Great place to pick up a chic outfit
by grierm
I like how Meringue is a boutique in Virginia Highland but they don't get a lot of one item. This keeps you from seeing girls in the same outfit.
Pros: accessible for walkers or drivers
Cons: pricepoint?

Best boutique in Va-Hi
by jnaleff
These gals have put together an amazing assortment of casual to cocktail and the accessories to go long with. I love the J Brand jeans, Alisha Levine dresses and Mickey Lynn jewelry. Staff is knowledgable and helpful which makes it that much more inviting!

Love it
by janesimon49634
Meringue has a comfortable, rustic atmosphere - the owners definitely pay attention to detail and styling, even in the dressing rooms. I'm grateful that Meringue has a return policy, as some boutiques do not, but on one occasion I recall feeling nearly shamed into keeping something that I intended to return. Regardless of whether an item doesn't fit the same way when you get home or if you realized you can't afford it, that feeling can be discouraging. Sometimes you just change your mind. I think the owners and saleswomen are very friendly, helpful, and let you shop in peace. I love Meringue and I will continue to go back.
Pros: attention to detail
Cons: a relatively new business still building up inventory

Great Highlands Spot
by egb365
Great spot in the Highlands! Meringue is the peferct mix of wearable clothing, cute shoes and accessories! The sales staff is always very helpful and I love that it is accessible with easy parking!
Pros: Mix of clothing, shoes and accesories

Great addition to Morningside
by Lee5545
Love the mix of clothes - some very polished, some very fun. Have always liked the shoes they carry as well. A bit pricey, but you'll find something unique. Seems like they don't buy a lot of one thing, which cuts both ways - can be frustrating, but also adds to the uniqueness factor if they still have your size in something you like.
Pros: Different lines that you don't see often
Cons: Pricey

Great mix of chic and casual clothes
by TheSantys
I love to see what this store stocks week-to-week as there are some really great finds that you don't see at other Atlanta boutiques. They have a great selection of jeans, fun and unique jewelry and just the right mix of casual, everyday clothing and chic items for evenings out. The store itself is set-up well and their displays draw you in from the street.
Pros: Unique finds that you don't see at other boutiques
Cons: Higher price point

Meringue has great clothes!
by cynthiatolbert
I have been impressed with Meringue botique since its opening. The buyers/owners have chosen fashion forward yet highly wearable clothes in lush fabrics and colors. The prices are generally quite reasonable and you will not "see yourself" at business meetings or parties. I have had a very hard time finding "business causual" clothing, and was impressed with the choices offered by the Meringue botique. Their dressier and more casual lines are impressive as well, and the staff is helpful and very friendly. In all, shopping at Merinque is a positive and rewarding experience.
Pros: Great styles for work or play

Great selection of super cute clothes
by atlantagirl
I moved from Brooklyn to Atlanta and was looking for a great place to shop that wasn't a large, overwhelming mall. Then I found Meringue - a small slice of shopping heaven. It has an impressive selection of some of my favorite brands, including jbrand jeans, and also has great accessories. The woman behind the counter (sandly, I can't remember her name) was extremely helpful and friendly.
While I didn't walk out with any clothes the first time I went, I still left with a nice pair of earrings.
Looking forward to going back.
Pros: Wide range of great designers
Cons: Item goes quickly, making it hard to find your size
Posted 05/16/09

Love this Morningside treasure!
by elladlyn
I love the selection at this great boutique. You can find one of a kind peices for an affordable price. The staff is very helpful and always patient! I have purchased several peices that have received compliments from my most stylish friends. It is a quick and easy stop when going to breakfast/ lunch at Alon's or going to the Farmer's market. A great addition to a great neighborhood.
Pros: Styles, prices, location, staff
Cons: smaller sizes sells out quickly

Finally an alternative to Mitzi's!
by Snobchick
I've been shopping in the Highlands for years and have seen many stores come and go but this boutique is truely unique! I hate going to the mall plus I love supporting local business however I was getting bored of the selection other stores in the Highlands had to offer then I found Meringue!
This boutique has now become part of my Alon's (its right accross the street) lunch routine. I can always find something and when I find too much they always offer to hold everything Ive pick out until I can come back and try it on (talk about customer service)! Friendly staff (they actually remember my name and past purchases) and its well organized and not overwhelming (very easy to shop) plus they have parking (so I can pop in and out quickly!) All around great place!!!
Pros: Affordable everyday fashion!
Cons: sell out fast but are willing to reorder your size

Young, hip, urban...and perfect for a 54 year old, too!
by amyd20
I live in Marietta (Ok East Cobb) and I'm 54. I love to shop intown because I like to wear very unique, kind of funky clothing and can find what I like in that part of Atlanta. I'm not a size 0 so I had little expectation that I would find anything that would fit me but a pair of earrings or a scarf. As I walked into the store, I felt a nice, airy feeling. My eye caught a darling skirt on a table and as I held my breath to see if they had it in my size...VOILA!...they did. Soon, I was handing lots of items to try on to Amanda (who is fabulously friendly and helpful). At the end of my shopping spree, I found many treasures like 2 tops and a skirt from Odd Molly, a pair of cropped pants from Sanctuary, and a very cool Black top and necklace. I was pleasantly surprised and Meringue will be among one of my favorite stores. After all, 54 isn't that old.
Pros: Exceptional customer service, unique styles, range of sizes
Cons: None

Cutest Clothes Ever!
by clotheshorse77
A delightful new boutique in the Morningside area. The owners have great taste and have filled the store with really delightful goodies. Lots of brands that I love. Fabulous cotton t-shirts and jeans. Darling jewelry as well. And, they are open seven days a week! Gotta love that. You must pay them a visit. Great new find!
Pros: Delightful Selection, Helpful Staff, Decent Prices
Cons: Limited large sizes

Beautiful Store
by jjtomlinson
I have enjoyed shopping at this store since it opened early fall. The store in gorgeous and filled with a great selection of clothing. You have to check out the unique jewelry too. I bought a fabulous turquoise and gold necklace there and get compliments every time I wear it. Go check out this new Virginia Highlands boutique...I promise you will not be disappointed!!!!!
Pros: Great selection
Cons: What are the drawbacks?

Great Clothes and great customer service!
by 654lover
I was visiting Alon's Bakery in Virginia Highlands when I noticed a new store front right across the way. "Meringue" it said. I was curious, so with my latte in hand, I walked in. From the moment I set eyes on the beautiful store, I was hooked. Not only is the store beautiful, the clothes are as well! I wanted to try everything on, I almost did. I took a pair of boyfriend jeans by Goldsign, a cute tank with a butterfly on it by Torn, an amazing white top with rosettes at the neck by Parameter, the Heartbreaker jean by JBrand, a floral sundress by Paul and Joe sister, and an amazing pair of coral patent flats by Bloch. Everything fit, and the customer service was amazing! So helpful! I went to Alon's for a latte and left with brand new additions to my spring wardrobe! You must go there yourself, you will see what I mean!
Pros: Ambiance, Parking right in front of the store, Customer Service, Clothing and accessory selection
Cons: The lighting in the fitting rooms, some items are expensive, only two fitting rooms

Great new boutique in Morningside
by mlj528
LOVE this new boutique. Awesome dresses and accessories. I live in Virginia Highlands and just discovered this boutique on the other side (Morningside across from Alon's). I found a great pair of jeans on sale, and they have some cute designer t-shirts too.
Pros: Parking no prob
Cons: Some designer items out of my price range, but they do have a great sales section
