Review №1

I think Ive gotten the short end of the stick most times I go. I usually get tea, but the few times Ive had the coffee it wasnt exactly the best. I do have a large sweet tooth, and it takes a lot for their coffee or tea to be the slightest bit sweet to me (I ordered a pumpkin latte today and it was more on the bitter side even after I asked for extra sweet). Ive also had a tendency to get grounds at the bottom of my coffee. My fiancé doesnt typically have this issue, so it might be a difference in brewing methods between the drinks (he got a normal coffee).Overall, the brews have a good flavor, and I thought the latte art was cute

Delicious treats, and adorable gifts, from this local, woman-owned shop. Featured in a great location and beautiful building downtown, the staff is always friendly and fun to interact with.

Coffee quality, decent. Customer service poor as can be. I wanted to like this place, and I rarely give out low ratings but geeze what a visit. Can’t wait to not visit here again.

This is my go-to shop to find locally made, handcrafted items when I want to gift someone something special. Family + friends near and far are always happy to receive presents (and funny, handmade cards) from this place!In our own home, we have a couple locally made rugs, some Evansville swag (the River City mug + Evansville map & hanger), and locally made beard oils, too.Plus, the coffee + pastries are delicious!

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and cute artisan wears. I found quite a few items that i likes and I thought were reasonably price. Great if looking for a quick gift for someone or yourself. Lots of Evansville gear (stickers, shirts, postcards, etc.). They even have coffee, which I didn’t try but looked to be made fresh. Quite a fun little shop! I’ll definitely be back.

New in town, heard about this place from my apartment building so I went to check it out. The baristas were not very friendly and did not say hi when I entered. One was more interested in her phone, the other one was was polite. The coffee was alright, 16oz is a large here. Overall it’s fine but not what I’d expect from a highly recommended local coffee shop. I wouldn’t go out of my way to get this coffee.

The best part about EVV downtown is this coffee shop. The atmosphere was fun and a great place to chill and drink coffee. Theres also some fun gifts and EVV t-shirts. I definitely see myself returning. The ladies there were down to earth, I enjoyed their service.

First time here and was very impressed! This place had more than just poke --sushi rolls, tacos, burgers, etc! The poke bowl was amazing; the fish tasted so fresh. I also ordered the tacos and OH MY! Those babies were mouthwatering! It was the first Ive tasted anything like them and it was refreshing!

Great coffee shop with locally made items. We were traveling back home and made a stop here. Got some really cool postcards and drinks. The barista was very nice, I tried the Americola which sounded good, but after a few sips did not like the flavor of espresso and coke combined. He was nice enough to make me a new drink! Which I really appreciate!

I love this place. They have unique flavored coffees and they have pastries too. They have a variety of t-shirts with graphic designs unique to our city. A lot of the items for sale here are made locally. And the first Sunday of the month from 3pm to 6pm is board game night with family friendly card and board games available to play ir bring your own games to play. It is so much fun and I have made some new friends.

Review №41

This place was awesome! The handmade goods are incredible and fun and funky, and the coffee and baked goods were delicious. My one complaint is that we were buying some items to support the shop, and my sister had misread the price of one. When she asked the associate the price and decided not to get it, this little younger barista (shorter, dark haired, thin) came up and rudely said, was that seal broken before you picked it up?. I was underwhelmed by her lack of customer service skills and her attitude. For this reason, I doubt I will return if she is working. I want to support this shop but not her attitude and lack of appreciation for customers and business.

I was surprised at how many cool local items are available in Evansville. They have coffee, snacks, and plenty of great gifts. If you are looking for an Evansville welcome gift, please try this store.Cool coffee shop with a nice selection of local and artisan goods in historic downtown Evansville. We found some great cards, handmade soaps, and other items.

Review №43

Unique, hand-made, bright, and dare I even say... cool? Seriously, this place is worth visiting regularly for the best reasons. The items offer throughout the store area are just wonderful. You will be impressed. Add to it a coffee shop that serves delicious brews and other unique blends and beverages, and you absolutely cannot go wrong. Not sure where to go downtown? River City Mercantile & Coffee Co. should be on your list!

A great place in Evansville. The coffee is superb and the boutique shop has a little bit of something for everyone. More importantly; however, the staff is friendly and helpful. Within just a weeks visit they learned my usual order and were kind enough to recommend other sights of the city to check out. This is a must-stop shop when you find yourself on Main Street.

I havent even been here, but you win my stars for assisting my friend who needed an internet connection for work. Coffee shops are likely big contributors to the economy. A safe haven for people to meet, a place to socialize, and a place to help startups and independent contractors to connect. I hope to stop here if I make another cross country trip someday, places like this make the world a better place.
