Reviews for L'Espresso Bar Mercurio in Toronto, ON
I enjoyed an iced vanilla latte and a blueberry cheese danish. The service was quick (early afternoon on a Monday) and there was... ample seating. Read more
The quality control has unfortunately diminished including their espresso based drinks (#coffeegeeksknow!). Twice now since I?ve... been back after returning to the office, I?ve been so disappointed with the sandwich and worse my lattes. Sadly, I won?t be backas it is no longer worth what you pay for when there are many better options around the campus. Lunch options are limited tosandwiches of mediocre quality. Customer service is also no longer friendly. I don?t see the old manager and noticed a couplenew people. Though I recognized restaurant staff has a high turn over especially during the pandemic. New management perhaps?Either way, it?s unfortunate it?s no longer the place it used to be. I?ll move on as well. I also won?t be recommending thisplace for work related meetings. If it?s struggling due to the past lockdowns and the pandemic and hence the changes with thefood selections, it should try to maintain high quality on what?s currently being offered and provide that friendly service andatmosphere to bring back customers.

They don?t have plugs, but they have a nice shaded patio. They also have some tables by the Bloor St. The latte was good, a bit... pricey. Read more
After not visiting Bar Mercurio for a while, my experience was disappointing. The old menu is gone, and it?s a ?bar? service... cafe with a few sandwich and salad options. My beet salad was $14.95, packed in a small container and refrigerated. It containedleaves, a few slices of beets, cheese and nuts. The cappuccino wasn?t great. It felt more like a student cafeteria than thelovely cafe it once was. I?m curious if there was a change of ownership. Read more
They have the cutest little patio you can enter from inside. The coffee is great too
Cute cafe, but they have a bit of an identity crisis. When I went on a Saturday afternoon it wasn?t too busy. I get the feeling... it was built for a crowd, but I didn?t see it. For lunch the only food they have is what?s in the deli counter. There wereabout 6 types of sandwiches and pastries. A few of the sandwiches looked like they were drying out (egg salad and tuna salad). Ihad the roast beef. The bread tasted homemade. The sandwich itself was a bit dry. I also had the tiramisu which was great but$8. Many of their items were gluten free. I ordered an iced espresso beverage to dine in. All drinks are served in a genericpaper cup and come in one size. The prices were some of highest I paid in Toronto. The staff was friendly. What I wish is thatthey used their full kitchen. Offer sandwiches and salads made to order. They have a beautiful kitchen that?s under used. Itwould also be great if they offered different size beverages. Read more
Great coffee from a local business. Pretty busy , so there is sometimes a wait for a table. Reasonable prices for drinks and... food. Read more
Good for a quick lunch and coffee stop or to meet people. It?s a convenient location and well placed on the edge of the UofT... campus. Service has a bit of an attitude, but not enough to not like it. The water in the tea is nice and hot (unlikeStarbucks). They are used to regulars who know their menu and service so if you?re new or relatively new here, ask. Read more
