amazing cup of joe ! With Abbie ’ s espresso knowledge , Meredith ’ s expertise in high-quality local ingredients , and Winchester-based Lone Oak coffee , the recipe for success was hatched . “ I had always wanted to own my own coffee shop growing up , and I had always thought that the Merc was the perfect spot to stop for a coffee ,” Meredith muses .
If you throw a stone in Loudoun , chances are you ’ ll hit a coffee shop , so the Mercantile ’ s owners knew they had to create something special , and they did . Their drinks are in keeping with the energy of the store : health-conscious and unique . Brews and teas , invented and crafted by the creative inhouse team , are full of local goodness and healthy additives , such as turmeric and CBD . The coffee bar is still every bit of the Mercantile , and brings new customers in every day to experience its magic .
The Hamilton Mercantile greets customers every morning with its coffee bar window service from 7-10 AM , and the store is open for business 10-6 , seven days a week . Inside , you ’ ll find fresh breads and pastries , local organic produce , and a gift or treat for any desire .
Meredith and Abbie invite you to visit : “ We are here to help any way we can , and would love to meet you . Come say hi , and stay awhile !”
