Mercury Espresso Bar
- 915 Queen St. E. (at Carlaw Ave.) • View on map »
- 647-435-4779
This outpost for the Leslieville creative class boasts hip (if a little loud) music, fashionable baristas and an artfully gritty design—think kitchen sinks repurposed as lamp shades and advertising for made-to-measure leather coats (left by a previous tenant of the premises) on the window. The coffee is reliably good and well priced: an espresso is $2, a double $3. In warmer months, a side patio relieves pressure on the five tables inside. Free Wi-Fi.
