Had a quick breakfast here - very nice place in what appears to be an old refurbished factory. Very quaint, lots of good selections.

Love this place! They do a build your own breakfast sandwich. I get bacon, a fried egg, and cheese on a croissant. Probably my favorite breakfast sandwich in town. Drinks are also always good.A lot of people like to sit and work, so seating can be limited. Parking is easy. There is a lot out front with free spots for those dining/shopping.

Food is mediocre staff is incredibly rude. Been here many times because the atmosphere is great. But today I ordered a large English breakfast tea. When I went to pick up at the counter it was a small. The barista said we only do small tea. I said well maybe they should've told me that when I ordered it. She said we only have two sizes for coffee. I looked at her and said "you realize how absurd that is, right?" She just stared at me. I said the difference is an extra inch of water... You still have to give me a teabag and a cup. She refused. NEVER again, I cannot be places where staff does not use common sense....so absurd.

I met someone here for a business meeting and y'all.... It was great! The first thought walking through the door was "why haven't I been here before now?!" They have such a cute design and layout inside, with a wine section, kitchen/home decor, plenty of seating, and I was surprised to see they have their own butcher area as well. I was there just before closing, but the staff was friendly and welcoming. I'll definitely be back there to work and enjoy coffee and or wine!

Good coffee and a convenient coworking space. I didn’t love the food though. My Avocado Toast had very little avocado on it but it was covered in sweet onion. The flavor was a bit off and it took them 27m to make it which I found to be a bit long for such a simple dish.

My favorite cafe in Charleston! The breakfast wrap and iced vanilla bean latte are my go-tos and the vanilla sugar croissant is unreal

My first time at Mercantile and Mash was amazing. Kate and Jolie went above and beyond in my experience here, and in helping others enjoying their time at this coffee shop. While all of the other workers were also amazing, these two stuck out as a guest had spilled her coffee on herself without even drinking any. The guest did not go and ask for another or for help, but having witnessed this i decided to go up to the coffee bar and tell them. They immediately made her a new coffee and brought it to her. I did not expect anything in return, Kate went above and beyond by giving me a cookie. I will defiantly be coming back to this shop, and bringing my family when they are in town!

First and last time here because it's just not worth the hassle. Great concept and variety on menu and the food was ok but trying to find parking and a table to eat is insane!! I get the concept but they waist so much space and personally I'm not with the community seating. Now I will say my cappuccino was everything but still just not worth the hassle. I Cappuccino!
Merchantile and Mash is an absolute gem in downtown Charleston! This vibrant coffee shop and cafe not only offers an array of mouthwatering options but also boasts a staff so friendly, they make you feel like family. As REALTORS®, we find it the perfect spot for quick work breaks or client meet-ups. The atmosphere is buzzing with energy, and every visit is a delightful experience that leaves us eagerly looking forward to the next one! A five-star oasis for both business and pleasure.

Merc & Mash is a great place to come for breakfast or work when you have a little bit of work to do. The food is really good and the free chips with certain items are a nice perc. Highly recommend if looking for a place to chat with someone or work in a fun upbeat

The ambiance and food are wonderful! However, I found it annoying how people clearly not eating were set up with their computers taking up tables that would ft 4 people for themselves. My party, which consisted of myself, my sister, and two teenagers had to sit separately to eat, which wasn't ideal. It was a little frustrating to see people being so clueless, when there were plenty of single seats available.

Loved it. Would prefer if orders were taken from tables and not standing in line. Food was good and enjoyed viewing the products. In the Cigar Factory a major plus. Read "The Cigar Factory" by Michelpe Moore.
