Avocado Toast - 4 stars. Tasty. Bread was soft and fresh. Dill and red onion was a nice touch. Sun lunch 2025-02-09
Ziyan C.

Great local spot, no-frills, good coffee, solid food, and jazz music 11am-1pm Sundays! Not sure how regular the music is, but we saw our friend perform there in February and it was a great way to spend an afternoon. A couple families met up, all in all we had 3 young kids. Mercury Cafe isnt specifically kid-friendly in that there were no coloring sheets, crayons, etc, but I dont necessarily expect that from a cafe. But people seemed fine with somewhat loud kids running around, even though a lot of them were sitting and working on their laptops. * Avocado Toast - 4 stars. Tasty. Bread was soft and fresh. Dill and red onion was a nice touch. * Latte - 3.5 stars. I thought this was pretty good, with a nice thick foam from the milk. My partner got a cappuccino and describes it as a "Middle of the road 3rd wave cappuccino, 3.5 stars."

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!

UPDATE I 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.

Mercury Cafe Spending 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!

Avocado Toast

Charming neighbourhood coffee with a very homie atmosphere. The coffee is excellent - espresso uses high quality beans and machine. It's a pay at the cashier spot and service was quite good. The avocado toast was really great (good proportion avocado vs bread and well seasoned. Their house special breakfast was also delicious with their house biscuit. Cool vibe

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 :)

What a neighborhood gem! The scones here are some of the best I've ever had. Don't sleep on it, because I've seen these scones sell out as early as ~9:30am on multiple occasions. I recommend coming here to order an egg McMercury for a casual brunch, visit Wednesday evenings for live jazz, enjoy the outdoor seating on a sunny day, or simply to enjoy an utterly delicious scone.

Avocado Toast with Bacon

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.

Fresh warm Scones!!!

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.

This is probably the only place where the sandwiches don't taste like the store's essence…read more I mean, don't get me wrong, a store's essence from any given deli/liquor store definitely adds unique character to the sandwich and sometimes I want that in a sandwich. But when you want a sandwich that only tastes like its ingredients, Irving Subs is the spot. Their Dutch crunch is famous for being fresh and actually crunchy. Their lettuce is shredded but fresh and crispy. The salt content is just enough to bring out the flavors. And the overall composition of their sandwiches are very well proportioned. You're not getting skimped, but you're also not biting into a mouthful of a packet of deli meat. They definitely know what they are doing. Service is good and ambiance is a small humble shop on the corner of 12th Ave.

Ordered the Nearly Reuben on sliced sourdough, toasted, with house garlicky mayo and brown mustard…read moreon DoorDash. Double pastrami, horseradish, havarti, lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, pickles, and pepperoncini. A lot going on, and it all came together. The horseradish and havarti gave it enough personality to stand apart from a standard pastrami sandwich, and the garlicky mayo tied everything together. The one casualty of DoorDash was sogginess by the time it arrived. That's not a knock on the sandwich, it's just the reality of ordering something like this for delivery. At $14.50 it's a hearty sandwich at a fair price. I'd recommend it, but eat in.

Most of us got the "Call Me Serge" which included roasted turkey, bacon, cheddar + Gouda, arugula, and a Calabrian chili orange jam, rosemary ranch, and creamy avocado-lime vinaigrette spread. It was warm and delicious! I think I would've left the arugula off next time as it tasted strong with the jam (but that's me with a sensitivity to arugula). I will definitely return to try something different to bring to my next Dolores picnic!

A very hip setting, well stocked with good beer and expertly curated grocery items. Charming and kind employees with wonderful ambience. Limited outdoor seating available . Scores BIG in all areas. Suitable for the Culinary Cognoscente. WOW! Now dats da real deal..... A better SAMWICH is not known to mankind! Insane in the membrane. Insane. My daughter suggested we drive over the bridge from Marin for lunch. She's been raving about it for months. I was a neophyte. Here's what we devoured: VEGAN SANDO #45 caramelized yellow gypsy peppers + fennel, melted sungold tomatoes, saffron rouille + caper salsa verde on acme green onion slab (TOASTED) $16 ------- LADY GIANA caramelized eggplant, basil, mozzarella, fontina charred tomato arrabbiata + garlic potato chips on acme focaccia garlic bread (SERVED HOT) $16.50 ---------- FYI: I selected in my brain my next visit order: GOBHI BRYANT $16.50 generously spiced cauliflower * potato, oaxacan cheese. tomato-tamarind chutney, minted snow peo yogurt raila. fried cashews + curry leaves on ome green onion slab (SERVED HOT) ----------------------------- Certainly the best sandwich I've ever had in my life, and I've been around a few decades.
