You have a Tea Time in Des Moines, WA at Marina Mercantile!


Fall comes on strong. The days shorten sooo fast. The rains return. And Halloween …and then Thanksgiving, and then all of December’s Holidays …are just around the corner. 


And the only rational response is to CELEBRATE!! Right???

Coming into their third Holiday season, Brenda and the team at Marina Mercantile have already had the pleasure of helping plan and then hosting just about every kind of celebration – and each one is unique, and uniquely crafted to your idea of the best time.


Want to take over the shop for an adults-only Bratwurst and Beer fest to celebrate your favorite team or latest sales success? Excellent!! Planning an extended family celebration centered around an Afternoon Tea experience, complete with tea cakes and finger sandwiches and special cookies for the young ones? Fabulous!!  The Mercantile team loves nothing more than to sit down, hear what your ideal party is, and then pull out all the stops to pull it off.


And while the Merc is known for, among other things, Afternoon Tea and Uli’s Famous Bratwurst, the options are endless, especially now that they have a full liquor license. You can treat your staff and friends to a Holiday Cocktail Class (with tasting, of course!), a custom Wine and Cheese Tasting, or a completely non-alcoholic and fully delicious Year-end Celebration.


LIke caviar better than brats? The Merc has multiple sources of everything from Lummi Island Salmon Roe (Ikura) to real Golden Osetra from sustainably farmed sturgeon. Feeling a theme coming on? Let Brenda know and she and the crew can whip up everything from special pastries to themed cheese and charcuterie boards to a cocktail just for you and your group. Really, the sky’s the limit. (Well, that and their 49 person capacity limit.)

Vegan? No problem. Gluten Free? They’ve got that covered, too. The Merc team can even help you plan a party at home and then prepare all the charcuterie boards, sandwiches, even a full Afternoon Tea for you to pick up and share with your guests.


Of course all of these things take a bit of planning and preparation, so if you’re thinking of a celebration, please visit https://marinamercantile.com, email them at info@marinamercantile.com or call 206-651-7526.


Marina Mercantile is located at 22341 Marine View Drive South, right next to the Des Moines Theater:
