A very cute and simple café with free wifi and seating, great for studying or having a coffee with a friend! I ordered the iced matcha latte, sweetened, and made with oat milk. The matcha was great! No bitter after taste or graininess. It was a very smooth matcha that wasn't too overpowering, and paired nicely with the creaminess of the oat milk. They also sell a bunch of jewelleries and other small items made by small local businesses! The staff is also very friendly. The vibe is nice and cozy, feels like you're in a house! There's a 'living room' area with a couch, as well as a separate room with more tables and chairs. It's not very big, so make sure to get there early if you want a seat. I'll be looking forward to coming back to try out their coffee and baked goods in the future! read more

I had a business meeting with YTZ International and they invited me to the nearby coffee and pastry place. What a charming little café! Everything there seemed perfect, from a romantic name to the super friendly Korean owner. They had really interesting brews, I tried black sesame latte and it was amazing. I love that they help young artists and display local arts for sale. Glad I discovered this place, will certainly visit again when I am in Toronto west end. read more

Amazing Nutella latte , flavourful and well balanced. Good selection of other delicious Asian drinks, and pastries as well. Will definitely order from here again, as their selection is great read more

Cute cafe more on the west side of toronto. It's actually in a house so I thought it was pretty cool. Didn't realize until i went to the washroom and there's a literal shower in there (can't be used lol). A cute cafe to catch up with friends or get some work done as they do have outlets and I saw majority of people with their laptops. Only tried their vanilla sweet cream cold brew and it was strong but good. Prices are average for toronto. I do appreciate the water station they have with cups and water you can help yourself too. read more

I love stopping by this cafe for their specialty drinks. From their lavender latte to their dalgona latte, I haven't had a drink that I didn't like. They also have a great selection of baked goods. I'm guilty of camping out here for a day to do work. They have several spots for you to get your work done. The workers are super friendly and put a lot of care into putting together your drink. If you haven't already stopped by this cafe, you absolutely need to! read more

This place is super cute & cozy. The vanilla latte was definitely the star of the show. Matcha was pretty decent. I was looking forward the the black sesame but it wasn't my fav :( read more

Really cute cafe shop with lovely decor. This cafe has a nice cozy feeling and is great to just sit and chat or to do some work. I tried the curry lentil soup and it's really amazing. It doesn't have an overly strong curry punch, but is instead very smooth and well-rounded. I would defiantly come here again for the great ambience and food! read more

Great, very (very!) small and cozy coffee place. The owner is so nice and friendly. They have so many coffee options, so many plant based milks, definitely you will find something. On the other hand the coffee is pretty pricey and there are no pastries or cakes.. also it's hard to find a table and it's really hot inside (during winter). Also their coffee was just 3/5 for me. Would come back one day to try other coffee drinks. read more

This is an odd space for a cafe/shop. While it does well as a shop it falters as a cafe. The setup is just weird with a lot of tight steps and odd corner spaces being used as seating. On top of this one has a hard time figuring out where the seating ends and display begins. Ah well I will let the space savers among you figure this out. My friend ordered a chicken empenada. While the taste was decent there were a few pieces of cartilage in them. Hmm unappetizing to say the least. Here is the verdict on the cappuccino Espresso: Medium Crema': OK Milk: Frothed average Latte Art: n/a I would say a very mundane take on cappuccino. 2.5 stars. read more

I wish this place was closer to my house! It doesn't look like much from the outside or inside to be honest since this cafe is a remodeled house and converted into a coffee place. As other reviewers have noted, the space is a bit cramped and depending how busy it is, seating might not be available. Inside, this place carries a wide range of items from local artisans and trinkets besides hot and cold beverages, pastries and snacks. However, for us, this place works as you can have a quiet conversation or you might be listening in on a conversation as you are more than likely to be sharing space with other people. We don't mind. Plus they have free WiFi available. We had their coffee, hot chocolate, croissant and chicken empanada and no complaints from us in regards to their drinks or food. Their stuff is decent. Prices are reasonable especially in the area. This will be a must stop for us when we are in the King Street West area! #42 of 2018 read more

Such a cute mom & pop shop in Toronto. Stumbled upon this coffee shop trying to find a spot to stay warm after a period of snow blowing in our faces, and I'M GLAD WE FOUND THIS SPOT! When we came, only the sweet old man was working and making all our drinks. He was so sweet and super quick at making all our drinks considering there were 6 of us. We were able to snag a table, and also get some cute shots by the table near the entrance (you'll know what I'm talking about through pictures). They also sell pastries and home goods! read more

disappointed...the latte didn't taste good so I asked for sugar and they put too much ... I told them it didn't taste good and to just throw it out for me (it was full and didn't want to put that much liquid in the garbage) They threw it out and didn't offer to make a new one, which is what most places would do read more

What's there not to like about this place! Like a hidden little gem in plane sight! The coffees are always great, both the Nutella latte and the Mocha mint latte are must trys for getting a little treat in BUT the best part here is all the cakes, pastries and cookies oh my god there's so much choice and all so tasty! Give them a go and support a smaller business! PS - good place to take a date for a coffee and pretend you have a sensitive side read more

