Merridee's Breadbasket Merridee's Breadbasket is a bakery and restaurant located in downtown Franklin, TN.

Merridee McCray, the founder of Merridee’s Breadbasket, grew up baking breads, pies and sweets from scratch with her mother. It was a tradition passed on to her by her grandmother, Anna Maria Faust, who once served as head cook for the Pillsbury family. When Merridee passed away in 1993, Jim Kreider bought Merridee’s Breadbasket. Today, Jim and his exceptional team are still making everything from scratch, creating products that not only have a great taste, but are nutritional as well. Merridee’s features a variety of baked goods, homemade soups, quiches and fresh salads.

National Coffee Day + a Franklin morning that understood the assignment ☕️🍂

The doors are open, the coffee is hot and honestly, when Tennessee gives us a morning like this, you take your cup outside and stay awhile.

Whether you’re grabbing your usual on the way to work, meeting a friend for breakfast or settling in with something sweet from the bakery, consider this your very official excuse to make a Merridee’s coffee run today.

Because National Coffee Day only comes once a year… but thankfully, coffee at Merridee’s is an everyday situation. 🤎

Come see us in downtown Franklin and enjoy this weather while it lasts.

We woke up to a little taste of fall in Franklin, and that’s all the invitation we need for soup on the patio 🍂🥣

Make a Monday lunch out of it: a warm bowl of soup, a sandwich, and a few minutes to enjoy the cooler air at Merridee’s. The heat may be back by the end of the week, so we’re taking the fall vibes while we can 🤎
