Best Bakery & Café in Franklin, TN

Adorable place! Our family was visiting from Louisiana for vacation and we loved downtown Franklin and saw Merridee's and wanted to try it. The salads were so fresh and delicious (I got the Chicken Fruit Salad), and the key lime pie was so yummy 😋 I tried some of the poppyseed dressing that came with my sister's ... salad, and boy, I would buy an entire bottle of that stuff it was so good 😂 My sister also got a Chai latte, and she said it was very good. The lady taking our order at the front counter was so nice and had such a sweet smile! She was working hard and doing a great job! At lunch rush, the place was PACKED, and all four of us had to huddle on a 3-top, but it was worth it 😆 The food was SO good, and we will definitely be back! Read More

5/2025 Update: I had the opportunity to eat here again and it's just as delicious as before. Service is fast and friendly and it gets really busy and the food is delicious! I had a delicious breakfast at Merridee's! I got a delicious iced latte and the Bennett's Scramble and the eggs were perfect! The cheese on top ... was definitely quality. The hash brown casserole was some of the best hash brown casserole I've ever had. When I come back, it'll be hard not to get more of it. It was SO good. Cool old coffee shop atmosphere. Service was quick. Employees were nice. They also offer beer and wine if that's what you are looking for at lunch time. Read More

Great place. I prefer Meridee’s to Puckets next door. The food is better and Meridee’s has espresso drinks. Breakfast as least on Friday, is done at 11:00 so we had to order lunch. I had the gold rush (iced) and the feta and spinach crescent with hashbrown casserole, both of which were excellent. We also had the ... sticky bun, spicy chicken wrap, which was spicier than expected as well as the curry chicken salad on top of a house salad and that was good as well. We will definitely be back!
