Welcome.
Marina Mercantile takes the old school neighborhood corner market & cafe and updates it with a modern flair and a hint of Europe. Inside you will find gourmet groceries,, ingredients for dinner, and some great (and unique) bottles of wine, You can also join us to have a meal, or linger over a glass of wine, cocktail, or sophisticated non-alcoholic beverage.
We even serve Afternoon Tea!
We are delighted to be a safe community space where friends can meet and new ones can be made.
It takes a team.
Brenda Sutherland and Richard Mockler founded Marina Mercantile in 2022, hoping to fill a gap for Des Moines, WA, residents searching for sophisticated food and wine options and a quiet, comfortable place to gather.
Originally supported by opening manager Joey Kline.
We've added Maren and S to the kitchen production team. Maren is a graduate of the PSSC culinary program and produces our sandwiches, salads, and is the queen of scones & finger sandwiches for our Afternoon Tea menu. S, also supports our Afternoon Tea with amazing handmade cookies and confections but she shines when making our charcuterie or cheese boards, and flatbreads.
Brenda makes cakes, soups, salads and more.
Our Front of House staff has changed recently, we have Joedy, Diana, Eric, & Boris taking various shifts.
We are always looking for committed food and wine lovers who value the opportunity to serve the community with the most fundamental of human exchanges. If you'd like to join our team, please get in touch.
