Veggie quesadilla. Food was good. But the quantity of the food not great . And the prices are little high

Excellent burger #2, tomato basil soup exceptional. Only reason for 4 stars in service, was they were short handed. No one fault, trend of the times. I would recommend the place to anyone.

Great service and great food. I have liked everything I have tried so far. The brick oven pizza is great, I'm hoping they expand the options to include a buffalo chicken pizza. I did have a mistake on an order one time and they went above and beyond to make it right. They delivered personalized customer service.

Went there for breakfast with my wife today, they knocked it out of the park. Great staff and food. Check this place out... but check the hours before you go.

WOW! Everything I've had from Mercer Cafe is DELISH! So fresh and so clean clean ;) But seriously, all homemade (I have so many favorite dishes!) and great prices! The staff is super nice and the restaurant is super clean. If you haven't tried Mercer yet, you're in for a treat!!

A great place to grab a bite to eat on base. It was a little pricey but it was worth it. They had to close the doors due to Covid-19, but I hope they come back. The staff was great and the food was delicious.

Stopped in off the recommendation of a local doctor. Was greeted warmly by a nice lady at the counter. Grabbed a moist blueberry muffin and a fresh fruit cup- but will have me return was there delicious Cold Brew Coffee. Very nice outdoor patio area.
