The Mercantile
778 Main St, Hyannis, MA
Crema's Take
“This beloved Hyannis spot strikes a perfect balance between a quick caffeine stop and a leisurely breakfast destination, with a genuinely warm staff that makes regulars out of first-time visitors. While opinions on the sandwiches vary, the coffee consistently earns praise, and the cream cheese croissants and notably excellent gluten-free bread options have earned devoted followings. It's the kind of place where you might pop in for a muffin and coffee on your commute but find yourself lingering over fresh ingredients and friendly conversation.”

We stopped in for lunch. Staff were super friendly. We both had sandwiches and found them to be very basic/bland, but the staff provided some additional condiments which helped. Coffee and muffins were very good. I’d recommend some additional signage for non-locals (where is order pickup, where do trays go, where is recycling, etc). In general though, good experience and again very friendly staff.
Decent enough place to get a sandwich. They were good enough but not enough to rate five stars. Gotta ask. Why do you have to put in sooo much mayonnaise in your chicken salad. Do you think people really like it or is it just to save money?
Wonderful cafe to stop in and grab some breakfast and coffee on my way to work! Staff is always friendly, personable, and quick. Definitely recommend the cream cheese croissant- I never want it to end 🥰
I can’t stop going here! The coffee is excellent and the sandwiches are ammaaaazinggg! This is an excellent gluten-friendly place and their gluten free bread is SO GOOD! Do yourself a favor and try the gluten free muffins… so good! They have oat milk as well! The staff is always friendly and the upstairs area is great! Plenty of room outside to sit and enjoy your drinks/food as well. Love the Merc!
Excellent sandwich shop with nice ingredient combos. Good fresh bread, too. Here’s a pic of the Merchant of Dennis salami sandwich outside the shop. Plan to wait 20-25 minutes if you order on site. Was a bit slower than expected.
