The photos are a very small amount of the interesting things you will find inside. They have a bunch of stickers, hats, tee shirts with messages. If you're a prude, just keep walking on by. Want something unique, you're at the right place. read more

Hillarious, meaningful, and wonderfully chaotic and charming!!! No matter the person you'll find something that is either meaningful or funny!! read more

The cutest little shop - perfect for gifts. They have such a wide variety of cook books, mugs, stickers, key chains, etc. A lot of Dayton specific gear too. The cards are hilarious and the best.. will definitely make your person smile. You can't go wrong with anything you buy here. So unique! read more

I didn't end up buying anything on my actual visit, but I've ordered from them online before and the selection is great for that snarky friend in your life who's embraced the randomness that is being liberal/leftist in Ohio. Hell Is Real hoodies? Golden Girls candles? Yeah, we all need those. I'm guessing the area around the shop is better later on - it was pretty dead when I went, but I was early. read more

products are really cheap. it seems like they buy off temu and shein and resell at quadruple price. I would truly avoid and just save hundred buying online. 2/10 read more

Incredible team and a one-of-a-kind selection of products. The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable, making shopping here a real pleasure. You'll find items you won't see anywhere else--definitely worth a visit! read more

One of the best shops in Dayton's Oregon District, geared towards adults humor. You can no doubt find a unique gift for a special friend here. I spent the majority of my time just browsing and cracking up under my breath, before I spotted a Bowie candle my friend had to have! They have magnets, cards, booms, mugs, buttons, socks, prints, jewelry and Ohio pride covered throughout their eclectically decorated walls. This store is inviting and fun. Exactly what you'd look for to draw tourists in a 'must visit' location like Oregon District. read more

The service and selection in store is absolutely amazing! Amazing employees and products!

My family really talked up this shop in the Oregon District. An cool, eclectic place. It was ok. I thought there would be more locally made, craft items. There was a pop up shop with an artist outside their front door. Most of there stuff was imported stuff that you can pretty much buy anywhere. I had to chuckle at a blatant dichotomy. They had multiple signs/stickers professing their equality and acceptance. And right above the entrance were two huge banners which clearly (most clearly) stated that if you are pro-life, you are wrong. Walk through the door and leaning against the checkout stand was a large "Pro Roe" sign which was bookended with signs that said "F... Kavanaugh" and all of the other conservative Supreme Court justices. I feel like we were duped into a bait and switch. What we thought was a local shop was really a political franchise. read more

I love this shop so much. They have the most unique items you will ever find and you never know what neat, new items they'll get in. I always stop in and say I'm just going to look around but I ALWAYS end up buying something. The staff is always so friendly and willing to help if you can't find your size in a T-shirt or something. Definitely one of my favorite places in Dayton! read more

This is a super cute gift shop. I found many things I wanted but only bought one. The prices were just a little more than I like. I'll admit if the T shirt or onsie I wanted to buy were just $4 less I probably would have bought them but I have a mental cut off limit for such things. The associate working was friendly and greated me. I will definitely come back when in town. read more

Heart Mercantile is a very welcome addition to the Oregon District. The store itself is well-appointed and charming, and the staff is always friendly. I've purchased gifts here for a range of audiences, from my husband to a friend expecting her first child to coworkers. There's something perfect and unique for everyone here, and the prices are fair for the quality of goods. I literally cannot walk into this store without buying something and wanting everything else. I particularly love their greeting cards and their selection of art prints, and they usually have a cute assortment of vintage frames to go with them. I love that they often have one-of-a-kind items and that the store always seems to be on the hunt for new curiosities to stock. Shops like Heart make it easy to support local business! read more

Love this store. Talked my husband into buying a Jesus shirt that said, "I NEVER SAID THAT!" And a oven mitt that says, "F*cking Delicious" I will be back for more stuff. Adding*** The person who posted the negative comment is simply looking for attention. read more

Heart Mercantile is this super cute and super awesome shop in the Oregon District in Dayton. I've been in here a couple times now and everytime I return I find even more and unique items to buy. They have everything from home goods, paper goods, clothing for adults some men and women, and some clothing for babies and kids. They have jewelry, some vintage items and from what I can tell a handful of things made by local artists. It's affordable, they also have sales sometimes and everything they have in the store is of great quality. What I love most about Heart Mercantile is that it is unique with style. Defiantly will continue to stop by and support them when I'm back in Dayton. read more

