The "dip" is pretty good, I ordered cocktail "pachamama" , low key spot for casual brunch. Amazing outdoors and aesthetic.

SO good. Absolutely adorable inside, good service. Very large restaurant with spacious outdoor as well. Wonderful brunch menu - the sourdough pancakes, fried squab and corn cakes, pork roll sandwich, and fried chicken sandwich were all legit 10/10. Tiki cocktails totally delicious - especially the Piña colada with roasted coconut. Make a reservation and go!!!! read more

First, don't get your hopes up for something that you see on the menus on this app. They seem to change often. I came here wanting the MM Benedict but was told that it's only available on the weekends. Second, this is not a sit and be served place. This is an order at the counter then find a seat place. With that said, the SEC was very good. It's an egg, chicken sausage and cheese on a English muffin. There is the slightest sweetness that really tips this sandwich off. If you're hungry get two. The cappuccino was strong and had great flavor. The seating area was definitely not the usual table and chair type. There are cushions and couches as well as family style tables. It's open air and very comfortable. A nice place to hang out and chill. There is music playing but it's not too loud. As far as prices, they are reasonable for this area of town. I can definitely see myself coming back here. read more

Fantastic combination of food, service and ambiance. Unique layout with varied seating. Reservations are a great way to pick up a good table in the space. read more

The food and drinks are good, if pricy. The lounge style seating and ambience make for a good date night. It's a shame that the morning cafe part of Mercy Me is now a Call Your Mother location, because it was truly one of the best in the area. It also appears that the bar menu no longer includes espresso martinis, which were probably my favorite drink there. read more

I get cravings for mercy me's breakfast tacos regularly. The butternut squash, egg & cheese is soooooo good. Plus they have a vegan breakfast taco that's a delish little flavor bomb. Can't wait to get brunch there one day!! read more

Food and drinks were good but service was atrocious. On every single occasion I visited I had an issue with service. The pickup/delivery service needs a lot of work! For example, I ordered a cocktail to go and received an text saying my drink was prepared and I would get another text when it was ready to pick up. Twenty minutes later (!) after not receiving any further texts, I inquired about my drink and was told it would be made when I arrived! How was I supposed to know to arrive if I never received the text message telling me to collect my drink!? On another occasion I specifically asked for a breakfast taco with "no cheese" and when I showed up to collect it, I was given a vegan taco because the one I ordered came with cheese. However, I didn't want a vegan taco, I wanted one with eggs. Why couldn't someone just have called me and told me this instead of swapping out my order without my permission? It's things like this that make me think MercyMe needs a much better manager. Someone who can do a full scale audit of existing systems and improve them to meet customer needs. We need restaurants that can adapt to new takeout/delivery options that are user-friendly. Don't make customers jump through hoops because staff is asleep at the wheel. Get your act together if you want to keep restaurants viable during this difficult time. read more

Admittedly found this on tiktock and am surprised it took us so long to hear about it. Everything about this place is 10/10. The food, the service, the comfortable vibes. Just when you thought it couldn't get any better they also allow dogs. My boyfriend took me here for my birthday for brunch and we had the best time. Our server (I wish I could remember her name) was absolutely the sweetest along with all the staff. We got the MM Benedict and French toast absolutely amazing with no complaints. We also ordered a side of fries and let me tell you you get your money's worth with a huge portion of fries for only 4 dollars. If you're thinking about going here just do it. You won't regret it! We will be returning very soon. read more

Beautiful place, but for the love of God, turn down the music! Know your clientele: No one is getting a drink or trying to dance at 1 in the afternoon. 95% of people are there working, drinking coffee, etc. Turn down the music. I've seen places come and go bc they are getting traffic and think they're untouchable so they can ignore people's grievances. Big mistake. Enough people are complaining about the music and word of mouth will spread. This is DC we got options. If people don't come here to work that monstrous lobby that costs a fortune would be empty. Listen to the people keeping the lights on and turn down the music read more

Finally got around to trying out this hyped up spot and I have to say - lives up to the hype!! Excellent service, fun atmosphere inside and on the patio, and an incredibly affordable and tasty menu. My friend and I loved our drinks and food and kept saying we need to go back soon to try other dishes because everything on the other tables looked amazing too. Get the hot fries! read more

This is just for breakfast. Ordered using their online ordering system, which I gave an extra star for because of its convenience. I ordered three items and the price was around $25. The bagel sandwich was small considering the price point and just ok. It had a sunny-side up egg, cheese, and bacon on a Call Your Mother everything bagel. The yogurt parfait was atrocious. It cost $8 and was smaller than what you'd find at a Starbucks. There was about a tablespoon of fruit, a sprinkling of mediocre granola, and probably 1/8 cup of yogurt. Total rip-off. The cinnamon roll intrigued me because of the rum-soaked raisins and vegan classification. It was pitifully small and tasted nothing like cinnamon, instead being very nutmeg-forward. Too nutmeggy and not worth the $5 cost. I would come back for their dinner, but the breakfast/brunch was incredibly disappointing and felt like a scam. read more

