Mercador Cafe is a classic Porto dining experience. We dined here for breakfast. Both of us ordered pancakes with berries. Mine had pistachio sauce and hers had yogurt. Both were delicious but I think hers was best as it was sweetened with honey. We were the first customers when Mercador opened at 8:30am and it was filling up quickly after that. Service was pleasant and efficient in English or Portuguese. I would definitely come back although sadly this is our last day in Porto. read more

Mercador Cafe was one of the awesome dining experiences I had when I was in Porto! The food was both aesthetically and palate pleasing that I really wished I had another chance to go back and dine there again! Their menu consisted of food that sounded like just normal breakfast food but I was so impressed with the way they prepared and served the food! Mine was just an Acai Power Bowl..but wow...lots of thoughts and fresh ingredients went into it! It was so refreshing to have that as breakfast! I also loved the Lattella...a nice take on Latte, with a touch of Nutella in it! Hmm..I would totally have both again! The only thing I wished they had was...the blueberry cheesecake!! They had just carrot cake and didn't have the cheesecake that I was eye-ing when I went there! But..honestly, I don't think you could go wrong with anything you eat at Mercador Cafe at all! Note: the place got packed fast! I was there within 10 minutes of opening and there was just a few tables left! By the time it was 20-25 minutes in from opening time, every table was full and people were waiting outside! read more

Mercador Café - Scrambled eggs and avocado on toast! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Porto, 13

Mercado Cafe is a cute little cafe on Flowers street. There are quite a few other cafes offering similar fare along this pedestrian street. Came in for a quick bite and coffee. The ambiance felt nice and they had a couple open tables. The interior is a bit bigger than some of the other cafes. I liked that they offered a variety of beverages and small plates of brunch food. We ordered a mozzarella toast that was pretty basic, but delicious. It was a little on the expensive side relative to other Portugal prices, but standard for US prices. The service was ok, a little slow, but at least we didn't feel rushed. read more

The best breakfast spot in Porto. Perfectly cooked poached egg. The bacon was delicious and the Lionese waffle was incredible! The wait staff is fast, friendly and efficient. We sat by the front window and thoroughly enjoyed the people watching. The pastel de nata rivals the best tarts in Belem. If there is a line at this place, get in it. read more

Really cute place that we found on our last day in Porto. Would have definitely eaten here again if in Porto again. Lots of fun ceramic coffee mugs and espresso cups to enjoy perusing or purchase. I was really wanting eggs and bacon after all our European breakfasts. Found it here and it was delicious! Also ordered fruit bowl on the side and it was full of a nice variety of fruits. Desserts like the blueberry cheesecake looked yummy but we were too full to order one. Try this place it's a little off the main tourist strip and well worth it! read more

Great place for breakfast. Among the very best scrambled eggs I've had. Friendly and attentive staff, convenient location. Highly recommend.

Really great brunch spot! Their bread was both soft and crunchy and they had this Sunrise juice that was a blend of fresh squeezed orange and carrot, ginger, and turmeric. Also their mugs are made of really beautiful ceramic. read more

Mercador Café - Egg + Avocado Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Porto, 13

We were taking here by a friend we were meeting in Porto, who is a native, to try some local food, and darn was it good! First of all, the internal decoration is sublime and definitely a tasteful throw-back to the early 20th century. The servers are quick and nice and very helpful as to the choice of dishes, wine or general information. You can hear yourself inside and conduct a conversation without having to scream; which is quite nice! The food itself is pretty amazing. We went for the two most typical dishes - Bacalau and octopus. Both were extremely delicious and filling and went well with the Vinho Verde of the house we were recommended (which was pretty delicious by itself btw). Their deserts were pretty great as well! Among other things we took the pastel de Nata as a base reference, and it had both a nice taste and a nice texture; being overall great. Overall, it's a really enjoyable location with tasty food, surprisingly located in one of the most touristy locations of Porto. And a great place to visit! read more

Twice in 2 days. Excellent service. Fast and courteous. Servings are huge Benedicts with a twist.Avocado toasts as well. Will come back when in Porto. read more

The waffles are great!!! We ordered Benedict and white omelette with goat cheese, and latella for drink. I think the waffle was 4.7/5. Rest of food and drinks was good too, 4.1/5. Ambience is nice! Would come back for banana dulce waffle - banoffe !!!! read more

Love everything about this place! Food, people, ambiance, coffee, prices, etc.! Just make sure you get there early! We arrived 15 minutes before it opened and they seated us at 5 minutes before "official" opening (9 am). By 9:20 the place was packed with a line out the door!! read more

