Merit Coffee

Coffee was excellent! I had a caramel latte and it was made just right! The staff at this location is top notch! There was a long line, but they moved it very quickly!

It's convenient for me. Pricing is a little steep, but support local. The cereal cold milk is no, everything else is a yes. The tacos are mushy so just pass, but pastries are yummy. Service is nice, but if busy, the line can get long. They have a rewards program, worth it if you go enough.

I really enjoyed this place and find myself coming back. The lavender latte was perfect! I didn’t try their food but next time maybe! Wifi worked well, temp was not too cold (as most coffee shops) and music wasn’t too loud either!

Such a great place! I asked the barista for her recommendation and she recommended the strawberry matcha. I’m pretty picky with my matcha drinks but this one was amazing! The matcha was fresh and high quality. The strawberries were sweet but didn’t taste super artificial.
The price was good for the size of the drink as well! I believe I got a 16 oz for a little over $6 which seems like an average price but larger size so I’m happy with it!
I’m very excited to come back here!

I like this place. It’s very narrow and has limited seating, but I love how the seats are basically organized into “pods” or “nests” — perfect for working. When I was here on a weekday around 12 pm noon, most “nests” were full but the volume was very quiet. Mostly people WFHing.

I didn’t like that the bathrooms were only accessible from the outside.

I loved the Ginger and Turmeric hot tea and it was delivered on a lovely tea tray with a cute little teapot.

I love Merit. I’ve been to this Highland location and Deep Ellum and they’re both great shops. Always seamless check out process. Great options on coffee (beans and to drink), merch, coffee tools and delicious food! The fact that they source and roast their own beans makes them so much better than a lot of coffee shops imo. They are easily one of my favorites. So, if you’re new in town or wanting to try local — go to Merit Coffee Co.

P.s I usually spend over $50 because I get coffee beans, drinks and usually pastries. If you get 1-2 coffees you’re looking at anywhere from $5-10.

Good place for working ( 10 down and 10 up internet speeds). Chairs are okay. Parking in the front and back just fine.

The matcha strawberry drink was quite tasty, the strawberries light and very freshly done as far as I can tell. Not artificial tasting. Props to the matcha for not being super chalky. Oat milk is $1 upcharge, same goes for other alternative milks. Total being $8 and change after tip.

Their drip coffee is actually one of the better ones out there for sure, I normally do not go for drip, but it did a good job. I can't describe it much tho.

Pop Tart was AMAZING. FLAKY warm and perfectly sweet. $4.

Other than the poptart, I would not go back but its a decent place if its close to you to try. I believe the rest rooms are in the outside of the building so you may need to ask for access codes fyi.

I would agree with the sentiment here that the drinks here are not as good as they look. They are definitely pretty visually, but the actual taste is just.. boring?

I had to add a packet of the sugar because their "features" matcha strawberry drink was pretty bitter , and honestly undrinkable until i added sugar.

Now, I'm sure some people do genuinely enjoy it that way, but I would think for a featured drink it would be more mass appealing.

The price itself is high, but no higher than Starbucks or any other coffee shop being around $5-7 a drink depending on what you get and what size.
