A Pawsome Adventure:
Exploring Bellevue with Your Pet
Morning Puppuccinos at Mercury Coffee Co.
Mercury Coffee is a local phenomenon with several storefronts across Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, and Issaquah with the flagship store just north of Bel-Red. As soon as you walk in, you’ll see the coffee and bakery production in full gear. While their pastries are a feast for the eyes and belly, their variety sandwiches are really what cement their spot on our list. You can find whatever sandwich speaks to you, but their take on the Italian is simple perfection. If you’re a cool cat who appreciates breakfast burritos anytime of the day, their vegan option with soyrizo is also done exceptionally well. Once you have a sip of their 100% organic coffee and tasty made in-house syrups, you will quickly understand the hype. Don't forget to complete your order with a cinnamon rolls the size of your head. That’s not all! Mercury coffee loves its pets! Ask to add a pup cup to any order and you & your pooch can sip on your lattes while enjoying sun on the patio. Want to drink like a Pacific Northwesterner? Ask your server for a redbull Italian soda! Thank us later. Also, check out our episode of The Vue for more things Mercury Coffe Co (and K1 Speed)!
