Great local place. We decided to stop by for a break in the work day. The Cafe has a variety of seating. If you want to sit at a table and do some work, it is a quiet, nice workspace. If you want to relax on a comfy sofa chair with an end table for your coffee and cake you can come right in and get comfortable. The menu is fresh and appealing. There are a variety of sweets and sandwiches. But I highly recommend grabbing one of their designer, delicious, one of a kind coffee drinks. Follow us for more great reviewsTM
I love their lavender latte Hot! Definitely not overpowering of the lavender but just enough to enjoy it ! They seriously have the best coffee beans
Had a chai latte Friendly folks Nice atmosphere
This is our family's go-to coffee shop! Nice big, open space that is well decorated, good seating options, would work well for a big event (party, concert)! Their specials menus are the best I have experienced at any coffee shop. Lots of creative drink concepts, really strong variety and fun flavors! You will want to come back to try to everything before the next menu drops. Jayden made me the best iced latte I've ever had (Stick Season from winter menu) today, which prompted me to leave a review. 10/10, best in the area!
First time trying this little place in Nicholasville. I saw on a Facebook post from Coffee Lovers of the Bluegrass and there was a picture of a Latte Flight for 9. Decided to check it out with my daughters today. First of all the location is a great downtown location and I really like the inside. The exposed brick is fantastic! The menu options as you can see pictured are very unique with a lot of great flavor options. Although the Latte Flight wasn't available (weekends) we ordered 4 different options and all of them tasted excellent. If you're looking for a great place to try this one won't disappoint.
When I tell you I stumbled into my dream coffee shop, I mean it. I googled coffee near me and parked and got transported to a cozy and inviting place. The space is large but had nice seating areas all over. The menu is right there so you can figure out what you want without feeling anxious or rushed at the counter. They have hot homemade sandwiches that feed your soul as well as your stomach. I purchased the sausage, egg, and cheese on toast with Vermont Cheddar. *chef's kiss* I also found out I like Gregory Alan Isakov as it was playing beautifully at the perfect noise level. And to top it all off, the staff were super nice and accommodating. I wanted to recreate the dreaded corporate "S" brand's discontinued Toffee Nut latte, and they were so sweet about it and wanted to figure it out too. (I recommend butterscotch hazelnut!) This coffee blew the chain out of the water, as rightfully expected. I had a moment to sit and enjoy the atmosphere and I wanted to figure out when I could come back again and show it off to friends. I also left with a cozy T-shirt that was for sale in the shop inside as well. I don't think I want to go anywhere else for coffee now.
I rented this coffee shop for my baby shower, it was everything I wanted!! When I came in to look around a week or two before, I was very pleasantly surprised at how clean, and cute it is! I love the decor, it’s a great place to sit and relax, have some coffee. I tried 2 drinks while I was there, they were delicious! Better than star bucks! They have a real talent, I look forward to coming in again soon!
For a while, most cities in central Kentucky (With the exception of Nicholasville) have had a fun, quirky little coffee shop on its main drag serving all your favorite coffee drinks along with sweets and upscale sandwiches. With the addition of The Mercantile to its Main Street, Nicholasville has now joined the crowd. When I stopped by around 9:30 AM on a Saturday there was a good crowd. I ordered the sausage, eggs and cheese breakfast sandwich on Texas toast. The eggs were scrambled with melted cheese, The eggs along with salty sausage patties and buttery Texas toast made for the perfect breakfast bite. There is parking on Main Street and a lot across the street. You can also park in lots on 1st Street and enter through the back. But no matter how you enter, you will not leave disappointed.
