I have been digging this café in the mornings. Firstly, it's nice to see anything open up in this space as it has been empty for the past couple of years. I have been stopping in here for breakfast about once or twice a week since they opened and I am please with the addition to the neighborhood. Merriweather has even kind of reminded me how much I like cafes in general. I love the light and airy design of the space, and I have noticed I can usually pop in and out for my breakfast sandwich and coffee faster at Merriweather than at some of the other chain options in the neighborhood.
The coffee here is from Counter Culture, which is a popular choice in the neighborhood, but its not my favorite. For breakfast I get the morning sandwich which is served on a brioche bun with tomato, avocado, egg, sharp cheddar (I think) and harrissa sauce. At $9 it's a bit of a splurge for breakfast but it's pretty tasty.
Overall a great addition to Hudson Street and I hope they do well. read more
