Hey y'all,
Just wanna tell y'all bout this here new coffee we gots in. The Zirikana, Rwanda is a deliciously robust bean with hints of vanilla, toast and sweet fruity amazeration. If Hunter S. Thompson were still alive he'd be sippin' on this sizzerp with a dash of some fine whiskey. I don't think it's from that hotel that Don Cheadle worked at, but what do I know.
I definitely suggest that y'all cart yer arses to Merc and give this mother a try.
Also, we have a fun stamp and now all of our cups proudly display our logo(that's Greek for logo).

T'is the season for puppehs in winter clothing. If there is one thing I love more than sipping on a warm, rich, delicious latte at my beloved workplace, its seeing a baby dog wearing a custom made knitted toque!

This guy asked me today for an espresso over ice. I was like, "Isn't there enough ice out there for you? Who needs to be more cold?"

Seriously. I remember how cold it was last year... this time round, we've got the curtain, we've got the heaters, we've got the fans. We're ready. It wasn't even cold this morning when I came in. I was surprised. I took off my four sweaters and it was still temperate. I think we'll make it through the winter.

Speaking of which, our hours (hour ours) will be changing a little for the winter months-- as of the 14th, we'll be closing at 8pm instead of 9pm, 7 days/week. Since no-one seems to come in at that time (hence the change) I doubt it'll matter. Am I right?



Also take note of our HOLIDAY HOURS:

DEC 16 -- CLOSE @ 7 (cause we got to get with the holiday spirit + bust out the party, you know?)!

DEC 24TH -- CLOSE @ 5!

DEC 25TH -- CHRISTMAS DAY, WE ARE OPENING ALL OUR PRESENTS AND THUS NOT "PRESENT" AT THE STORE ((IE CLOSED!!))

DEC 26TH -- OPEN 9 TO 5!

DEC 31ST -- WE CLOSE @ 5, NEW YEARS YOU KNOW?

JAN 1ST -- NEW YEARS DAY, CLOSED... YOU'LL WANNA GET YOUR FIX BY THE POUND BEFORE HAND

All other days at usual. That means by the way, we are only closed on the 25th and the 1st. We are open 363 days per year.

I have to say I'm quite excited about the mercury xmas knees up. I could be wrong but I imagine the night going a little something like this... everyone arrives feeling slightly uncomfortable with the queen crew on one side and the main posse on the other, perhaps someone throws out a diss which brews into a electric boogaloo type altercation...



Just as Alex T starts to top rock the Mill St beard guy would bust in and wearing a Hawaiian shirt, insisting everyone 'lighten up', spraying the broads with keg beer and high five'n the bros...

but i could be wrong.

Even though I have never fought anyone (other than my brothers) in my entire life, occasionally I get a real kick out of imagining myself beating up some jerk really bad. I don't know why, maybe I am a sicko and you shouldn't talk to me. Or maybe you feel like that sometimes too. Anyways when I came into Mercury one day and heard that some skanky bum stole all the money out of the tip jar when someone wasn't looking, my mind began racing, imaginging all sorts of kick ass fight moves that I would put on that bum if I ever got the chance...

There is concern in some mercury circles that the below economic hysterical xenophobic witchhunting trend will continue.

help end the madness by coming and enjoying a post 2pm coffee at the main store to put certain staff at ease.