We went to happy hour at the bar, there were no seats at the bar so the hostess put us in a lounge at the bar. Both bartenders were complete jerks, one guy had a bucket full of sliced limes, there were 5 people waiting to order, he saw all of them and continued to slice limes for 10 minutes. The people next to me left to go somewhere else that would provide service. We finally got drinks ordered and the guy could not have been ruder. We ordered a couple rounds because it took about 15 minutes just to get the first order in. We had reservations at the restaurant, when I went to close the bar tab, he had charged full price, not happy hour and wouldn't even speak to us. The other bar tenders tried to get the GM, but he couldn't even be bothered to talk to us. The food at the restaurant was okay, not terrible, not amazing. read more

The monkey bread is out of this WORLD! Can't wait to come back and try more of the fun empanadas -- too many sweet and savory options to try in just one sitting. read more

I love this place! One of my favorites in DC!! I've been here for coffee and pastries, casual drinks, and sit-down dinner, and I always enjoy it. My favorite thing about Mercy Me is the vibe - the plush, velvet furniture throughout the lounge makes the space so warm and inviting and you often see people hanging here for hours catching up over drinks and appetizers. The back patio is also beautiful when it's open! The menu here definitely lends itself better to drinks/small plates to share rather than a sit down dinner. The portions are on the smaller side, but everything is delicious. I love to come here to grab a drink with friends and split some hot fries and crispy cheese bites (a must-try). Definitely check it out if you're in DC - with great food, fun drinks, and a unique concept and atmosphere, you won't be disappointed!! read more

Party of five, had a great time here. Good music, good lighting, good food, fun crowd but plenty of space. Works as a bar or lounge or restaurant. Excellent service. Highly recommend++ read more

Highly recommend for anyone curious about their menu or drinks. Everything we ordered was delicious and packed with flavor. Service was great and drinks were strong and delicious. We will definitely be returning again for dinner. read more

I came here for brunch with my friend and we loved it. The space inside is very large and we were seated a good ways away from other customers which was a plus. Their drinks are are a little pricey but on par with what the standard is for DC cocktails. I would highly recommend their breakfast pizza, which you can definitely split. read more

Mercy Me - Breakfast pizza and espresso martini - New American Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

Amazing cocktails, fun atmosphere and the food never disappoints. Impressive layering of spices, elevating approachable dishes to something unique and memorable. Visited for brunch, happy hour and dinner. A place a keep coming back to. read more

Food was absolutely fabulous, however the cocktails didn't at all live up to their self-aggrandizing descriptions.

We are in DC for vacation and are staying at The Yours Truly Hotel which is in the heart of DC. It's a older hotel but for the price it's worth it. Everything is very close and in walking distance of the hotel. Mercy Me is in the lobby of the hotel and surprisingly good. We were very hungry after walking all day and decided to eat here. We also had the cheese bites that there is no pic for....sorry! They were the bomb however and are served with a pepper jelly that is excellent. The chicken was excellent and is served with a lime sauce that is good with the potatoes also. The fish tacos were lacking however. The fish was good but the tortillas were awful. Now I say this because I am comparing them to the ones we get back home in Texas so my standards are high for tortillas. They use white corn that are like leather for the fish tacos. They need to switch over to a flour and heat them on a comal or at least a grill before the serve them. That would fix the issue and also serve it with a side of cilantro lime rice and refried beans. Just a suggestion..... however it was a good dinner and we were very surprised. read more

Such a perfect spot. Big and spacious. Front and back patios. Drink menu is unique and all amazing. Food is also pretty good. Love this place for brunch, after work, and even late night vibes read more

We stopped in for breakfast tacos and we were in love! What a nice change from the ho hum routine cafes. Our tacos were delicious and filled with bacon and eggs. I can't say enough about the vibe of this place! It's a large room with comfy couches and chairs scattered around. There are spaces for groups or private tables. Everyone can hear the pleasant upbeat music that puts you in a relaxed mood. Also the staff was very nice! read more

Such a cool concept with a great environment! After a misunderstanding with a visit I had at the restaurant with family, management reached out and corrected the issue promptly which is a class act. I will definitely return when I visit DC again! read more

Great ambiance and tasty drinks. However, my group came in for happy hour and we were not presented the happy hour menu. We checked online for the deals, the pricing was off by a few dollars. This added up on final bill. Would of appreciated if the happy hour menu would of been presented when we sat down if it was so off from what is on the website. The waitress saw us looking up the menu online and didn't say anything. read more

Felt like the menu was very limited and the meal lacked in flavor. I think the drinks and aesthetics are the saving grace if the restaurant . Very good customer service . read more

We stayed in the hotel and loved the vibe of the lobby and is little cafe offerings. We tried it for both breakfast and lunch. There are many easy on the budget offerings. I absolutely loved the Chicken and mushroom Pasterillo and the zucchini muffin. read more

Cute brunch spot in DC! Loved that they had gluten free options and various alternative milk options. The salted caramel latte wasn't too sweet, how I like it (tasted great) and the ambiance was super eclectic and cute! read more

This restaurant has great ambiance and the food and drinks are delightful! I enjoyed the drink menu--top notch!!!