Whatever you like to call my favourite espresso "dessert" drink: Manchando or Cafe Bombon. All I know that it is a condensed milk with a shot of espresso and foam. La Merceria is one of the few cafes in TO that I can get my fix. Love the cookie on the side too and now I can be on high on sugar, caffeine and carb in one seating. La Merceria is so cute. The backroom is really cozy just made me feel right at home and ready for an afternoon nap. I need to come back and try their empanadas. So I definitely will be coming back! read more

What a lovely little spot! I've been here a few times and it's great for studying or getting some work done - especially the two rooms in the back. The man at the coffee bar is always so pleasant to deal with. The drinks are great, and I quite like their empanadas. I typically go for americanos, but I did try a cappuccino last time, which really hit the spot! Generally, there are people working on laptops so it's pretty quiet. The separated rooms makes it seem so cozy and personally helps me focus. Although the last time, there was a group of girls that were super loud...ugh. Aside from coffee and the lovely ambience, there are lots of neat items for sale by small artists, which really adds to the intimacy of this place. read more

Came on a Tuesday to study for the day. This cafe is spacious and cozy. I found myself feeling at home (but not home since I could study here) and their layout is perfect to study alone or in groups as big as 5 ppl! I liked their coffee ($2 for medium cup), and it came with a complimentary sugar cookie! Cappuccino ($3.35) was average but my friend said their hazelnut latte ($4ish) was good. Food wise, empanadas are good, butter tart was creamy and yummy (could be heated better but tasted good cold too) Will be coming back, what a good place to study and catch up with friends. The service was good too (thank you for letting me stay for soooo many hours :$) read more

I love going to cute independent coffee shops/cafes. My friend & I were walking around this area, and saw this cute cafe. The "Nutella Latte," is delicious and for a small one for $4.74 with tax is a really good deal. The cafe feels really cozy, and is a great place to study, hang out with friends, or take a date. One thing to note though is that they don't have that many tables. They also sell some cute kitchen/homeward stuff, jewellery, and etc. For some reason the prices of the drinks are not listed on their menu board, but the man who served me was really nice about giving me the price. I would recommend this place if you want some delicious drinks and treats!! read more

What an adorable cafe just off Portland St.! It's steps from King West but feel miles away. Part home decor boutique, part cafe -- this is a cozy place to spend a lazy afternoon. The Argentinian vibe sets it apart from other cafes in the city. Not only do they have great espresso drinks and tealish teas, but they are accompanied by tasty food offerings like empanadas (beef, chicken, or spinach) and alfajores (a dulce de leche cookie sandiwch - yes it's as good as it sounds). Plus, I just enjoy listening to the staff speaking Spanish. Hot drinks come with a mini cookie on the side -- a cute touch. The boutique sells things like greeting cards, dish towels, embroidered iphone cases, and other gift-y items. read more

Such a cute cafe! Vintage decor has always been my preference but this cafe takes it to another level with a cute home-like feel! Even the bathroom is super homey. When I came I had the latte as well as the nutella latte. I preferred the nutella one because of the rich texture and choco aroma that adds to the latte itself. I love the vibe and would definitely go again! read more

We stumbled across this place after brunch in the area. It's a cute little vintage cafe, and I can see some people really loving the atmosphere. The space is a bit too cramped for my taste and seating is not comfortable given they mostly have vintage wooden furniture. I had the apple cider; it was mediocre. Heard their coffee is much better and will give that a try if I ever go again. read more

La Merceria is perfection in the form of a cute little Argentenian style espresso bar & home boutique. I loved it from the moment I walked in. It's small, but in the best, cozy kind of way. Seating comes in the form of small chairs, and larger benches filled with comfy cushions to relax on. Some of the walls are filled with knick-knacks, home supplies, and assorted items for sale - they have some really neat stuff and its worth at least browsing! The service is super sweet & friendly. If you want to chill out with some free WIFI, ask one of the workers here for the password and they'll slip you a teeny piece of paper with the goods on it (and make you feel like you're in a spy movie.) I decided to try their 4oz "Morocchino" which was simple but delicious: chocolate, espresso, foam. The bitterness with the espresso worked really well with the chocolate, and I devoured this quite quickly. It's presented on a cute little wooden plate that looks like a chunk of a tree trump, with a complimentary cookie on the side - super adorable. They have a variety of baked goods, sandwiches, and empanadas, so I decided to try the ham & cheese empanada. Mmmmmm. The empanada dough was fluffy and fresh, and this was simply some awesome cheesey, meatey, ooey gooey deliciousness. It also comes with a side of homemade chimmichurri which was fantastic (you can also buy it by the jar here!) Jimmy's used to be my go-to coffee spot in this area, but sorry, Jimmy's! La Merceria has stolen my heart. I can't wait to come back! read more

What a cute little coffee shop steps from my airbnb! There's wifi, coffee, muffins and even items for sale. The barista/owner is a sweetheart. He suggested his Iced matcha frappuccino would be better than an Iced Latte I originally ordered and he was right! The ice is blended in the Iced frappuccino compared to just getting a cup of ice cubes with the matcha. I'm down in supporting local businesses and this one is on my favorite list on my next return! read more

