5 Best Coffee Shops in Merrick

“Just have to give a quick shoutout to Hard Bean on Merrick Ave. Victor and his wife Elise opened 10 days ago just north of the train station. My fiancé and I were talking to the owners and learned that opening a coffee shop was Victor’s dream. After working at his previous career for almost 30 years, he retired and opened this place. It’s charming inside and the coffee is delicious and less expensive than *$s. They are literally a mom and pop shop and after spending some time there I wanted to post to support and recommend Hard Bean to all the locals.“

“The best coffee baristas I love RS BEANERY!!! If your having an awful day just come there and you’ll be cheered up by the wonderful staff!!!! Can’t recommend RSB ENOUGH!!!!!“

“It was my first time coming into playa bowls Merrick and I was helped by Alicia and Quin they had amazing customer service. I was confused by the huge selection of açaí bowls and had many questions and they were happy to answer them with no hesitation.I eventually chose my açaí bowl and it was very flavorful filled with fresh fruit and delicious. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend Playa Bowls Merrick.“

“My family I love this store with all of my heart.“

“So thrilled my husband and I stopped it - what a gem! I had the coffee of the day, the vanilla velvet, medium, hot, black - and it needed nothing! DEEELISH. My husband had the Gina - which was a shaken espresso with a hit on brown sugar and (honestly, not sure what else - doesn't matter; menu is extensive). It's mind-blowing how many options!!! The place is adorable - clean, fun, delightful - the women working the counter helpful since we had never been - explained how their flavors work, etc. (no syrup, no sugar), and I can't wait to head back to try more. Definitely get to Red Label - treat yourself. It's a wonderful coffee place!“
