I've been a few times for breakfast and it was awesome. Recently, the company I worked for rented it out for a happy hour celebration. It didn't disappoint! The best hummus was everything I hoped it would be! The pimento cheese toast which TBH I was skeptical about because I'm not a fan of pimentos...was to die for. We also had a decent selection of wine and beer. I chose the prosecco and liked it alot. This place is great. Just eat there. You'll love it. read more

Great little local hole in the wall with trendy food. I love their weekend brunch selections. The service is usually great, however it is a small venue and waiting on a table is commonplace. read more

Awesome place for breakfast and/or brunch! The Bloody Mary's are a must try, they make the mix in house and it is amazing. Steak tacos are delicious and plentiful, they don't skimp on the meat. Service is always great, sometimes tough to find a seat but always worth the trip and the wait for a table. read more

I loved this place. We went there for breakfast on the road since we had such good luck in Fredericksburg before with Foode. The interior design of the place was top-notch for the type of place that it is. The metallic paint on the ceiling and the very top of the brick wall, the mid-century modern chairs, the custom booth cushion, the chandeliers above the bar. And the food was also top-notch. We ordered the beet apple ginger Purity Organic Juice, coffee, sweet buttermilk waffle with blueberry-lemon compote, and the seared chicken biscuit. We shared everything and loved everything. The lemon flavor of the compote was exactly perfect. The biscuits were the perfect texture, the flavor of the sandwich was outstanding and the potatoes were fantastic. Just as we were discussing what a great town Fredericksburg is for food we discovered on the bottom of our receipt that Mercantile and Foode are sister restaurants. Makes sense! read more

We ordered the daily special, which was a BLT. The bread was fresh, as were the lettuce and tomatoes. The bacon was cooked perfectly and they didn't skimp. Loved the fresh made potato chips. This was our first time and we will definitely be back! read more

Apparently this place is in the middle of a soft opening? I went on a Sunday morning about 10 am. With a group of 6 people. Our server was energetic and attentive. She wasn't the most knowledgeable of the menu, but its a soft opening - things are prone to constantly change. I ended up ordering a drip coffee, which is the normal type of coffee you get anywhere else, and the fork and knife egg sandwich. All of it was delicious. The egg was perfectly poached. It's run by the same people as foode, so you can get a sense of what to expect if you have been there as well. I would definitely come here again for brunch. read more

Honestly, this place wasn't great. From all of the reviews and even some of the pictures I thought the breakfast would be fabulous. I'll start off by saying the service was wonderful. The young lady was kind and did a good job. The food on the other hand sucked (sorry for the choice of wording but it fits!). The omelets that we ordered both had onions. They had massive clumps of onions that were still in ring form. The clumps were so big that u had to separate them and it still made at least 3 bites worth of onions per clump. Gross. I had high hopes for the beloved basil omelet. 3 pieces of basil clumped into one bite....this omelet needed help. Next, the ham omelet listed on their menu had sriracha mayo (which I love) but the entire mayo was covered in it. The ham chunks through the omelet were cold. Clearly ig was not given enough time to heat up before the omelet was cooked...and let's not forget the massive amount of clumped onion in this omlet too! Also, the toast....the easiest thing to get right. One slice of toast, zero flavor, barely toasted, non-melted butter. Ugh. The home fries weren't too bad. They looked like frozen, bland potatoes but they surprisingly were the best part of the meal and were very flavorful. The atmosphere was cute and welcoming. Overall, I would not return. There was nothing enjoyable about the food. read more

This is our favorite brunch place during the day, any day of the week-!this place honestly is our place to go to feel better when we're down and to fall in love with down town and the amazing small businesses there, because this is definitely one of them. The staff are all so wonderful and kind, the type that remember you and your preferences. The menu is ALWAYS AMAZING and they even shake it up with the seasons. Even the drink menu is fantastic. If we could come here every week we would. read more

What can I say? This place is worth the stop (and the wait...it was busy on Sunday morning but we slipped in at the perfect time and got a seat right away). I had the hash and it was delicious. Only got goat cheese, no cheddar. I also wanted to try the biscuits and gravy so I got a side of gravy. Turns out a side equals an entire cereal bowl of gravy. Absolutely the best decision I've made. You should make that decision too. Also the orange juice is fresh and the mimosas are incredible. Mollie was our waitress and she was an instant friend because she had on a Shrute Farms shirt....we're Office fans She kept our coffee cups filled and smiled the entire time. Thanks for that, Mollie!!! (And I like your art work on the window!) read more

