For Merri McDonald very good coffee is just part of a very good day. Merri knows two powerful things: how to make the best espressos and bring smiles to weary faces. Hard working, committed, and willing to give up her own resources to believe in her dream—Merri opened the Garden Espresso and Gift store. Situated on a pristine spot along scenic Highway 101, Merri greets every traveler with a smile, encouragement, and the best coffee around. Even if the day isn’t perfect, Merri delivers a perfect beverage in a heavenly spot. Like a good friend, coffee can warm the inside and help things begin the feel a bit better. And when it’s brewed by Merri, it also comes with a smile, a heart of love, and God’s blessings.
