The Mercantile — Restaurant in Dennis

Loved getting food and coffee here until my most recent visit.

Consistent with other people, don’t go here if you’re in any kind of time crunch. I was the only one waiting on an order, and my sandwich took about 10-15 minutes to make, start-to-finish. Forget it if there are orders in front of yours.

There were 6 people behind the counter… one girl ringing, one girl making all the food, and 4 girls standing by the girl making food talking and gossiping, not doing anything. The girl making my food stopped after every ingredient to talk and gossip with the other employees for 1-2 minutes.

One of my favorite places on Cape Cod. The food is yummy, the staff is super friendly and the atmosphere is a fun one where many people know each other and are just happy to be there.

The chocolate chip cookies are also one of my favorites. The owner is so awesome, always smiling and talking with customers, genuinely cares about her staff and is right there with them doing whatever...
