Mercury Espresso Bar, Leslieville, Toronto

mercury expresso bar leslieville toronto

If you love organic coffee with a kick, good music and a casual vibe, check this place out. The bar is decked out in dark stained plywood with a white marble countertop. The back of the shop is covered with a black and yellow map grid of downtown Toronto. The lighting above the tables are home made and are really a smart idea to get some shades on a budget… single kitchen sink flipped upside down with a bulb sticking outta the drain. The menu is eclectic to say the least, and very unique. We sip on spicy white pepper espresso using fair trade beans and a hot apple as we listen to Cansei de Ser Sexy, Controller.Controller, and the latest Bloc Party.

    Even though I haven’t been there yet, I know Mercury is a great shop. Say “hey” to Nick if you see him working there, one of the best Barista’s in town.

    Ben, if you get a chance, I really recommend their selection of spiced espresso. I’m definitely hooked on them.
