Gilmore's Mercantile

Heard about this place through my pork supplier, Basswood Creek Farm, as this is one of their pickup locations. Decided to see what it was all about since I was out of coffee at home. Delightful little store, family owned and run. I want to come back to enjoy a cup of coffee and sit for a while one morning. Many of my favorite things here: kitchen items (like Lodge cast iron), spices, teas, quality olive oil... And taste testing! Always fun. I was a little confused about parking as there are no signs indicating I am in the right place, but Google did not lead me astray.

A very huge selection of seasonings, flavored cooking oils and vinegars. Huge selection of fresh coffee beans that they will grind for you. Very friendly atmosphere and customer service is great!

This is an absolute gem of a coffee and gift shop in Gastonia, NC & I highly recommend you stop by!! Tasty roasts, oils & vinegars, local handmade items, baked goods, comfy chairs, tons of games to play, and just an overall warm and cozy atmosphere! Plus, we had INCREDIBLE service by Jessie (Thank you so much and we’ll definitely be back!)
Jessie is super sweet and very knowledgeable and she took the time show us around. We got to see to the beast of a roasting machine they use in-house and she explained how the owner, Rachel, uses locally sourced beans. The place smells incredible, as you can imagine, and the coffee was delicious! So many roasts!
Oh - and did I mention the many oils and vinegars they have there that you can sample?! The strawberry balsamic was superb!
Their gift selection was quite ample. I picked up some luxurious Turkish bath towels for about $12 each. You CANNOT beat that! I also bought some fancy mint tea and an adorable locally crocheted snowflake ornament.
We came in just for coffee, but left with so much more; a real feeling a being part of the lovely Gastonia community. Do not miss this spot!!

Wow this place is a hidden gem. A charming little store front and coffee roaster. The owners were very friendly and accommodating. All the coffee was fresh and is roasted weekly. A great place for a date or to bring a book and enjoy some delicious coffee. Needless to say I will definitely be coming back. 6/5 stars 👍👍

Lovely experience at Gilmore's.
Very friendly and helpful. Chock full o' stuff!
Chick full o' coffee!.
They have ground and whole beans.
They grounds some whole beans for me on the spot!
They have some unique special blends not found anywhere else on Earth!
Bought a pound of " Midnight in G-Town " blend. Had some this morning, 5-13-2023.
Excellent! I look forward to more tomorrow!
Highly recommend.
If you are reading this, then you need to go check out Gimore's!

I love the southern charm. Must haves are the baked goods, the infused olive oils, and vinegars on display... The staff is extremely friendly, and the coffee beans are amazing.. Great place to relax over coffee or conversation.. I could go on and on, but you must try it for yourself...

Cool place where you can have coffee and buy infused oils and vinegars of good quality, coffee beans of may different types, some clothing, local honey, etc. It's definitely worth more that one visit!

I’m a coffee freak and after paying a few visits I can safely say this is the absolute best coffee I’ve ever had in my life and it’s not even close. Never too sweet or bitter and super consistent and the prices are great. Side note: you must try their flavored cooking oils!

We went this morning to check it out. It was great. The oil, vinegar and spice variety was something that Gaston County needed. The coffee was great too!

Stopped in to check out the new store. Great service by the young lady running the coffee station. After I got a cup of coffee to sip on while I looked around, she offered samples of their whole bean selection and then helped me pick out a great selection of imported olive oil infused with mushroom and sage. Neat little store to hang out with a couple of friends and enjoy a cup o Joe. Some great options for cookware too.