Great place for brunch. Great ambiance, food is not bad at all. The place gets busy like the other places in Fredericksburg but not too bad overall. read more

Definitely my go-to breakfast place in downtown Fred. Only didn't give 5 stars because the prices are just sort of steep. Understandable since Everything is fresh and local. ALWAYS delicious drinks and food here! read more

Our favorite breakfast/brunch spot! They're really friendly about us bringing our 1 year old with us, which we appreciate. We too often order the breakfast tacos since they're amazing, and every thing else we've tried on the menu is incredible. They make a mean mimosa, too. Try the pour-over coffee and a biscuit! read more

Service excellent -Adorable little place in old town Fredericksburg What I liked-Service,Omelette,Coffee Peach Butter,Biscuits,ambience and decor. What I didn't like -Potatoes-good but too crispy. My personal preference on breakfast potatoes is that they should have peppers and onions in them, if that's not your taste you will like them. Organic Juice-I had the orange mango and it was just awful, weird flavor, didn't taste like orange or mango.I am a big mixed juice person! read more

Never disappoints for a weekend brunch. This place is very busy so make sure to arrive when you're not already starving! In the handful of times that I've eaten here, I've never been disappointed. The food is great without being overly fancy or expensive. The service is also great, everyone is very efficient. They have a great drink selection, their pastries are awesome and everything comes out hot and fresh. It's the best brunch experience in the Burg in my opinion. read more

Aaaaaamazing. Definitely great customer service and the food is delicious and a lot of food for the money. Beautiful interior design

This place is excellent. However I wish they were open until 3 or 4 on Sunday. #after church crowd

Met a friend here for brunch today! I had the Jal-ap-eño Business Marg which was perfectly flavored. There was more so just the essence of jalapeño versus burn your mouth heat, which was appreciated. I could see it being an awesome summer drink. I also shared the cinnamon roll with my friend. It was a bit dry for my liking, but still tasty. I really enjoyed the steak tacos as my entree though! The steak was tender, the eggs were done well, and I enjoyed the kick of cilantro in the salsa that was included. I'm also pretty sure they use homemade ketchup there, which is a very nice touch. Our waitress was also very attentive and kept our water glasses full. All in all, a great meal and I'd stop by again to try something new! read more

My boyfriend and I come here on our days off as often as we can! The bloody mary's and mimosas are delicious and generously portioned, Nathan the bartender makes your drinks with amazing care and skill and is so friendly! The food is delicious and different every week and comes out piping hot every time. The building is small so naturally on the weekend there will be a wait but the staff is exceptionally warm and attentive. The apple butter biscuit starter is delicious and comes on an adorable Virginia shaped cutting board. If you're in downtown for brunch this is the best spot! read more

My husband and I always eat here when we visit Fredericksburg. The food is inventive, fresh and delicious. It's a small, cozy place and you might have a wait but it's worth it. My cranberry walnut brioche french toast with creme anglais and spiced cherries was one of the best things I have ever eaten! My husband had the breakfast tacos which he loved; we shared a dish of roasted potatoes...crispy outside and almost creamy inside. Service is friendly and enthusiastic. read more

Great breakfast with wonderful decor. Would like two pieces of toast with omelette though.

Had a delightful breakfast experience here about a month ago. The menu has a lot of great options, the vibe is very comfortable and welcoming, the music is great. Service was also wonderful. I got the omelet with red peppers, spinach, feta, and mushroom which was delish - as were the potatoes and biscuit. Also got a salad and berry muffin to go for later. The muffin was grilled and delicious. Highly recommend coming here for breakfast/lunch if you're in the area! read more

Some of the best local food in Fredericksburg! It has great vibes and they have delicious vegan options. It's the one place I want to take my family when the visit! read more

Below average food at an incredibly high price. Poorly prepared and offensively small portions. Definitely will not come again.