Been here a few times for light food and tea. The ambiance is romantic and intimate, great for a couple or small group. A good amount of locals here. Surprisingly quiet cafe. Even when almost full, the noise level stays pretty reasonable; maybe there aren't enough Americans like me to make it obnoxiously loud! The staff is efficient and courteous, and they speak decent English. WiFi is free and reliable. The tea service is good, and I had the toast a couple of times. First time was just toast and olive oil, and it was beautifully executed. I could go on and on about the quality of the bread, the crispiness, the taste of the olive oil, and well, heck, who doesn't love warm toast and olive oil? The second was toast with goat cheese, pumpkin jam, and walnut, which seemed a bit peculiar reading it on the menu, but it was lovely to taste. They have bakery goods, including some pastries, such as pastel de natas. Bathrooms: Two, one in back and then there's another one in the little courtyard at the back, the brown door. That one is rather cute and more spacious. All are well-maintained and functional. read more

This place was a great find, I'll start with the service. Goao our server was the best. Right from the start he made us feel welcome with a warm friendly greeting....(don't get many of these in some European restaurants) nevertheless it was greatly appreciated to say the least. He started with the beverage orders, Americano for me, OJ for wifey, Bananas Smoothie and water for my sons. I must say the Americano hit the spot on this chilly morning. (I ordered another one, no free coffee refills here guys lol) The food was spectacular, I had the goats cheese toast with walnuts and preserves and man was it good. Sons had the steak burger with homemade chips and the other a Cacao Bowl....I wanted to get bite of that steak burger, but when I looked up, he was licking his fingers as the burger was longer on his plate. I'll close with, this is a must try when visiting Porto you won't be disappointed. Oh yeah price points are in line with the quality of food and service, you get your money's worth here. read more

By far the best breakfast in Portugal , by head & shoulders. Waffles (gotta ask for butter & syrup) perfect poached eggs and delicious bacon. Juice of the day was some kind of unique pineapple blend. Sherryls Portuguese French toast had a egg cream custard on top. It too was delicious. Full menu brings us back tomorrow for fancy stacked toasts, , fruit cups and flavored yogurts. read more

Breakfast of champions! We needed a break from Portuguese style breakfast. This place gave us an American option with Portuguese quality eggs, exceptional bread, fresh produce and of course the best in bacon imaginable! Coffee latte was hot and similar to an American portion. Although often lacking in Europe, customer service was great when prompted, as usual. We had the avocado scramble, 2 egg any style plate and omelette. All exceptional and made to our order. read more

Phenomenal breakfast in a wonderfully decorated cafe with easily the best pastel de nata in Porto

Nice ambiance, friendly staff, food was a little pricey for what it was. Eggs Benedicts were very simply plated but they were good. Cheeseburger came on English muffins instead of buns which was kinda weird but still good. Fries were banging though. Overall, it was aight. read more

This was our first breakfast experience in Porto! My fiancé had the Prego (steak sandwich) and I had the Açaí bowl! Both were so yummy, and looked delicious. Service is wonderful and the wait staff is so friendly! We went twice and sat inside and outside and both were very enjoyable. It feels just like a classic breakfast cafe! Would definitely go again! read more

I am updating this review because I subsequently found out that they lied to me because I am a tourist and told me they don't take credit cards. They refused to take my credit card and insisted they only took cash and eventually said they would take PayPal. I subsequently found out they do take credit cards and only pulled that shenanigans because I am American. I am sick and tired of traveling and having businesses pretend they don't take credit cards when they do. Porto: excellent cafe for brunch! It's tucked on a quiet street with lots of shopping. The brunch menu is diverse with lots of healthy options. Highly recommend the fruit bowl and avocado toast. read more

Great place in Porto if you're craving a real breakfast beyond pastries. I had been jonesing for a Benedict and they have them. If you're looking for breakfast potatoes you might find theirs a bit different. All they seemed to have were house made potato chips. They were actually pretty good with our breakfasts. Coffee was up to Portugal standards. read more

Great breakfast! We oreldered eggs Benedict, which was excellent. The sauce is light and tasty. We also ordered bacon, eggs, w/ toast, avocado & tomatoes. The toast comes dipped in olive oil, just in case you're expecting butter. Also had a pastel de nata which was excellent. The OJ was fresh and the coffee was delicious! Cute cafe atmosphere. Inside and outside seating. The service is excellent as well. I highly recommend this place and will likely come back while we're here. read more

What a great find -- all thanks to Yelp. The four of us went for breakfast today, right when they opened at 9 (we've realized things are a bit later to open in Porto than we are used to in California). It's a great breakfast place with a lot of options for all our party. Two each had a rainbow bowl and they loved it. I had Scrambled eggs and spinach (Popeye eggs) which were what you would expect. My partner had Eggs in the oven which he really liked mostly because it was unusual. And the side of toast he got was enough for the 2 of us to share (more like a crusty bread loaf then sandwich bread). For drinks, the lattes were good, not great, and the hot chocolate really seemed like melted chocolate in a teacup. Was way too rich for my liking, but I am sure others will love it. As the hot chocolate got cooler, the chocolate got thicker which make me think I really did just drink a candy bar! Nice place for breakfast and I would certainly recommend it. read more
