Delightful store in everyway! Authentic and unparalleled service even though we arrived minutes before close, we were treated with kindness and wonderful assistance. The Merc, adjacent to the gorgeousTown Square, was a true example of the beautiful, artistic and strong community spirit we witnessed in our short visit as we passed through Marion, IL.

Great ice cream. Owner was very personable and informative. Had a lot of other neat items for sale.

I love everything about this place! The coffee and ice cream are amazing! There are gift options for every occasion. The owners have never met a stranger. So thankful for genuine, caring companies that want to invest in their communities and personally in the lives of their customers.

The Merc is a great addition to the revitalizing downtown square. Super tasty ice cream. Friendly service.

I loved the design and they have this really cool refrigerator and I suggest the sea salted carmal and this awesome tea pot you put loose tea leaves in it and when you are ready to drink it will pour out the bottom separating the leaves for a lovely cup of tea it costs 20$

Delicious selction of ice cream that changes regularly, excellent cold brew coffee and very friendly people

Great coffee and amazing ice cream. This place has it all. There is jewelry and really great stuff for the house. I highly recommend stopping in.

This seems like a newly reopened shop and Im definitely glad someone recommended it to me. I took my grandparents here after dinner and...What a unique, fun place! Art and other random pieces plus...ice cream! Great combination and ice cream was delicious. I cant remember the flavor I got but they had a lot of interesting flavors in addition to the classics. I believe we met the family who owns/runs this place and they were genuine and wonderful. I will be back.
