Merridee's Breadbasket

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.

Midweek lunch plans? We just made them easy. 🤍

Our Reuben is piled high with corned beef, melty Swiss, tangy sauerkraut, and grilled to golden perfection. Pair it with a sweet tea, grab a seat downtown, and let lunch do the heavy lifting today.

Well butter my biscuit, Monday showed up again. 🤍☕️

Rise and shine, y’all. There’s just something about two sunny-side-up eggs, crispy sausage, homemade toast, and a fresh cup of coffee that makes the week feel a little sweeter. Pull up a chair, take a breath, and let us handle breakfast this morning.

See y’all in downtown Franklin. 🍳✨

🍎☀️ Thursday called… and she said pie on the patio sounds like a good idea. ☀️🍎

This Apple Streusel is giving small-town summer, front porch gossip, and “just one more bite” energy. Warm cinnamon apples, buttery crumble, flaky crust… basically the dessert version of a slow summer afternoon in Tennessee. 🤍

Whether you’re grabbing a slice after lunch or bringing home a whole pie for the weekend, trust us — this one disappears fast.

And friendly little reminder, y’all:
✨ Summer gatherings, brunches, and catering orders are in full swing, so don’t wait until the last minute to get those orders in.

✨ Order online through our stories
✨ Patio weather + pie season = the perfect combo
