"Merridee’s Breadbasket is an absolute gem in the heart of Franklin. I came here with my dad and my daughter, and it turned into one of those simple, perfect mornings you don’t forget. The atmosphere is cozy, welcoming, and full of local charm — brick walls, warm lighting, and that Southern small-town comfort you hope for but rarely find. The food was phenomenal. I had the quiche and it was spot-on — flavorful, fresh, and baked just right. The bacon was thick, perfectly crisp, and full of flavor. Their coffee was exactly what you want to start your day with. My daughter loved every minute here, and the staff was kind and patient with families. If you’re in Franklin — whether you’re local or visiting — Merridee’s is a must. It’s the kind of place where great food meets genuine heart. We’ll be back for sure."

"Had heard a lot of good things from multiple sources about Merridee’s so had high expectations. Food ranged from fantastic to good and they had a lot of options for breakfast. Ordering was done at the front desk and food was brought to you later. Coffee and tea was standard fair and nothing to write home about. Overall they seemed to have a ton of bakery options as well but we did not order those so cannot speak to how good that portion may have been. There were multiple people eating there that only got the pastries."

"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!"

"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."

"I would not recommend this place. We had high hopes with seeing their menu and the food in the cases. The cinnamon roll was stale and dry. The chocolate milk was sour—looking at the date, it was three weeks expired!! We told the cashier and she said to grab another. Well, all of them were expired so we got a soft drink. We were there for 45 minutes and on the way out we looked in the cooler and all of the milks were still there—for sale (it’s a serve yourself case). So, they knew they were selling spoiled chocolate milk. No knives available until your food comes out so we couldn’t cut the cinnamon roll. The omelet was good but everything lacked seasoning. Their biscuit was good. Again, would not recommend this place."
