Cute location! This is the second merit I've been to, they have plenty of seating indoors and outdoors at this location as well. Great coffee, I like the hot lavender latte and during the holidays they had fun seasonal drinks. Fun merchandise for sale also. Tiny parking lot and a busy location, but good service and they're quick with the drinks! read more

Really nice vibe overall, Great spot to hang out or catch up. The coffee itself is vibrant and full of flavor. The staff was friendly and welcoming, which always makes a difference. A couple things to note: it's pretty cold inside, so maybe bring a layer, and the outdoor seating is a bit limited. Lots of chairs but only a few tables Nice coffee stop if you're in the area! read more

Merit Coffee - Inside - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I did not try any food. Just had coffee. They did have a frozen Cold brew that I'm interested in trying next time. The service was great and friendly. The ambiance was good. I went on a Saturday afternoon found it to be a coffee shop where folks come to hang out, catch up not read a book . It was a little loud. The doors kept banging each time someone walked in or out. Nothing wrong with the location, it may just be the time I went. I would still recommend you go check it out. read more

This is my favorite Merit Coffee location in town! There is a lot of seating for studying or working, lots of natural light, and a very cool atmosphere inside. It is also open through to the Trek bike store which is neat! The service is lovely and as always the coffees are incredible. They have great seasonal flavors in addition to the standard menu. read more

I've been to numerous Merit locations- from the medical center to the airport, and this location is in the best spot in SA. I love Broadway and feel it's home to some of the best businesses in the city. This spot is cool in particular because it's connected to a bike shop! Merit also allows dogs inside which many people take advantage of at this spot. This is a pretty crowded location given how central it is, and it was more messy than other locations. They were also out of several food items when we came in the late morning. My coffee was great though, and we still managed to get a table! read more

The bathrooms were gender neutral, love that! They were also super clean and well kept. The staff was helpful and friendly when asking questions about the menu. The drinks came out fast but there was no where to sit. No big deal just packed so that's a good thing! read more

Merit Coffee - Cereal milk And cherry blossom matcha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

Prices are decent- and I do like their speciality coffees. Baristas are polite and honestly I get that they're never overly chatty, they're busy. Parking is pretty plentiful- but it can get very packed. It's a good study spot but spots are pretty limited and people can really stick around for a bit. read more

Love the place plenty of seating. The whole counter thing with the coffee calling is weird. But overall great place to have coffee, meetings, or do a little work while enjoying a good cup of coffee. read more

Awesome coffee shop. They're espresso always tastes fresh and I love the variety of beans they have/use so you're always getting tasty coffee read more

We were recommended this coffee shop by a San Antonio local! That's always a good sign. As you can tell there were so many people on this cold day in Texas. The temps were in the low 20s so it was a nice way to escape the chill. There's plenty of space to camp out and finish some work. We didn't try any food but there was a bunch of fresh products like yogurt and bakery items. read more

It's always crowded here! I don't drink coffee, but I enjoyed my chai latte. One thing people don't know about this place is that they serve Bakery Lorraine pastries (including their famous pop-tarts) and breakfast tacos from Chilaquil (in the Food Hall of Pearl). Sadly, they were out of potato, egg, and cheese, but I had a potato, chorizo, and cheese taco that tasted like fluffy, flavored mashed potatoes inside a soft flour tortilla. read more

Good coffee but rude & dry baristas the handful of times I've gone. Sounds like many have had the same experience so atleast I know it's not just me. It's a shame because I'd rather support a small business down the street from me than the Starbucks but atleast they are friendly! read more

I've never been to a coffee house that "can't do coffee drinks with steamed milk" Then you're not a coffee house. I can get morning blend coffee from CIRCLE K. And if your one machine broke down it's time to have a backup for situations like that. read more

Tried this place for the first time today. We were impressed. There was plenty of seating and plenty of parking. I got the strawberry matcha and my wife got the cereal milk latte. We both really enjoyed them. We also got the peanut butter cookie warmed up which was amazinggggg and the lemon loaf which was excellent too. The workers were friendly. There was a constant flow of people coming in and out. It would be a good place to come and do some work or just to chat with friends. It's also connected to a bike shop, which is pretty neat. You can just walk into the bike shop from the coffee shop and look around. read more

THE BIG: Located right out of security for the Terminal A of San Antonio's airport. Few seats available but mainly order and go. THE BLACK AND WHITE: Lines are so long but since there isn't other options around and I needed my caffeine fix, this was the only option. Line went relatively fast, was in and out in 15 minutes. But then again I was just ordering a black coffee no cream or sugar. THE FINAL BAMBOO: $3.30 for a medium house coffee. A few tables to sit down and sip your joe but the airport has plenty of seats if you can't find one inside Merit Coffee. read more

Nice location with a good atmosphere. But very expensive. Later realized that they charged me $4.28 for a single espresso! I guess you pay double if it's not takeaway (no service of course). read more

Really great experience here! We got a specialty seasonal latte and a chai latte, along with one of their vegan baked goods they source from a local vegan bakery. Both drinks were really flavorful, although we needed to mix the iced chai latte a bit to get the flavors balanced a bit better but once they were it was great. We did an orange cranberry scone and it was absolutely amazing! The baristas offered to warm it up which made it even better. We went on a Sunday and it was very busy, but we were able to snag the last open table and enjoy. Lots of people were there reading, working, and relaxing. It seems like a popular spot to get some work done at, as well as for a coffee date. Highly recommend! read more

Staff was rude and slow. The pour over coffee tasted like hot water. Bean quality was very poor--improperly roasted.

