Wed Dec 12, 2007. Nashua Telegraph Table for Two review...
Merrimack cafe "Rizes" above chains.
"...A lot of small, independent coffeehouses have come and gone, but Hot Rize Cafe in Merrimack has been a popular spot since it opened in 1993...  for any small coffee place to stay alive for four days, never mind 14 years when the big boys Dunkin' Donuts and Starbucks are obiquitous, something must be right...  the atmosphere is really cozy and warm...  the whole vibe is "We're all family here. WE all live in New England where the cold weather begs for a clean well-lighted place with hot coffee, hearty sandwiches and good music''...