There are a lot of shops out there that sell a mix of local pride t-shirts, vintage home decor and gifts, but I really like the collection they have here. If you're looking for Dayton pride apparel, this is your place, especially when it comes to womens apparel. That's an issue I have with small local boutiques is their lack of carrying womens tees. Granted, they don't print the apparel, just sell them, but at least they have them! You'll find bachelorette party gifts and shirts, funny prints, baby onesies and apparel, food items and more. So, they've done a really nice job including something for everyone when you're looking for a gift. read more

I really enjoyed browsing in this adorable shop. I found a few things I bought for Christmas presents (Dayton historical books- very neat). I came back a second time so I could browse in leisure as I didn't have as much time on my first visit. Really fun items to look at, the staff were also very pleasant and helpful. read more

Went to Heart Mercantile on a whim and bought myself a Christmas gift... the most awesome Capricorn candle that "smells like a workaholic." Highly recommend this shop and the quality of product that they sell. Lots of funny tee shirts, mugs, and gift ideas! read more

Heart is our favorite place in the district. They have a huge love of their community, a fantastic selection of cheeky and completely unique gifts you won't find anywhere else. The entire staff is hilarious and helpful and I could really write for hours about them and the shop and how they've helped us and how they've helped Dayton. But just go find out for yourself, it'll be love at first vagina ornament. read more

Love this store!!! I get all my special occasion cards here and anything Ohio inspired. Unique shop for gifts that you want to show some personality (especially humor). Staff is super nice! Today I'm wearing my "unfriended a racist" pin on this lovely Saturday that I purchased. :) read more

Heart on 5th, also named Heart Mercantile, sells an assortment of handmade and vintage-themed clothing, minimalist decor, quirky crafts, decor, and bath items. I enjoyed visiting this store, which is located in the Oregon District, Dayton's historical entertainment street. I love their quirky wall prints. A lot of the items are quite useful for the home. This store looks unique and has a mission to give back to the community. Very lovely. They also have an online shopping site, but I would highly suggest visiting the brick-and-mortar store to take a look at all the gorgeous items. I can't wait to visit again! read more

I love Heart!!!! I always find great gifts for my friends and even things for my adult sons, esp. the one in Cali I prefer to support local businesses over a large Corp. keeping my business local instead of buying a CEO a new yacht. This is great for people with a sense of humor. read more

We love shopping at Heart! The ladies running this store have been critical in rebuilding DAYTON in its darkest hours. Not only do we shop there for our family (they have great kid's merch) and for gifts, they are the first place we look when our city is in need. They always have the scoop. From being a drop off location for supplies during the tornado to custom shirts benefitting the tragic shooting that happened steps away from their door they truly are #DaytonStrong. read more

The staff here is RUDE. The items are cute and funny but good luck finding anything. If you need help you will get an eye roll. I had my arms full of gifts and was standing by the cash register and the employee acted so bothered that she had to come cash me out so I could give money to this business. I am not returning. There are better stores with nicer employees. read more

I love this shop! Not only do I always find something fun (and funny), but the owners contribute to the Dayton community in so many ways. That is so important to me as a customer. Whether you're looking for a birthday present, a house warming gift, or to "treat yoself" on a Tuesday, this is the place to go. read more

Easily my favorite shop in Dayton. The owners are wonderful, hilarious folks that are always giving back to their community. I absolutely adore the constant tongue in cheek attitude, you can tell they have fun and have very few, if any, f*cks to give. They offer all kinds of items - shirts, coffee mugs, note pads, most of them being Dayton focused or cheeky one-liners. We have a number of their items on display at our bar - we're lucky to have them in Dayton. Highly recommend. read more

Staff is awesome, items are unique. You will find something you didn't even know you were looking for! You can buy online, or you can and should visit the store!! read more

Looking for a small business with products to satisfy all your witty, feminist, or Ohio-themed needs? Heart Mercantile has it all! I've only been here a few times, but it never disappoints. Many of the products are humorous, some are more serious, all of them are worth browsing. Even in the midst of today's Christmas Eve crowds, the staff seemed warm and inviting. I like this place and will definitely be back, but a head's up for parents: It might not be the place to take middle schoolers or kids who are old enough to read but not old enough to understand the birds and the bees...if you catch my drift. Five stars! read more

A super fun store with lots of unique products- the perfect store to shop at for gifts! I always stop by every time I'm in the Oregon district and never find myself disappointed. I could easily spend a long time in this store because of the sheer variety of stuff they have (a lot of good humor on lots of the stuff they carry as well!). read more

I absolutely love this store! Great gifts and misc items. I've gotten and given many great items from Heart, it's a great addition to all the wonderful things going on downtown! read more
