Mercer's of Marlborough in Wiltshire

Great place nice friendly atmosphere and good value for money

Lovely, quirky, quality cafe in the heart of Marlborough. Superb light lunches, with a good range of drinks, cakes and tasty snacks; we all had superb sandwiches and deilcious drinks, and the rustic charm and atmosphere of the building makes it a fine place to eat and chill with friends.

Delicious food. Friendly service and very dog friendly. Food was fresh and hit the spot after a long walk at the Savernake Forest. We will definitely return to this little gem off the high street.

Food was very disappointing! "Soft style scrambled eggs and sautéed mushrooms on toast" Eggs were bland and overcooked, pale yellow in colour and had 0 taste no matter how much salt you added. The mushrooms were abysmal, I was expecting "sautéed" but was given mushrooms clearly out of a tin, no caramelisation or seasoning, likely cooked in a microwave as the water content still in them went into the eggs and made them grey, poor. DOGS! The dog situation was disgusting, 3/4 of the people that came into the café had dogs, its fine if you're in a pub or somewhere easy for drinks - not if you're in an eatery, sat down trying to eat your food and there's literal hair going onto your table from yapping dogs under your feet from other tables. Really poor, unhygienic. Coffee was actually nice and the staff were good but leave motorway services style food at the services and kick the dogs out, the worst thing was skipping on Bunce's for a change to try Mercer's - big mistake!!

Popped in for a coffee. The young staff members were friendly , and efficient. There is a good ambience to the cafe. Worth stepping off the High Street to visit.

Our go to place for a good cuppa and lunch. Plenty of Gluten free options. Pooch friendly. Not many down stairs tables but they do have an upstairs.

What an amazing cafe this is. Wonderful food and great service and extremely dog friendly! Would highly recommend 😍 have visited several times with our older dog when she was a puppy and have brought our new pup here a few times too, she loves it and the owner and staff could not have been more welcoming

The best tasting teacakes that we have ever had!......see you again when in your area ladies.

Check it out!! Stopped at this little coffee shop, very friendly staff… coffee wasn’t bad either only I offered mine to the homeless person after a couple of sips who was sat under the arch just before the high street! He said he really liked the coffee, so I guess it was really nice!! I had no complaints from the teaspoon amount I had. Place is fairly small with a few tables, but to be honest, it’s well stocked and fairly clean. Cappuccino was £3.10 for a small and I got extra chocolate sprinkles!! Worth a visit!

It is a great cafe with friendly staff and great food.

Lovely cafe wonderfully staff food was excellent highly recomend a visit

Friendly staff and a great toasted sandwich, thank you.

A really nice place to stop for tea and cake. The staff were nice and our order served quickly.

Lovely coffee and very accommodating staff

Excellent full English breakfast today, lovely food, excellent cheerful team will certainly come again as it's a pleasure to be looked after Thank you

Excellent coffee and fab things to eat both sweet and savoury. Pity about all the cleaning equipment and junk lying about in the room upstairs.

I dropped in by chance and ordered at the counter, taking a seat upstairs. I ordered Victoria Sponge cake that was to die for. It had what I am sure was fresh and delicious homemade jam in it. The Americano coffee I had was average to good. Ordered flat bread with bacon and cheese. It was really good with a very generous serving of well cooked bacon. Nice friendly staff. I thoroughly recommend Mercer's if you are passing through Marlborough and want a wholesome snack.

Lovely little cafe off main high st. Great choice of food - home made soups, nice range of toasties and lovely home made cakes. And dog friendly. Recommended.

Ordered 2 cups ot tea and 2 toasted sandwiches. Tea was quick to arrive but sandwiches took 40 minutes and one was wrong. Waitress took it away and bought a replacement 5 minutes later. Tiny sandwiches cut into 4 mouthfuls with a very small amount of cheese inside and a of undressed garnish. No cutlery and no napkin. Waitress did not manage to crack a smile. Really disappointing.

First time visit, will visit more often.

We called it a few months ago and had a top notch English breakfast,since then l heard that she does an amazing crab sandwich. I have always liked the look but never had the courage to try one, that changed today and wow am l glad l did it was delicious, if you like crab or like me would like to try one for the first time this is the place to go, that all wrapped up in a cosy atmosphere and lovely staff thankyou. Until the next time.

Even though we arrived just 10 minutes before closing time, we were made to feel very welcome. I enjoyed a delicious cake with a pot of tea. I didn’t feel at all hurried. And my dachshund was also spoilt with treats. All round excellent service.

Fantastic coffee and sandwiches. My friend and I come here regularly for lunch and have never been disappointed. They lady that works here is always friendly and welcoming. Best cafe in Marlborough.

Lovely quaint little place. Very good food. One of the best tasting coffees

Excellent coffee just off the High Street. I didn't have food but it smelt delicious.

Ate here for the first time today and I’m really glad l found this little gem . Amazing attention to detail and spotlessly clean. The varied menu was tempting but went for a full breakfast and a pot of tea,the service was quick and efficient with the staff friendly and polite, l can honestly say it was the best I’ve had for years, quality ingredients very well cooked and presented . Well done will definitely be coming back.

Great coffee and cake. Friendly staff.

The Mercers owner really tries to be inclusive for people with allergies. She had gluten-free options and dairy free options, too. She was also happy for my daughter to eat her own food as she has egg and oat allergy to go with the gluten and dairy. My daughter had a dairy Free milkshake, with plenty of options on the dairy free milk. (Made also with dairy free ice-cream) I had an almond milk latte and a gluten and dairy free brownie. It's nice to be able to go out for a coffee and not feel like a hindrance. A massive thank you.

We’ve not been to Marlborough for some time and usually go to polleys tea rooms. Went in sat Down and was completely underwhelmed with the menu, felt very cramped and the cakes which used to be so nice looked very average so left without having anything. Then just happend upon Mercer’s in a little alley just near the car park. Extremely welcoming, good food, great value and everything home made. We will certainly return next time we visit from Fairford.

What a hidden gem! Dogs very welcome. Excellent sausage sandwich, great menu, friendly service. Couldn't ask for more.

Popped in for lunch and loved this quirky little cafe.

Excellent coffee and homemade cakes. Comfortable. Friendly staff.

Came here for breakfast with my son it was so good came back with my wife great coffee genuine good country food my new favourite place

An excellent coffee shop with friendly staff. The bacon and sausage baps 100% every time. Welcoming despite always covered in mud! Banter with the staff is always a draw for us!! Fully recommend 100%. Good job girls👍

Found Mercer's by accident when visiting Marlborough. We were searching for somewhere dog friendly and happened to find this lovely place. Very dog friendly. Food was freshly made and very good. We will definitely be back!

Popped in for breakfast and cake, to catch up with a friend. Lovely sausage and egg sandwich and the lemon and blueberry cake was fabulous. Waitress couldn’t have been more helpful

Absolutely delicious had a jacket probably the best in wiltshire!!! GREAT SERVICE THANKS

Very nice toasted sandwich hot tea and amazing sweet potato chips (fries) the waitress was very helpful and cheerful all around a wonderful experience (toilet very clean)

As usual lovely coffee and cake served with a smile. Always a dog biscuit for our whippet. Recommended

Really great cakes & coffee. Shame we filled up on them first so didn't have room for lunch. Great service too.

Phenomenal place for coffee, milkshakes, cakes, breakfast, lunch. The lady who served us deserves massive praise! Very lovely, and does an incredible job! Would definitely come back!

I love the fresh crab salads Sandwiches, the crab is so fresh and yummy

Person who served us was not very welcoming. Quite a small selection of cakes. After the glowing reviews I'd read I expected much better. Considering the amount of good looking competition nearby I think they really need to try harder. Sadly, not recommended.

Hidden treasure, whilst people were queuing in the various establishments along the high street, I found this cafe, glorious, friendly staff, nice menu and no queues, fantastic.

Coffee was lovely served with a smile. It's always nice to have table service when sitting out in the sun

We stopped for lunch at Mercer’s. The lady was working alone to a reasonably full restaurant. We had efficient service, the Buddha bowl salad was the best we have ever had, and very reasonably priced. Even the fries were wonderful. Would definitely visit again.

