Review of The Mercantile

We called in a sandwich order as soon as they opened at 7:15, for pick up at 8am. They were just completing the order at 8am when we arrived — ideal timing. We also picked up tea, coffee and pastries.

The gluten-free blueberry muffin was tasty, if maybe a little underbaked in the middle where blueberries had clustered.

My gluten-free “smokehouse” sandwich — smoked turkey, with cheese, onion and tomato — was tasty hours later at lunchtime. The bread was a nice texture and not soggy. I am pretty sure it is packaged, although I couldn’t place the brand.

The rest of our group enjoyed their non-gluten-free sandwiches and pastries too.
