Mercury Cafe - Kitchener

at the cozy cafe or picking up a pastry to go. The atmosphere is welcoming and the service is top-notch. I highly recommend this restaurant for a delicious and enjoyable dining experience.

My friend and I went to Mercury Cafe for a takeout lunch today. When we got there, we were the only two in the restaurant.

The staff is very friendly and the food is delicious. Their daily specials are always amazing. Pizza Fridays are a particularly enjoyable experience, where you can have a freshly made personal pizza just for you.

I did not have high hopes for this place as it is located in an office tower and appeared to be a simple cafeteria...How wrong was I? The scones are simply superb. They frequently have savoury scone options...red pepper and goat cheese and cheddar & chive. I love savoury scones and these two flavours are nothing short of flavour bombs! The only sweet scone I recall is cranberry. They are so flavourful, a bit crispy on the outside and pillowy on the inside. Just delish! I am not big on buying breakfast, but if I have purposely forgotten to walk with my breakfast to eat one of the scones. The muffins are very nice, but the one I had was a bit too sweet and actually was not the flavour I thought it was (asked for almond but, got cranberry). Everything is baked on site, so there is a lot of talent in that little kitchen!The sandwiches are good, but the fries are crispy, salty and taste like they have a bit of vinegar somewhere in them. I very much enjoy the fries. With the sandwiches, I just wished they used a different bread because it does not do the meat justice. Food presentation is simple and clean.The service is good. Friendly and casual. I am a frequent flyer there.You can also collect points, which accumulate after about 5 purchases to a free coffee, then go up to movie passes in the building.The only thing I do not like is the seating...it is very old, looks dark and dingy, and half the seats are near a window leading to a courtyard and are freezing. This is what brings the rating down to a 4/5.This is more of a take out option than a dine in, but definitely worth going to for breakfast or lunch.

Came here with a Groupon and I can't remember when I had a sandwich this good. Prices were very reasonable and coffee was great too.
