Update:there's a new management. Name retained, but cuisine has shifted Occidental. You can order all day brekkie, basic lunch options n a mellow tasting coffee. First: Location. No other eatery in that road means this is the go to spot for a quick bite. Second: quick food preparation. Third: simple unpretentious menu that has easier to make food. Fourth: taste is average, presentation is good. Ambience: darker interior with adequate number of tables n billboard music playing non stop. Summary: Cafe Merci is neat little eatery, with a visit for a quick bite n no judging food.

Best cafe experience in Mawson Lakes in terms of friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere. Staff are caring and engaging and like interacting with the customers. Had a very nice toasted chicken foccacia here and the stringy fries that came with it were crispy and well seasoned. This is a favoured destination for many business professionals in the area. Located on Park Way the traffic noise isn't too bad but less foot traffic than Mawson CBD means it's a more peaceful destination where you can have a private conversation.

Schnitzel Focaccia

An amazing, cosy cafe for breakfast and with the best coffee....very strong...my style!!! The service was great and the staff is wonderful and friendly!!! Food is jam packed with flavours, just what you need in the morning, with the best quality of strong coffee to get you going!! This place must be one of the favourite places for it's coffee as people were in and out just for coffee....so we waited only for a few moments for our food....but loved it and will be going back again!!

I walked in as a vegan knowing there was no vegan food on the menu and I might just walk out with a coffee, and I was ok with that, but as soon as I asked Anna swung into action and made a delicious open sandwich. Probably one of the best I've had, and especially for something that wasn't on the menu I was super impressed. Anna really considered how the flavours would work together. And the coffee was great too.

Visited here today for a quick bite to eat and a coffee. I got the croissant and a large caramel latte. The latte was passable but have definitely had better ones at a maccas drive through. The croissant was OK, nothing special and was 100% not worth the near $11 for it. All in all I think better off driving the extra 1-2kms into Mawson lakes at the cafes on the lakeside.

First visit… Best big breaky ever!! Edit to review: Started making this a regular… & wont be anymore… came for lunch with a friend again today and she got her meal and completely polished it off before I even received mine… such poor service! We came for lunch together, ordered together then had to eat separately…

Coffee and Muffins, Burgers, Smashed Avocado

Very friendly and happy owners. They do a consistently great coffee (I get one most days). Muffins are always fresh and tasty. Good range of sandwiches and authentic Korean dishes. Would highly recommend if you're just looking for a good coffee and a nice, quiet place to relax, have a meeting or grab a bite to eat.

I go in almost on daily basis, since its close to work. Lovely owners with smiles all the time whom delivers every order passionately. Definitely recommend to others. In fact, I was recommended by others in the office. Best choice ever! Also, they serve Korean lunch which are proven to be authentic.

Coffee frappe was simple and great. Unfortunately my smashed avo was a let down. Oily and wet toast (maybe cooked on the grill with bacon?) And a Coles premade salad slapped on top. Cherry tomatoes were uncooked and the avocado was passed prime and very brown. Staff were great and polite.

A neat and cosy place. Menu is easy to read, simple and enough to figure out what to order when you first arrive. Music is at the perfect volume to relax and enjoy a sip of coffee. I think what holds the cafe back is the parking spaces. It is not easy to find a convenient place to park.

$15.90 for a ham, cheese and tomato, plain white bread sandwich + a can of soft drink. Unfriendly service and sandwich both dry and soggy at the same time.

The best coffee and barista in Mawson Lakes. He takes extra care when making coffee and is very neat. The cafe is kept clean and tidy as well as the coffee machinery. There is always good music playing in the background that makes the vibe even better. It is worth giving it a go.

My regular coffee shop! Best place to get a quick bite and coffees, the staff are super friendly and always remember most customers orders

I made a group booking for the morning and the food was fantastic! The service staff were very friendly and despite a large number of customers, everyone was served in a timely fashion. Highly recommend this business!

Staff are super friendly and easy to talk to, this place feels cozy but has the atmosphere of untouched potential for being a bustiling hub of Pre or Post gym food, being right next to a gym and a running track.

Husband and wife team were happy to serve us with only a few minutes to go before closing time. We're glad we stopped at this cafe. Beautiful shop with excellent coffee, hot chocolate and cookie!

Delicious Food, nice staff, absolutely worth a visit

Philly cheese steak roll - nice and tasty, open dine-in area. Great little place for lunch. No Dinner menu at the time if this review.

Always fresh and super tasty... Seems like nothing is pre-made. Interesting Korean fare from the super-nice couple running the place.

I was only customer on a mid-Tuesday morning. Coffee was great! Haven't tried any food but the menu has a Korean theme, it says.

Best egg and bacon roll I have ever had
