Todd Mercantile

WOW! Hands down the best gluten free cake, brownie and cinnamon roll I have ever had!! The store portion could use some updating and arranging but has huge potential. Todd has always been a bit sleepy when compared to surronding areas like West Jefferson, Boone, Blowing Rock, and Banner Elk, but is a neat little corner of the world. The old general store is currently closed and for sale, so the Mercantile is really the only scene. I would encourage more local craft makers and artists to display items at the store and more folks to come relax along the river or on the front porch at the Mercantile. A young man was playing guitar while an older woman sang when we were by there. If for no other reason, go for the baked goods...I have been all over the world, and even before going gluten free, these goodies are some of the best! The chocolate torte with chocolate icing and chocolate brownie were my faves, followed by the cinnamon roll and chocolate chip cookie. I didn't try anything else this time, but will be back, and will stock up! I need these recipies! Thank you to the owner for creating such delishisness and caring for those with food sensitivites! They even had some egg free items!

Neat place. Really nice helpful staff. Has decent keto and gluten-free bakery items.
