Great little Italian-centric shop with a nice variety of snacks and yummy coffee drinks. Staff is helpful and friendly. Cute dog too!

Fashionista enough that it fits the Miami Design District (They even have a door tall enough to accommodate the style snobs with the long noses pointed up to the sky in chic superiority as they strut to lunch or that coffee pick me up after a day of sizing up the marks, er, clients looking for a $200k kitchen with the range tip that hovers in mid air with the German brand label conspicuously visible. Ah, but I digress. This is their watering hole, and, given the grave looks I received from a couple of them lunching, I had pierced the inner sanctum. The restaurant that it attached to is for us, I guess... On to the food. The pastries, salads etc are destination even if you can't pronounce any of the French names on the street well. Drop a star for watery espresso with an odd burnt taste. The brownie bite was from scratch and authentic. The beautiful people will be in love once the district gets its shopping maul (and yes I spelled that correctly) overhaul. read more

Mercato - Yummy sand which tomato pesto mozzarella - Bakeries Near Me - Miami, Florida

Decent quick food. The cashier (young lady with long black hair) needs an attitude adjustment. Asked for napkins and she pointed where to get it. Say whaaaaat? We were the only customers. So clueless. She also made our sandwiches without using gloves or washing her hands after handling the cash register. What a shame. read more

Super rude staff! I went in there. I ordered an item displayed on their menu (eggs & cheese). The girl responded super rudely that this was a breakfast item. I then asked what kind of food items they had available at the moment. The girl just basically looked as if she would rather be anywhere on earth than working the cash register in a café. She named the items. I asked her to repeat one of the items (she had a very strong accent). She rolled her eyes and repeated. I then asked her if they had wifi. She told me they did not. I said "Oh ok" and I proceeded to leave the café (I absolutely wanted to work in a café with wifi; it's a pretty basic questions and I assume a lot of people ask this in a café like this one). The girl responded with the most sarcastic tone ever "OH. MY. GOOOOD." Seriously? Someone walks into your café, asks your questions about your menu (and it's a good thing I did, since most of the items of the menus were apparently not available), asks if you have wifi and that's how you respond? Good luck staying in business with that attitude. read more

Amazing place to go grab a cup of coffee and just chill. This place, although small, is very roomy and bright. There is natural sunlight just beaming into Mercato. The people here are also really nice The food and small pastries are as delicious as they look! Also, they make everything from scratch from the kitchen next door. I definitely will be coming back when I come back to Miami! This place is memorable for me. read more

Cute little cafe in the design district with moderate pricing. I enjoyed the option of ordering their side salads a la carte and chose a quinoa with veggies that was quite tasty. And I'm not typically the quinoa type.... The container was around $5. They also offered egg salad, seafood salad and a brussel sprout salad. I'll be back to try the chicken Milanese that my coworkers speak highly of but was sold out by 2pm when we arrived. read more

I can't believe this place only has 4 reviews! This cute little cafe is situated next to MC Kitchen, and I think might be connected in some other way which I can only imagine to be a good thing. Regardless, I came in here recently with a friend and ordered the chicken salad sandwich. It's not done in the normal way with a ton of mayo, but some sort of delicious mustard and apples and onions (which may be more traditional, like I said, I'm not big on chicken salad usually). It was amazing. It was a bit on the expensive side ($14 I believe) but to be fair it was also enormous and came with a side of chips. Aside from the sandwich selection, they had a lot of tasty looking salad options (pasta, veggies, etc.) that I would love to try on my next visit. It's a bit cramped and the menu is small, but what they have to offer is worth it. Definitely worth checking out! read more

3.5 stars This restaurant/market/cafe is part of Dean Marino's MC Kitchen, yet is completely separate and a great addition to the area. More of a breakfast and lunch place, it's also a great place to grab a quick and healthy bite . Vibe is sleek and upscale; I feel like I'm in New York here. I had a salad that was very fresh but was surprised to see it served in a to go box...I was wanting to dine in....and did, although I ate there in my paper box and wasn't offered an option to have it on a plate. The place is a bit difficult to find. The signage is not good and you can completely miss this place. However, I did like the food. Quality was very high, so I would most likely return. read more

First off I want to say that I came here for my 35th birthday and the food was 6stars .not only was the food exotic but my server vincenzo from Rome answered all of my questions and his recommendations were great I would recommend anyone to this place especially ask for Vincenzo he's the best 6 star service . read more

Pizza e pasta restaurant on ground level: Great food but together with mandarin oriental the worst service possible with a bunch of Italians with no sense or spirit to be friendly to the customer You have to ask more than twice for everything... they will not listen... it is great to buy your own stuff and enjoy it by the tables outside! But the restaurants... read more

My go to place for great lunch with salmon, quinoa salad, seafood salad. Friendly staff. Perfect people watching glass window.

came here with a friend for lunch and loved it. the food was very good and the portions generous. Their toasted farro with shaved brussel sprouts and mushrooms is really good and so is their salmon. My friend ordered a side of quinoa which was a bit too simple. the food came out quickly and the service was quick. Didn't indulge in their desserts but i will next time. they offer plenty of gluten free desserts as well. I'm a fan. read more

Tasty. Had the fried and grilled chicken. Man they were tasty. The baguette was do fresh and flavorful. they didn't overdo it with the mayo and the lettuce and tomato were full of flavor. The restrooms were clean as well. A bit pricy but well worth the quality. read more

Great place for a quick bit to eat. I enjoyed a delicious lentil veggie burger (no buns) that I would definitely go back for. I also had a mixed seafood salad on the side. It had great flavor but way too much oil in my opinion. The side dishes came on a square plate that was way too small for the portion. I made a mess trying to eat it with a fork because the food kept falling of the plate. I was pleasantly surprised that they carry craft beer. You order at the register and they bring the food to you. read more

We only had some desserts here, although the food did look good. The key lime pie was nice but the crust seemed a little tough. We also had this berry tart looking pastry that had the perfect blend of cream and berry. Atmosphere looked good. read more

I work across the street and come here at least 3 times a week for a quick lunch to go. The food is very tasty and the service is good -and quick! A little pricy but it is high quality so I understand. I usually order a mixed baby green salad with farro. It's filling and healthy. read more

Was given terrible customer service. As I General Manager of one of the fashion boutiques in the Design District I'm asked daily by clients where they can go and purchase a coffee/sandwich etc. I would not recommend them to go Mercado. I ordered a cafe late with soy milk the barista told me they only had almond milk so I agree to the almond milk instead when I took a taste of the coffee it felt very week/water down and I quickly asked the barista if it would be possible to exchange it for one made of regular milk as it just doesn't taste correct to me. She looked at me with a face of what was obvious to me and my coworker of upset. She remade the cafe late for me and then said to me with an attitude that next time she will charge me again as she gave me what I had asked for. In the future I will only direct my clients to the other coffee shop in the Design District called Ella as they have always given me exceptional service. read more

This place is a hidden gem. They will make whatever you want. I had them take chicken Milanese and put it in a sandwich with lettuce, tomato, and mayo. Excellent. Great customer service. Highly recommend going here. Quality food and for a great price. read more

this review is way overdue but definitely worth posting. we had lunch at Mercato. not only was the food delicious but the staff-particularly the manager-was so great. he was kind and helpful and clearly took a lot of pride in the establishment. he even gave us some dessert samples to try. this is a wonderful, casual place to stop in for a healthy and quick bite to eat. read more
