Thomas Mercantile — Local services in Oxford

Since opening last year, I've frequented Thomas Mercantile several times, drawn by its proximity—just a 15-minute drive from home—and the refreshing departure it offers from the usual spots in Preston. The atmosphere, curated by the delightful ladies who run the place, exudes warmth and familiarity, making every visit a pleasure.

Today, I indulged in their special: a tomato soup paired with a chicken salad sandwich. Both were delectable, but the tomato soup stole the show—truly the epitome of perfection. It's safe to say, it's the best tomato soup I've ever had!

Absolute favorite store on the whole planet! First off, the owner is just plain kick ass, she's so chill. The staff is excellent, and very helpful. Then there's the Merc Burger 🍔 🤤 even if you're not hungry. Stop and get a double. You won't regret it. There's also a PLETHORA of just random items, that are very thought out. From USB adapters to fishing tackle. They've got Harry Potter and they've got fidgets. Knives and rings are beautiful. I could go on and on, but I'll leave you with this awesome collection of games you can play there. GO...
