The place is unsanitary. The circled black spot on the mug was some dirt that was not coffee or anything similar. I wiped it with my thumb in front of the worker. Disgusting. BTW the mug in the picture is UNTOUCHED. That’s how I got it. Crazy, right?
About coffee. It’s your average gas station drip $1.50 coffee but for 7 dollars.
I also was sent back to break my $50 in the neighbourhood cause they only take cash if it’s less than 20
I was gonna leave a 1 star until I found a true gem here: books. The back shelf has a lot of very very good stuff: Turgenev? Vonnegut? Goethe? From utilitarianism to three musketeers. Ridiculous. Cool art for sale too.

I rarely leave reviews, but $16 (before tax and tip so closer to $20 actually) for 1 avocado with 1 egg on top and a little tomato is quite ridiculous. I have celiac disease so I can’t eat gluten (bread) and they didn’t have many options for me so I had to pay about $5 extra to sub for avocado when they could’ve just been accommodating knowing how small it is. Also no outlets??

This is a vibes and cold brew review only.
I was moved to write a review and sit down for half my drink because they were playing an entire Interpol album and the cold brew was fantastic, even if a dollar or two expensive.
Great atmosphere, great tasting cold brew (above average for the Bay). 4 Stars because, glancing at the entire menu and seeing some of the pictures in other reviews, this place’s pricing is somewhat significantly off even for SF.

Super cute cafe, good wifi, was not super busy on a Monday midday. However the coffee took 20-30 mins to come and the avocado toast was a bit stale. I’m not sure that the food was really worthwhile. The coffee was nice, $6.50 for a vanilla latte. Staff were nice but not super friendly 🙁

So cute and cozy. Lots of books scattered throughout the place to read and great art. They have a piano for the occasional jazz night. Delicious pour over. Really tasty sandwiches with fresh bread. Overall, a really tasteful and tasty place to visit!

Great spot for some tasty coffee and treats. I love the vibe in here, the seating and the quality. The patio is excellent even though it’s near Octavia’s business.

I would give this place 6 stars if it were possible. This place is the quintessential neighborhood cafe with an overdose of feel good from the decor, the location, the interiors, well curated books and just random snippets of wisdom scattered heartily all over the cafe! I got their blueberry lemon scone along with coffee. But I could see people around me savoring the huge sandwiches these guys specialize in. A must visit in SF ☺️

Love this place. Best scones I’ve ever had, terrific cappuccino, and the cafe is a little magical somehow. When I’m having a bad day, I picture myself at Mercury Cafe

Came with some friends, we tried the Egg McMercury and the brunch combo, as well as a couple drinks. Overall, I’d say the drinks here are the highlight. Generously sized and well executed. No complaints at all.
The morning I came, it looked like the food orders were pretty stacked up. Not sure how many people were on staff to prepare food, but it looked like it was resting on the shoulders of a few poor individuals, which I truly felt for.
The McMercury and brunch version were interesting. I’m making a guess here that the poached eggs were done in ramekins or some kind of mold. They were closer to a medium poached and are served on biscuits that were, for my taste, large but a little dry. Breakfast potatoes on the side were decent.
Despite the order queue, I’d say we got our food and drinks pretty quickly. Customer service was also good, despite the rush. Will definitely come back for the drinks, but might make some different choices for my next food picks.

I really wanted to like this place, but my experiences here have been consistently negative. As a Black patron, I’ve often been ignored while waiting in line, and when I do get acknowledged, I’m met with rude or dismissive responses from staff — things like “what?” or “I’m busy” when I’m simply trying to order.
It’s disheartening to feel brushed off and unwelcome in a neighborhood spot that should be open and friendly to everyone. As both a community member and a school administrator at a nearby school, I cannot recommend this coffeeshop, especially for people of color who may not feel respected here. There are plenty of other places in the area where kindness and good service are part of the experience. Sadly, I won’t be coming back.
