Mercury Espresso Bar just recently celebrated their 5th Anniversary.
I hadn’t been in for a while and was very pleased to see they’d renovated since my last visit. The new layout moved the coffee counter to the back of the space opposite the large storefront windows which are now freed-up for individual seating. Though, if you do plan on staying to enjoy your beverage you best have a musical appreciation for mid to late 90s D.C. hardcore and the like. There ain’t no easy-F%CKIN’-listening soundtrack here. Just face- melting ear-splitting RAWK at a volume that only the heartiest/ hipsterist Leslieville stroller-pushers will brave.So I’d hear about this new coffee shop in Leslieville and decided to check it out a while ago.
The barista at Te Aro made me this kick-ass latt?? with a rosetta so solid it damn near imprinted itself on the bottom of the mug. Now that’s craftsmanship!
Check out Te Aro online or in-person – I recommend the latter…and the latt??. (Ha! – Did you see what I did there? Did ya? Did ya?…yeah I’m lame.)
