Merritt Coffee Lounge - New Forest

First time here and will definitely come again. Lovely atmosphere decor and very friendly staff. Both breakfasts were delicious and larger than usual portions. I had bacon and waffles and other meal was the main breakfast. Would highly recommend.

This coffee lounge is excellent! The food is great and the staff is very friendly and helpful. The coffee is excellent and the breakfast was delicious. I highly recommend this place.

Fresh coffee, delicious food and a very polite friendly staff member, highly recommend! I had the cinnamon waffle my partner had the breakfast sandwich we both loved what we had.

Had a great brunch, lovely range of options. Everything was cooked so fresh. Great range of hot dishes from the kitchen and the counter was full of gorgeous home cooked cakes. When we popped on they were a little busy so had to wait a few minutes to get served, but completely worth the wait. I had a full English, the fried bread was particularly tasty, but also thick and light at the same time. My partner had the skillet crumpet with caramelised banana, pecan and crème fraiche. Would definitely visit if in the area, for food, a light bite, or just drinks. Takeaway also available!

This is a lovely independent establishment. Not quite a cafe and not quite a restaurant, it happily straddles the terminology. It wasn't our first visit on the 22nd July when had brunch and it won't be our last. An eclectic place, there's reclaimed furniture and fixtures, a great sound system and great music to go with it. It all works beautifully. We both had waffles with bacon, egg maple syrup; I commented to the nice lady who served us the food was more art than food! Find out for yourself, but with Merritts for breakfast and Asha next door for dinner, you can't go wrong!! Hugely recommended.
