Merit Coffee,

222 West Avenue, Austin, TX 78701

"I have been to quite a few coffee shops in the Austin area. Merit didn't impress me due to their the price, service, and ambiance. When I placed an order I asked for an iced smores latte, somehow it came to about 10 dollars excluding tip. I understand that some coffee shops charge more, but most wouldn't charge more than 6 or 7 for a comparable cup of coffee. The workers didn't seem to like that I had them remake it once I noticed it came out hot and not iced. People crowded the coffee shop and I am not sure why because the ambiance, quality of coffee, and service was lackluster at best. My drink was OK, not great, but there are much better coffee shops in the Austin area especially at those prices."

"Great coffee shop a few blocks from the downtown Austin Public Library. Half white was excellent and my pour over was good, too. Baked goods surprisingly tasty, even in late afternoon. Not a huge place but WiFi, clean bathrooms, and outlets make for a good work spot if you can get a seat."

"This was one of THE BEST lattes I’ve ever had in not only Austin, but probably ever. Not only is this establishment beaaautiful with lots of natural light and both indoor and outdoor seating, but it’s convenient location makes it easily accessible whether you’re driving or walking. Staff was super friendly and walked us through any questions about the menu we had and our drinks were made quick. It’s a shame I don’t live in Austin because I know this would be my regular spot."

"Cool coffee shop on the corner. Seriously though after a long day of being all around town, I was in need of a really good double espresso shot. And this place came through. Atmosphere was cool and artistic, they got their decor game working strong. It’s in a great location too but it’s a pretty small space. I enjoyed the visit, I might have even Shazam’ed a song while I was there lol. Their restrooms are locked that requires combination, and the WiFi password is right there too. Overall a dope coffee shop I’ll definitely be back."

"This is my favorite stop for coffee in Austin's Seaholm area. The employees are both friendly and helpful. Orders are made with care and come out pretty quick too. It's small, and fills up a lot, but that's to be expected when you have great service and product. I'll keep coming back!"
