    pistachio matcha
    Lena S.

    Tried the pistachio matcha at Merit Coffee while visiting Dallas and it honestly blew me away. It wasn't that fake, syrupy pistachio flavor. this actually tasted like real pistachios blended into a quality matcha. The flavor stuck with me in the best way, kind of like the lingering taste after eating actual pistachios. The color was beautiful too rich, vibrant green. Every time I'm in Dallas, this will always be a go-to. Just wish we had one in Houston. :( Also, shoutout to the staff for being so nice. While I was waiting, some girl swooped in and grabbed my drink (she probably had the same name as me and also ordered a Matcha lol). I let them know and they happily remade it for me with zero attitude. 10/10 for vibes and recovery.

    Fantastic coffee. For years I have purchased their beans and have always been impressed with the quality of them. Their coffee drinks in the store are just as good. We recently got an iced vanilla latte and loved it. We have tried other drinks like the strawberry matcha and were not quite as impressed. The quality of their coffee warrants them an easy 5 star review.

    Jalapeño cheddar kolache and cortado were solid. However as I was ordering, one of the baristas (dyed bright red/pink hair, heavily tattooed, glasses) loudly verbally abused the mild mannered cashier guy, saying "THAT is how you talk to me Josh!" He was visibly uncomfortable and she later tried to play it off as a joke. She proceeds to say "I know that MEN don't understand things like that." Nasty!

    After stumbling upon Merit coffee with my travel companion, who suffers from what one can only describe as merciless IBS, we decided to pop in and see what the situation was here. After one sip of our lavender oak milk latte (which tasted like poo-pouri) I naturally asked where my companion could find the nearest bathroom. The barista snarled at me that they didn't have a restroom. We had to run out like fugitives , which was especially annoying as I had rolled my ankle the day prior in a foot race against my neighbor. Nonetheless, my travel companion was left with trauma and my ankle still hurts. This experience was emotionally scarring. If you value access to a bathroom, go anywhere else. SIGNED BOSS & CEO

    Merit Coffee was great! We ventured to Dallas and had a bit of time to kill. The staff was helpful in navigating the menu and gave great descriptions of their offerings. Plenty of seats were filled by people working, but there were a few seats for us to savor the latte and cold brews we ordered.

    value AND drinkability ya'll.

    I'm a sucker for a fancy coffee shop that goes hard when it comes to supplying me with caffeine in a comfortable environment and I've gotta tell you this place is fancy as shit. They've got all the espresso shots and all the syrups and milk and milk alternatives etc. All of it. They have friendly people and a very clean and tidy area in which you can consume your beverage. They have oatmeal and cookies. If you're looking for some coffee, and you're discerning about what ends up in the cup...just go here and they'll take care of you. You'll love it. You. Will. Love. It.

    Such a cute coffee shop and loved the merch. Great service and good vibes. I was only in the shop for a few min but noticed a lot of people working so seemed like a good spot to sit for a while.

    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.

    Great location, lovely cafe, cozy seating, yet, staffs are w "I don't want to be here" vibe.

    Third day in a row of going to a Merit location instead of Starbucks. The coffee is consistently good and I am loving trying new flavors in the washed cold brew. The natural cold brew is also so good plain as it has such good natural flavors and aromas. Pop tart was so moist and flavorful. I will be trying more of the baked goods in the future.

I would happily eat either again without hesitation. Drinks: * 10 oz iced vanilla latte -- creamy, smooth, and made with quality-tasting beans. No complaints here. * 10 oz cappuccino (oat milk) -- tasty... but visually alarming. When the cappuccino arrived, it looked like it had been on a diet. A very strict one. I genuinely thought there had been a pouring mistake, so I politely asked at the counter. The response? "Yes, that's correct--it's supposed to be about 1 1/2 inches from the top." Reader, it was not 1 1/2 inches. It was more like "emotionally distant from the rim." I even slid the cup closer, hoping maybe perspective was playing tricks on me. Nope. Same answer. Same empty real estate at the top of the cup. Now, I understand cappuccinos aren't filled to the brim. I respect foam science. I honor espresso traditions. But this was bordering on half-cup energy at a full-cup price point. Photo included so you folks can be the judge

    Cafe Duro is a must when visiting the Lower Greenville area!…read more I recently visited this amazing European-style café during breakfast on a weekday and it was amazing. Please note that parking in this area is particularly difficult but if you come in the morning, it should be easier to find. Another thing worth nothing is that they are more of a quick standing coffee bar type of place and I definitely wouldn't recommend it for families or kids, so keep that in mind when visiting. Now to the food... They have a small but mighty menu for breakfast and lunch. For my first time I decided to try their The Monte Duro, which is a pastry style "hot pocket" with smoked prosciutto, mortadella, mustard and jam. For drink I decided to go with their Dirty Chai Latte. The drink was absolutely perfection and exactly what I needed in a warm Texas morning. The Monte Duro was cooked to perfection and packed with flavor! Both my friend and I ordered the same thing and we were both obsessed with it.

The staff is not really friendly but the vibes were still peaceful. Mushroom grilled cheese: This was so yummmy!! The bread comes perfectly crispy and buttery. There were tons of mushrooms and creamy flavor. By far one of the best grilled cheeses I ever had. Banana horchata matcha: This drink was very sweet and good for people that dont like bitter drinks. I loved the banana flavor and it reminded me of banana bread. There was also a lot of cinnamon in the drink which made it so tasty.
