Ordered a salad with chicken salad. It was carefully prepared; gloves changed, counter wiped down. It was very fresh and delicious. Tried a berry muffin too. It had a crunchy, sugary top and was so good.

Good sandwiches - mine was GF, my kids had non-GF sandwiches. No issues - staff was nice, didn't get sick.

Sandwiches are $10-$13 each. Kids had cookies too that they said were awesome. There were no GF treats that I saw, but we were there on the later side of lunch and I think they were starting to prep to close.

The place is located behind the post office.

It's a place I'd return to when visiting the Cape.

The Merc is my go to for gluten free sandwiches and muffins! They have good protocols for handling gf orders and their sandwiches are amazing, especially their breakfast sandwiches. Their gf pies at Thanksgiving are incredible too! I miss them when they close during the winter.

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.
