The Mercantile Bremen

This place is an absolute gem. I’ve been 3 times now and even though it’s a 30-minute drive for me, it’s worth every mile. The menu has some dishes you usually only find closer to Atlanta, the service is fantastic, and they even replaced my mimosa for free after my kid launched it off the table which was incredibly gracious :) Everything I’ve tried has been a solid 10/10. The carrot cake is non-negotiable, and the avocado toast… unreal.

I am so glad I found this little restaurant. I had lunch there and had a chicken sandwich with a side of corn chowder. Both were fantastic, but I was absolutely blown away by the corn chowder! I’ve got a nice selection of merchandise and a comfortable atmosphere. I will definitely be back.

Never disappoints. Bremen Mercantile Cafe’ makes a simple piece of toast so delicious! The Avocado Toast with goat cheese, grape tomatoes and fresh basil, is exceptional. Definitely one of my new favorite menu items at Bremen Mercantile Sunday Brunch. Yum! 😋

I cannot say enough good things about The Mercantile! The two men who own it came from the Big Bear Mercantile in Tallapoosa, and they’ve done a fantastic job here. The atmosphere strikes the perfect balance—inviting and cozy with a country charm, yet modern and fresh at the same time. I had the Ham & Brie sandwich with a side salad, while my partner enjoyed the Monte Cristo with pasta salad. We also started with the crab cake appetizer—absolutely delicious! Every dish was bursting with flavor and really hit that sweet spot between upscale dining and a laid-back place where you can just relax and sip a mimosa. Overall, it was a 5/5 experience. I highly recommend stopping in—you’ll be glad you did!

Stopped in on our way from Atlanta to Bham. 5 minutes off the highway and SO worth it. Excellent food and service. We’ll definitely be back.
