Their 'Rubin's' pastrami sandwich was quite simply the best sandwich I've ever had! Very friendly staff. Will definitely be going back next time I'm in Islington.
Came in for a Reubens, excellent service considering the young lady was working solo on a saturday... hope her pay check will reflect! Food wonderful... I'd argue Best Reuben in North London, Montys Hoxton close second! �
Go here.... Great food and no plastic cups..... A million stars from me
I never know what to order because I want to order EVERYTHING. So many delicious options. Lots of veggie options as well. They only use recyclable and compostable materials for packaging.
Nice little café on Chapel Market. Delicious coffee and very good food. Bagels are great and the pistachio/polenta cake is terrific. Nice guys as well.
Delicious salt beef beigel (bagel) was the star here. Packs a heavy mustard punch. Very generous serving of salt beef.
Flat white was alright. Better in the area.
For a small cafe, they have the best food!! Whenever I see some salt beef, it's a must to try and the one they had was so tasty. Very friendly staff as well but I'm unsure if they had a toilet considering the size.
I just had one of the best cheese & tomatoe toasties.. EVER.

Thank you Mercer for having us! I had such a nice time presenting my book there!
I absolutely love this place.
Eating their Reuben Sandwich simply fills me with joy. The ratio of meat, condiment and pickles is just perfect. Most places in the UK serves this with not enough meat. Not Mercer. This is a deep filled and is a real handful to hold and to take a bite out of. Good Salt Beef, good rye bread. Just great. It really reminds me of a good Reuben that you might get in New York.
The service is very friendly but can be a bit casual which I think some might find unsavoury. They're lovely people though. And I really enjoy going there.
Great place to hang out. Food looks good and delicious! Service is friendly.
Great food at prices that beat the chains, and the other more pretentious cafes in Islington hands down. Definitely recommend!

I discovered Mercer Cafe during the lockdown and developed a love for the place. A good coffee, nice tuna melt sandwich, a delicious cake became a regular for me. During lockdown, Mercer would be my daily 10-11 am stroll/ walk. Its centrally placed, reasonably priced, clean and friendly.
I will admit, it was the pleasant and positive energy at the cafe which pulled me. While the coffee is good, what I enjoyed is the atmosphere- good music and phenomenal people. The cafe was quiet but Martina kept the energy up. While the lockdown was daunting, going to Mercer felt like the familiar positive energy. Martina is very warm, knowledgeable, artistic, creative and very uplifting.
Over a period, i have interacted with other servers at Mercer and acknowledge that they have an artistic side too. Elijah, Deborah, Oliver, all of them very warm and friendly!
So while you enjoy a cuppa coffee to spend time with a chat and you may explore a creative tangent. I will highly recommend it if you are
around the area.
Tried this place for the first time today as they do lunch boxes for a bit over £5. I had the combo box which was veggie/beans chilli and two salads and overall I was really impressed. Much better than I was expecting it to be, particularly the bean chilli. I will definitely be back to try out the tasty looking (if slightly expensive) Reubens sandwich they also sell there.
I used to live locally and would get a salt beef bagel weekly. Just as good as the famous ones in brick lane. There are tables outside in good weather.
I strongly recommend that people go there. I was served by a very lovely man named Luca. He was a ray of sunshine. He was so full of life. It was very refreshing to be quite honest with you. I would definitely go back there again. It's nice to go where you are made to feel welcomed.
New to me. NY style small one room deli in Chapel Market. Does good coffee, smoothies, juices and deli style food such as bagels, chilli, toasties, salt beef and Reubens sandwiches. Clean premises. Friendly and polite server. Eat in or take away.
