Merfolk’s Specialty Coffee

Merfolk's is a South Austin coffeehouse with a decent amount of parking and ample space inside to enjoy its brews, with a sprinkle of mermaid decor. My friend and I visited Merfolk's after being drawn to their specialty coffee menu. We both ordered signature lattes. I had the Cupid's Kiss, with salted caramel, honey, jasmine, and rose, and my friend ordered the Super Good Latte, a white mocha with maple spice and cinnamon milk. Although both drinks sound like they'd be super sweet, they were not, and had a perfect level of sweetness and flavor. My drink was tasty, and we were easily able to snag a table on a Sunday afternoon, which is all I really ever want from a coffee shop. Merfolk's carries a good variety of pastries from Sour Duck which we did not try this time around, but will next time. We saw other people playing board games stocked by Merfolk's, which I think is a nice touch. Overall, Merfolk's seems like a great place to work or meet up with friends. We will be back!

Merfolk's is one of the cutest coffee shops I've ever seen! It's super cozy, and the menu options are great. They have Wi-Fi and plenty of seating/outlets, so this would be a great place to work for the day. Food/Drinks: I got the grandma's cookies latte, which was so good. It truly tasted like a fresh-baked cookie in latte form. I didn't try any of the pastries but they all looked great. Service: Both the baristas I spoke with were very sweet and informative. I couldn't decide what to get and they had a ton of great suggestions and knew the menu really well.Parking: There's a pretty big parking lot shared with a few other businesses. I went on a Wednesday morning and had no issues finding a spot.

The vibes are lovely. I do wish the playlist that was going on was different. It has sea shanty vibes, but the music was very older pop? I'm not sure, it just didn't go. I forgive it because everything else was cozy and good, and the drinks were so tasty. Service is quick, but it wasn't very busy when I visted.They have a "Mythical Drinks" list that had fun labels and names like Elli's Yuletide Chai which was described as a Winter Spiced Chai Latte. I prefer tea during the evenings so I ordered the Enchanted Rose. This is a mix of green tea, rose and lemonade. Ten out of ten! That was a combination I have never seen before. It was incredibly refreshing. The person with me ordered Persephone's Secret. It was a dark hot chocolate with candied orange. I'm told it was a touch too sweet for the dark flavor and the orange did not come through enough for them. They still did enjoy it though.

I came in on a cold rainy Friday and decided to get some crocheting done. It was a very warm and quiet place with a lot of seating both inside and out. I got their iced matcha latte and I think it is comparable to most matcha lattes. Service was super friendly and even brought my drink out to my table which might have been because I had a whole seat up with my crochet things but still something I don't see nowadays at coffee shops.

My new favorite. Excellent coffee and pastries, friendly staff, cozy and comfortable atmosphere.

Merfolk's was a great experience all around. The drinks were wonderful, the baristas were friendly, and the space is well decorated. They offer a good variety of coffee, tea, and pastries; we settled on a matcha latte, white mocha, and lemon pound cake.There is plenty of space (and outlets!) for study groups & settling in for a while, as well as a lovely pet-friendly outdoor patio space. Definitely will be a regular stop for us!

The baristas working on the day i went were my favorite part of the visit. Super friendly and sweet. What a great mew spot and i know they will be filled up full very soon. The loose leaf teas were exquisite. The coffee was delicious and so many great pastry options. I cant wait to go back and look at the unique decor while i enjoy my cup of coffee.

The food and pastries are always delicious. The service is always friendly and quick and they ambience is relaxing. They even have an area for your dog!

Good ambiance for working or board games. Also enjoyed the pastries and tea. The barista is also very friendly.

Coffee was yummy! The owner (i forgot his name) made our drinks very well. The place is cute and i recommend it
