Toxic work environment. Likes to own people, by having them owe her money. All her flying monkeys will tell you she's the nicest person. But they all just happen to owe her money. Tell me why she hasn't paid my partner? She doesn't pay what she owes people and uses money and loans to control others. She fired my partner, when he was sick! Does a nice person do that? No. she treats people like slave labor. Someone needs to investigate her and her business. There seems to be a lot going on with her unhinged behavior. I don't know if she was under the influence or what, but tell me why today she came to my house, gun drawn, threatening my partner. Our seven year old was playing in the snow in the back yard he saw everything hiding behind the shed scared for his life!He is so scared she is gonna come back and shoot at us. My whole family is now traumatized. Who comes to someone's house threatening with a gun? What type of behavior is that? My God we moved here to get away from gun violence. Then this happens. I don't know what to think about this town anymore.

First impression wasn't great! The young man working seemed oblivious. Didn't greet me even though I sat down at the counter right in front of him. Never made eye contact or said anything for several minutes. The home made hot sauce saved the day. Exceptional and hot. Hot! 🥵 An adult female came out of the back and noticed me right away. I'm assuming she's the owner. She seemed tuned in. As I waited for my food I observed her and she's good, engaging customers and giving the young man stuff to do.aybr he's new. I'm torn on how many stars to give them. Very mixed experience. The avocado on my vegi skillet was over ripe, mushy and tastes awful. Should not have been served. The house hot sauce was exceptional. The device was mixed. The bldg is cool, an old bank, but feels a bit old and grimy. The air vents in the ceiling are filthy. That's what tipped the scale for me. 3 to 3.5 stars.at.most.

I love the Merchants Cafe for a delicious and unique breakfast! It's not your typical diner, and offers great options for breakfast and lunch. If you're looking for a little something extra with a quiet, cozy atmosphere, you should give Merchants a try!

Wife brought home breakfast with a side of moldy syrup. Now my brain is screaming what else is moldy? I couldn’t eat the meal and the wife stopped eating hers once she saw the mold. I’m done eating at this place.

Servers are friendly and efficient. Great local place.
Under cooked hash browns. Over cooked eggs. Nasty gamy tasting bacon.. For $18 best be better. Toast was cooked right

Have eaten here a few times for breakfast, always been great. Just had an open faced Beef sandwhich for lunch, very tasty, fresh, and filling. Service is top notch, so is the food.

I love going here and it's well worth the drive - I moved away from North Branch down to the Twin Cities years ago, but I couldn't stop coming here. Phenomenal food, phenomenal prices, great vibe.
