When I was able to walk (3 years ago) I used to spend a lot of time here. Diane and her crew serve a mean coffee, good muffins (better than before), and Breakfast Sandwiches. I refer to these as B.S., and when I finished I'd say I was "Full of B.S." and for some reason the staff agreed with me.
In my experience, when you go into a shop that closes at 3:00, you can't expect oven-fresh donuts at 2:30, especially since they're not made on the premises. From my recent experience, the baked goods have improved considerably.
You have a choice in Merrimac. You can either go here (in the store or through the drive-through) and get friendly service, or you go to the local branch of a chain donut store and get the same old same old - if the disinterested teenage staff get your order right! My wife found that the chain store used to not only foul up her order, but even if that gave her what she asked for, the price would vary every time.
So if that treatment doesn't sound like fun to you, go to Common Grounds. Although it's well placed opposite the Senior Center, the place is busier than you might expect and has been since day one. I get B.S.s every weekend, and I really look forward to them. No relations with the business or the owners other than being a very satisfied customer. -

All I know is that they have good coffee but their donuts are hard and too sugary for my liking.

Food is very good and reasonably priced. Service was very good also. Don't look for anything fancy but for those of us looking for a solid basic coffee shop this is perfect.

This place is a hidden gem. The service is impeccable and the owners make you feel like family. BEST Grilled Cheese on a bagel I've ever had. Also a must try: The homemade chicken vegetable soup! And you can't leave without trying one (or a dozen) of their delicious donuts and pastries! Cannot say enough about this place, a must try!!

Good food and amazing, friendly service. This is the kind of coffee place I expect in a small town. I have used the drive through and sat in the restaurant to eat - and I always get excellent service.
The breakfast sandwiches and donuts are quite good. I have found some of the coffees to be a bit on the weak side (I drink it black) but I just get dark roast now.
Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area!
