Mercury Cafe - San Francisco, California

I love the vibe of this place, unpretentious and raw, friendly, community oriented, true SF! They serve Four Barrel coffee, and I got a Big City pour over. The indoor area is spacious, good sandwich menu, free WiFi (no outlets though), and baristas are nice and kind.
There is a big outdoor parklet area, but considering the neighborhood, sit on your own risk there 🫣
I know there are Thursday jazz nights there, I would recommend checking your local musicians out.

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 🙁

Definitely the best scones I have ever tried in my life, kinda proud of myself I discovered this hidden gem for scones 😅 if you are lucky enough your coffee will be served and made by wonderful barista who spent a night at techno rave prior to the shift (at least this is what my imagination whispers)

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!

Smells very bad inside, slow service, they often don't remember to bring you all the items you order unless you go back and ask. Food is very overpriced.

Coffee is good but not worth it

Edit to reply:
I was there yesterday 12/30/2024
I ordered sandwich, soup, and salad and did not receive salad. My sandwich took 20 minutes to come out and was cold. I spent $62 for 2 sandwiches, a soup, and 2 coffees. Coffee was great, food was bad, whole place smelled like piss and trash

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 ☺️

Have been coming here for years now and their avocado sandwich is my go to as a vegetarian. Make sure to get the salad on the side. The dressing is so good.
The team is great and the vibes are always good.

Definitely a great coffee shop to check out. The espresso drinks are amazing, and their Thursday evening jazz nights are lots of fun
