Merit Coffee

A great location serving up solid coffee and yummy snacks (jalapeño cheese kolaches are my favorite) and Taco Deli tacos in the mornings. Friendly baristas who know their stuff and are always welcoming. Always at least half full of a pleasant mix of work from home-ers, day traders, and students, so you never get that ghost town feeling some of the downtown Starbucks locations have at certain hours.

Had the affogato with ice cream and it was amazing!!! Would definitely recommend and will visit soon

Good coffee, but there isn't much seating available, except for outside. During the week particularly it seems like these young millennials buy a cup of coffee when the doors open, and then use it as an office space for the rest of the day.

Coffee is great. Cute location. I do wish the staff was a lot friendlier. Not sure why they aren’t. It’s been a few times that I’ve gone there not a smile and it’s not packed so not sure why they seem overwhelmed.

Long wait, distracted staff, expensive, and decent coffee at best. Not sure what's up with all the great reviews. Get the job done but very mediocre.

When I saw the signage that a coffee place was setting up shop across the street from where I lived downtown, I couldn’t be happier given the name. I walked there and enjoyed a chai tea latte...wonderful. They also have lots of other coffees and such. Parking is available on the nearby streets (COA parking meters) or in Seaholm development structure. There’s plenty of seating and free Wi-Fi.

It’s coffee. It’s a full bodied dark roast. Little acidic. Trendy location. The coff is good but I do like the vibe in the various locations and the trendy vibe. A great alternative to Starbucks and it's local.

Parking is kind of a pain, because you have to pay to park in the street.

Otherwise, first thing you notice when you walk in: aesthetically pleasing interior, simple menu.

Next thing you notice: delicious coffee, and whatever butternut-squash muffin I had was amazing!

Thank you!

We got here, ordered drinks and muffins but there was no internet. We sat there for 20 minutes trying to connect to the internet and eventually had to leave. The people who worked there didn’t help with the internet issue either. The coffee was okay and muffins were good but it is super annoying to drive to a coffee shop to go get work done, pay $20 to be there and then not even be able to get any work done. Would have given this place 4 stars if there was internet.

Coffee/Espresso is almost as good as 9th Street in NYC, still a far cry from Koffee in Tokyo. Layout needs improvement as the usual self-important laptoppers crowd available space (you know, like some little kid who won’t share the swing).
