In Italy, it may not be acceptable to drink cappuccinos after 11am, but we don’t judge! Foamy capps served all day. 😉⁠

New to Mercato - Introducing farm-fresh durian chips by ! Our team member .patricia (co-founder of the chip brand, native of Thailand and overall lovely human who also works at ) introduced us to this remarkable snack and we couldn't help but stock our shelves with them. Made in Chanthaburi, the fruit capital of Thailand, the family-farm that produces focuses on fair trade by dealing directly with their farmers.⁠
PS these chips are odorless, light, crispy and super addictive ❤️

Introducing our first ever staff highlight featuring the lovely Devon! ⁠
⁠
Originally from Whitehorse, Devon has been with us since we opened last month. She is a film-lover and has worked on a few shorts and music videos since moving to Vancouver. ⁠
⁠
What she loves about working at Mercato: "I love how it connects people from so many different places, among both coworkers and customers"...not to mention "the breakfast sandwich (and) the Cacio e pepe. Both are so so good!"⁠
⁠
She's also like to give a shout-out to her other favourite spot for their amazing pastries and the nicest staff.⁠
⁠
🫶Grazie mille, Devon!
