It was my first time here but when I travel I try coffee shops all over and I love it here. Little 5 egg tacos seem freshly made with avocado in them and eggs soooooo good. I tried the strawberry matcha (1/2 sweeet) and vanilla latte iced and the coffee was clean tasting and so good. So far my fav coffee place in the north Dallas area.

I love this location, and Merit coffee in general - great management. Ayesha is always friendly and caring. I’ve seen the staff deal with some difficult customer interactions and have been impressed with their ability to stay calm and handle anything that comes their way. My favorite drinks are the banana match and a cappuccino!

This review is my experience at Merit and to call out another reviewer on here who was so rude and condescending to the barista taking his order. His attitude was uncalled for since he had other important things going on. If coffee is life like it is for some of us then make it a priority and the importance it deserves. I have come to this location multiple times not only by myself but also with my kids. We have always been treeted with the same energy smiles respect I always ask for recommendations and they never disappoint and the drinks are on point. The pastries are so good too my kids always ask for something besides a drink. It's a chill atmosphere I love the outdoor seating.

Convenient spot for a cozy, local coffee chain. Pretty packed with similarly business-oriented visitors on a recent trip, but decent indoor bench seating and outlets. Quick espresso service, and you get a free drink when you buy a bag of beans. Plenty of parking.

Merit has the best lattes of any coffee shop in Dallas! The ladies at the counter always have a smile and speak to you. Additionally the seating is great for working on your laptop. There is also a covered patio for outdoor seating, Ron J

These guys have some of the best drip coffee around. I like that they keep it fun and seasonal. Also enjoy all their specialty mixes. This location is right in line with all their other clean, open, well kept, and inviting spaces.

We absolutely love this coffee shop! Anytime we stop by it’s the most amazing experience. The staff, coffee, and vibe is always such a great time. We travel all the way from Frisco! Please build one up north merit

Great service on Friday morning! The workers are fast and really friendly. I got a large iced almond milk latte (7), the Jess’s special taco (4.2), and a strawberry pop tart. Total came out to around 17. Taco was decent, enjoyed the strawberry pop tart compared to ones I’ve had at other coffee shops, and the coffee was excellent. My latte tasted strong, but not bitter. Great place to try. Looks like a good place for studying or to have a meeting. Not super loud and lots of seating. There is also outdoor seating with shade.
