I love that their…read morecoffee isn't too bitter- it tastes smooth and sweet, yet it still has a distinct coffee taste. I also buy their bags and use it at home in my Keurig (they ground the beans for me if I ask). I also loveee their pastries. The strawberry pop tart and the kolache is great. Their merch is really cool. Just know that this location has very little seating space.

Merit Coffee is one of those places that just gets it right every single time…read more No matter what seasonal drinks they roll out -- and they always have something fun and creative -- my husband sticks with their classic black cold brew, and it never disappoints. Smooth, bold, perfectly balanced... it's become his non-negotiable order, and honestly, I get it. I don't usually grab anything from the bakery case, but everything always looks so fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented that it's tempting every visit. You can tell they take pride in what they offer. Circle is consistently friendly and welcoming, which makes the whole experience even better. It's the kind of service that feels genuine and makes you look forward to coming back. Whenever I'm in the area, Merit Coffee is an automatic stop -- great drinks, great people, great vibes. Always a highlight! P.S. There's always folks working here, so it must be a popular spot to answer a few emails.

Lovely customer service and space! I was in the Addison area and wanted to try a new local spot for…read morematcha and discovered Local Jonny's on Yelp. It's located inside of a retail strip/courtyard. It was high noon and HOT so I was excited for a cool drink. The staff were sweet. You could tell they loved their jobs. Upon entering I noted their fridge with options to purchase milks and other small grocery finds. My absolute favorite part of the cafe was their prayer wall where patrons left all kinds of prayer requests. I got teary eyed reading the vulnerability and pleas from those needing prayers. It was beautiful! I ordered the banana and blueberry iced matchas with cold foam, both half sweet. I think I'll try them again with their full sweet option and see if I could taste the flavors better. Not going to dock them though, it was my choice to modify.

This place is absolutely adorable and a great spot to hang out or get some work done…read more Parking was ample, which is always a win. Getting inside was a tiny bit confusing since it's part of a larger complex and not immediately obvious where to go, but once I figured it out, everything was smooth sailing. The staff was friendly and respectful, and service was impressively fast. My mom and I stepped outside for literally a minute after ordering, and when we came back, our drinks were already ready. That said, it did taste a bit like a rush order. Drinks: * Coffee: solid and enjoyable--no complaints there. * Matcha: unfortunately mediocre. Dallas isn't exactly a matcha city, and this one confirmed it. Very lip-smacking and not something I'd order again. Vibe: Where this place really shines. Super cute ambiance, great music playing, and a warm, inviting atmosphere. There were plenty of people working behind the counter--even during a slower moment--so it feels like they could easily handle a crowd. Food: Didn't try it this time, but everything looked great and there was a nice variety. Overall, I'd 100% come back, especially to work or relax. I'd just skip the matcha next time and stick to coffee. Fantastic ambiance, good service, and a space that makes you want to stay awhile

Stopped by for an event and ordered the mango sticky rice matcha since I love the traditional mango…read moresticky rice dessert. If you're someone who finds traditional matcha a little too strong or grassy, this is a great option. It was lighter, fruit-forward, and the mango flavor came through nicely. The pastry case also caught my attention--everything looked fresh and incredibly tempting. I didn't get a chance to try any this visit, so I'm looking forward to trying some of the pastries next time. Overall, a nice spot for a lighter matcha drink and worth checking out if you're looking for something a little different. Staff was sweet and organized as they were a bit busy.

