Merlins Coffee

Holy cow! What a little gem this place is! The lady and her husband that own the place are cat obsessive. Cat decorations everywhere. Conversations about cats. Cat rescue donations can be made. Cats. Cats. Cats.
Absolutely awesome lady. So friendly. All coffee is organic. They roast their own beans.
It used to be like a cat café, with cats in the café, but she said the health board put a stop to it. Shame.
Tell you what though — tons of love. Beautiful place. Excellent coffee. Can’t go wrong.

I found this place to be really charming. The guy behind the counter was friendly and referred to me and my sister as «ladies,» instead of guys, which I find to be much more polite. They had tea bags on sale so I got those and an iced red eye. My sister ordered some frozen oreo-​coffee thing that was delicious even though I’m sure it was loaded with calories. He had some leftover and he gave the rest to me for free, joking that he already weighs 300 pounds so he’d better not drink the leftovers all day long. There is a nice outdoor patio where we relaxed for a little while with our drinks. You can buy whole coffee beans there too and they seem to have a good assortment.
Definitely will be back! Do yourself a favor and come here instead of Starbucks. Your wallet will thank you :)
