Mercies Coffee

This morning I had cravings for Cool Beans Coffee food and drinks, so I headed over towards the East Towne Mall area (Off of Eagan Rd) to then remember that they closed… like over half a decade ago; I was groggy and in a sentimental mood this morning. Anyway, I found Mercies Coffee has replaced Cool Beans Coffee. Initially, I grumbled wishing it was Cool Beans as I entered into the shop. My eye was drawn to the fireplace, the same one that I sat by during my childhood. Comfort overcame my disheartened heart as I stumbled my way to the barista who greeted with a simple but endearing smile. I explained to her that I have never been there, so it would take me a minute before I ordered. She nodded her head as she gracefully waited for me to analyze the menu and decide. I ordered a breakfast burrito and this barista had a docile personality that welcomed my distracted mind. She asked if I wanted a drink; because she was so easy to be with I decided to order a hot chocolate just like I did at Cool Beans. She up sale me, and I was ok with it. Now, the hot chocolate comes to my table with a lovely white heart (from the milk, I believe). At this point I cannot withstand a smile. The burrito came and it was a great flavor, but it felt more like a panini when I ate it even though it was tortilla. Regardless, it was good I’d give it a 9/10. This breakfast comes with a salad. Going to be honest, I’m not a salad/greens person… but the pickled onions intrigued me. So, I tried it. It was decent, but I wouldn’t pay extra for it because I don’t eat salads. Food and drink was great. The atmosphere was delightful with the open space, morning daylight filling the rooms with a glow, and the people were courteous and normal… unlike some cafes where the customers can be unbearable. They do raise awareness about sex trafficking in WI, not just a paper that says if you see something say something. There was a whole wall that provides resources and details about the issue.

I come here frequently and always feel special when the owner calls me by name! The food is always made generously consistent and the customer service is next to none. EVERYONE is sweet ALL of the time! I always know when I come in I’ll feel at home. ❤️ I am a Real Estate Broker and oftentimes see others in our industry working on their business here and/or meeting clients. Speaks wonders as I know we all have offices we pay for! 🤣🤣 I’ll never stop coming back!

The entrance is very low key and unassuming, but opens up to a spacious and inviting sitting area. The mocha tasted as perfect as it looked. Great balance of sweetness and chocolatey bitterness. Comfortable seating and table spacing. Free wifi. Loved it.

Found this place on a whim, looking for coffee before a shift. It’s located in a strip mall so I was a bit skeptical at first. However, this place was actually pretty neat! The iced vanilla latte with oat milk was super fresh. The staff were very friendly. There was plenty of seating to get work done, as well as couches and a fireplace to relax or hang out. Ordered to go so I don’t know if they have glass cups for if you’re staying in, but that would’ve been bonus points! Wouldn’t really go super out of my way away from the main Madison or campus area for this place, but if I’m out in that area then I’ll definitely go back!

Traveling always poses some limitations to my enjoyment of food. Mercie's is a jem of a find!! ❤️ We were welcomed the moment we walked in the door. I felt like I was in my own little cafe back home enjoying my oatmilk granola bowl and nutmeg oat milk latte. My husband's sunrise sandwich looked so good, and he confirmed it was delicious. I'm happy it was our starting point before continuing our road trip north.

Met a friend here for breakfast for the first time and I was very impressed!! I had the signature breakfast sandwich and OMG….it was so good! I highly recommend it if you go there. The dressing used on the side salad is so good, I would buy it to use at home!! I also had the Macchiato coffee which was really good! Love this place and will definitely be going back!!

Very sweet little spot with a great amount of seating for working or relaxing. A large table in one room seems great for larger groups. I love the fireplace, the service was great, and I enjoyed the music. I had a breakfast sandwich but I want to go back and try a smoothie!

Loved the atmosphere! Staff was super friendly and kind. Drink was great. We sat near the fireplace and talked. A great find. A gem that shouldn’t be a secret.

Really cosy and warm atmosphere. I feel like I stepped in into a meeting place where good conversations take place. Enjoyed the cappuccino and the croissant was surprisingly crispy. Glad I could support this place and its mission in this simple way.
