have I ever heard of complaints about customer service. (I'm here all the time... explain later) I've also noticed that they make it a habit to memorize their customer's name and treat them more than just a number. Mallory seems like a good boss to work for and treats her employees and customers with absolute respect. Ross - I feel like he helps Mallory RUN this place. He ensures a good flow of the shop. Maya - Beautiful smile and personality Corey - Always chipper Kaitlyn with the awesome hair - Great Barista! Atmosphere: This is what kept me coming back. I'm in Wisconsin for the summer, and I need a place to study and focus without feeling rushed out the door. I also needed a place that wasn't too noisy and not too packed. There are all sorts of tables and bar tops that people can study/work at. As a student, I can study for 6+ hours at one time in one spot. There's a couch, and other comfy chairs, too if you want that nice comfort/work balance. Again, the staff never made me feel uncomfortable being there. read more

Clean and bright, small-menu cafe with coffee and non-coffees. This review has 4 stars but we ordered and carried out. I expect it to deserve a 5, had we stayed to eat in, but i wasn't there very long. The breakfast sandwich was delicious. The selections are on the lighter side and healthy. I'm also a sucker for, and thankful to see more places offering a matcha latte(almond or oat.) The hours start at 6am, which is also a bonus in my book as an early riser. Slightly on the pricey side for the small sandwiches to be upfront, but the matcha is good. I look forward to going back. maybe i'll sit at a table this time. This is the type of place I'd love to be a regular at. read more
