This popular NDG cafe is reopening next week

Monkland Village is about to get a much-needed coffee boost as Cafe de Mercanti is slated to reopen its doors to start off next week.

The popular Italian cafe, scheduled to reopen on May 4, will be exclusively serving takeout in disposable cups.

The tasty nectar of the caffeine Gods will be a welcomed addition to NDG’s Monkland Avenue which has been at a standstill since the pandemic.

The cafe’s Old Port location reopened on Thursday, April 29, following the same guidelines.
