“Fabulous lunch”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 May 2013 NEW

Had to stand in line but it moves fast. Chicken salad sandwich with chips (no substitutions) is their house special and it is excellent. Self-seating. This place has lots of tables & chairs crowded into it and it is a bustling place at lunchtime. Wonderful place to eat!

“Perfect for lunch”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2013

On a recent trip we had lunch at many good places found through tripadvisor, and we think this may have been our favorite one. When we arrived, the line was long to order at the counter, but they opened up three registers and we were quickly and graciously helped. Our sandwiches were fresh and delicious. There are lots of choices... More

“Perfect bakery. With sandwiches too!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 April 2013

Stopped after lunch, huge selection of baked goods. Gluten free, sugar free and the good stuff-they had it all. I needed a hostess gift so chose some items and they had a basket to use plus set it up for me-perfect!

“Home cooking at it's best.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 April 2013

Delicious home cooked sandwiches and such. My friend and I each enjoyed the quiche special and pasta salad. I finished it off with the AMAZING French Silk Pie (and must admit a cherry Danish). I have a sweet tooth and this place was like nirvana. Go there; you won't be disappointed.

“Yummy!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 April 2013

We did not eat a meal at Merridee's, but the cookies are the best. We got 2 molasses cookies and sat outside to eat them. We had to go back in and get more!!! Will definitely go back for breakfast next time in Franklin.

“Don't Miss Breakfast!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 March 2013

I'd heard good things so I stopped by for breakfast. After some advice from the staff I decided on the bacon egg and cheese croissant. The best I've had. Flaky and soft and delicious. Add a giant latte and it's $10. I'm full but I'm thinking about getting something else just because it was so great! The staff is helpful.... More

“Wowsa!! Best in Franklin”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 March 2013

I have never been to a better bakery...huge selection. We went back 3 times, once for breakfast, once for lunch, and once just for some pastries to go. Extremely clean. Friendly service. Cozy atmosphere. You can tell both locals and travelers go here.

“It was good.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 March 2013

We stopped in for coffee and pastries. The kids wanted cookies. The pastries looked better than they tasted. The cookies were nothing to write home about. My son ordered a snickerdoodle and what he got was a sugar cookie with brown sugar and cinnamon sprinkled on top--not the same thing. The coffee was good. The staff was courteous. It was... More
