"Super cute coffee shop! I appreciate the fact that they have designated areas to use your laptop and make a priority for community/tables to sit and actually talk! It’s a large space and really well decorated. I love that there are some local brands to buy, food and drinks were delicious. Highly recommend!"

"A must-visit in Charleston! Mercantile and Mash blew me away. From the moment you walk into this beautifully restored historic building, you're met with a vibe that blends charm and intentional design. There’s plenty of seating, and it’s not just functional. It’s varied and inviting, with spaces perfect for studying, casual meetups, or just kicking back and relaxing. It somehow manages to feel both open and cozy at the same time. The coffee options are top tier. Thoughtfully crafted and clearly made with care. I had a layered espresso drink that not only tasted amazing but looked gorgeous too. The buffalo chicken sandwich was the real deal. Crispy, juicy, and packed with flavor. The menu overall offers great variety, from smoothies to pastries to hearty breakfast and lunch options. One of the standout details was the bathroom setup. Multiple individual stalls that are private and super convenient, especially for a busier place like this. That kind of detail really shows they care about the customer experience. The Mercantile side of the shop is equally impressive. You can browse everything from curated wines to snacks, specialty meats, and gift-worthy local goods. It’s like a high-end market tucked into your favorite café. Service was excellent. Friendly, helpful staff who kept the line moving without making anything feel rushed. I could’ve hung out here all day. Charleston is lucky to have this place. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Mercantile and Mash is worth a visit. Every time."

"☕️ Mercantile & Mash is such a cool spot in downtown Charleston. The vibe is chic and laid-back — perfect for catching up with friends or getting some work done. I tried the honey latte and it was amazing — just the right amount of sweetness with smooth, rich espresso. The space itself has a modern-industrial feel with lots of natural light, and there’s always a nice buzz without being too loud. It’s one of those places where you instantly feel comfortable. Definitely a place I’ll keep coming back to when I’m in the area."

"Great spot! I was looking for a coffee shop where I could study and this place was perfect. Lots of space to find a spot to work/study. Added bonus, the food was really good! Burger had pimento cheese, bacon, jam and pickles - it was spot on. The Caesar salad dressing was super light. Will definitely return in the future."

"Came here saw they now have a lqptop zone? Had a coffee.Left went to Blum Coffee just equally as big had a coffee and pastries fron saffron bakery and met with a client. No laptop designated zones and parking. I understand rent is high but businesses I feel should not forget who keeps their doors open. customer service was friendly, and I do agree with the other reviewers that the staff was embarrassed implementing all these laws and rules and it's not that serious. 4 stars to keep it more then fair"
