Mercantile

I had a very pleasant time at Mercantile. There’s lots of space to study and get your work done. I loved seeing one of my favorite songs on the window! Gram was great and answered all of my questions about the products. I’ll be back soon!

I love Mercantile Coffee. The place have a good atmosphere for quiet reading and nice conversations during the daytime. They also have live jazz or rock music during some nights.

Nice coffee shop in the Montrose area that has a similar look and feel as Black Hole located several blocks away. Plenty of tables and chairs for seating (though I do wonder who ever uses the indoor swing). Standard coffee and tea menu on offer with a selection of various pastries as well. The space has an artsy feel to it, and I appreciated the style of the barista who was wearing a "Montrose" cap but in the colors, lettering, and style of Marlboro cigarettes. Additionally, I enjoyed the huge world map on the wall of the bathroom (what better place to contemplate one's next international trip than while on the john?). Service was quick, coffee was good, and the place proved to be a quiet place to get some work done.

My only hangups with Mercantile are that it was actually a bit too quiet for my liking. I like there to be a bit of background music and a light din of conversation, but things were almost completely silent here like a library. Along with that, the space felt a bit cold and warehouse-like without the cozy vibe that I prefer when at a coffee shop to get some work or studying done.

Regardless, I still enjoyed the spot overall and will add it to my list of coffee shops for Montrose.

Clean and soft. The people were so helpful with helping me decide on what to get. I love the books they have for use. There is enough sitting area and is not crowded with stuff so you can have a nice work time.

Excellent coffee and quick service. The mocha latte was delicious and so was the cinnamon roll. The barista was helpful and accommodating. There’s indoor and outdoor seating a available but limited capacity. Good place to hang out.
