Crema's Take
“OH MERCY wins you over with genuinely warm baristas and a backyard patio that's perfect for lingering, but the coffee quality is inconsistent and the space has a tendency to get overrun with laptop campers that kill the vibe. The macchiatos can be excellent, the pastries are solid, and the overall aesthetic is charming, but you're paying specialty prices for something that doesn't always deliver on the coffee front. Come for the community feel and people-watching, not for the espresso.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused. A slow-sit, quick-grab, outdoor seating spot, good for meetings. Full breakfast and pastries on the menu.

Great food, charming spot. However they really should consider a no laptops policy or at least restrict it to a small part of the cafe. Ambiance would be good if they didn’t let it get turned into a goober WeWork. Leaves no place to sit and eat if actually eating / not working,…
Two stars because the woman working was nice and the aesthetics are cute. I didn’t want to post this as I’d hoped to contact them privately, but there’s no email on the site and it doesn’t seem like they check their IG. I was in this past week for a sausage egg and cheese over…
Stopped in on a Monday morning to sit and enjoy coffee and the sunshine. The backyard patio area is a huge plus! There was a bit of a line, but the barista made the drinks quickly and was very kind. I just got an iced latte. Normal price, no complaints about size or taste. Good,…
