The Bastardized Coffee house is a cute cafe, and an interesting shop. Street parking out front, and…read morea few steps up to get in. There are not a lot of tables to eat at - only 3, with a few couches interspersed. The staff and patrons are friendly. We got there early today, and had time to look around before our friends got there. This gave us time to wait for a table, It gets busy in here, so ordering can take some time. However, the food was a while coming out. Our food came out well before our friends' food. However, the food was tasty when it did come out. Unfortunately, my eggs were a bit better done than I like them, but the meal was still edible, while we were eating and our friends were waiting for their food, the waitress admitted that they were short staffed by 2 people (you could really tell!) Later on, we heard they had run out of eggs. Although it is an interesting place, with an eclectic menu, and it's not next door for us, I would not be in a hurry to go back. I would give it one more chance, though, in a while, hoping they get their staffing issues sorted.

I had some work to do in Merrickville and decided to stop somewhere for lunch. The town is quite…read moresmall, where downtown is pretty much one street. I found the Village Bean Coffee place on Yelp and decided to give it a try. I opted for the soup and sandwich combo. Now, I usually don't eat bacon, but I don't know what came over me that day. I ordered the BLT and their soup of the day, which was corn chowder (full of bacon bits). The portion of both the sandwich and the soup were very generous. The combo with a san pellegrino can was about 13$, which is pretty decent. The soup was pretty good and so was the sandwich. The shop has cute local art on display on the walls and local papers on the tables to read while you're eating. Overall, it's a small town restaurant that is convenient and pretty quick service. If you're in town, you should stop by this place for a nice small town feel.

The food is extremely good. Lots of fresh baked goods, delicious soups and way better than most sandwiches. It's probably the best place for lunch in Merrickville. The only drawback that I experienced and it's no fault of the cafe, is that you can smell the perfume from the scented candle/lotion shop down the hall in the same building. When I walked in I was confused because I thought they had been burning incense but then I figured it out. They do have an outdoor patio also.

Also looking at their seasonal drinks my wife and I knew we needed to stop in. Plenty of street parking available right nearby so unless they are super busy you should be good. Once you walk in they had a board sign with all the seasonal specials. It was quite a large space with a good amount of seating with some more comfy seating like the couch and then plenty of tables too. Near where you order they have a baked good display with the daily offerings from a I suspect local bakery. They do appear to offer breakfast sandwiches but only on the weekend. Baked goods wise my wife grabbed a blueberry muffin and I grabbed some sort of apple cinnamon roll. Drink wise my wife got their Pumpkin S'more Steamer and I got the Loganberry Cobbler Cold Brew. My cinnamon roll was delicious, while my wife's muffin was not that great and didn't taste that fresh unfortunately. Drink wise both were phenomenal! My wife's even came topped with a homemade marshmallow and my had a great amount of flavor of a fruit that I am not use to seeing (popular in this area though and I can see why). Besides seasonal they also have all the drinks you'd expect from a coffee shop. Absolute no brainer to stop here if you are from the Potsdam area or visiting or even traveling through. If I were local to the area this would be my go to coffee shop!
