Merchant Coffee

Nice spot to grab a quick bite, a delicious latte and get some work done, run into a friend from the neighborhood and see smiling faces! An Ambridge staple for sure! Cheers!

Merchant Coffee is a super cute and cozy coffee shop in Ambridge. Though we don't get to ambridge super frequently for food, my husband was about to fly out for a week of work and we wanted a quick little date before he left. This was a great place for that! We got a breakfast burrito, a smoothie, and a hot chocolate to share (we aren't actually coffee drinkers, but we love the vibe of coffeeshops) I wouldn't say anything we got was life changing, but it was still good! I feel like it's a common theme for us that coffeeshops don't make great hot chocolate. I get it, not the specialty, but I want chocolatey hot chocolate! Not milky! We brought our two year old with us since it was a last minute decision to stop in and they had no high chairs (just an fyi) they did have a large bookshelf of games and he was easily entertained and stayed in his chair to play connect four. The service was great and very friendly staff.

Stopped in with my wife and young son prior to heading to the airport. Street parking was easy to find, and them restaurant has enough seating without being too crowded. We ordered a smoothie and biscuits and gravy to share. Both items came out quickly and food and drink tasted pretty good. While the food was good, the portions were small and the price was a little high so it wasn't quite a value proposition. The restaurant has a bookshelf with a variety of games and so we had fun passing the time playing Connect 4 with our young son too.

What a delightful surprise this small-town coffee shop turned out to be! We ordered two lattes, a caramel and a maple rum and both exceeded our expectations. They also offered a customizable breakfast burrito, which turned out to be fantastic and a perfect start to our day. The entire place was spotless, including their bathrooms, which is always a big plus. The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, making for an all-around great experience. If we ever find ourselves back in this small town, we'll definitely be stopping by again. Highly recommend!

My first visit here. Well decorated inside Varied menu with coffees, breakfast & lunch items. Plenty of seating. Nice large window view onto Merchant St. Street parking out front. Cool artwork inside. 2 Gender neutral restrooms, which were clean & fresh smelling. Worth a stop for coffee/breakfast/lunch. I had a toasted bagel & cream cheese (bagels from Beaver Bagel) & a cold brew coffee.

I returned to Merchant Coffee and enjoyed their shrimp cauliflower flatbread - it was amazing! Highly recommend it's vegan. I had a really nice afternoon here working on my laptop. I got a lot done and was able to be comfortable and productive here. The staff is always sooo nice!

I stopped by here earlier today with my wife and kids for our morning coffees. This was like the 5th or 6th time we had been to Merchant Coffee, so you know we like it. On this Sunday morning the inside was sort of quiet compared to other Sundays where the place was hopping. The inside of this shop is actually quite large with lots of seating and a large mural. Beyond that they have a small enclosed outdoor seating area with 5 4-tops including a few with umbrellas. With our young kids, it's the perfect place for our whole family to hang out.For our coffees on this morning I went with a large maple brown sugar latte while my wife went with a small one. On previous visits I have also always ordered their seasonal flavors with things like carrot cake shaken espresso, honey lattes and more. Their coffee is always good and I really enjoy their seasonal flavors which pack tons of flavor without too much sweetness. My maple brown sugar latte on this morning was the perfect example of that as you could get the maple up front and the brown sugar on the back and yet somehow it wasn't overly sweet. While the coffee wasn't too prevalent in the flavor, you could definitely get the undertones of it. On this particular visit we also ordered Beaver Bagels which were delicious but on previous trips we had ordered other pastries too which are always good.The bottom line for me is that we will clearly stop by here again in the future. My wife and I love their seasonal flavors for their coffees and think they offer a nice array of food as well.

Super cute coffee shop on a main street in Ambridge! The building itself is gorgeous, but the road and sidewalk out front was unfortunately undergoing some construction when I visited. They have a temporary walkway built to get inside. The space is decorated beautifully with comfortable lighting, cute decor, and lots of seating. I saw at least 10 tables that seat both two and four people. There were a couple high tops and some window bar seating available, as well. I ordered a medium (12ox) drip coffee with a splash of half and half. The drip was Commonplace's house blend and it was a smooth medium roast. The menu listed the 12oz drip at $2.50, but I paid $4.50 + tax and tip. Not sure if the menu is outdated or not - just wanted to mention. They have a case of assorted pastries and some jars of biscotti too. Everything looked delicious. It was nice and quiet inside, even with a few people dining in and several coming in and out. I would certainly considering working remotely here in the future.

GREAT,I came on Wednesday morning (12-27-23). The prices were very good. The seating area has a nice modern vibe. They put a lot into restoring this building.

I love the cookies they are the best. great service every staff was nice. I will be coming back
