Mermaid Grotto Cafe and Boutique

A very chill atmosphere! I ordered a coffee which did not meet my expectations and they begged to take it off my bill and make me something different. With that, they recommended the white coffee which was something new to me. It did not disappoint! The staff made sure to keep us satisfied customers. We felt very welcomed and valued ❤️

Be prepared to wait! Put your name in early, and walk the beautiful pier, or browse the gift shop. The food was mediocre at best, but the atmosphere was fantastic. While you wait, there is cornhole and other games out back to keep you busy, or enjoy the beautiful mountain view. The interior decore is beautiful, and the upstairs seating has a nice Oceanview if you get a window seat.

The service, food, and decor there was phenomenal! Great outdoor seating with some yard games available. Plenty of indoor seating with a bar upstairs. My favorite place in town!

We love Seward and now we have a new place to add to our list of favorites while we are there visiting on our day trips down from the valley. We got to enjoy their opening day and everything was amazing. The food and cocktails were to die for and the service was friendly and went above all of our expectations. This will definitely be a stop for us each time we come to Seward!

We stumbled onto this place. The atmosphere is so cool and they have an excellent gift shop with great prices. The coffee house is so charming as my wife says. We ordered the MerBabe breakfast burrito, took one bite and ordered a second it was so delicious. Coffee was spot on and service was great. Would go back! Bathrooms were spotless.

The food was great! I unknowingly ordered the Bloody Mary, and all their cocktails are made with wine, it was a totally different taste, but still good! The service was a bit chaotic, probably knocking the rust off after the off season. The food was excellent!

Stopped in for breakfast before our wildlife boat tour out of Seward. While tasty, I think the portions were a little small for the price. They also do not have a liquor license so serve their breakfast cocktails with wine. The Bloody Mary with wine was not our favorite. But the view from the top of the restaurant is beautiful and the service was quick!

Cute gift shop, warm and delicious latte, and great atmosphere!

We drove down to Seward from Anchorage for our Seward Ocean Excursion tour. Our tour guide recommended this place for lunch so we came here.

Overall really great experience in this really cute cafe. We ordered the Fish "witch", Sand Dollar Dilla, and a cup of latte. The food was really good and the fish was fresh. Portions are great too so definitely come here if you're hungry!

In terms of the store, there is a boutique gift shop when you go in, they have a lot of handmade, petite gifts that make perfect souvenirs. Upstairs seating is closed off because of Covid but there are plenty of seating on the ground floor (see photos) for you to enjoy your meal indoors. There are also heaters by the tables so you'll be cozy and warm!

Food was very good. Owner very attentive. Recommend both the hurricane (bibimbap) bowl and the chicken schwarma. Kids split a pancake plate.
