Merit Coffee

I would agree with the sentiment here that the drinks here are not as good as they look. They are definitely pretty visually, but the actual taste is just.. boring?

I had to add a packet of the sugar because their "features" matcha strawberry drink was pretty bitter , and honestly undrinkable until i added sugar.

Now, I'm sure some people do genuinely enjoy it that way, but I would think for a featured drink it would be more mass appealing.

The price itself is high, but no higher than Starbucks or any other coffee shop being around $5-7 a drink depending on what you get and what size.

Coffee 5 stars
Croissant 3 stars
But hey, it’s a coffee shop not a French bakery for crying out loud! The coffee was perfect. The croissant wasn’t very flaky and underbaked (is that a word). If you’re coming here for the bitter sweet nectar Waaqa provides mortal man you won’t be disappointed. Take the coffee, leave the croissant.

Good place for working ( 10 down and 10 up internet speeds). Chairs are okay. Parking in the front and back just fine.

The matcha strawberry drink was quite tasty, the strawberries light and very freshly done as far as I can tell. Not artificial tasting. Props to the matcha for not being super chalky. Oat milk is $1 upcharge, same goes for other alternative milks. Total being $8 and change after tip.

Their drip coffee is actually one of the better ones out there for sure, I normally do not go for drip, but it did a good job. I can't describe it much tho.

Pop Tart was AMAZING. FLAKY warm and perfectly sweet. $4.

Other than the poptart, I would not go back but its a decent place if its close to you to try. I believe the rest rooms are in the outside of the building so you may need to ask for access codes fyi.

This place is small but super cute! Love the little bench nooks set into the wall to study at. The strawberry matcha was amazing! They have lots of unique flavors and coffee here. The barista's were awesome! Very patient in answering our many questions. The merchandise sold here was super cute.

I love Merit. I’ve been to this Highland location and Deep Ellum and they’re both great shops. Always seamless check out process. Great options on coffee (beans and to drink), merch, coffee tools and delicious food! The fact that they source and roast their own beans makes them so much better than a lot of coffee shops imo. They are easily one of my favorites. So, if you’re new in town or wanting to try local — go to Merit Coffee Co.

P.s I usually spend over $50 because I get coffee beans, drinks and usually pastries. If you get 1-2 coffees you’re looking at anywhere from $5-10.

matcha $7 they didn't even fill up the cup because i stated no ice. why make the cup so big if you aren't using the full interior.

charged full price for half of a glass...

Great coffee nice servers! The taste is super good and definitely strong.

Is chill and they put nice music, not too loud and perfect to go work with your laptop.

Merit is hands down the best coffee shop in Dallas. We’ll, to be fair, I always get the same thing, so if you’re getting an almond milk latte (or decaf latte), they make the very best one. There isn’t much seating, but the coffee is so good that it’s a destination for me. Fortunately, there are some other cute stops within the same strip mall which is cute.

Affogato was a thing of beauty. Freshest espresso & super chill hangout spot tucked away. Merit coffee is a must go.

I choosed very expensive coffee on trend and was not expected the taste was unacceptable. I added sugar and milk at least to be able to little change to better taste, unfortunately not good.
