Wheelchair accessible and the most inclusive, accessible to all people, disabled and non-disabled I have ever experienced.
Food was cheap plentiful and vegetarian friendly.
People who can afford to pay it forward are welcome to do so, providing free meals and coffee for those who cannot afford it.
The diversity of people, business professionals, un-homed and everyone in between all enjoying the company, noise food and energy of Merge will have me going back every chance I get. 💖

This beautiful space and cafe has been there for my son and I when we have been struggling whilst I dealt with life threatening health issues. I will forever be grateful for the staff and cafe for being there for us. God bless this place. The food is wholesome and delicious xx

For a non profit organisation, their menu is worthy of any customer...rich or poor. Most of the staff are volunteers with better customer service than those who are paid at other upmarket establishments. Kudos to everyone involved including the suppliers.

The lunch was very tasty and for the decent price of $4. The staff is really friendly but the best thing of this cafe is the purpose of helping homeless people. Yesterday one homeless person took the order from me - he was really helpful and did his job really well! Oh, and I paid with a card (in the description it's said cash only which is not true). I really appreciate the place and would definitely come back!