Hands down my favorite brunch place in DC. The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and the food is great. The portions here will have you full and taking the rest home. I got the pancakes and my date got the chicken sandwich, we shared both and had some to take with us. I definitely recommend the pancakes and smoothies for brunch. Ohhhh and the French toast has this wonderful chocolate, definitely make a reservation and stop by. read more

Atmosphere was fabulous. The food was tasty, some of it a bit salty, like the server (Darshe) whom was extremely salty and rude. So buckle up if you have her. Otherwise, lovely experience. read more

For the cafe only! I haven't been to the restaurant but have been to the cafe a couple times. I am gluten free and my only complaint is that the tacos are flour tortillas with no corn option. If this changed you would find me here every morning! The coffee is fantastic, I believe they use Ceremony roasters. I have had the warm quinoa (okay, i'm not a huge quinoa person) which has delicious tropical fruit. I also have tried the chia seed bowl which is a good portion size and very delicious. My partner (not GF but is Dairy Free) loooves the sandwiches, and they can modify for his restriction. The overall vibe is unmatched. The hotel lobby is so beautiful and so many cute places to sit and. enjoy your breakfast. read more

This place is so good-amazing food & everyone was super nice. Loved the gig sandwich and the pizza.

Came here as I was waiting for my husband. I was truly impressed with the service (very nice and courteous staff) food (breakfast tacos - yummy) and drinks. My husband and will definitely be coming back!! Wish there was one of these in NE (H Street Corridor)! read more

Mercy me is an influencer's paradise. Everything is just so darn aesthetically pleasing. I stopped by for a drink a few weeks ago with friends. They had a nice outdoor patio space. I loved the selection of funky natural wines. I split a bottle of orange wine (~$60). Prices were pretty standard for DC. We didn't order food so I can't speak to that. Our service was a little slow but our server appeared to have his hands full. Had a great time overall! read more

I ordered twice from Mercy Me, as you get a discount if you order for pickup if you're staying at the Yours Truly where this restaurant is located. First time, I ordered a bagel with a fancy cream cheese with chicken sausage on the side and smoothie. I received a phone call saying they were out of the cream cheese and the sausage. I changed the order and asked for a bagel with regular cream cheese, and an egg on the side. When I picked the order up and opened the bagel, it was a bacon egg and cheese sandwich. Never asked for bacon or cheese. I also cannot eat bacon, so this was really annoying. After dealing with all that, I had to pick apart the bagel and drank the smoothie. $17.62 for that: a bagel and smoothie. Second time, I ordered a burger with fries on the side with a drink at 6:15pm. Went downstairs at 7:30 and the order was not ready. I waited for 25 minutes downstairs for them to bring it out, I had to speak with 2 team members to locate the order. So maybe 2 hours waiting and got the order with no sensible explanation. Thanks to the sweet girl at they front who worked hard to find the order. $30.28 for this. Fries were great. The location is gorgeous other reviews and photos share, but they need to work on their systems and customer service. The food is way too expensive and not that good for them to be delaying and messing up orders like they do. They're usually booked up for dinner service, and I actually traveled to other restaurants because I couldn't deal with all that. read more

My first time at Mercy Me did not disappoint! We sat on the back patio and had an amazing experience! The service was excellent and the food was exceptional! We ordered a sampling of multiple items. Highly recommend the sirloin skewers! Will absolutely be back again! read more

The decor and ambiance is here is lovely! I went for brunch but would love to come back to telework right by their all-day cafe. Their brunch menu is a bit limited due to Covid, but otherwise, each dish was delish and decent portions. The cocktails my friends ordered were yummy, but I think the description of the Kitty Claw was a bit misleading. Highly recommend the P.E.C. and Eggs Benedict. Will be back to try those pancakes! read more

Mercy me is another cute "vibey" place that all the tik tok girls love. Eye too wanted to love it, but they fell short in having decent food, drinks & service. Instead if you want cute pictures and some stale water, you should come here. Our server started out doing well, but something happened or maybe she body swapped because after about 15 minutes of being there the service was suddenly terrible. Now I will say my friend and I were very patient and understanding of what the food industry is because of Covid. But it takes nothing to check on a customer, bring us water or to see if our food came out okay. We ended up calling the manager after sitting with cold food and a terrible impression of a expresso martini. Once we finally got fresh food, and another drink we had to wait another 20 minutes to flag down our waitress for the bill and a new drink. Spending 100 for dinner is typical for two people in the city, but you could at least provide good service and hot food. Maybe brunch is better, but I wont waste my money here again to find out. read more

Fantastic. Great ambiance. Sat on the patio, service was great and the food even better. Okay

This is a fun spot with quality dishes and drinks! Their coffee is some of the best I've had in DC, and their little pastries are awesome! They have a great atmosphere, and I recommend this place for coffee or drinks and appetizers. I've been less wowed by their dinner entrees, but in general I love this spot so much, and I go here all the time! A great place to meet friends or a date. read more
