Vraiment, c’est champion. Beau comme tout, le café est délicieux, la présentation est jolie, il y a des boîtes de produits directement venus d’Italie qu’on peut acheter, des gâteaux, des biscuits, d’autres bonnes choses pour se sucrer le bec, le barista est trilingue(ou plus, qui sait) et gentil comme une brise printanière. Ça c’est du service! La plupart des clients de fin de journée semblent être des habitués, mais on s’y sent comme à la maison, même si c’est notre première fois. Beaucoup de familles et peu de place: 10 places assises aux tables et 4 – 5 bancs près du comptoir. On né se sent pas pressés pour autant, il y a beaucoup de commandes pour emporter. J’y retournerai volontiers!

Excellent cappuccinos — always warm service, reminds me of Italy. Nice outside chairs and tables, cozy inside. I’ve grown attached to it. Bonus is homemade takeaway dinner portion pasta, sauces, meatballs etc at reasonable prices right next door!

Café de’ Mercanti is that type of café you want to keep hidden for yourself and a few locals. However, I have dismissed these feelings after reflecting upon the greater reality I have thanks to Unilocal.And though it does not demand it, I want to respect my link to Unilocal by sharing this review and these pictures of the café that is de’ Mercanti. Mercanti is found on Monkland where it’s just busy enough to give the pleasant feel of a cosmopolitan café though equally tranquil for introspective activities. It’s an Italian café(with an Italian épicerie just adjacent) with some elements of the more old-school Italian sport cafés you find in little Italy(ie the television), though beauty and elegance permeate the space: marble, an array of Italian pastries, shiny moka pots, imported packaged treats, well displayed gelato, and fine service. I want to go back.

Small servings of very fresh, delicious coffee. Sort of the anti-Starbucks – portions are much smaller than even the smallest Starbucks coffee, but the coffee is a lighter roast very flavourful and not bitter.

I fell in love with this café as soon as I entered the place. I like the TV playing, the cozy atmosphere, it is really like being in your living room except you’re drinking a fabulous latte and you have a whole range of typical Italian pastries to choose from. I recommend the sfogliatella: it’s heaven in your mouth. The staff is cool and despite the fact that the room is small, it’s still very comfortable. A jewel on Monkland! Will return for sure!!!

A very good neighborhood coffee place. Superb coffee and pastries. The place is small but cozy, one table inside and a bench outside. Two nice girls make great coffee. The place smells so good! Come in the morning, chat with the girls, grab a cappuccino and go with a smile.

This is a great little neighborhood place. The coffee is great and is made the way it is made in Italy. They have a variety of pastries and a huge assortment of imported Italian goodies. I haven’t tried the hot chocolate yet but it looks absolutely decadent. It’s become my go to place in the neighborhood.
