Founder’s Mercantile and Coffee

"This was my old office building and they have turned it into a pretty great coffee shop and bakery in the front of the building...shockingly good sausage and egg breakfast sandwich... good job"

"My boss and I rented the large meeting room to work out of for a couple of days and it was fantastic. The room felt like home it was so cozy. Everywhere you look there are goods from local artists and craftsmen. The staff were always friendly and helpful and the coffee was great. I highly recommend the turkey sandwich. It was outstanding!"

"I've eaten here several times, and everything I've had has been delicious. The menu is unique, the baristas are kind and welcoming, and the atmosphere is warm and comfortable. I also love the owner's mission to be a gathering place for people in the community."

"I got the chance to drop by yesterday and was pleasantly surprised! I didn't really have any expectations coming in but at every stage I was overwhelmed with the quality products and customer service of this cafe! On a personal note, I was very excited to see that the coffee they use is a roast specially made for them by Compass Coffee, my favorite small batch roaster in the Vancouver area! Their tea offerings, sourced from another high quality local business, IV Tea, include a number of excellent blends with enough variety to have something for anyone. The service was impeccable, too. I made a few silly requests, including asking about ingredients (I have some odd allergies that I need to be careful of) and asking for an unusual style of chai tea latte. All of my requests were met with a friendly smile and a patient willingness to help. I felt welcomed instead of feeling like a difficult customer, which is not always my experience in a typical "hurry up and order" coffee shop. Instead, I felt this cafe had a really relaxed and comfortable atmosphere that invites you to sit down, relax, and stay awhile. I really enjoyed my first experience here at Founder's and am already looking forward to my next visit!"
