A market your neighborhood can count on.

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.
