Noticed Merrymen when nearby for appointment and it was packed out the front and thought must go. And today, 20.3.22 we went and I can see why the place is so popular, the food is delicious!! I had avocado chunks (at least 1/2 avocado) on toast (swapped sourdough for multigrain) and husband had eggs on toast (scrambled which seemed more than the standard 2 eggs) with a side of bacon. We both had coffee (decaf soy latte and flat white) which were also really good and appreciated the mugs they were served in, no scolding hot glass at Merrymen. I also enjoyed a glass of sparkling, Fresco Frizzante, which I was unfamiliar with but the very friendly waitperson gave me a little sample to try. Thank you, great service! And I loved the stemless flute it came in. The meals came out quick (less than 10 minutes) and I would go again as interested to try the vegetarian breakfast burrito which, to my delight does not contain egg, unlike every other place that serves them. Merrymen is very popular and caters for everyone, singles, couples (young and not so young) and families. Great location near the beach and around the corner from Hampton Street. 12.8.24 came for brunch, husband had scrambled eggs while I had lovely bean burrito. We also had coffees (flat white and soy latte). Food and service good but I'm not "beach" I'm more "alternative" so do feel...
   Read moreA great location for a morning breakfast/brunch. Had a (2) person table outside, just gorgeous being so close to the sea air in Hampton. Meals ordered were âChunky Avo on Toastâ- Look, Iâd say for $20.00 plus an extra $2.50 for (1) poached egg, I think the chunky the Avo is missing somethingâŠ.. more flavour needed, perhaps a suggestion of Goats Cheese ( Meredith brand for example) would make this dish perfect. $22.50 and slightly plain. Other meal was the âReuben Benedictâ- $24.00, which came with (2) poached eggs included in the price, and was very flavoursome in comparison. Over all, great flavoursome sauces and I would say a great Chef. The âSmoothiesâ $12.00 each, were slightly disappointing, I expected âthickerâ and my âWellnessâ smoothie could have had Chia seeds through the drink, not just a touch on top. Couldnât taste the Pineapple juice in this smoothie either. Overall, Smoothies need improving for the price & the âChunky Avoâ needs Goats Cheese with this combo. Great Cafe, great...
   Read moreBeen here a few times now and the hype is real.
Let's start off with the food: the menu rotates so it's hard to go from the reviews what you should get. But last time I went I had the chives pancake with a chilli vinegar which was amazing. My brother had a Reuben which was ok. The time prior to that we had the chilli scrambled eggs which was very good.
But the milkshakes are amazing. So many flavours and they are legit fantastic. Can substitute with alternative milks.
The service and staff are super friendly and the place is also dog friendly on the outside. One thing I loved was we were able to stay right up to when they closed, and they allowed us to get our milkshakes takeaway.
Just all round great food and...
