About us
Meridian Coffeehouse is the student run coffeehouse of the College of William and Mary, and is open each night from seven to midnight. Those who have two quarters to rub together can come have a coffee, bum a cigarette, and share a great conversation during their copious social time.
The Meridian is for the elegant ones, those who have read the warnings, who pretend to know twelve tone, who half-heartedly kill cockroaches, who found a past worth mentioning, who aren't quite willing to starve. We savor the simple expression of the complex thought.

A History of the Meridian
The Meridian Coffeehouse was originally built in 5000 B.C. during the Neolithic period in Mesopotamia. It was buried in
an asteroid storm where it remained for thousands of years before being unearthed by early Celtic tribes. Though its treasures
brought them much fortune and wealth, the tribes were wiped out in the Plague of Justinian, and the coffeehouse was lost.
The Meridian became legend, referred to by many names, including Shangri La, El Dorado, and Atlantis. Many thought it to be
only myth, but in the 1600s the Meridian Coffeehouse was rediscovered by an escaped motorcycle chain gang in Australia. Fearing
capture by the evil Queen of England who believed the Meridian held the secret to eternal youth, they fled to Williamsburg and
invented a cloaking device to disguise the coffeehouse as some more colonial bullshit.
The current Meridian staff members are direct descendants from that motorcycle chain gang. They have maintained the cloaking device
and protected the secrets of the coffeehouse despite famine, disease, and war. But the evil Queen of England is hot on the trail,
coming to Williamsburg to search in person just last year, and the staff must remain ever vigilant.
