Linville River Mercantile

This was an ice cream run for my husband and I on the way back from Tom’s Creek Falls in Marion. What awesome people own/work here! Not to even mention their desserts and ice cream! We stopped for ice cream, but ended up with a piece of cheesecake for me and 2 red velvet cupcakes for him. Everything was amazing! I would have a picture of my cheesecake, but I already ate some of it!

What a great place! It’s a family owned business with relics and antiques from the area. A lot of history in this place. It’s like stepping back in time. I had a banana split and it was amazing. We got peanut butter pie to take with us. It’s all homemade. The owner is very friendly and shared some local history with us. It’s just a great place to stop and relax with some ice cream. If your in the area, stop on by. You can thank me later. We will be back.

Just WOW! After tubing stopped at this cute location that had a sign for coffee and ice cream! Well once I walked in I was welcomed the smell was amazing and I didn’t know where to start! I got the Tres Leches and 2 Cheesecakes with Cherry topping. All made from scratch put it in a box with utensils to go! The place was already good in my option until the food. WOW WOW WOW. Will be back tomorrow I can say this is top 3 desserts I have ever tasted! The tres leches so delicious but yet light and not leaving you full despise the generous slices. And the cheese cake, I want to eat it every day! The cherries were so amazing and I can’t get the taste out of my mouth! Best hands down! I will be while in town eating here and definitely taking some of the home made jam! I think I may buy out the ch

Cute little store full of an eclectic treasure trove of interesting items as well as a large variety of out of this world desserts including cakes, pies, and many flavors of ice cream- all made right there on the premises. The Italian Creme Cake reminded me of my mom's - delicious! Coconut creme pie, pecan pie, and many others. Right in the curve across from the Presbyterian Church on the way to Linville Falls Winery, definitely worth a stop!

Stop in if you are lucky enough to catch them open. Their current hours are Saturday afternoon and Sunday afternoon. We had ice cream - chocolate fudge, butter pecan, pistachio and black cherry. I assure you that they are better than any you can buy in the grocery store. And they have other flavors, shakes and banana splits. We also brought home some coconut cake. Yum! They have an eclectic selection of antique glassware, cookbooks and other stuff to browse through. Sit on the porch and enjoy your delicious treat.
