Thanks to a tip from Skye Truax of the Occasional Wife, we stumbled upon the new Merchant Cafe downtown.
Not only is the space designed incredibly, the food is delicious, the atmosphere is chic but laid back, but to top it all off they serve Illy!!
Stop by 800 Common St on the ground floor of the Martime Building to check it out.
