I honestly think because people see the sawmill as a market that the service is supposed to be fast but that's not the case I had to wait for my food and I didn't have any meat on my meal. I got lunch at a different place in the sawmill on Sunday and had to wait a while for my food because it had chicken in. People just need patience because my food was amazing even though I had to wait. I would definitely come here again. read more

Two reasons: First, my friend ordered a simple chicken Caesar salad. The service was very slow. The salad was sadly overpriced and the dressing tasted like salty seawater. I told him to address the issue, but since we were in a rush and on the road traveling, he didn't want to wait any longer to eat. Second, as we were leaving, I noticed that they had a couple of lemon desserts and wanted to quickly inquire about one of them. A simple question that could have easily been answered was met with a little hostility from one of the cooks in this open-concept kitchen. I ended up ordering the lavender lemon cupcake. Sounds tasty right? Nope, it was quite disappointing just like the salad and the attitude of the cook. read more

The wait for our order was unreasonably long. My son and I got salads, mine with tofu added his with chicken added. When I went up to check on our order, turns out our proteins had been sitting there and just needed the premade salads added to our to go bag. I asked if there was plastic wear in bag and she said yes. When we got back to Hotel Albuquerque to eat as quickly as we could before our conference started we discovered only one set of utensils and no dressing for our salads. The tofu was the saddest preparation I'd ever had. Definitely not a place I'd try again. read more

I was hopeful for this cafe l, but soon let down upon ordering. I ordered a veggie sandwich and added bacon l, but the portion and flavor for the price weren't worth it. I felt like I was waiting close to 20 minutes for the sandwich and the size was not what I was expecting. They do have a variety of other items on their menu that hopefully can compensate for it. The pastries they had in the front case did look good but I wasn't able to try one. Unfortunately if I'm back in the area I would probably skip out on trying them again. read more

I'm not sure why this place does not have many reviews nor good reviews, because this place had some of the best dishes I've had in a really long time! I enjoyed the simplicity of the dishes with the perfect seasoning. My boyfriend and I were very hungry in the morning and ended up ordering 4 dishes between the two of us. We ordered the Omlette, beef stew, breakfast bowl, and the avocado toast. Every single dish was amazing. My boyfriend who usually can't finish a dish managed to wipe his plate clean! The omelette is probably the best I've eaten and the grilled veggies were a beautiful accompaniment. The rice bowl has crispy bits of rice mixed with soft bits which made the dish a textural delight. Literally cannot say enough. I would be happy to make the trek out to Albuquerque again to have this meal! read more

Food is overpriced and poorly prepared. Ordered egg sandwich and bread was burnt only one egg on the sandwich. Salad was not fresh. For two people it cost us $60 and we threw away most of the food read more

This was the only place open in sawmill market open for food for breakfast. They have the usual American fare and I tried the veggie quiche. It was served with the salad. The quiche took a while to be prepared and took about 15 minutes. It's served with a small side salad. Overall good breakfast for the limited options at saw mill market early in mornign read more

They have us ham! After telling them to please be careful and not get any meat in our burrito. Look, we messed up the first order because we didn't see the ham as part of the ingredients. Has happened before, our mistake, so we pay again for a re-do but this time ask to not include any meat. Well to our surprise the first half was the only one without meat, ham in this case. So with our guard down we took a bite into the second half of the burrito...ham!. Sad that this had to be a rand and not a complete review. But you can have good food but when the service is this bad it takes all away. Hopefully you can enjoy this place since the ambiance is good and the place looks nice. The server didn't seem to like that I had to order again even though I never asked for a refund or anything. Paid again since it was my mistake at first. read more

The absolute saddest avocado toast there ever was. $14 is highway robbery for two slices of toast with a tiny bit of avocado that's partially spoiled. Calling this avocado toast is insulting. Lol read more

