Life’s Patina Mercantile and Cafe

I really gem in Chester springs. I'm so glad I found this cafe. The food is amazing and the store, I want everything. There's parking right across the street. I'll be a regular ❤️

This feels like a place where love is harmed.

Every-time I go there I can’t help but noticing how un-naturally tense the staff is. Like the ball are frozen a bit stiff. As a healer this level of entrainment is hard to achieve unless someone is pretty nasty to someone and repeatedly so. They are very kind sweet souls each one of them, and I hope whoever is making them so tense lightnes up so they can feel comfortable and more at home so their customers can also feel more comfortable and at home in a place that doesn’t just not only look like it but feel like it too. Um k? Cos that would be really awesome. I like that place I want to go there a lot but I can’t keep taking the hit if feeling more tense every time I walk in and out of the door no matter what I try to do.

Here goes writing a review. I hope that will fix the problem.

Lighten up on them, they are children. Try to get it right this time! It’s a second chance, you can do it. (Lol just guessing) haha k bye 🤙

The most incredible gem awaits. The food is top. Quality service was excellent and friendly plenty of seating in a beautifully decorated rustic setting!
Great for business meetings, coffee, or lunch with friends or just on your own as I did today to do some business!
Cannot wait to return. I hope it’s here forever! Even the drive there was quaint and beautiful.

The merchant part and the store is absolutely adorable and so many wonderful goodies and high-quality items!!

Second visit was equally lovely planned for about an hour for lunch and take your time Friday. Fridays are typically a busy day for them, but it’s worth it. Everything is delicious. I had the ham griller today and the lemon cake. It was amazing.!!!

One of my favorite places

The best spicy chai latte

Really cool historic building and lovely staff. Great coffee, and the front porch is a great place to sit. However—

I was disappointed by the food. We ordered sandwiches and then they told us to grab them out of the cold case, as they’re not made to order. For $14 sandwiches, it would be nice if they were made to order at the very least.
