Welcome to the General Mercantile, home of the finest “gold” to be found on Last Chance Gulch! Since 1971 the Merc has been providing a unique counter culture to the community of Helena, Montana along with some of the best coffee around. The hissing of the vintage espresso machines and aroma of freshly ground espresso fill the cozy niches throughout the store, all of which are a perfect places to sip a warm latte, hot cocoa, or an old-fashioned soda while playing scrabble or other board games. The Merc also sells unique gifts, cards, novelties, candies, and more. Come pony up to the bar and enjoy a very fine cup of coffee with us. (Please note we do not provide wifi and have limited seating. Thank you!)
