Fresh-baked bread, everyday groceries, and the kind of friendly service that makes your neighborhood market feel like home. Stop by anytime.
Merlin's Market has been a steady presence on East Lake Street for years — the kind of place where you know your name when you walk in, where the bread arrives fresh every morning, and where the produce section actually keeps things in stock.
We're not a chain. We're not trying to be a specialty shop that only carries imported olive oil. We're a straightforward grocery and bakery that serves the people who live and work around here, with quality you can taste and prices that make sense.
Baked goods arrive every morning. Our produce rotations keep things crisp and seasonal.
Seven days a week, we keep reasonable hours so you can pop in whenever your schedule allows.
We source locally when we can, support neighborhood events, and treat every customer like a regular.
From morning bread to dinner ingredients, our shelves are stocked with the items your household actually uses.
Sourdough, ciabatta, fresh rolls, pastries, and seasonal specials — baked on-site every morning.
Seasonal fruits and vegetables, locally sourced when available. Always fresh, always rotating.
Milk, cheese, yogurt, eggs, and prepared foods — kept cold and stocked daily.
Pasta, rice, canned goods, oils, spices, and the everyday items that keep your kitchen running.
Coffee, tea, juice, soda, and bottled water. We also carry a selection of local Minnesota brews.
Frozen vegetables, meats, prepared meals, and ice cream — everything your freezer needs.
Easy to find, easy to park, and always welcoming. Come in any time during our open hours — we'll have what you need ready.
Whether you're looking for a specific product, have a catering question, or just want to say hello — drop us a line and we'll get back to you as soon as we can.