I saw the reviews on Yelp and wanted to give Mercantile a shot. It was Small Biz Saturday so there was a wait but not too bad - about a half an hour. We were given a call and told that a few seats had opened up at the bar. I wouldn't normally do that because we had my mom in tow but decided to give it a shot anyway rather than wait longer. The server/bartender was super friendly and recommended the breakfast tacos so I got that. I was SUPER disappointed with them. They were served cold as if they'd made them and had them sitting aside just waiting for the next order. My first bite had the overly crispy shoestring hash stabbing the crap out of my mouth before I hit the huge chunk of grizzly fat that was in the taco. After tugging at it and getting it to release, I then had to chew that chunk of grossness. After the third consecutive bite of the same stuff, I decided to dissect the entire 3 tacos and pick out the bits of avocado and cut the pieces of actual meat off in order to eat them. I had literally two bites of steak for each taco. My partner, however, got the Basil omelet which was INCREDIBLE! I had some serious breakfast envy. I had three or four bites of it and would go back just for that omelet. The biscuit was awesome too. My mom got the omelet special which was basically a Mexican-type omelet. She ate almost all of it and said it was great so I'll take her word for it. The iced tea was really great too. I think maybe I just got a bad meal and would give them another shot. Also of note, it's pretty noisy in there. Having a parent along, it was hard to have a conversation and even harder since we were at the bar. read more

Great service and food. Great experience downtown. Definitely a great place. Cinnamon buns and muffins were yummy

Biscuits with sausage gravy and poached eggs- very good; hamburger with cheese, bacon , and crispy onions also very good. Potatoes were way too salty tho. read more

Quaint, solid breakfast spot with an approachable atmosphere. I had the pork chop and grits- very good! Great flavor, creamy grits, savory pork chop with brioche toast and homemade jam. Very New England fresh. The service was fantastic as well. read more

Adorable brunch place with a nice vibe. We came on Sunday and it was very busy. Service was friendly, fast and efficient. We had the hash and 2 eggs with pour over coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice. Bacon could have been crispier, especially since I ordered it extra crispy but everything was otherwise very good and I would definitely go back. read more

It was a pretty good spot for my first time there. Food was O.K. The server we had was friendly and did check up on us frequently to make sure we were okay, however it took them a while to give us our food.... accommodating when it came to certain requests, but otherwise.... maybe? read more

Love this place! There was about a 30-minute wait on Saturday afternoon which isn't terrible. I loved the pastries here. Everything tastes really fresh and homemade. read more

Very cool hipster restaurant in downtown Fredericksburg. We went for a Sunday Brunch and although the wait was 45min, the host and hostess kept us informed of the wait and always provided seating options at the bar as they became available. I was disappointed that they didn't have the vegan option for the smoothie bowl available, but the Tofu Scramble was a great option. Service was friendly and attentive and we never felt rushed - even though they were busy and would have loved the fast turnover in seating. I would make the drive back here anytime and when I do - I'm looking forward to trying other items and one of their crafted cocktails. read more

Yes yes yes. This is one of my favorite stops in Fredericksburg! I love taking visitors and locals here for breakfast. Something for everyone! read more

Honestly, every time I go I am greeted by such a kind staff. Today in particular stood out to me though. We were treated by a nice hostess and then was served by Nathan. He was great! We spoke for a bit and every time I come I look forward to see him and the rest of the wonderful staff. Love these guys! I especially love the food! read more

Went for brunch on a Saturday morning during restaurant week and was so impressed! As a lover of Foode (their sister restaurant), it took me awhile to get over to Mercantile, and I'm sad I waited so long to visit. We were shocked to be seated almost immediately, though that was probably just good luck. My husband and I both ordered two different restaurant week specials, though we were tempted by the regular menu. He got a BLT (which had fantastic bacon) which came with chips and a lemon cookie sandwich thing, plus a side of the pimiento corn bread. I ordered a half sandwich and black bean chili (which also had the corn bread). First, let me tell you...if the corn bread is on the menu, don't even think. Just order it. It is SO good. The inside is a blend of rustic/industrial, which somehow creates a homey vibe. We were about to go do some work on a farm, or else we'd have indulged in a cocktail last weekend. Rest assured, we'll be back for that in the future. Happy to have this addition to Fredericksburg. The more places for brunch, the better! read more
