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 thought that was cool and mindful of them. The bathroom was clean and appropriately sized. Now, I do have to say I was disappointed by the water… it was room temperature… eww. I would suggest the cafe to add ice to their water, but until then I’d recommend bringing your own water bottle. Overall, I’d come back and recommend it. It is not Cool Beans, but I think I can create new memories at this place.

Really good coffee shop! Coffee with quality and all home made syrups! As a barista we know how to recognize a place with high standards! Tall brunette lady on the register super friendly, helped me out to decide what should I get!

This is our favorite coffee shop in Madison, we go every single week for so many reasons, coffee and teas are top, they have really good options for sandwiches and smoothies. It has the best atmosphere where we brainstorm and disconnect at the same time, great location with plenty of parking and amazing staff always so welcoming. I recommend this place to all my friends all the time, Thank you Mercies.✨
