YEAHHH!!! FUN AT MERCURY WITH MERCURY!!!!

Come on down to queen street, the only store with two injured employee toes!!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LESLIEVILLE MERCURY!!! CONGRATULATIONS ON THREE GREAT YEARS. THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT. AND THANK YOU TO THE BEST BARISTAS IN THE CITY: ALEX, BEN, NEIL, DAMIEN, MATT, KATIE, DOUG, AND ROBIN.... YOU GUYS ROCK!!!

so, while our fellow Leslieville residents are busy patting themselves on the back for facing down the consumerdisneyland giant known as 'SmartCenter Inc',
let me take a moment to pat our superduperskilzladen staff here at mercury, on the back, for getting this little write up on pg 65 of the April issue of Toronto Life Magazine :

Best Caffeine Jolt

"Coffee nerds can keep their $15 cups of Esmeralda. We'll take one of Mercury's carefully crafted lattes($3.95). Chocolaty, rich and smooth, their Black Cat beans make the best espresso in the city."

so to the best staff in the city, we say a huge, heartfelt thanks, for doing what you do, and doing it as well as you all do it! you guys rock!

BTW - the Black Cat beans come from Intelligentsia, who are just one of the great roasters we use at the shop, and who i might add, are also pretty freaking good at what they do. So thanks to them too.

CONGRATULATIONS LESLIEVILLE!!!!!!!!!!!

No Big Box in our 'hood! Great news. This means no Walmart. What a relief, eh? It just goes to show that a great community, filled with great INDEPENDENT businesses can beat the big guys. Way to go!!!
Here are a couple links in regards to the OMB decision:

The National Post reported with this:

Make sure you read the comments following the article. It's already generated some emotions from both sides of the fence.


Time for a long awaited pat on the back. Way to go everyone!

Greetings everyone,

My name is Adam and I just started at the main street location. I love coffee, writing and jazz.
I look forward to meeting everyone and learning the ways of a true barista.

I am excited to meet everyone and get into the full swing of Mercury.

Adam
