Just  a few miles from downtown, nestled in the scenic foothills of northwest Boise is "The Merc" a quaint eatery and shop with all the look and feel of a cozy, small town General Store of yesteryear.

 There is no question how they coined the phrase, Meet me at The Merc. The atmosphere and décor here are warm and welcoming. Have a latte on the couch with a friend, watch the BSU game with room full of friends bring the kids by after school, or enjoy a meal with the family. The friendly staff does everything they can to make your visit an enjoyable one. And that's what it feels like when you come here, like you're visiting friends!

 The Merc serves breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. Take a look at our menu.  Our retail shop offers a variety of convenience items and one-of-a-kind gifts and cards many of which are handmade by local artisans.  We also provide catering and party services.

 The Merc is a WiFi Hotspot and has DIRECTV HD, the NFL Sunday Ticket and College GameDay (all provided compliments of CTC Telecom). It is the social gathering place for live music, parties, ladies Bunco, BSU and Idaho games, wine tastings, events for the kids and adults alike, afterschool specials, and so much more.  Please take a moment to check out our Events Calendar and plan to come see us.  And while you’re at it glance through our Photo Gallery for a view of The Merc as seen through the lens of a camera.
