  Great atmosphere, low prices. Delicious daily brew coffee. Rotating selection of artwork adorns the walls. Music selection is usually good but pretty diverse ranging from downtempo to African Jazz to Spanish rock to whatever the employees feel like playing. It's never too crowded in here, there's always room to sit down and plenty of spaces to work on your laptop. It's my go-to coffee shop.

  Visited Mercantile one day after work to kill some time and catch up on emails before a meeting I had to go to. Montrose location was extremely convenient for me, and it’s tucked away so not very busy around 4pm. I was not to pleased with the service from the barista. They did not greet me when I walked in and went to change the music playing over the speakers before taking my order. Pros: They have free WiFi and offer glasses if you would like to enjoy your beverage at the shop. There is also lots of seating space. Cons: Definitely the service. Most likely will not be back any time soon. Would rather go to another coffee shop with less seating but a friendlier vibe. There are a few in the area.

  The coffee: I just didn't like my drink. It was creamy, which was nice, but it had a sharp and bitter taste, and just tasted very beany. A packet of brown sugar mellowed it out, but it still wasn't the best. Maybe if there wasn't such amazing competition, I would feel differently, but the problem is there are just places that have coffee that better fits my tastes. The shop: It seems a bit confused. There's no real central theme. One corner is set up for like a backyard picnic, complete with fake grass. Another like a waiting room. None of the tables or chairs match in any way really. I do like some aspects of it like the neon sign and the art and the hanging swing, but it just feels all over the place. There's also a lot of empty space in the middle. Some if the couches and tables are just kind of old and dirty.There powerstrips along the walls if you feel like doing work, so points there. I also like how they accept NFC payments and have a rewards system. The service: Friendly. They were pretty nice, and cleaned up the table we sat at when they saw how messy it was from previous customers. Overall: Though I didn't really like my coffee that much, there's nothing really bad about this place. It just doesn't win me over.

  This is my go to shop because of environment. They only offer a handful of pastries but usually have a Mexican food truck parked outside. Plenty of outlets, friendly staff, and a nice set up of furniture for students to study. They also have a few two seater patio tables along the outside. Dog friendly patio!

  Honestly, I love Mercantile too much to even write a review because I don't want the word to get out and overpopulate this lovely little place. It serves great coffee. Its flat white has been my favorite since I first visited. It has ample space that allows you to work alone, with a group, or simply hang out with friends. The staff here are super friendly. I was once given a free bakery because the manager Brian (sorry if I didn't type your name right) found out I was offered a job after spending many days job searching at the coffee house. So if you live in Montrose or ever stop by this neighborhood, be sure to come in and grab a cup of coffee at Mercantile. I guarantee you won't be disappointed!