Trisha took my order and was super awesome at making many great recommendations while Miriam cranked the beverages for the people ahead of me. Loved the GF option for an almond loaf. This reminds me of a wonderful home cafe mixed with a nice southern coffee shop. They even have seating outside for a beautiful day like the day I went. Very Austin vibes. Seating options are from regular wood bench to a cozy couch. Loved the live plants that add fresh air and a nice atmosphere. They had low playing music that was very urban so you can carry a conversation while supporting smaller artists and working on work. Headphones if you'd like your own music would be great and wouldn't be interrupted with the music playing in the shop. Biscoff caramel latte: Wonderful flavor of coffee. I was fearful it'd be too sweet but it was perfectly sweetened. The Biscoff crumbles add the Biscoff flavor and the caramel isn't overpowering. It's a soft balance of the two together. The foam was pleasant and would recommend hot. Personally would love a stronger Biscoff flavor cause Biscoff is my favorite cracker. But other than that, a super solid beverage. Almond Loaf (GF): The crumble and moist texture were perfect. Not too crazy of a GF taste. Different but wonderful. The top has a crumble similar to Almond croissant that is so satisfying if you're craving a lil more sweet with your bite. Together: Wonderful together. The almond loaf isn't dense but it doesn't completely fall apart either. Super happy.

The meat pies and sweets are simply to die for. Eating their food brings me back to a time long since gone. I don't get much Australian food and this place makes me feel like I'm back in Australia. To Lui and Angie I love you guys (even if you're both banana benders!) thanks for bringing a small piece of Down Under to Texas.

I HAVE NEVER BEEN TO AUSTRALIA, BUT NOW I FEEL LIKE I HAVE!…read more The sausage roll was delicious -- flaky, warm, and comforting. The coffee was wonderful. But more than that, it was the atmosphere. The SERVICE, the calm vibe, the R&B playing in the background -- it just felt like a blessing. Sometimes lunch is more than food. It's peace. If you're near Farmers Branch/Addison, I highly recommend stopping by.

This spot was very difficult to find and felt pretty out of the way for us. There isn't much…read morecivilization nearby--mostly furniture stores and industrial vibes--so it's not somewhere you'd just stumble upon. That said, once we arrived, it was absolutely packed to the brim. Every table was full, including a private conference room, and the space itself isn't small at all. I imagine it's a bit easier to find seating when the weather is nicer, but today was freezing, which made their six outdoor tables completely unusable. My mom ordered the chocolate croissant and said it was the best she's had at any coffee shop I've taken her to. We had it warmed, and it was incredibly rich and indulgent. The coffee was fine--nothing memorable--but the matcha was to die for. They had about six people working in a very small space, and despite that, service held up well considering how busy it was. The crowd skewed younger, with lots of people posted up working for long stretches. Definitely a long-haul seating kind of place. The vibe was great: louder music, energetic atmosphere, and it somehow all worked. There's also a stuffy (quiet) room available for rent if you need it. Matcha rating: 8/10. Second best matcha I've had in Dallas so far--better than La La Land, but still not topping Tried & True Stellar, which remains my #1. This place has real character--very local, very lived-in. I'd come back 100%, probably earlier in the day to snag better seating, since once people sit down here, they really settle in.

Amazing coffee spot in a cool Walnut Hill complex…read more I like the vibe here and their coffee is always on point. I've only been during the day and always spend a little time working before a coffee meeting. The WiFi is always good and the coffee is great. The ambiance is very open and inviting as well. They serve small bites as well but I haven't really partaken. Additionally, I think they have several beers on tap and they appear to all be cool local brews. If you're looking for a good local coffee shop with a vibe, this may be your new spot!!

I don't want to get into the details of this place, or their "values" but as someone who hasn't ever rated a church let alone a church cafe I'm telling you don't. Not if you're single. Not if you have kids. Just don't. You can think whatever you want from what I'm saying. Theres specific things that I've never heard full time employees say and then say they don't want their spouses to say. There are specific things that I've heard have happened in "Celebrate Recovery" that I've never heard as acceptable and definitely not legal that this church allows. I'm going to leave it at just simply "don't". Theres no way that if I had kids that I'd allow them to go into this church. Theres no misunderstanding. There is no exaggeration. Theres literal words that the leadership has said that they openly said they don't want their spouse to hear about. This isn't holier than though. This is "someone said the quiet part out loud... and it's not only pervy.... I don't want other people to see me with them if this is what they are hiding".
