It’s time to celebrate the Grand Opening of Mint+Craft Café and Mercantile on Saturday, June 10th from 10am to 4pm! The café will host a number of vendor demonstrations, along with live music and free product samples throughout the day. Vendor demonstrations include Tin City Cider, Poppy Products and The Pistachio Factory, to name a few.
Mint+Craft café is the fifth Central Coast eatery for owners, Robin Covey and Shanny Covey, who also operate Robin’s Restaurant, Novo Restaurant & Lounge, Luna Red, and Café Fiero. The fast-casual menu of Mint+Craft sources high-quality local ingredients for breakfast and lunch toasties, cassoulet-inspired dinner dishes, fresh deli goods, pastries, and meals made to-go or enjoyed on the open air patio. The mercantile features a curated collection of over 600 small batch, handcrafted goods sourced from over 60 artisans.
“We shop locally and around the nation to bring you quality products you can feel good about consuming and sharing,” said Shanny Covey, owner.
Mint+Craft also offers an assortment of grab and go items such as non-alcoholic beverages, local cheese, fresh produce, packaged snacks, as well as, a wine and beer shop. This program comes from Kielly Lewis, the restaurant group’s Assistant Wine Director, and her passion for great local and unique producers.
“Our ‘wine and beer shop’ may be small and humble, however, the items selected are nothing short of extraordinary,” Samantha Payette, Wine Director, said. “For our beer selection, there was no need to look outside of California; the wines, no need to look outside of the Central Coast. In all cases, we looked for smaller producers who take their craft seriously, yet offer up their products with levity and a bit of whimsy.”
Mint+Craft is open 7 days a week, 8a.m. to 9p.m. for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
