Perfect day, perfect baby shower! Hosted my daughter’s baby shower at Sand Lake Merchant middle of May (yes it was a sunny day believe it or not!) Very comfortable atmosphere. Accommodating, Organized and very clean. The upstairs event area was a perfect setting for our family and friends. Melissa, the Event Coordinator, managed/supported us to ensure a lovely event. She made sure everything was in order and just right along with guiding us with those things we wouldn’t have thought of. Her friendly, cheerful nature was welcoming to all. The upstairs event area has 2 restrooms and a bar plus a kitchen area with industrial refrigerators- barn door closure from main event area. Don’t fret on parking as there is ample parking across from the Towne Tavern which is just a few steps away. As shared earlier- it was a perfect day, a perfect event....

We tried the gelato. (Had to do it.) It is as good as the best I've ever had (Amorino Gelato, on Newbury Street, Boston). Great flavors, reasonably priced, and nice sized portions.
Bottom line - it was great. Five-star, A++. A very welcome addition to the area. Thank you to the owners who took the risk and opened this...

Can also hang in the nice space on the second level while you eat some spumoni gelato (gotta recommend)-also a delightful porch up there w seating. I grabbed raw NY cheddar-my list goes on. And yay that Gipfel’s Coffee Co is attached! (They have somewhat different hrs than Merchant). And funny, but such a pretty bathroom-love the wallpaper. Always a pleasure,...
