Pretty nice coffee. They don't make it too hot so you can drink it right away. The sofa chairs need cleaning and new padding, but overall not a bad place. Menu looks delicious and varied. Unfortunately we didn't order food. Staff were really friendly and efficient, serving in a timely manner.

Merc's Cafe is one of Koronadal City's popular hangouts of coffee drinkers. It is conveniently located along Alunan Avenue, directly across the Provincial Capitol compound. The place is quite small so it is usually jampacked during peak hours. Food is really good and very reasonably priced. I love their sushi rolls, veggie salads, and pasta. Their cakes and pastries are also impressive. Frappes, hot drinks, and sodas are also great. Details were also given much attention in its interiors. It surely is an "instagrammable" place. Service is commendable, the young owners themselves are hands on in making sure everything runs smoothly in the cafe'.

The cafe is cozy and the staff are all very accommodating with our orders. They have enough seats with different kinds of tables and chairs to accommodate different kinds of activities. We ordered the maki, caesar salad, and cheese sticks and they were all delicious for a light snack. They offer paid charging for your devices so for anyone who wants to work or study. The only downside is that their wifi is not that fast.

At first I wasn't really a fan of this coffeeshop/restaurant. Had some couple of orders here before but I thought they weren't that impressive. Well, that is until last week — during a serendipitous moment when I was with my friend and I got a taste of their gorgeous and scrumptious Chicken Caesar Salad. Personally, I think it's the most delicious and exquisite salad that one can find throughout the city. It was on that day that made me change my initial judgment towards the resto. I think they serve good food and they're worth every penny. The place is cozy, I just wish it was more spacious so groups of larger numbers can be accommodated, nonetheless, still decent. Took these pictures earlier during my second visit at Merc's this year and mind you.. I was alone munching on these yummies Definitely ain't gonna be my last visit and solitary gourmandizing here at Merc's.
