La Merceria

This cute-as-a-button café shop oozes girly charm.

They've got the most delicious almond croissants I've ever tasted (flaky with powdered sugar and sweet filling) and the BEST empanadas. Make your choice from spinach and ricotta, beef, tuna, or chicken, and try their garlicy sauce.

Say farewell to boring, ordinary water coolers! This charming little resto offers free, fruit-infused water while you wait for your meal or take a look at the unique items for sale. Try to get them on a strawberry water day!

this place is an absolutely lovely store/cafe...aside from the charming goodies for sale, such as picture frames and unique bathroom accessories, their food is also delicious! I opted for the chicken empanadas and while they're not particularly large, they are stuffed with perfectly seasoned chicken and veggies - all surrounded by a light dough. A wonderful place to shop and eat!

They are not just a store, but a café as well. I ordered a mocha and instead of the usual syrup that I thought I would get, they MELTED a stick of chocolate in my drink and added a cinnamon stick for stirring! The couches and lounging area also look quite comfortable and relaxing. The owners are friendly and welcoming to their customers.

you could go to a other stores and sort through a million items looking for the right table setting or bed linens, but why bother when the perfect ones are waiting for you at La Merceria. They don't have a wide selection, but they don't need it when everything they carry is just want you wanted. I have no idea how I have never heard of this store until this week. It is now my go-to shop for anything I need for myself - or the perfect gift for anyone else.
