Ziggy's by Analee

[Downeast]

For weeks the progress has been at a standstill on the chain coffee joint set to open near analee in meredith.

An excavator has been sitting on site for awhile.. piles of material.. partially built structure now dormant.. Anyone know the deal as to why things came to to a halt??

The place is just an oversized trailer, don't know why it's taking so long?

Nothing happening there at Ziggy's with building construction since maybe March or February? Does it even have a roof to keep the rain out?

From what I can tell, it has no roof yet. maybe some tarps to protect the structure.

def something's up, that a lot of $$$$ deteriorating. And the fact the excavator is just sitting there not transported to make money elsewhere is strange

They were doing a road cut for the water line yesterday and it was busy this morning with other thing going on.

....made a point to drive by there earlier today in the hope of trying them out. NOT. Backhoe still sitting there with piles of gravel all around. The structure is nowhere near being finished.

Looks like a 2024 opening

...most of the outside is complete...looks like some signage and some lighting remain. Appears to be lots of supplies inside. They even had a "hiring" sign in the parking lot a couple weeks ago.

I saw a Facebook post saying they were opening January 17th. Looking forward to trying it!

Sign outside says opening Tuesday.

Ziggi's Coffee just opened up for business on or about January 23, and is promoting a free Ziggy's "16-oz beverage of your choice" on Saturday, January 27th from 10-am to 2-pm.

Suggest that you google Ziggy's Coffee, Meredith NH, in Facebook to verify the authenticity of this message ....... ...... because no one believes anything, anymore! ...... ha-ha-ha ......

Something about that name ZIGGY'S seems like a very good name for a cup of totally excellent coffee, so go have one on me, Saturday, from 10-2!

After the months of anticipation, I was really hoping that this would be great new coffee/quick breakfast option. I unfortunately have to say that we are not fans.

I got a large hot coffee. After a few sips, I dumped it out. To my taste buds, the coffee was very "Starbucks-like"...very strong, even though it was the Medium Roast. (I know many folks love their Starbucks, but I'm not one of them).

We also discovered that the food is pre-packaged, so there is no customizing. Example: The menu board showed a Sausage, Egg, & Cheese on an Everything Bagel. My wife wanted Bacon, Egg, & Cheese on an Everything Bagel. When I asked for the Bacon, Egg, & Cheese on an Everything, the Ziggy's person replied that she couldn't do that, as the food is pre-packaged and they heat it up. She did say that we could get a Bacon, Egg, and Cheese on a Plain Bagel, however. We went with that, but it looked like a bagel sandwich out of an airport vending machine. My wife said that it wasn't horrible, but it wasn't particularly good, either.

We may give it another shot in the future to see if other things on the menu are any better, but we won't be in a rush.

Havent tried the food but like the Chai tea and staff is very nice

[MeredithMan]

...My wife says that she saw on the Meredith FB page that Ziggy's has now closed. It's unfortunate, as I hate to see people lose their jobs, and somebody put a lot of money into that drive thru, but based on my single visit there, they didn't have a very good product.

That's too bad. I tried it once also, wasn't a fan.
Maybe an "Aroma Joes" will go in there. They have a few in the area and seem to do very well.

Great minds think alike...we were just saying the same thing at lunch today. I've never tried Aroma Joe, but my daughter has gone there numerous times and says it is very good.

Tough for restaurants to make it through the off season until at least they build up a loyal base

I find starbucks coffee to be weak but everyone thinks it's strong because of it being bitter. In any case, terrible