Went to visit my friend on Queen Street West and we decided to head over to a nearby coffee shop to catch up!! This place looks very tiny from the outside, but once you step in, there are more tables at the two rooms down the hallway. Decorations is very cafe shop like, very cozy and relaxing. They serve numerous selection of coffee/lattes and pastries! I ordered a Hazelnut Latte and my friend ordered an Americano and a green tea cookie! My hazelnut latte was so smooth and the sweetest was just right and I really enjoyed the latte. The green tea cookie itself, although soft, but the matcha taste is not strong enough. 4 stars for Le Merceria (aka Forget Me Not Cafe?), wonderful environment and delicious coffee! I will try other pastries next time and if they impress me, I may give this place the last missing star. read more

Located on the north-west corner of Adelaide and Portland, this coffeeshop/store is easy to miss because it doesn't look like your typical coffee establishment. However once you go inside, it's atmosphere/design and the smell of coffee will make you want to find out what this place has to offer. I brought a few of my friends here and they all said the same thing about La Merceria. They said that it was comfortable, welcoming and a great place to meet with friends. Compare to Jimmys Coffee down the street, this is a slightly better location to get work done because it's quieter but it's the other way around when it comes to the coffee. I'll be honest and say that the coffee is average. There's better coffee in other places in the area but I am always willing to sacrifice the quality of coffee when I can have the coffee somewhere that I can actually get work done. I would recommend La Merceria but I just hope that this review is not read by everyone because I want to keep this hidden gem to myself. read more

Cute cafe that's a mix of a small quaint store and a coffee shop. Space: - LOTS of space. It has 3 different sections for seating. But it gets quite stuffy at the back and it feels more like a dungeon as there's no natural lighting. - Comfortable cushions, very artistic looking Coffee: - Mediocre, I got a latte and an America I and I'm not sure if I would recommend! Food: - interesting variety of dishes, can be a good place to grab a quick snack. read more

"Hidden away from the busy streets of the city, this little place is a comfort from our busy schedules" The place itself is a cozy coffee shop and enjoying a nice snack and coffee set your heart and stomach with ease. The different gifts along the wall made the place unique with a distant feel of warmth from kitchenware to soaps, and the little jewelry to cards. The different decorations gives a nice countryside vintage coffee shop feel. The coffee and the empanada are definitely quite tasteful. Their different latte is must try. For a nice bite and escape from the busy streets, enter here and you will feel your mind is in tranquil. The vintage tables and chairs and the scent of coffee is definitely a place everyone should come by and take your mind off things. read more

In love! Looking tres petit from the outside, this cafe is a coffee & trinket-lover and/or freelancer's haven. Great coffee, great-looking treats on offer and full walls of all the cutest cards, gift items, etc. I've been in a couple times to hunker down for a few hours of work. Each time I was able to find a table to myself in at least one of the few nooks. This would be a great place to have a meeting, or a workday alongside a friend or two. There are no rushy vibes, and the rooms flow naturally. Every patrons has seemed very nice and respectful of the space & others around them. GOOD WIFI. read more

We loved this cozy little coffee shop! It seems to be the street level of a family's household - the same family who owns it. When my date and I walked in, there was a woman with a baby on her hip preparing a drink while a couple of teenage girls took our order. I loved the decor instantly. The rustic chic touches combined with the familial atmosphere made me feel at ease and at home. My date absolutely adored his specialty coffee, and I enjoyed one of their specialty drinks - it was essentially a latte that swapped the normal espresso for rich dark chocolate. It tasted incredible. We listened to yelp reviews and ordered some empanadas after we ate our croissants. Mine was chicken, his spinach. The dough was soft and so so tasty. It was not oily in the slightest, an impressive feat for empanadas. We would definitely come again on our next trip to Toronto. read more

This is an adorable, quaint cafe run by an adorable Korean man. There is ample seating (three main seating areas) and free wifi, and I believe it is open until 7:30 pm on most days. I enjoyed the curry lentil soup, drip coffee (surprisingly delicious black), and coconut tea. The matcha shortbread cookie, though highly instagrammable, is unfortunately way too salty and not good. They also have alfajores which look AMAZING. Would go back in a heartbeat. read more

A cute, hidden cafe that I've hung out a few times this past year. The entire coffee shop is decked out in vintage furniture with pillows and wooden seating that will make you feel at home. The decor will make you want to spend your weekend afternoons here. Unfortunately the coffee and food is mediocre. I've ordered the iced coffee before, which was so diluted with water that I had to ask them to refill the cup with more coffee. The coffees are average, with a lot of options for specialty lattes such as the nutella latte. I found the nutella latte to be incredibly sweet and as expected, more of a dessert than a drink. The snacks also seem to be sitting around and simply heated up when you order them. I've also tried studying here for awhile (there is a more secluded area in the back with less people) but it's difficult to focus here. La Merceria is best for catching up with friends and hanging out but don't expect world class coffee to be served here. read more