I was looking for a small type of dessert while browsing at the sawmill market. I came to mercantile cafe since the staff seemed super friendly and smiling from far away. Customers feel welcome when they are greeted with a smile. The lady at the back of the counter was very polite and helpful. We decided to go with the lemon meringue and the açaí dessert. I would say that my favorite one was the lemon meringue. The açaí dessert was neatly presented in its container but the flavors and taste was off. I do occasionally my own açaí desserts at home and I would say that this açaí dessert was below average. I don't finish the açaí dessert and it's rare when I don't eat my desserts. They seemed to have other menu items and a wide variety of sandwich options. The place was welcoming and felt like a San which deli. I will be returning for the lemon meringue dessert due to its creamy texture and richness in lemon flavor. read more

This review is solely based off their chia seed pudding. It was just ok - I'm not sure how well the lemon curd went with the pudding. There also could have been more fresh fruit...there were only 4 blueberries on it! read more

Cool place. Good atmosphere. But the $15 chicken salad sandwich was pretty not good. Unless you like dill or garlic. Sounded good like a traditional grape/apple and walnut salad, until you taste the odd flavored aioli. Maybe it's an acquired taste. Couldn't finish the sandwich. read more

When I tried checking in, Yelp didn't have this listing, so let's get this biz on the map and start things off with a quick thumbs-up. As I've grown up and grown boring, one of the things I've learned to listen to are the physiological signals my body sends me, particularly when I'm hungry. As I sat in line, today, debating what I wanted as a mid-morning bite to eat, my eyes drifted from the long list of omelets, burritos and baked goods and found themselves fixed on the prepared salads in the bakery case. The bright colors of one in particular, the Asiatic, held my gaze for a good twenty seconds and I thought, Hey, that's probably my body talkin'. And the more I thought about a bright dose of edamame, carrots, cabbage and cashews, doused in a sesame ginger dressing, the more compelled I felt. It was a delicious, enlightened treat, and I'm glad I took that flavor ride. read more

While on a weekend getaway to Albuquerque, we heard about the Sawmill Market and we're excited to try out this new food hall. After making our rounds we decided on Mercantile Cafe (one of the select few markets that were actually open during breakfast hours). After placing our order we sat out in the yard and enjoyed the nice weather. When my boyfriend came with our dishes we could stop laughing at my avocado toast - on the plate was practically a whole loaf of bread! I mean it looked good visually, but trying to eat it was not fun. I ended up scraping all the toppings onto one slice of bread and that was STILL too much bread for the 1/4 avocado on the plate. Quality over quantity. On the other hand his breakfast sandwich was fantastic, so I'd suggest opting for that until they rework that avocado toast recipe. read more

I've been flying in and out of Albuquerque for work. The last two times I stopped by here because it's one of the only places open at Sawmill for breakfast. Both times they got my orders wrong. I have a gluten and dairy allergy. First time I ordered a veggie omelet with no cheese. I got a veggie Sandwich. -couldn't eat it as it was pressed between bread. (Gluten) second time, just this morning, I tried to order the same thing -veggie omelet with no cheese. I got the omelet but, it had melted cheese all inside. I don't know if the people taking orders here are awake or just not listening but this is the worst luck or service for $15-20 breakfast. My fault for not checking till I was already in the car to the airport and couldn't bring it back to be redone. Complete waste of money and time. Obviously never going back. read more

One star for poor costumer service from our cashier. Younger light brown-haired cashier was extremely rude. Food would've been better without the attitude. read more

Best veggie omelette I ever ate, hands down. No diced green pepper and tomatoes here. Layers of fresh roasted tomato, red pepper, artichoke, eggplant, arugula, and pickled onions. Chopped pistachio, pesto. Fluffy eggs with just the right amount of cheese. It was amazing. read more

OMG! The stuffed French toast is incredible! Wonderful start to our Beyond Van Gogh experience.

Amazing deliscous food. Stuffed French Toast with Ricotta cheese and peaches. Yes Sir(up)...maple. Seasonal chilled or hot soup. Try the classic N.M. salad. read more

Very disappointing meal. The pre-packaged salad was primarily iceberg lettuce, and the avocado added to the top had many brown spots. For a $15 salad with no meat, I expected more. The $10 bowl of soup was good but the portion was small (8 ounces according to the chef) and had only one piece of chicken. read more
