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.

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.

Earlier someone posted that their experience wasn't so pleasant. I'm never one to speak up on a…read moreplatform but I definitely needed to especially considering I go to ACR once a week. I went today Monday June 1, 3:35pm staff was great! Seems they are busy and had a shelf full of online/pick-up orders. I typically walk in and see what they have to offer and buy 5lbs on average. When I asked the lady at the front she gladly went to look, unfortunately they didn't have Colombia in the medium roast, but that makes sense! Colombia is a Hot Hot item! They are also a smaller roastery, I bet it takes the staff plenty of time to get a solid roast for all those different coffees, so I never nag them for not having the coffee. The coffee is great, it's local, best of all, it's fresh. She gave great alternatives to my pallet, as I love a light and medium roast, but I need a large quantity. I got the Ethiopian Guji, usually my second choice, and she packed it right up for me. I was in and out in 5 min. They do sell soaps like someone in the reviews said, but it's just a couple, alongside with a minimal amount of merchandise on their shelves. Long story short, they are people too, and the vibe you give out, is the vibe you'll get right back. I overheard the roaster and it seems they are sweet and passionate about what they do. I will continue to come here

Monday afternoon staff provided dismissive service…read more.. I've been a customer here for + 5 years, and I genuinely enjoy their coffee beans, which is why I keep coming back. Unfortunately, my most recent visit was disappointing. I called ahead to confirm that my order was ready for pickup, and I was told everything was set. However, when I arrived, the staff member informed me that the order had not been started and that they did not have it available. I told her that was okay and that I was willing to wait. What bothered me most was the customer service. The staff member rolled her eyes, and walked away several times without explaining what was happening. When the coffee bags were finally brought out, she walked away again, I still needed to complete payment and receive a receipt. Despite trying to get assistance, I was ignored until I stopped her and asked directly. I've had mostly positive experiences here with the coffee beans over the years, so this interaction stood out for the wrong reasons. I hope management can provide additional customer service training to ensure customers feel acknowledged and respected.

I'd be more inclined to get a mocha/drink that was seasonal, as result. Be it a drip pour, tea or latte, this place is clutch. Staff is always kind and friendly. Always clean. This is one of the smaller locations. Sometimes there are booths. Check near the restroom, too. There are also high tops facing the window. Pleasant on a nice day. There's seating outside as well. Parking available for the retail lot. Enjoy!

Let me first start by saying this is one of the most beautiful coffee shops I've been in. I thought…read morethe aesthetic would be overly white and clinical, however it's beautiful, and inviting. The location is a little confusing. It's in the back of a shopping complex behind the main road. Google and Apple Maps send me to the wrong direction a few times because the parking lot is not on a main road. It's behind bigdash off of centennial and Greenville. They offer a wide variety of Yemeni and regular coffees, teas, smoothies, matchas and more. They also have a wonderful selection of pastries that are very unique. I opted for Qishr which I've come to learn is a type of tea and a chocolate covered date. The prices are reasonable, the bathrooms are spotless and the ample seating and quiet atmosphere make it a great place to study. I'm from out of town but I would be back and recommend it.
