Merit Coffee Co.

Fun environment. The staff seems nice too, but the coffee is terrible and almost $9.00 for an almond milk latte. The food selections seem to be good and maybe tea will be a better option here. Also, if you are planning on working with your laptop, there seems to be a sufficient amount of plugs by the tables, but some of the tables are very low down to where it is uncomfortable to work. Parking may be an issue too as you are in Deep Ellum but this coffee shop appears to be open much later than many.

Kills it with everything, except the weird watered down cold brew they advertise as coffee with a tea profile. Hard pass on that but the bottle was cool...Go get some hot or cold Joe and a bag of beans for home it will be great no matter which way you get it fancied up.

I've been a regular at this coffee shop for the last three years, and just wanted to say how great it is. The coffee and food is excellent, but the service and employees are even better. One thing I love is how the employees treat everyone with kindness and respect, especially the unhoused folks in the area who are struggling and come in to ask for water, etc. I really hope management knows that it really makes a positive difference in Deep Ellum.

Great coffee in the former Lula B space. Comfortable seating and super friendly staff. There would have been bonus points for the wizard hat on my cortado, but they’re 5-star even without.

Merit Coffee - Pleasant surprise. This is a solid specialty coffeeshop and was surprised to see they have a mod bar. Friendly service, and nice aesthetic overall but nothing really out of the ordinary or unique in terms of your typical specialty coffeeshop. The flat white was made with care. Toilets are clean and spacious, locked so you need to ask for the code. The only thing I have to say was a negative was use of plastics and difficult to recycle products.

Great coffee. House made syrups.
The coffee is never over roasted and has great flavor. I typically order their drip coffee on ice but you can not go wrong with anything here.
For those that want to come here and do some work, there is plenty of space to do work and many charging ports that are found under neath the seats.

They have a really good knowledge of coffee, and give great recommendations of what you'd like based on what you typically get. the fresh brewed coffee is wonderful, and the coffee beans smell and taste great when brewing at home. Also, they gave me the pointer to adjust my grind size when French pressing to get a better extraction, and it helped a ton.

Warm and welcoming staff! Very modern and white walled interior design with an interesting ceiling design. MUST TRY THE ICED MEXICAN VANILLA LATTE (Extra Sweet) The notes in this coffee distinguishes it from anything else I have ever tasted!

Very strong black coffee. Nice place to sit and wait

Ambiance was nice, friendly staff, but the espresso was a bit sour.
