Merriment Cafe, a hidden gem in the West, serves coffee beans from Proud Mary. The spacious interior exudes a relaxed vibe, complemented by soothing music. It is a nice neighbourhood cafe for folks living in the area. I visited on a Sunday morning and found a peaceful hour of reading amidst the cafe’s ambiance. They even have power outlets, making it a great spot to work on your laptop if needed. Currently, they’re offering a special promotion: $12 sets for a drink and a sweet or savoury pastry of your choice.

Nice spacious cafe located under West Side place apartments. Very chill spot to study without much distraction. Wasn’t too busy — not that many people when I went (~1pm), which was perfect for focusing on my work. Their iced mocha was decent. Will come back again.
