Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bring my dog, and which entrance should I use?

Yes, Mercetta is dog friendly, but four-legged companions are restricted to the outdoor courtyard areas and cannot walk through the front dining room. Head directly around to the back entrance where there is spacious alfresco seating, along with treats like puppachinos and paw cookies on the menu.

Where is the best place to park?

Street parking on Main Street can be competitive and difficult to find during peak hours, but there is a dedicated public parking lot located directly behind the restaurant with backdoor access.

Should I book a table or can I walk in?

Mercetta accommodates walk-ins across its indoor and spacious rear outdoor seating areas, though weekends and peak morning hours can involve a wait. Making a reservation ahead of time is recommended if you have specific timing or seating requirements.

What specialty drinks are worth ordering?

Beyond standard cafe drinks and coffee, Mercetta is well known for its decadent signature hot chocolate, served alongside breakfast, brunch, and lunch classics.
