I genuinely kid you not the Golden Monkey Matcha that i had today was probably one of the best matchas i've had in such a long time. Like its a good mix of sweet and distinct flavor that it genuinely makes me want to come back again but sadly im not a local. If you're in the area, you should definitely come to try out the drinks here. Also the guy barista with glasses has some quality music tastes and knows how to make a great matcha read more

Updated review: recently tried their seasonal drinks: and 5 stars to Cranberry Matcha and Salted Honey Rosemary latte. Cranberry Matcha is such an interesting and unique flavor. There's good balance of matcha and cranberry taste. Tried it iced, tasted perfect. Salted Honey Rosemary Latte: very interesting and delicious. Came back for seconds on both drinks. Also love their cafe, it's nice and spacious. Great service. Definitely give it a shot. read more

Asip Coffee Roasters - Seasonal drinks - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Merced, California

Plenty of parking available. Interior design and ambiance are nice and clean. It's quiet on weekday afternoon, perfect place to relax, study, or hang out. They offer seasonal and special drinks on the menu, many great options to choose from. Barista is friendly. Tried Raw coconut latte - only available in cold, it was delicious. Personally I think $7 and up for a coffee is a bit overpriced in Merced. Plus, they charge an additional $1.10 for substituting oat/soy/almond/coconut milk. If I'm in the area again, I would return and try other drinks. read more

Asip Coffee Roasters - Menu as of 11/14/25 - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Merced, California

Was in town visiting a friend and wanted to visit a local coffee shop. A few of Asip's location was on my list. Interior is open and beautiful. Came in on a modestly warm, sunny afternoon. The cafe was filled up with people sitting, working, or hanging out with their friends. They are dog friendly as I saw a bonded pair, very calm and just observing their environment. That's a win for me. The menu was straightforward and a case full of pastries that looked delicious. My order was an iced Rose Latte with oat milk. The barista working (there was only 1) didn't seem friendly or welcoming. I think he was tired, a bit unhappy and over with the day already even though it was barely 2pm. Waiting took awhile but since it was only 1 person working (taking orders, making the orders), it was understandable. The rose latte came out so pretty. Although, I think it was overfilled with too much ice since some spilled over on the counter and as I was walking my drink back to the table. I was leaving a trail of coffee on the way! Besides that, the coffee was good. There was not much of a floral rose flavor. It was subtle. Overall the coffee was delicious, had a bit of brown sugar tasting notes but I'm unsure. Still refreshing otherwise for an afternoon pick-me-up. read more

I would recommend only coming for drinks. We ordered a breakfast sandwich and the sliders with bacon and the bacon was a small portion and it was mostly fat that you could barely chew. Waited 30 mins for food and got our drinks super early they were watered down by the time we got our food. read more

Back again with another 10/10 review. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere, the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, and the friendliest staff. The matcha cream latte is the best I've had....espresso shot + matcha = heaven. The space itself is cozy yet modern, making it the perfect spot to work or catch up with friends! Can't wait to come back.....again & again! read more

The Mexican Mocha is my absolute favorite, such a good twist on a classic! The service is always prompt as well as the wait time on the drinks. The space is large with plenty of seating options from table spaces to couches. read more

Cute coffee place located in North Merced. We stopped in because I love trying non franchise coffee places. We got macaroons which were soft and tasty. Salted Caramel was delicious. I ordered a Mexican mocha with almond milk and two macaroons was almost $15. We sat and I thought hmm I don't know if my coffee is done I look over and see it sitting there in the counter. It wasn't busy and I thought they would say hey your coffee is ready. The coffee was good just a tad bit expensive for a small coffee. read more

Such a cute, well-lit cafe! I'm always excited to try coffee shops that aren't just another Starbucks, and Asip never disappoints. Located conveniently in the Raley's plaza, you can grab a coffee and do your grocery shopping, or you can be like me and grab some cold brew after your morning workout (In-Shape is a quick walk away). The staff here are very pleasant and the shop is always packed with folks hanging out, studying, or enjoying their coffee. I usually get a black cold brew, but when I want something sweet, the Honey Lavendar Latte hits! They also pastries available if you wanna munch on something, as well as a shelf of really cute merchandise (tumblrs, mugs, apparel) for purchase. Come check it out and have Asip! read more

Been coming here for years and even when it used to be downtown. Service and drink quality has gotten really hit or miss. I feel like there was a change in staff. If you get the dude with glasses who has been here forever, you are in great shape. The drink will legit be amazing. Most anyone else is either good or fine. There is a new young man with nail polish and he is kinda slow or the quality of the drinks is just, bad, frankly. The ambiance and atmosphere is great. Very much not the sterile corporate way Starbucks has become in so many places. read more

ASIP serves a mean cup of joe (and some tasty matcha!). Conveniently located in the shopping center on the corner of G St and Yosemite Avenue in the Plaza of Raley's, you'll find this awesome coffee shop. Parking is super easy, since it's in a shopping center! Came for grand opening and the turnout was awesome! I can tell this place is well-loved and for good reason. Even with all the people, service was so incredibly friendly. They managed the line well, took orders with such awesome attitudes, and made the drinks so fast! I got a matcha latte with rose syrup and it was delicious! The rose syrup was a perfect touch to some high-quality matcha. My boyfriend got a Mexican mocha and said it was one of the best Mexican mochas he's ever had! If you're in Merced and not going to ASIP... WYD? read more

