The Main Street Vintage Mercado is a great addition to the downtown Las Cruces scene…read more This is the perfect stop for shopping, sitting with friends, enjoying an Italian soda, coffee, or a paleta (Mexican popsicle). The owner is extremely friendly and her barista is equally welcoming. When you enter this establishment you are not just a customer but a welcomed guest. Some unique items you may find here: antique dishes, antique lamps, antique furniture, antique chandeliers, unique items such as antique pipe holders and fabric wall hangings. I have no doubt if you are looking for something in particular the owner either has it or will go out of her way to locate it for you. Further, the prices are VERY REASONABLE. As a collector of milk glass I am an avid antique shopper and I have a good handle on pricing. For example there was an antique chandelier priced at $95, and an antique end table priced at $30, and a ornate milk glass vase priced at $14 (I have seen this exact vase located elsewhere for double). I did enjoy a fabulous Raspberry Italian Soda, the perfect amount of flavoring, including whipped cream and a cherry. Super good!!! There are seats for relaxing with friends over a drink or dessert and the shopping is just a fabulous added bonus! Check back at this location as it has just opened and there is more coming in the future according to the owner. I will revisit!

I love supporting local businesses and have wanted to stop in for a while but the first few times…read morewe went by they hadn't put in their espresso machine yet so we decided to wait. They have since installed their machine so today we were able to get a quick lunch and it was in a word "wonderful." First the coffee. I just got a straight up café latte and it was great. The roast was perfectly balanced and I can say it was worth the wait. My wife had a chai latte which was also great. For my sandwich I chose the Norman Rockwell. I was a little nervous at first because I'm picky about my bread (no wonder bread for me, please) and I wasn't sure what Dave's Killer Bread was. But Dave really knows his bread and the sandwich was delicious. The atmosphere is eclectic but fitting and today we had a musician playing and singing Spanish ballads which was fun. There is also a little antique store that is worth browsing through. The only thing that would have made the experience better is the coffee cups are all disposable even if you are eating in and it would have been nice to have such a good coffee in a real cup. Regardless, this won't be our last visit and it is a great addition to Main Street. On a side note, 10 or 15 years ago my wife and I had a pumpkin soup in Germany that was amazing and has been for us the holy grail of soups. Since that time we've tried to find a recipe or to duplicate it by trial and error to no avail. But today we found that soup right here and it totally made our day. Finding that soup alone made the visit worthwhile.

They vibed with the ambiance and themes. They truly love comics and anime. There is a room completely dedicated to anime, figurines, books, and collectibles. Pinball machines, dungeons and dragons ..... all the stuff you can imagine. They even sell the figurines and paints to create your own characters. My only complaint - there were some explicit covers on things. So although for the most part it's kid friendly. You will have to explain some things to your children after visiting. The prices are fair and the items for purchase are unique. Definitely stop in if you are downtown but be forewarned about the explicit material.

When we arrived there were no other customers and the two ladies working that day were on us like white on rice the entire time. They followed us around every inch of the store and commented and complimented every item we even so much as laid eyes on. It was Uber annoying so we left empty handed. The sales associates should learn to read the customers and adjust. It was clear we just wanted to browse on our own and their constant barrage of sales tactics drove us right out the door.

When I say customer service I'm not asking for extraordinary white glove treatment. I walked and the gentleman behind the counter looked up but couldn't be so much as bothered to greet me and carried on reading his own book.

I would have much rather given my money to a local small business but in this case they didn't earn it. The whole interaction just left a bad taste in my mouth.

If you have time, I highly recommend staying for the Paint and Sip option. There are usually 3 watercolor paintings to choose from with detailed directions on how to make a beautiful piece of art to take home - all for $7 and it includes a nice cup of tea. You can paint in the store, on the lovely patio, or in the cafe across from the shop. Customer service is always friendly and helpful. If you don't want to stay and paint, you can even choose the option to print a piece to paint at home for $3 if you have the supplies. So many options for creativity and shopping!
