Needed a place to read for a couple of hours between errands. Came in on a Friday around 10. No line. Service was so friendly. Loved all the baristas. I could see why folks would appreciate this as their neighborhood coffee shop. I splurged on an almond croissant. Omg. It was so good. So worth the thousand or more calories. I ate every last bite. People brought their pups in which I loved but others may not. The couch I snagged was comfortable and I enjoyed relaxing and looking out the window. Oh. And the coffee I chose was divine too!

I LOVE this place. It is decorated in kind of an artsy, but minimal way it's a great vibe. It's a lot quieter in here too, so it's really great for studying and cranking some work done.Their coffee is so good, and the croissants are great as well! The cost is MUCH better too than many of the other houston coffee shops (that are way overpriced). As far as the service goes, everyone is so kind. Graham is so nice too, and always remembers us which is so kind! We love this place! Highly recommend.

this place has a wonderful atmosphere with a lovely, welcoming barista. it's tucked away in Montrose, feeling hidden in some way. The barista was the sweetest ever. I wish I got her name so I could shout her out. I loved the atmosphere of this place, with their books and decorations. The coffee I had, while good, was nothing really spectacular. But, the kind customer service made it for me. I had a iced vanilla latte with oatmilk. Again, nothing terribly special, (I'm partial to richer espresso blends, and this one didn't have much dimension). It has a bit of an aftertaste. I wouldn't come for the coffee necessarily, rather for the vibes. The coffee is just a plus. If the barista who served me sees this, you were tall with long hair and I came on Thursday 12/14 around 7:30 am, keep doing what you do :) you made my day!

Good location, excellent study/working spot, lots of parking, quirky interior design (in a good way). The shop is nice and quiet. Lots of seating area. Their wife is strong and they have good wall outlets. Iced matcha ($5.5): it's good to note that it comes sweetened, but it's a solid matcha and I would get it again.

This is where you'll find me most mornings during the week before going to work. It's my go to spot if I am getting a latte. Like most coffee shops they have a variety of options for milk substitutes. If you're lucky enough to arrive early you can get tacos that they get from taco deli. In addition to other coffees, they have a large selection of teas. Several pastries are available at the counter. But once they run out, they run out. Perfect neighborhood coffeeshop that hosts live music nights and other things throughout the month.

Mercantile is a solid spot in the montrose area for your coffee needs! their coffee tastes great, is not insanely priced, and they have so much seating inside! The baristas are really nice! mercantile is a great place to meet up with friends or sit at the community table to get some work done. only complaints are the wifi was spotty and they charge extra for alt milk :/ overall, would recommend mercantile if you're looking for a coffee shop in montrose

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.

This is my choice of local coffee shop when I want to get out of the house during the week or drop by for a pre-grocery shopping coffee. Everyone is genuinely so nice and you can tell. Quick, efficient, no frills. Good coffee. I sit and work here often, and watch the interactions between the baristas and customers. They sometimes have their regulars orders ready as they see them walking up. Ya love to see it It gets chilly though so bring a sweater hehe
