Gilmore's Mercantile Coffee Roaster

Description: Take a step back in time and enjoy the relaxed shopping experience of the 1920’s General Store, and sit with friends at our cafe, or relax with a good book in a comfortable reading space. Enjoy free Wi-Fi while you spend time with us. We will offer in-house roasted coffees, bulk coffees, teas, spices, oils and vinegars.

Our cafe will offer specialty coffees, teas, soft drinks, and light snacks, such as pastries. In addition, there are a variety of exclusive and reasonably priced items for your entire family. We are open, stop by anytime and visit!

Comments: A gift shop, roastery, spice store, and coffee shop all in one. Rustic, cozy, vintage, is how I'd describe this place. Free Wi-Fi, decent access to outlets, and a good selection of coffee and tea.

I'll admit, it took some convincing to get me out to Gastonia, but it's got its own charm. Worth a day trip to the area, after stopping here, you can go shop at the nearby Dillard's Clearance Center (the deals are real) if you're looking to update your wardrobe.
