Nonna Mercato

“The food here is Amazing. Very aromatic. We enjoyed smelling the food at the table next to us while we waited for ours. We had the rigatonie which waa delicious. My friend also had lavender latte and said it was very tasty.”

“Great place with delicious food and a really charming atmosphere. One thing to note — seating is outdoor only, so I recommend making a reservation in advance, although our wait time was quite short (around 10–15 minutes). The service is very friendly, and the presentation of the dishes is beautiful. I love that there’s a lot of greenery, it creates a very cozy vibe. The food was fresh and tasty, though next time I would ask for the dressing on the side, as there was a bit too much sauce in the salad for my taste. The shakshuka is served in absolutely beautiful dishware — you can really feel that a lot of love and soul has been put into this place. The bakery is definitely one of their highlights. There’s a wide variety of pastries, and we tried quite a few. Our absolute favorite was the pistachio croissant with praline filling — truly top-tier. We didn’t get a chance to try the Nutella croissant, but we’ll definitely come back for it. The ube cruffin had a slightly unusual sour taste to me — possibly due to fermentation or maybe it wasn’t the freshest one since I took the last piece. That said, I felt completely fine after eating it, so I trust the quality of the food. If you enjoy more fermented or unique flavors, you might actually like it — it could also be a characteristic of ube. They also offer a great selection of bread (we didn’t try it, but many people were buying it), as well as a small corner with products like cookies, chocolate, sardines, and more — a very nice touch. One thing to keep in mind: we came back the next day to try the pistachio matcha croissant. As a matcha lover, I expected it to have a filling inside, but it turned out to be just glazed on top with no cream inside. So just keep that in mind if you’re a matcha lover like me and expecting a bold, rich matcha flavor — it’s more subtle than you might anticipate. Overall, it’s a lovely spot that I definitely recommend visiting, at least to try the pistachio croissant!”

“What a lovely little market, bakery, coffee shop, and restaurant all in one. I’ve gone for both just coffee and pastry as well as lunch/brunch. Their breads and pastries are house made and fresh. And even from the parking lot, you can enjoy the heavenly scent of freshly baking pastries. Their coffee is delicious and well balanced. I had very much been enjoying the seasonal “Winter Blues” latte which is made with an earl grey, lavender, and blueberry syrup. Everything I’ve tried on their lunch menu has been excellent. I particularly enjoyed the vegetable quiche, the fusilli with chanterelles, and the buratta di campagna. Their pastas are house made fresh daily. Service is friendly and quick. Seating is in a covered outdoor patio, so dress appropriately for the weather. They do have heaters they can turn on in the cold and sun shades to block the afternoon sun. There is a small parking lot behind the building and usually plenty of street parking.”

“My BFF and I tried another one in our list. I've been hearing about Nonna Mercato for a little while, but never got around to it. I've heard and read many good thing about place. First impression, is how we were warm welcome with the staff. Our server is friendly and attentive. They make everything from the bread, pastries, condiments, and pasta. The dishes are simple and traditional. We ordered the classic country bread with butter and peach jam with our Spanish Latte. The mushroom quiche with a small side salad with shaved parmesan was just average. The mushrooms lacked flavor but the pastry crust flaky and tasty. I guess i am not a fan. The croque seniora was just okay. I did bring home a Nutella croissant and a morning bun and both were fantastic. The croissant was generous with Nutella fillings. If I go back, I'll try maybe a pasta dish.”

“Came here for Brioche with ricotta, honey, and pistachio. Got two croissants which were Strawberry & cream and Bacon & onion for togo. For Brioche I requested for honey on the side because I prefer to adjust the sweetness by myself and it was perfectly scrumptious. Millions out of ten! Brioche itself was soft, buttery, and tasty so it complimented very well with ricotta and honey plus a bit crunchy from pistachio. Oh one bite and I was blown away. My taste buds were dancing happily. Let’s talk about croissants. Normally, I tend to like savory croissants more than sweet croissants. However, after I tried both of them, strawberry and cream is the winner. I really like the filling. I’m not sure if it’s mascarpone or something else that went really well with strawberry jam. It’s so freaking good! Bacon and onion croissant was not bad at all but as I stated earlier, strawberry & cream is the winner for me.”
