    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.

    Scared to say it's one of my new favorite coffee shops because I don't want it to start to get crowded, but it's just so great! It's very chill. Think Black Hole and Campesino had an artsy but mellow child. There's plenty of seating: outside is great for chatting, small tables for working alone with some table space, a few tall window tables, and my favorite which is a giant table that fits at least 10. The inside is a tiny bit quieter than most coffee shops I've been to but not like excessive pressure to talk quietly. I think what draws me to Mercantile is really just the chill vibes I get when visiting since it's a little separated from most of the other Houston hot spots. The coffee is pretty good but I tend to go for just the classic drinks. I would recommend the spicy coffee (it has cayenne pepper in it!)

    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!

    Unfortunately didn't try the food but the good was pretty good. Staff was super friendly. Love the vibe of the place. Quite ample with plenty of seating .Live music Monday from 7-9pm. Plenty of parking available when I went early morning but it doesn't seem like they have a ton of parking available.

    Nice coffee shop in the Montrose area with petty decent parking. Great atmosphere for working, studying, or just hanging out over coffee. Great staff and a variety of drinks on the menu!

    Absolutely love this coffee shop gem. It has a nice, quiet vibe, yet casual. I like ordering the cafe miel. Delicious! They also have breakfast tacos catered by Taco Deli, which is a plus! There's always parking available.

    The most affordable coffee shop around Houston so far. Kind service. Calm inside, with lots of natural light and some cool art and design for a basic open plaza space. Flat white with oat milk was great! The croissants are massive! Love the more down to earth clientele here.

    I’ve been coming here for years, I love this coffeeshop. The fall drink menu looked so tasty, the Maple Crunch drink is so goooood! Corby and Angelena were so kind today and made my drink so well! I love the vibe here. Will always come back!

    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.

    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.

  • 4/5 Josh S. 1 year ago on Google
    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.

    Kind and generous staff, chill vibes. Local coffee shop with books to borrow. Light or dark roast cold brew available. Love this spot.

    10/10 study spot, reading spot or just meeting a friend. Grate vibes great product! Super recommend the “Undertow” sweet and small gives a good kick in the pants to start your day!

    The coffee hit the spot! Refreshing drinks, cool ambiance, and friendly service.

  • 5/5 Keith H. 6 months ago on Google
    What an ideal little spot! I got a coffee and a bean taco. (their last one of the day) They sell out pretty early it seems. The coffee was smooth and fresh. The two attendants at the front were very friendly. It had been a couple years since I had been here, I'm glad I came back. Also, I ride a bike and they do have a bike rack on the side. They could add another rack in a more prominent location out front, but I'm glad I was able to lock up to a sturdy rack.
