Delicious coffee, pastry & sandwiches! I ve been here multiple times for both dining in & takeaways. Always good experience 👏

The pastries were yummy, but unfortunately the flat white was burnt & the milk texture wasn't smooth at all. I was honestly so disappointed drinking my coffee. The person at the register felt cold & dry, though the barista was warm & smiling, which I appreciated. Overall, I'd come back if the coffee machine/settings were adjusted because the pastries were really good.

Both baristas were super nice & made great coffee / hot chocolate & I also liked the music they chose to play.
Coffee shop is well located, small but cozy (not a lot of seating areas). Hot chocolate would be better with real melted chocolate instead of powdered but it was still quite tasty. The cappuccino was also excellent. The croissant was quite flaky & was delicious.
If you're in the area, definitely give this little coffee shop a try ☺?

Absolute favorite place I got coffee during our trip to Montreal (old port) & the food + cookies were even more delectable! I'm craving to comeback just to have another vanilla iced latte 🤤 so delicious!

Hands down, my absolute favorite coffee spot in the Old Port! I seriously love everything there, the coffee grounds is amazing to bring home , the sandwiches are so good, & their cappuccinos are next level. Not to mention everyone who works there is so kind! Always such a great vibe when you walk in. Couldn't recommend it more! :)

Delicious gluten free scones & cookies . Stopped in for some coffee & saw they offered a variety of cookies , croissants & scones . The gluten free chocolate & banana flavored scones were delicious .

Iced coffee was well prepared & service was very fast .

Definitely a coffee shop to visit if you are looking for a good GF product with your coffee

We started our morning walk in Old Town with a stop here. Frank, the owner, was very friendly. & I have to say, it was the best coffee I had during my entire trip in Montreal. I didn't get a treat, but the cookies look amazing!

I have heard great things about Mercanti for years so decided to try it as I was in the area. What looks like a tiny café from the outside is actually quite spacious inside with great ambiance. The sandwiches, desserts, & of course coffee are just about the highest quality you can find. Great experience, will be back.
