"Marina Merchantile is such a gem! We visited Marina Merchantile for the first time this weekend for afternoon tea, and we had a wonderful time. It was incredibly easy to make an online reservation for our tea time. When we arrived, we were welcomed with a tray of tea leaves in jars to smell and browse through along with the tea menu of a variety of green tea, black tea and tisane. We were able to pick a tea each and they even allowed us to try other flavors throughout our reservation! Tea is served with brown sugar cubes and cream. They were also super kind enough to allow us to bring a paint by number kit to do as we enjoy our treats and tea! They do have themed events and sell watercolor paint kits as well! The service was top notch, everyone was super friendly and checked in on us to make sure we were doing well and to just chat. I really appreciate the feeling of community here. Super welcoming! The food we received was also more than enough for us to enjoy as we painted! There was a savory tier of egg croissants, egg bites, and cucumber cream cheese sandwich bites, then there was a tier of classic tea time scones, and lastly, a sweet tier of macaroons, blueberry muffins, and these delicious waffle bites! They also serve more food you can order separately. Such a perfect space for a girls day! I will definitely be back!"

"I hosted an engagement party here and Brenda/Richard were very easy and pleasant to work with - they had great recommendations and made everything a breeze when it came to the actual party. The spread was amazing (charcuterie board, flatbreads, sandwiches) and they even made us our favorite cake, a London Fog, to share with everyone at the party. Lovely venue and staff were so kind. Host your private event / party here!"

"Such a warm and cozy and fun place for a birthday tea! Great food and prices. We had a lovely time. Brenda and the crew made it really special for us! Just so beautiful and gorgeous!"

"Wanted to do a flight and that was easy to order and the server was very knowledgeable. I did order an appetizer and two of three things didn’t show up as they were “out of them”. When I asked, another server replied, “yeah, that’s all we have” yet was charged full price. I purchased a recommended bottle of wine and it was a tad oxidized but drinkable and my guests were ok with it. Not worth the $22 I paid but had already served it and didn’t feel it was appropriate to return. Very cute place. Will try again and update my review if appropriate."

"We were celebrating my friends birthday and the bartender Katie was amazing so fun and friendly! Took a picture for us and drinks were delicious! The food was also AMAZING we loved the steak sandwich, meat was super tender and the salad dressing was to die for! Will definitely be coming back! Great spot!"