Food: A small but thoughtful menu of pastries, sandwiches, and vegan options. Their almond croissant was flaky perfection. Service: Friendly and efficient. The baristas are knowledgeable and happy to recommend drinks based on your preferences. Seating: Limited but comfortable read more

Coffee and pastries were delicious!! Service wasn't bad but wasn't the most inviting either!! I love a good inviting coffee shop to get my weekend started off right so probably won't stop in too often. That's just my personal preference, but like I said their coffee and pastries were really really great!! read more

The quality for the matcha is mid I don't even wanna go back for the coffee they're charging more than Starbucks. The matcha was grainy and it tastes watery must be premade I thought it would be legit. With a croissant which was good but 14$ for both? This isn't Atx lol. it's always packed I mean if ur a rich white local this is ur spot. read more

Loved the latte, the ability to fit my group of seven, it was a beautiful day out so the seating outside was perfect, the design of the coffees everyone loved, they fill your cups to the brim, the service is quick and kind, they even allow dogs so that was pretty great seeing as we had someone bring Morgan (pup) it was a great Saturday morning after a morning walk with the small group. read more

Ordered a large chai tea latte. I found it to be on the pricy side for the size of the large cup. Their chai is more spicy than Starbucks. You can select for an up charge whether you want to add a flavor to it. I had a regular chai tea. Kaela worked at a good pace to turn out the orders. It was a little more than warm, however not super hot. Strange on the suggested gratuity on the receipt isn't correct. It rang up correctly however at the Jetton you will see what I am talking about. They have food items however I can't comment on that. read more

Merit is always in my coffee shop rotation. They have great regular selections and seasonal limited offerings. After I ordered a pour over, I discovered they had just released a subzero frozen coffee (only location to have it) and I'm looking forward to trying that next time! Sounds like a perfect match for this crazy heat right now. They're always helpful with selections or accommodations too. There's a good amount of seating indoors as well as some outdoor patio seating. Great product, service and atmosphere.. what's not to love? read more

Merit Coffee - menus on the wall above the counter - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

So I've been wanting to try this coffee place for quite some time now and we finally got the chance to stop by. I was a little bit disappointed because it always looks super busy so you think it's the best and I think it's a local shop. Which I love to support. I can just say that the food and coffee was alright. The line was super long! So definitely be prepared to wait. And most definitely on a weekend. We ordered food and it was not that good. My sausage was burnt. While they may have just over cooked it it was still disappointing. I guess if I do come to the shop again it will have to be during the week while it's not at it's peak hours to give them another chance. But honestly I think the best time to rate a spot is at their peak because you know what service you will get. Let me know your thoughts! read more

Merit Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - San Antonio, Texas

I ordered a six dollar latte and asked if they could use almond milk and an add a splash of Vanilla and the up charge made the coffee almost 9 dollars. It was so sweet I had to take it back I couldn't drink it because it was sooooo sweet and all I asked for was vanilla. Then a regular customer at the coffee bar rudely asked if he could have my coffee. I told him to go for it and walked out. That's the second time I've been there and gotten a terrible cup of coffee. I won't ever go back and it's 3 blocks from my house. But I give it one star because The cashier was very nice. read more

I really want to like Merit a lot because of the mix of menu offerings, overall quality, friendly and efficient service and general coffee shop vibe. I tried an Egg Cup this time, and it's a tasty and satisfying low-carb snack-level option for a reasonable price. But the cappuccino on this second visit is not even as good as that of my first visit. I was hoping for a better cup, but in my opinion this one is not even as good - bitter and somewhat burnt tasting, earning it a 3-star for just the coffee. But I am leaving my rating a 4 overall because I like the for-here ceramic cup, the look of the pour, the Egg Cup, and as I said - I like everything else about this place - and I remain hopeful that their coffee quality will improve. read more

Delicious Not Your Mother's Nog! And blueberry muffin! Enjoyed the atmosphere- peaceful, music playing, and space to read or study. Thank you! I'll definitely be back! read more

Really liking the morning stops at this coffee bar. Batch brew is really good .. nutty base flavor. I would like a larger cup option ... maybe a 24 at least. The bakery goods are from a local spot. The variety is good but a little pricey. The hippie bar has so many flavors going on. Plenty of space inside and out if you want to hang out. The service was friendly and fast. Large coffee + hippie bar ~ $8 without tip. read more

This place is great. Great beans. Great process. Great customer service. I've purchased coffee, breakfast sandwiches, beans, and everything in between. Quality is at the top of their priority. The bagels sandwiches are super good even though I doubt they are made in-house. The coffee is on point. I've had lattes, pour overs, espresso and everything in between and I've never been disappointed. If you haven't visited this location I recommend you do! read more

This coffee shop is 3 steps below the one in Stone Oak. The staff is unfriendly , almost surly & act like you're doing them a favor. The coffee we ordered was poorly made & if you ask for something different from the usual you get dagger eyes. For the price, taste, & service I'll go to Starbucks! At least they're taught customer service. Go to Revolution or Curator coffee, they're awesome! read more

They serve good stuff. I usually get a hot chocolate, or sometimes a hot tea. This coffee shop is a great place for meetings, especially if the weather is nice and you can sit on the patio. They may be a little too generous about letting guests use the seating as coworking space for hours . . . sometimes many spots are taken by people with plugged in laptops and earbuds. That can make it hard to find a place to hang out with your friends or business contacts for an hour. But the location is so good, and they make darn good coffee. read more
