Merit Coffee

Awesome little shop. I tried the cereal milk cold brew because it is so unusual and no joke it tasted like fruity pebbles without the sugar shakes. It was quite expensive but fun for the experience. The cafe design is lovely and they have some super cool merch available as well. I would definitely frequent this spot if I was local.

Merit is still as delicious as before. You can just tell the beverages are made with quality ingredients and love! Get the pistachio matcha iced with oat milk and thank me later.

Extremely hard to find a parking spot, and I mean EXTREMELY!Walked in to get some coffee beans, asked the employee to give me some recommendations, it was all professional and friendly. I bought 2 bags of 2 kinds of beans.Got home, tasted the coffee, absolutely hated one of them, but loved the other one. So I phoned in asking if I can return or exchange it to the one I like, she said yes. (By that I mean I'll keep the bag I've already opened, I just needed to exchange the unopened bag of coffee that I didn't like.)Went back 2 days later, took 30 mins and went around the blocks 5-6 times to find a parking spot, walked in to do an exchange, the guy had no smile, asked me coldly what kind of beans do I want to do an exchange with, I picked the one I liked, and he scanned it, and said " OK, the beans you want to exchange is cheaper than the one you are returning, so we can do that." again, with no smile, vibe got weird, then I was waiting for him to tell me what's the difference so I can decide if I want the change or not, but he didn't do it, he just scanned it and stared at me, so I figured the difference must be small then if he didn't even bother to give me the change. OK, whatever.Will I be back at this place? No, espresso coffee is kinda sour for my liking. ( They use the same kind of beans that I returned. Too sour.) The brewed coffee tasted okay though. And the parking situation is beyond just a headache.... And I hate parallel parking. LOL

yo as a former barista of 5 years and current ongoing love for a good cuppa jo, literally came in twice right. the first time homeboy really had to correct me on the fact that they don't sell iced coffee, just cold brew.okthencame in another time, different staff, and the person at the order point slayed the mf house down. short, glasses, ambiguous vibesi mistakenly asked the barista for the bathroom code bc the front was busy asf, and she really mf cut me off. to tell me. the code.NOOOOOOOO!!! literally where is the comfy cozy coffee shop i want merit to be ??? what is wrong w ur deep ellum elitist staff yo gimme my mf coconut milk matcha and maybe don't be mean (???!!!)she also waited until multiple customers after me got their drinks to even start mine WHATanyways the drinks were mid too lol

Super cute coffee shop that has an open space seating and is aesthetically pleasing. The woman taking my order at the front was really sweet and helpful. I was in desperate need of some caffeine so I ordered a matcha latte with a shot of espresso, topped with cinnamon. I noticed everyone getting their drinks and mine still hadn't been called. So I asked the barista if mine was coming up. The barista came in hot with the attitude saying "I have a lot of tickets and I have others to make, but yours is coming." I was just double checking because we've all been there where we wait 15+ mins and when we ask, they've somehow lost our ticket or have forgotten to make our drink. Hey! It happens. I was just double checking, but the attitude really was off putting. I also do believe he forgot about my drink until I brought it up, bc suddenly, he stops making all the other drinks and starts mine and mine was the next one up. He called my name twice, rolling his eyes. I didn't think the drink was mine bc mine was a matcha latte and the drink was not green at all. I thought maybe there was another Kim there. But the 2nd time he called my name, he looked at me. I grab the drink and instantly knew it was made wrong. Essentially it was just a reg latte with cinnamon. I felt like it was such a hassle to complain and given the barista was already mean, I just let it go, but really I should have gotten what I ordered.

Excellent coffee with subtle flavors. Interior is cute and comfortable, perfect for a break from walking all day.

Nice gem in the Deep Ellum district in Dallas, TX. The coffee selection is great. The servers were polite. Large windows to look out of while sipping drink, working on your computer or just relaxing.

Looking for some good coffee and tea recommendations on the downtown area and this place came highly recommended. The service was great and the staff gave good recommendations of items on the menu. First time trying the iced strawberry matcha latte and it was pretty good. Also a great place to get some work done. I will definitely be back.

If you are staying downtown (Deep Ellum) there is not a whole lot of coffee choices...but this one is great!!!Really cool inside with a good amount of seating both inside and out.Had an iced Americano and it tasted perfect.They also have a few food options

Cute coffee shop with great energy due to it being on a highly walkable area of Deep Ellum. Loved some of the specialty drinks they had in celebration of the 2024 eclipse! Assuming they have lots of other specialties year round. The baristas are chill and friendly. No attitude. Great service.
