Merchants Cafe — Restaurant in North Branch

The Perfect Little Date Spot 🤍

My son and I live near North Branch, and today we decided to venture into town and stop by Merchants—easily the best decision of the day!

From the moment we sat down, the experience was wonderful. The server thoughtfully brought over paper and crayons for my son, which kept him happily entertained while we waited for our food. That small but meaningful gesture made us feel so welcome!

We shared the Merchants French Toast Sandwich, and it was absolutely divine. The strawberry cream cheese filling was rich and creamy, the French toast was perfectly cooked, and the whipped cream was pure happiness in fluffy form! We also tried a blueberry muffin, which was buttery, fluffy, and topped with the perfect sugary crumble.

This cozy little corner of North Branch has officially become our new favorite date spot, and we couldn’t be happier! With so many delicious options on the menu, we can’t wait to come back and try something new—though I may have a hard time resisting that French...

Was out shopping for furniture today. Got hungry, and a gentleman who worked at the store recommended this place. I am SO happy he did!

This place is absolutely delicious!!! Walking into this cafe, you see its charm. It used to be a bank. Huge vaults that the staff run in and out of. The staff greeted us with personable warmth. I had the ghost pepper carnitas breakfast burrito. It had peppers, onions, eggs, carnitas, and cheese on the inside with fresh tomatoes and avocado on the outside. The tortilla was beautifully crisped. Drizzled in hot honey. This was an epic explosion of tastiness. I highly recommend it. On the way out, the waitress asked if we wanted to try their homemade camel roll. Even though we were full, how can you resist?! They just came out of the oven! The smell was intoxicating. The way you can pull it apart and unroll it for each bite was heavenly. Melts in your mouth. What a happy spot for comfort food.

Great food. Great service. Can't...

Amazing food and very friendly staff. For a small town you typically don’t have very many options when it comes to food locations unless it’s pizza, fast food, or some random sit down restaurant. The atmosphere at merchants is different. It’s modern, yet homey. You feel welcome and comfortable. They cater, offer delivery and pickup, and have delicious menu options with specials that change. They also offer to go lunch options, which is amazing imo. The cheese curds are my favorite, along with the burgers, Asian/Thai flatbread, Reuben, breakfast items (eggs benny anyone??) and they have hand cut french fries that are to die for. I’m extremely grateful that a restaurant like merchants opened in a small town like North Branch because we needed it. I’ve never had a bad meal there or a bad experience. I can’t wait to see how much they grow within...
