About
Mervis' Cafe is steeped in family history that spans over five decades. It all began in 1970 when Jose Martinez and his family opened a general store in West Palm Beach. And in the spirit of family, Jose named the eatery after his daughter, Mervis.
The family business soon grew to include a deli, where innovative sandwiches and Cuban coffee were introduced. Its food became legendary, even earning the Best Cuban Sandwich award from The Palm Beach Post's readers.
In 2002, the Mervis' Grocery closed to facilitate the expansion of Southern Blvd. into an 8-lane highway. But a year before the closure, Mervis' Café and Grille opened at its current location. This new venture was not just a restaurant but a full-service United States Postal Service Contract Unit.
Today, Mervis' Café is operated by Ivel and Ivelisse Sierra, who grew up in family businesses and brought their extensive experience to the Cafe. The Cafe's operation and offerings show its commitment to the Treasure Coast community and its patrons.
