This place is a lot of fun to walk around. There’s so many things to look at from cooking related supplies and goods to kids toys and any other bits and bobs for yourself or for gifts. Don’t forget to go upstairs too. Staircase in the back, but no wheelchair access to the 2nd floor.

They had our favorite Chocolate Covered Cinnamon Bears, which are hard to find! The Mercantile carries a large variety of sweets, soaps and everything in between. ❤