We haven't been in town for a few years. We really enjoyed the new location. David and Luna were very personable and we enjoyed chatting with them while we were waiting for our pour over coffee. The coffee was really enjoyable. We also ordered a blueberry lemon muffin with some kind of lemon filling. It was excellent! We didn't try it till we got about 15 minutes down the road or we would've gotten back and got another one. We will definitely be stopping by here again at our next trip. read more

I absolutely love this little gem in my hometown! The coffee is always a 10/10, and the service has gotten so much better over time. Not to toot their horn, but the matcha here is honestly the BEST I've ever had--and I order matcha everywhere I travel. This spot has truly become my go-to for a delicious beverage read more

So, I love this place very much. I can't talk much about the drinks here because all i get is the white mocha regular milk every time I come. What I can say about this though is that they are very consistent when it comes to making my drink good. Most places lack consistency and I can say they are not a place that lacks this. I also get their pastries the croissant, nutella croissant and the blueberry scone. All are very delicious especially the nutella croissant now that one is fire. The workers are great and so is the vibe of the restaurant. They are always nice and greeting you happily. They also keep this place very nice and clean. The music is also cool but most people here have their headphones in so that doesn't seem to be a concern for most. Very nice place to do HW or just come chill with your friends and drink coffee. + A student discount when you show your card read more

My bf and I were in the area and we were originally going to get boba but saw this little coffee shop instead and decided to go here instead. The staff here at Asip were very friendly and welcoming, they were pretty fast with making the drinks too! This place also looks like an amazing place to study at too! I got the ube matcha latte, if you have a sweet tooth this drink might be for you! My bf got the rose latte and it had a rich and flavorful taste. We're definitely coming back here again! read more

Nice ambience. Bad black tea. Watered down. Couldn't add anything really/no changes. And cost about $3.00 more than Starbucks and I got less. Hated that I got water, less and no added syrups. How do these young kids pay for their stuff? I coulda made this at home for 50 cents. Paid $7.55. Starbucks is $5 for twice the size, strong, and I could add flavors and ice is even included lol read more

Asip Coffee Roasters - This is their largest size. You shouldn't be able to see through it. Watered down. No ice. - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Merced, California

I'm waiting for my coffee for 45 minutes plus now. This is really unacceptable. Especially when we could have went to Starbucks across the street. Communication here would have helped if they knew it would take them this long and if we were willing to wait for our coffee. Please take this message and change what needs to be for your company. Respectfully, Trang The ambiance seemed very stressful since there was one barista taking orders, making drinks while the other person working is in the office not even acknowledging her conworker was clearly overwhelmed. We spent 35 dollars for coffee and was not happy with our experience. The place looks super cute but I will not be coming back read more

Exceptional service every time! I've been here a handful of times and definitely prefer a small coffee shop over a huge corporation. Their coffee is so much more tasty and strong. I've gotten their golden monkey, rose and some of their seasonal items and I've never been disappointed. I have also tried their strudel and ores cake. 10/10 so yum! I did wish they served more breakfast items like bagels and sandwiches but they will always have my support. read more

Fantastic coffee. As someone not from Merced, I wasn't expecting a small-batch speciality coffee roaster. But, the growing third wave proved me wrong yet again -- and what a wonderful store. Beautiful decor, kind and welcoming baristas, and excellent coffee roasts. I got my usual Cortado and loved it. Worth the visit! read more

If you want good, I mean--GOOD, authentic coffee brewed the righteous way without a dozen additives & flavours--coffee in its purest form! Starbucks/Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf/Peet's ain't got nothing on ASIP! Be prepared for strong, bold flavours without adornments. read more

Asip Coffee Roasters - Almond milk cappuccino & pistachio macaron. - Coffee Roasteries Near Me - Merced, California

Ambience is great. Service is kind. But the price of tea, brewed from a bag served in a paper cup is absurd. The matcha is pres-sweetened which is awful for people watching their sugar intake and trying to get healthy drinks. The deserts are hit and miss: the macarons are always good; but the cake I ordered today, also at an exorbitant price, was not good. Perhaps the coffee is worth the stop. read more

First time here was good but upon returning for same drink i was disappointed to find out it was not even close to as good as first one was and a 3rd time proved to be same. Wish the drink consistency was better here read more

Asip has the potential to be a great coffee shop. The coffee is the best coffee in Merced. HOWEVER, the service is SO slow. The workers do not hustle and take their sweet time. I feel bad for the owners because they could be generating even more revenue if they trained their staff to be faster. It took 10 minutes for an ice coffee!! There's one staff who is an Asian girl with glasses and she was so fast. If every staff was like her then this coffee shop would be perfect. Asip owners- PLEASE work on your business operations!! You have so much potential if you just speed up your service!! It's just coffee read more

Everyone needs to come here! Stopped in on my way to a job interview- ambience is amazing, ordered the honey lavender iced coffee and white chocolate raspberry scone (warmed up). All delicious.

You know I really love this cafe. They serve delicious coffee and offer a unique vibe. Seriously, the vibes go crazy in this place. The staff know how to make delicious coffee too. You know how some places make watery coffee, not this place. You're going to get what you asked for every single time. I guess that the price you pay for high quality coffee. It's very pricey. My go to is the Matcha Latte, hot or iced. Depending on my mood and time of day. They'll serve it to you in nice cup with a saucer underneath if you're getting it for there but don't worry they have to go cups as well. Now, this place is next to a grocery store and other fine establishments so be ready to find parking. Recommend read more
