Whether you're in for a perfect cup of coffee, traditional afternoon tea, a glass of satisfying wine, or to explore the plethora of specialty cheeses, charcuterie, and artisanal chocolates, Marina Mercantile promises a unique encounter with each visit​​.

Why Marina Mercantile Stands Out

  • Food and Drink: From soups, salads, and sandwiches to meat and cheese plates, and rotating specials, the food offerings are as varied as they are delicious. Their wine and beer selection is carefully curated to complement the dining experience​​.
  • Events and Learning: Marina Mercantile is also known for its engaging events, including musical performances and lecture events, alongside classes for artists, makers, and cake decorators​​.
  • A Curated Selection of Goods: The mercantile aspect of Marina Mercantile offers an assortment of artisinal supplies perfect for creating an impromptu feast or picking up unusual gifts. The inventory ranges from specialty foods and imports to quirky home decor items​​.
