Merit Coffee

Nice atmosphere but the cappuccino is undrinkable…

Very fun little urban shop. Super nice baristas. Coffee on par.

I have been to quite a few coffee shops in the Austin area. Merit didn't impress me due to their the price, service, and ambiance. When I placed an order I asked for an iced smores latte, somehow it came to about 10 dollars excluding tip. I understand that some coffee shops charge more, but most wouldn't charge more than 6 or 7 for a comparable cup of coffee. The workers didn't seem to like that I had them remake it once I noticed it came out hot and not iced. People crowded the coffee shop and I am not sure why because the ambiance, quality of coffee, and service was lackluster at best. My drink was OK, not great, but there are much better coffee shops in the Austin area especially at those prices.

This is the best coffee I have ever had in my entire life. We went at least 3 days in a row for our fix of hazelnut lattes and it tasted perfect every single time. We also did a delivery on a lazy day for us. Drinking the hazelnut latte with whole milk was a religious experience because no other coffeeshop has ever made a coffee as good and consistently delicious. Even the smell of the latte was absolutely perfect. Different baristas made our lattes perfect each time so it has to be the recipe. I don’t live in Austin but I am considering moving for the hazelnut latte. If any part of the recipe could be shared, this could save me from Austin rent. Please, I won’t tell anyone the recipe or ingredients

Great place to sit, read, and have some coffee!

ivd been goin to this place for more than 4 years and the ambience and coffee is great. it does get busy so seating is not guaranteed. clean bathroom is a plus. was excited about the vegan oatmeal bar, but now i regret not getting the hippie bar. the hippie bar is a sweet, chewy, pseudo trailmix kinda peanutbutter brownie. deffo rec if youre a granola gal or if u like PB

Great coffee and good place to work too. Friendly staff and cool merch.
