The place has been around for years near the university and it is a good size coffee shop with a big inside and patio area. It's great for all things; studying, meeting up with friends or just a simple pick up. There's games to play with too if you want something to do with friends. Check out their socials for their market days. They also offer food and treats alongside with gelato. They won best cold treats! It's nice to have this coffee shop plus they have other locations.

Upon entering, you can feel the nice vibe of the store, with a kind of rustic feel. The floor really stands out, as it looks like tile at first glance, but I believe it's slab that is painted/printed with a neat pattern. My bride ordered the seasonal "Salty Bear", which she absolutely loved. There was a steady flow of customers coming through while we enjoyed our beverages. Played a couple rounds of Go Fish with the kiddos and then it was back to Houston we went. No better way to end our Corpus visit. Absolutely recommend.

Don't try to go right now. Give it a few months…read more 3 FAILED ATTEMPTS. 9 months pregnant and tried 3 different times to dine, each time with no honest transparency with wait times. I really wanted to keep loving Bien Mérité, but after three attempts, I'm extremely frustrated. Each visit has involved inaccurate and constantly changing wait times. My first attempt on 4/10 around 2pm in the afternoon. It was just me and my 15month old baby, there was only 2-3 tables occupied and I was told 45 minute wait with an almost empty dining room. I asked the hostess due to me being 9 months pregnant and having a toddler if I could just at least sit down while waiting the additional 45 mins and was told no. So I totted out my baby and myself, bought pastries and left. The second attempt I was quoted an hour , waiting the full hour and checked back in with the hostess stand only to be told it was going to be an additional hour, on top of what we already waited again. Third attempt (Sunday, April 26) waited a full hour, checked in once again with the hostess and was told it is now going to be another 90 minutes on top of once again the hour we already waited. I understand waits happen, but this level of inconsistency feels disorganized and disrespectful of customers' time--especially when expectations are set incorrectly from the start. I'm just asking for transparency and honesty here. It's disappointing because the space is beautiful and I've always supported this business but the waitlist management and homestead stand seriously needs improvement on honesty and management of times.

I decided to give it a try, and I'm so glad I did! The café is absolutely charming with a bright, cozy vibe that makes you want to sit back and enjoy your morning.

Even though the café was busy, the staff never seemed rushed. They were kind, welcoming, and made everyone feel taken care of. If you're in Corpus Christi, I'd definitely recommend stopping by for breakfast. Good food, great coffee, and a lovely atmosphere--I know I'll be back the next time I'm in town.
