Bien Mérité Cafe, Bakery, and Restaurant

This place is so fun and cute! And the food is fantastic, lots of vegetarian friendly options. The wait on the weekend was what you’d imagine, just be prepared to wait. But it seems they’ve got enough tables for everyone to have a seat when they’ve made it through the line which was nice. Docked a star only because the menu they had currently was apparently a future menu and many of the items were unavailable. But I would for sure go back, would love to try the new stuff! Service was awesome, and obviously the place is adorable!

This place was a hidden gem on our trip to Corpus Christi. Located near downtown and not marked very well, the service and food quality made up for not being totally sure we were in the right place. The waffle was fluffy with just the right crisp on the outside. My egg was cooked perfectly, and they took my request for crispy bacon seriously! We could not help ourselves and we got a cinnamon roll as an appetizer, and ended up getting an assorted box of goodies out of the bake case. If in CC, TX make sure to add a visit here for brunch to your to do list.

Cute decoration with great food. We had the high tea, everything delicious. Again, the details with tea cups with golden details and silverware in golden. Only downside is that it is an old building, not adding to the ambience.

The atmosphere was beautiful and had plenty of Instagram worthy spots. My order was an avocado BLT (I think lol) and it was super yummy. My party ordered some other lunch sandwiches and a dessert cart with an array of different desserts with some tea. Originally with the tea, we were not handed tea cups. We had to ask if we could have a tea set with our tea. Our waitress was very kind and attentive. She served us our tea complete with a tea set and told us there was usually a charge for the tea set. However we would not be charged for the tea set. Our party of four had a nice time and "spilled plenty of tea" lol during our lunch lol if ya know what I mean. I did not remember if there was a wheelchair accessible entrance or restroom. However there was plenty of space between tables for wheelchair accessibility. Would recommend again and come back for another tea session.

First of all, Trinity and Sadie were really sweet and super helpful! The food was fantastic! I can’t wait to go back!!! The matcha banana chocolate chip bread is delicious!

Loved this place! I got the breakfast bowl and a raspberry and pistachios croissant.
Portion is big and filling and the croissant was great! Definitely recommended

We had a high tea event and food was fabulous!! Great small sandwiches and desserts was one of a kind!!!

A real hidden gem. We had the French breakfast 3 days in a row while visiting Corpus. It was simply amazing each time. They are cashless, so card ONLY. Excellent service. There may be a wait on weekends, it gets busy! But it is worth waiting a few minutes! The croissant, mousse cup, beignet and cafe latte was all amazing. Wish I could take Bien Merite home with us! 💜💜💜 UPDATE 5/12/22: We loved it so much we made a detour just to enjoy breakfast here again and it did not disappoint! The menu is expanded and maybe better!

Bien Mérité is my favorite French restaurant in Corpus Christi. The pastries are good. The prices are steep, just like real French food. The service is “comme ci comme ça”. The macarons are excellent. The croissants are the right mix of fluffy and flaky.

The only things I didn't like was the outward appearance and the funky smell walking through the door. The food was delicious and so was the coffee.
