Corner Mercantile is an interesting downtown lunch spot with a diverse set of offerings. In addition to their pre-packed salads and protein snack packs, they also have a refrigerated display case filled with sandwiches and various entrees and sides from which a custom meal can be built and heated. They also have lots of healthy snacks for sale like Luna bars and Sun Chips. Finally there’s a coffee and espresso station which makes some excellent coffee.
When I was there around mid-morning, the cafe’s atmosphere was very chill. The wooden tabletops and chairs were comfortable and I liked the music that was playing. It’s a shame they don’t have wifi, but I’ll definitely stop by again.

Food is good , and quality is great the service just is not there , if u pay attention youll see employees touch everything with the gloves they prep food with even they face, so i stopped going , although they was very hospitable dont let that fool you, that being said if you dont have food safety skills or training you shouldn’t work with or near food it makes high quality food very low from not payingattention!!

This is by far my favorite lunch spot downtown! Quick and fresh, healthy food at reasonable prices AND friendly staff! I love the new kiosk to order too!

Best iced caramel macchiatos ever. I can grab a decent breakfast for about 10 bucks and the staff are lightning quick. I am a repeat customer, so 5 stars is a no brainer.

got a cot fish sandwich on brioche and a hazelnut chai coffee. both were very good but I think the sandwich was a bit overpriced but that’s what you get in bougie little cafe in downtown Pittsburgh lol. The ordering tablets weren’t working correctly when I came not sure if that’s a frequent problem but other than that good experience.

I really like this place for a quick and filling lunch wrap and side salad option. They don’t have an extensive menu, but their options are healthy and sufficient. I loved how you can customise your side to either be a salad, red potatoes or brussel sprouts stir fry. I also liked that there was an option to heat up my wrap even though it was from the deli section. Great weekday lunch option overall; but I would plan ahead for parking as the location is at the corner of a busy downtown street.

Walked in excited because I was told they have vegan options. Not really greeted, and no enthusiasm about explaining the menu. Very hands off. Ordered the vegan burrito with a side of roasted veggies. Both burrito and veggies are extremely bland, and I was really underwhelmed. The hype is just that…hype. I’m sorry, but typical Pittsburgh. The palates here are bland, and the food is underwhelming…..it also smelled really bad in the restaurant.

I usually come here for coffee, salads, or protein snacks, and they have a great selection of healthy options. However, I tried the matcha once, and it seemed to be low quality, both in taste and appearance. The color resembled culinary matcha rather than the vibrant green you’d expect from a high-quality ceremonial matcha. On the bright side, their seasonal drinks are quite good, and I’ll definitely be back for those!
