Reviews
"The location of this cafe is fantastic, especially for those at UQ, as it remains one of the few cafes open in the afternoon when others close. However, it might not be everyone's cup of tea. The long queues and limited seating during busy hours can be a drawback, affecting the overall dining experience. Additionally, taste preferences vary, and while some may find it satisfactory, others might not find it extraordinary. Nonetheless, with Brisbane offering an array of cafes, each with its unique charm, it's worth exploring other options to discover cafes that align better with individual tastes and preferences."
"I just want to preface this review by saying that I do not frequently write public complaints, but it is just beyond me how Merlo UQ operates the way they do. Literally every time I come here, it takes them such a long time to prepare a coffee. I came once at open at 7am, it took 15 minutes. If I see a queue, I don't even bother going there because I know I'm gonna spend so much time waiting. This afternoon just before 5pm, with no queue, I ordered a 16oz WHC and asked for my L Card discount, and after waiting a good 10 minutes, I got a 13oz WHC. I queried the wrong size to your team and they offered to remake it, but honestly I do not have the time to just stand around and wait for them to remake a drink. Far out."
"I asked for a dirty matcha latte with extra matcha powder. I don’t know why it tastes so different this time… very strong caffeine, barely taste matcha… I’m a huge matcha fan, but this is really like a strong iced skinny latte with unmixed matcha powder on the bottom. And the matcha powder seems different."
"On a few occasions I’ve ordered drinks and small snacks from Merlo and they’ve always been delicious. The staff are caring and hardworking. The only criticism I have is that sometimes my chai lattes have been quite sugary."
"Great coffee, friendly staff and excellent service. The location and outside sitting are lovely. I wish if this branch of Merlo can provide Espresso blend."
