Best scones in the city! This cafe is a favorite of mine.

There is live music at some moments, I really love it.
David Chew
Nice, light-filled vibes on a street corner. Coffee was pretty average, though.
Katrina Salinas
Fresh scones are so good.
Marian Poley
Definitely a great coffee shop to check out. The espresso drinks are amazing, and their Thursday evening jazz nights are lots of fun

Food took over half an hour to arrive. Love the location but don’t order anything more complicated than a coffee or you’re SOL.
Edit in response to owner: we ordered two unmodified egg dishes, staff never said it would take a while. Food seemed to be taking a long time for all guests.

Local independent cafe! Everything is good. - I usually get their cold brew or drip coffee. And they also serve alcohol.
I live in the neighborhood and love the sporadic concerts they have - I would welcome more of that :)

Delicious breakfast sandwiches, scones, and chai latte. Wish I had found this spot earlier!
Staff was not friendly and was not helpful with my allergy concerns

Whenever I come to San Francisco, this is my go-to-cafe for excellent coffee, tasty food, and a comfortable workspace. Mercury brews modern tasting third-wave coffee, makes solid pour overs, and serves egg dishes, avocado toasts, great sandwiches and scones. However, it also feels like a traditional 80s-90s San Francisco cafe with informal service, a worn in look, and used books lying around. It's pretty charming. I also like the employees, who seem to be artists and musicians. The music is usually quite interesting. If you are looking for cutting edge coffee and contemporary cafe food with an old-school San Francisco feel, look no further!
Vegetarian options: The avocado toast and avocado and vegetable sandwiches are great.
Highly highly recommend!! This place is so dang nice! I love coming here to write, listen to jazz, and enjoy the extremely pleasant ambiance. This is a classic SF cafe, not crazy busy, not trying to jump on the hype train, just serving fantastic coffee, tasty treats, and homey meals. The staff are all kind and friendly, adding to the already cozy atmosphere.
Additionally, they might have one of the best espresso I’ve had in SF.
Pour les français, cette café est super! Si vous êtes une touriste et vous voulez voir une vraie cafe San Franciscaine, voici un café pour vous!!
