Reviews for General Mercantile in Helena, MT
What a gem of a shop, from fun souvenirs to cute gifts they have something for everyone. Then what really exceeds expectations... is the chocolate bars... bar where they have chocolates from all over the world pairing amazingly with the espresso drinksserved up. All while being in a historic building in downtown Helena with small nooks to hide away and enjoy your treats. Wouldhighly recommend visiting, "The Merc". Read more

Great place to get a coffee and shop for goodies and teas. More of a place to come and have a social experience or meet friends... rather than have a quiet moment to yourself. Be aware they DO NOT allow laptop use in the shop. Not a complaint, I just wouldhave liked to have known before I came. I respect that they are trying to preserve a certain culture but it is not something Iam personally looking for. That is the reason for 4 stars. Read more
One of my absolute favorite places in Helena! I go there every time I'm downtown. They make the best coffee and tea! The staff... is always friendly and welcoming. They have an awesome selection of gifts, candy tea, and novelty items. If you have kids under12 they can climb up into the tree house in the top of the store and they have a little pond with 2 huge koi fish that eventhough they're fish, seem happy to have you there. They will swimmright up to the surface of the water and poke their heads outto say hi. I love all the little hole in the wall booths and tables so you can find a cozy place to sit and sip your drink andplay a game of cards with a friend. Definitely one of the best parts of downtown!