We used to go to Mercers quite a lot !!!!

Arrived after a long drive to this beautifully welcoming coffee shop tucked away off the high street . Super friendly owner -opened the doors for me as I was early !! delicious coffee and I’m coming back at lunch time for those waffles !! Easily pay double the price for these in the city . What a joy . Thank you Mercer’s 🙏🏻

My first visit back to Mercer’s and the town of Marlborough after the pandemic has somewhat eased and boy how I’ve missed it . The lovely owner is still there along with the delightful staff although a couple have left due to the pandemic and very tough times she was saying. The coffee which is their forte was superb as usual, a really flavourful flat white and to eat I treated myself to the fish and chips which was new to me in here, it was truly delicious with light fluffy batter and succulent haddock inside and a nice helping of chips and mushy peas. No room for the homemade cake this time sadly. Great to be back and keep up the good work guys, See you in the summer!

Pleasant enough, we had two average coffees upstairs in a very forgettable setting.

Lovely little cafe and great food. Dog friendly and very welcoming staff - will definitely be using again

Really nice food and a lovely Mocha

Great service and always great coffee and amazing cake . Very bike friendly too

Great ride out to Malborough and great food too never a bad one 😁

The best chai latte I have had in a long time. Very tempting selection of cakes, we had the frangipane and black cherry shortcake - delicious! Despite being short staffed the service was very good and the staff very friendly.

Amazing coffee, very tasty! And the cinnamon bun makes it even better! Will definitely come back.

Welcoming cafe. Indoor and outdoor seating. Covid arrangements excellent. Such a lovely welcome. Food excellent. Jacket potato 🥔 with cheese wow. Mozzarella and onion toasty perfect. Vegan chocolate loaf cake perfect. Toilet upstairs. Handrail and even steps. Accessible toilet in town square. Lots of buses. Free blue badge parking. A must visit. The 2 ladies very welcoming. True hospitality.

Truly delicious coffee. Loved the cafe and its vibe.

We popped into Mercer’s for a quick coffee. Great independent coffee shop - fabulous service and great coffee. We would recommend

Lovely atmosphere. Food tasty. Covid compliant. Will be going again

Best crab sandwich we've had in a long time. Was the day's special. Lovely friendly service.

Nice but small capuchinos. Crab sandwiches tasty

Excellent fresh Brixham Crab sandwich. Wonderful cakes. All served with a smile. 🌞

Dropped in for Lunch whilst visiting Marlborough. Decided to sit outside in the sunshine. Excellent Service as usual when visiting Mercers. Coffee ,soft drinks , Jacket potato for me and a Lovely Omlette for my wife. All Excellent and with Very Friendly service and so Reasonably Priced. What more could you ask, perfect end to a short visit to Marlborough Thank you to the Lovely owner of Mercers , we will be back soon

Stopped here for a quick coffee and cake before setting off for home after a day out in the town. Good coffee and nice cakes. Friendly staff.

Lovely lovely lovely veggie breakfast options.

This is lovely little cafe and does really good assortment of cakes, and light meals, well worth a visit

Pit stop for hot drinks, sandwiches and cake with friends. Due to restrictions it is only seating outside which were on bistro tables. I hade a prawn sandwich and frangipani cake. Great filling with a good prawn Marie sauce. The cake was also good and they serves a good quality tea and coffee.

Nice coffee and chocolate drinks.

Very nice place for food. Great help staff. Very clean

Lovely coffee and breakfast to takeaway

Visited this morning, it was a shame it was raining as we could have sat outside but got a table inside. Very clean and covid friendly. Good choice of homemade cakes and hot food. Lovely latte. We will definitely be back.

Stopped for milkshakes. Very good. Small cafe with lovely staff. Good covid arrangements. Toilet upstairs. Public Toilet is open in the Square and is accessible.

Love it! Wonderful little Café in Marlborough. When I'm Marlborough I always try to visit here. I love the sandwiches. There have room upstairs and the staff are alway attentive and friendly. The café itself is acutally Kind of hidden away from the main high Street. But, if you can find it well worth the visit.

