love living nearby this corner store! great prices and friendly staff. super broad selection of items like house supplies, dog treats, alcohol, snacks, ice creams, to-go lunch packs, and energy drinks. read more

Very friend, good selection of drinks & snacks, and great to have in the neighborhood!

Good selection. New owners make up their own prices as they go along. AND WHATEVER YOUR TOTAL IS THEY WILL ROUND UP AND KEEP YOUR CHANGE!!!! Has happened every time that I pay cash. Last time I asked for my change the guy behind counter pointed at a baseball bat and pretended to swing it at me. These jerks need to be investigated by the Better Business Bureau WA. Shady as fuck!!! I mean, this is theft no? read more

This place is run by humans, not robots; so, sure, life happens sometimes. But they have *always* been friendly, courteous, and genuinely interested in helping provide for the neighborhood. They consistently strive to make things better for their customers by interacting, asking questions, and listening to feedback, which is way more than I could say about the mega-corporate stores in the area. I love this place and the people who work here. Keep up the good work! read more

Hung up on me twice because "he didn't know what he had in stock" and refused to look. Just a rude person.

Though I don't come in here often that much, I have to say that the owner is a very nice, decent, hard-working man. I spoke to him recently about a shoplifting incident last month (September 2018) that left one of his employees badly injured and bleeding after being beaten so hard with a metal cane, which, according to the Queen Anne News, that it actually broke into two pieces. I felt I should offer my support and express my concern in person. These "mom-and-pop" stores operate on razor-thin profit margins. In this day and age, I am amazed that they can compete at al with the chains such as Safeway, Metropolitan Market, Whole Foods, Trader Joe's, Costco, Amazon, etc. The owners, who are immigrants to this country, have to basically stay open 16 hours a day 7 days a week. Shoplifting eats badly into those tiny profits. So I do respect the work they do and wish more of us could support these independent small businesses rather do our shopping at the conglomerates. Please support this business! read more

not sure why the negative reviews for this place, but maybe that's because i moved to uptown from san francisco, ca and am more used to local convenience type stores. mercer mini mart is not a market by any means. they have your standard snacks, ice cream, energy drinks, beer, wine, you name it along with instant ramen, canned food and frozen meals for those staying nearby or need something quick on the go. i go here to pick up bottles of wine for last minute dinner preparations when i don't have time to do a trip to safeway (we all know the lines are horrendous there along with the service button for alcohol and homeless population). they sell american spirits which is an ultimate plus for me. the two cashiers are always the same. super friendly, nice, and quick. they've saved me so much time. i will definitely continue shopping here to support this local establishment. their hours also changed, per their new door posting. they're open until 2 am some nights read more

I like this place because they have 40s. Blows my mind they don't have 40s at Safeway, met market, OR QFC.

It's a perfect little convenient store right next door to where I live. They have anything you might need from a convenience/grocery store. It's a one stop fast stop for most of my on-the-go-needs. I can make quick run here either to buy milk, drano, bread, Oreos or 6 pack. You name it! They have everything from greeting cards to magazines to lottery tickets to snacks and refrigerators of beverages. The pricing here is higher than you would pay at a large grocery store, but consider the convenience factor of shopping here. Sometimes you hit a jackpot and score a packet of Lemon Oreos. Totally worth $4 I paid for it. Also, they have very nice craft beer selection hidden away - way, way in the back! Overall, they make perfect use of their small, limited space. read more

I typically go here in a pinch since I more frequently use the major supermarkets. However, the couple who runs this establishment are quite nice and friendly. They never seem to close or take a vacations! Also, I have, in passing, mentioned that I was looking for a certain item that they did not carry. Invariably, the next time I visit they have the item in stock! Did I also mention they are a lucky store for the lottery. Happy to do business with these folks. read more

For some reason their Cheddar and Sour Cream Ruffles always ALWAYS have more chips with the bright orange cheese on them. (You know how some bags can have chips that are almost white? So sad.) A man stands and watches for you to give the signal that you want to buy beer, then he meets you at the door and gets it for you. Great system for lazy people who don't like bending to get those heavy 12 packs. Also good for people who like to feel they are getting something super special (me, for example) hence the locked door and special retrieval man. Its almost like getting a treasured locked deep inside of the bottom of a mountain buried for years..... or even pretty much the same thing. It is beer after all. UPDATE: Although Ruffles are perfection.... Tostitos are a bit stale... still a five star because I can walk there. read more

Essentials on tap. Toilet paper, salty snacks, wine and ... wine. Their wine selection is decent and I've done some price comparisons with Safeway out of curiousity. I found that Mercer Mini Mart sells most of the wine at the same price or cheaper! And I am a fan of cheap wine... and lots of it! The owners are very friendly and they are open just late enough. I love this place and am stoked to live down the street - though my bank account might not be so stoked since I find myself satisfying more random cravings and giving into whims a lot more often when I know satisfaction is literally right around the corner. read more

This is an excellent place to buy lotto tickets or just an orange soda! This is a family run place and the owners are very nice. They also have dvd rentals. read more

The owners are super friendly and there's a good selection of items here. Good beer selection, great ice cream options and pretty good wine (for a convenience store). Clean and exactly what you're looking for in a local convenience store. read more

Mercer Mini Mart - Hours - Grocery Near Me - Seattle, Washington

this is my neighborhood place. It has a pretty good selection of stuff when you need something but dont want to head to the store. And as a convenience store it is great! The stuff is not cheap but its well worth it and the owners are wonderful people. read more

The family that runs this place is so kind and great to have a chat with during check out. They try to keep a wide variety of things.

OH I almost forgot... also noticed on the wall behind the counter that Mercer Mini Mart has had a few LOTTO winners (including the store itself!). Makes me wanna buy a LOTTO ticket here, but I wanna win the JACKPOT for once, know what I'm saying. read more

Great neighborhood establishment with prices that, although higher than the normal grocery store, do not make you want to poke your eyes out with a spork. It has all of the basics -- chips, beer, candy, batteries, toilet paper, aspirin, sorbet, generic birthday candles, tampons, superglue, and porn. It also carries my new favorite bottled drink ever, Honest Ade Orange Mango. read more

Something about shopping here makes me feel like I'm supporting the local community, cause it's a family-run corner store. It's a silly thing to say but maybe just seeing the same people every time makes me feel good. It's got the basics you'd expect at a convenience store and they're open fairly late. Most of my shopping here is either 1) need 1-2 things and not in the mood for Safeway lines or 2) about to play tennis and need a drink or quick snack. Occasionally I started baking something only to realize I was out of an ingredient like milk and it's good for that. read more

Please don't spend your money here. They are the rudest cheapest mini mart owners ever! They will try to charge you 10 cents for a bag from Safeway, they mark up the prices on everything, oh and please do not buy "food" from here. Do not buy the baked goods as they are old. Just don't ! Walk a few blocks to Safeway. read more

Great store! Family run, everyone is incredibly friendly, and good prices too!
