About Us:

Mercado is a lively fast casual Cafe & Restaurant in Upper Montclair, NJ with a focus on hearty and healthy staples. The large, hall-like space is inspired by the traditional markets found in city centers of Portugal and Spain, in which patrons gather for a quick bite or coffee in a lively environment. The multitude of options on the menu speak to the food-hall-like experience, with options from a full breakfast/brunch menu, to build-your-own grain bowls, to specialty sandwiches; all of which include vegan options. At Mercado, customers can also enjoy a full menu of espresso drinks and cold-pressed juices at the barista bar and pair their beverage of choice with a delicious food menu and a selection of bakes goods, including Portuguese pastries. Fast casual speaks to the informal nature of ordering food at the counter, food-hall style, but at Mercado customers are encouraged to slow down and enjoy delicious food in good company, surrounded by beautiful design, in a beautiful neighborhood.


Mercado is looking for a dedicated, experienced, talented and passion driven individuals to join our FOH team!
