Solstice Mercantile

Super lovely place. I’m always welcomed by a smile and I love stopping by here sometimes when I’m in downtown Fairfax.

Your employee Amelia was so knowledgeable about your products and gave me all kinds of recommendations and helpful information! Added bonus was all of the uplifting artwork by Julie. I will make your store a regular stop when I am in Fairfax. Thank you for making my goal to decrease waste so accessible and for having some delicious chocolates and beverages available for purchase to sweeten the deal!

Awesome cold drinks and food, and nice cosmetics to refill. Love the orange blossom water I bought, and the shop keeper even drew me a detailed hand written label for it. Super kind and attention to detail.

Everyone here is very helpful and knowledgeable. This was my first
time shopping in a plastic free store and I loved it. Plus there’s a lot of local, artisan goodies that make great gifts. I’m sensitive to the artificial scents used in the big brand items, so I was delighted to have options that didn’t reek of chemicals/generic scents. Also cost wise, I found the bulk soaps to be less or on-par w major brands - plus you don’t have to deal with all the plastic (that isn’t really getting recycled.) Highly recommend checking this store out!

Bulk everything. Delicious beverages. Friendly staff. Eco-friendly house products. I can literally bring my empty dishwashing bottle, fill it up for $.35/oz, and walk home to finish washing my dishes. This place completes the heaven that is Fairfax.

Great place to get bee’s wax, but that is none of my bee’s wax.

I love soaps and good smelling stuff, so naturally I enjoyed this shop a lot. Friendly owners and atmosphere.

This is a beautiful and inspiring shop! Very friendly and helpful Staff. A great place to get a gift too!

That’s an amazing place! We definitely should use zero-waste shops in our life. I’m looking forward to come back!

Nicest Zero Waste store around ❤

Im a business owner in medicine and came to purchase personal/hygiene supplies for our clinic while supporting local businesses. After spending a considerable amount of money (exponentially more than had I gone to a big box store). I simply requested an itemized receipt to take a photo of and upload into my accounting app. I was told the receipt would be emailed or texted immediately because they don’t provide printed receipts.

Perfect, except the receipt never populated on my phone or email after waiting:/window shopping in Fairfax. I literally drove 15 minutes out of way just to support Solstice Mercantile.

I popped back into the store to inquire again about the receipt and was told I would have to wait for my credit card statement if the receipt hadn’t already populated. When I pressed the issue, as blanket credit card charges are never sufficient for tax purposes, the store assistant rolled her eyes, asked for my phone number and within 5 seconds texted me the receipt.

My heart and intentions were in the right place. I simply wish I could have been treated with same level of respect, consideration and appreciation.

They need a website and most of all someone needs to show her how to add her phone number to google. Very nice lady and cute store.