Nice tasting coffee and the bacon sarny done to my perfection. Would not hesitate to visit again when passing through Marlborough. Parking is cheap and easy to find in the town centre car park just outside the premises.

Our first return visit after shielding during lockdown. Excellent lunch, all covid secure, felt comfortable and safe. Highly recommended. We'll be back soon, thank you.

They were open with a few tables outside. They had a table in the doorway for orders for take away and table service.

Terrible customer service, made us stand and wait while she gabbled on the phone for over 10 minutes, not even acknowledging us. Having worked in the customer service and catering industry, first rule is to serve the customer that's stood in front of you, telephone orders take second place. Amateur customer service. I do not recommend.

Super breakfast; quality produce, fair price and service with a smile. Also dog friendly. Will be back.

Quality food, quick service in a busy little restaurant. Lovely, helpful staff. Ther are planty of places, more seating upstairs so don't be put off by the size downstairs. great coffee too. Prices are competetive within the general area and the atmosphere is warm and friendly. Particularly good is the Omelette and chips, served with side salad. Some lovely cakes available along with a selection of sandwiches, drinks and smoothies. Lovely plavce to chill.

What a great find just off the Main Street. Excellent food and service. Nothing was too much trouble. Dog friendly too. Highly recommend.

Lovely coffee and toasted teacakes. A delightful cafe with good service.

Love it here. Great food and always up for a chat and a bit of banter. The lemon polenta cake is superb

We called in for lunch on a horrible wet day,the food was freshly cooked,coffee was amazing staff friendly and we were able to take our dog inside too,thoroughly recommend to all

First class service and the most wonderful chips.

Nice ambience, good service, excellent cakes and good food. Our first visit today and we will be back. Thank you all.

Fantastic coffees and cakes, will definitely be back.

Lovely dog friendly cafe with nice cakes. Our dog got given a treat and a fuss.

Lovely food and friendly staff. Thanks for having us.

Choice of gluten free flapjack or brownie, both of which were delicious, along with many other gluten containing cakes. Menu was well labelled with vegan and gluten free options, staff were friendly and helpful.

Very pleasant cafe just off the main shopping road amongst lots of little interesting shops. Lovely.

Brilliant cafe good menu good prices 😊

We called in for lunch on our travels, although it was very busy ( Saturday lunchtime) we managed to get a seat upstairs in the coffee lounge . We were served punctually by a nice friendly girl who’s served us before and nothing was too much trouble. We both had the smoked Salmon from the Xmas fare menu and I couldn’t resist a glass of the mulled cider which was very nice. My wife always has the latte but this time opted for the Baileys Latte which again was a fantastic accompaniment! Another great stop off in our favourite eatery in the town.

But they are more than that. There's always a lovely choice of cakes welcoming you when you go in. Freshly made cooked breakfasts and the best coffee going. We are always greeted with a smile and a friendly face. It is a dog friendly place, and it really is. We are local to Marlborough and we are often popping in.

Out for a walk around Marlborough chanced on this delightful tea and coffee shop. Warm, tea was good and the cake better. The staff were great and it rounded off a really good afternoon.

Stopped for a bite to eat and coffee. Great service by friendly staff. Quick table service. Lovely coffee and the bacon and sausage butties were really tasty with good size portions. Thanks.

A highlight of a Saturday shopping expedition. Beautiful gluten free cakes and a hot drink that make it seem like an outing instead of necessary shopping. Can't rate it highly enough.

We were travelling from London to Cornwell and it was recommended that we sop over for brunch at Mercer's. A very good choice. The breakfast coffee, atmosphere and service was excellent. this kind of experience makes travelling a joy. Will definitely sop there again.

The soup was very tasty! The young lady who served us was lovely! BUT the cafe was in the middle of receiving an order so the cafe was untidy. I saw that ice cream had been delivered so asked for a couple of scoops for dessert. I was told "No", in a very aggressive way (by an older lady who I suspect was the manager) "it is special ice-cream that can only be used for milkshakes".It clearly had Marshfield marked on the tub which I know to be an excellent brand. Please could you explain why you did not wish to make a couple of extra pounds by selling me an ice-cream? Your verbal customer service skills were not the best.
