New Summer Menu

Summer is upon us! At The Mercantile, we've been wondering where the time went and how June snuck upon us so quickly! Fortunately, we're excited for summer to get here and even more excited at all of the wonderful, fresh eats that summer's bounty can bring.

Expect some changes around The Mercantile in coming weeks. Anyday now, the Georgia Department of Revenue is going to get it in gear and issue us our state license. Once that happens, wine and beer will be available for your summer at home dining pleasures.

Picnic, concert and screen on the green season is officially in full swing. Remember The Mercantile for all of your picnic and summer catering needs. Bre Edmonds featured The Mercantile in Points North magazine as a great spot to pick up your outdoor gourmet fare. Check out her article!

Chef Samantha and I have also decided that summer is a good opportunity to change our menu format. Starting this week, The Mercantile will have a menu comprised of dinner specials for the entire week. Monday through Friday, you can rely upon a minimum of three choices to be available for dinner starting at 4:00 pm. Expect to find a set selection of items for summer out of our deli case. As always our soups will continue to rotate daily.

Perhaps the biggest adjustment for the summer are new brunch selections for the weekend! We are thrilled to announce that on Saturday and Sunday, our specials will be brunch items available ALL DAY or while they last. You can enjoy those along our snack rail or pick up and head to the park. We think a few more brunch selections is perfect for the Dekalb Avenue Corridor and we hope you'll stop in to check us out!

See you in the shop!

-Janea and Chef Samantha
