Hard Bean Coffee, a contemporary and cozy new coffee shop and cafe, has opened in Merrick. This welcoming space on the corner of Merrick Avenue and Broadcast Plaza has something for everyone, whether you’re a coffee aficionado, someone who needs caffeine to get you going, or a family looking for a hot chocolate treat on a cold winter day.
Hard Bean Coffee’s extensive menu of hot and iced coffee drinks are made from coffee beans sourced from Africa, South America, Asia, and other parts of the world. Java lovers have a choice of everything from classic freshly-brewed espressos, lattes, and cappuccinos, to cold brew, cafe au lait, and the decadent Hard Bean Fresh Frappe, featuring vanilla ice cream with Hard Bean's special blend of coffee and flavorings. Customize your drink with house flavors like caramel, almond, and peppermint. Hot chocolate, micro brewed teas, cream soda, and a range of fruit and vegetable blend smoothies are also on the menu.
Those seeking some sweet or savory goodies to pair with their beverages have a selection of baked goods to choose from, such as pastries, scones, croissants, and pretzel buns. Victor Kim, the owner of this independent coffee shop, is excited to bring Hard Bean Coffee to Merrick and said that hot sandwiches will be available within a few weeks.
Customers can relax and enjoy their drinks on comfy couches and tables or take their items to go before catching a train – this commuter-friendly location is right across from the Merrick LIRR station.
A grand opening is set for January 20, but Hard Bean Coffee has already started establishing itself as a local go-to favorite, garnering only positive online reviews praising not only its coffee, but also its friendly service and pricing.
Hard Bean Coffee is located at 15 Merrick Avenue in Merrick. Current hours are Monday through Friday, 5 a.m. - 8 p.m., Saturday and Sunday, 8 a.m. - 8 p.m. Reach them at (631) 304-6647 or visit the Hard Bean Coffee website or Facebook page for more information.
