I love this place! We came for just the cheese bread bowl. The spicy creamy cheese is out of this world!The pumpkin bread pudding was absolutely delicious. They have the most delicious sandwiches, that all have a twist. Like pear...who would guess it is AMAZING. This place is worth driving to visit! Bread is chewy on outside and soft fluffy inside.

A must visit! Owners were friendly and helpful, truly appreciative of the patronage. From the outside the place looks small, but once you enter you see the massive selection on Missouri wines and spirits, along with other boutique gift shops items. To the back and down the staircase is a bistro serving fresh delicious items. I’ve never ordered egg salad in my life, until now. The owners daughter mentioned it’s her favorite and I took her recommendation. So delicious! The Spinach salad was the best I’ve had. Don’t miss this gem.

Cute shop [& some others nearby, too!] But restaurant was really good. Great service, serve wine, tasty dishes! A great place to take a friend, or your Mom. It is in a basement though, so keep in mind for those you might take who arent as mobile

Very tasty sandwiches. A little bit of a log jam in the store. For people in the store, find a place to convene and chat. Let other consumers peruse.

The owners are the most down-to-earth friendly folks youll ever meet. The food was great and all freshly made. The wait staff was helpful and friendly. And if you liked the wines you tried with your meal, you can buy a bottle from their shop. We will definitely be back!

One of our most favorite places to eat in downtown Excelsior! Eat in the cellar, where there is live music on the weekends, and pick up your favorite bottle of Missouri wine upstairs before you go! World’s largest selection of Missouri wines! Great people, great food, great place!

Very lovely quaint place, exceptionally nice owners and staff and I would describe the food as upscale comfort. I had lavender sweet tea, chicken salad on a delicious croissant, and a side of well prepared quinoa salad. Husband had the chicken pesto wrap that was very tasty as well and a side of veggie soup Ends with a couple of kisses. Back upstairs you pay your bill and shop ALL things Missouri very cool.

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! The food, service, atmosphere, and handcrafted old fashioned sodas as all above and beyond! My husband and I visited Excelsior Springs for the first time for a weekend trip and ended up eating here two days in a row because the food was the best weve ever had. We ordered many things from the menu and every single thing was so fresh and not like any food you can get anywhere else. The whole staff are all so friendly and make you feel like family, we felt at home from the minute we stepped in the doors. If you are visiting for the first time or live in Excelsior Springs and have never been here, you have to stop by here and try this food! You will not be sorry and Im sure this will be just as wonderful for you as it was for us! We will be returning to Excelsior Springs again soon just to eat here again :)

Willow Springs is a great place to have lunch or try a wine or beer. During festivals downtown they often have sangria which is always great. The owners are very helpful and friendly. Everyone is family in there. I have been there several times to buy gifts: there is a great variety of coffees and teas, chocolates, and other gift items. If you are visiting Excelsior Springs, this is a must stop.

I absolutely loved this place. They had so many healthy food options and a great selection of wine. The staff also goes above and beyond for their customers which made me love it even more. For example, they didnt have avocado available so the manager ran home, grabbed one of her personal ones, and served it to us. Definitely recommend you stop to eat and drink here.

The willow spring Mercantile is amazing. We have been visiting excelsior springs for 5 years and always make time for lunch here.We have enjoyed everything on the menu and my favorite is the peach nectar tea. I have to take the desert to go since we are always full (salted carmel brownie) upstairs you can taste test local wines and liquors. We seem to purchase some as well!!. Thank you for staying in excelsior springs!!! When you get to Iowa come visit our ranch for a trail ride!!

There are only a few places in Excelsior worth eating at and this is one. Great service the owners always remember me and what weve talked about in the past. Very knowledgeable about the alcohol they carry and they have a great selection; always something new. Love the bands they have. The food is fresh and fantastic. Its one if our favorite places to get hot chocolate or chai tea in the winter and sit and listen to music.

Review №79

We walked in the door and were immediately greeted with warmth and a desire to help. The friendly, caring service continued downstairs in the restaurant. A sandwich with a side was very reasonable- just under $10 with no upcharge for gluten free bread. (They were extremely helpful in getting me a meal that was gluten free and dairy free, e.g. they explained that their pesto contains parmesan cheese. ) The sides were generous and varied - not the usual fries. Everything is homemade from soup to chipotle mayo to gluten free bread. The gluten free bread was delicious...I would definitely say it is some of the best I have had, and I have shopped in bakeries from CA to FL. Thank you Mercantile for a lovely meal and afternoon.

A one of a kind place for wine lovers. Incredible cafe menu, very well prepared food, and the most extensive collection of Missouri wine you will ever find. The owner at Willow Springs may truly be the worlds most knowledgeable person when it comes to Missouri wine. Occasional live musoc, usually calm acoustic fare. This is truly one if my wifes and my favorite places.

Me and my wife were looking for a warm place to have brunch on a cold Sunday morning and most places were closed in E-Springs, when we discovered WSM. I loved their menu- interesting and more on healthy side served by warmest people ever. Looking forward to stop again next time probably this spring/summer.

Such an amazing experience. Cute and quaint little restaurant. Our waitress was fantastic and very accommodating. The food was delicious, fresh, and just the rich proportion. My mom got the Thai chicken flatbread and I got the daily special which was a turkey sandwich with pear and Brie on toasted jalapeño bread. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it! I don’t have a single thing to complain about! Will absolutely be coming back!
