Merit Coffee
7865 Firefall Way, Dallas, TX
Crema's Take
“This peaceful Dallas spot excels at thoughtful espresso drinks and a surprisingly stellar matcha program that's smooth and balanced without being cloyingly sweet. The fresh pastries—particularly their chocolate croissants—pair perfectly with their carefully crafted pour overs and cold brew, and the clean, welcoming atmosphere makes it an ideal spot to linger with friends or settle in solo. Reviewers consistently praise the friendly service and quality ingredients, including their thoughtful touch of offering sugar-free syrups for those who need them.”

Very nice coffee shop. The place feels clean and peaceful, and the service was friendly from the moment I walked in. My iced latte was really good and refreshing. I enjoyed the atmosphere and the experience overall. Definitely a place I would come back to when I’m in the area. Good coffee and kind people always make the difference.
Absolutely delicious coffee. Just tried it for the first time and I’ll be thinking about it for days. I’m diabetic and really appreciate the availability of sugar free vanilla syrup. Gender neutral restrooms are also much appreciated. Can’t wait to return for more coffee!
The chocolate croissant is very delicious, freshly made. You can tell in the quality. The berry Matcha latte was actually just Perfect. Not too sweet. We’re not to playing.
I hate to write a negative review about this place because I’ve loved Merit for years, but if I’m going to pay over $6 for a matcha latte (before tip!) I expect it to be made “correctly”. That does not mean putting matcha powder in a blender with water to make your concentrate and then storing it in a plastic squeeze bottle 🤮 Can we all say “BPA” together? It means whisking the matcha together for each drink, truly making a handcrafted matcha. That’s what I’m paying for, after all. I can easily do the blender trick at home in my own fridge. What’s even more shocking about this is I was literally the only customer in the store when I ordered this drink. There was no need to try to save 30 seconds. It was literally pure laziness. Merit, you’ve downgraded yourself to offering the fast food of matcha lattes. So disappointed in you.
Merit Coffee: MATCHA REVIEW For my matcha lovers out there Merit offers a refreshing and smooth matcha. I ordered an iced matcha latte with whole milk, and I really appreciate that their matcha is not pre-sweetened. It did have interesting after flavor that was not like any matcha I’ve had before. They used actual power though so there was some separation within my matcha and it didn’t seem to be all dissolved. They use ice nuggets too which melt a lot quicker than larger cubes. So on a hot Texas day my matcha gets watered down a lot faster. The staff was friendly and the space itself was lovely. I’d definitely come back to try their other drinks. An iced matcha latte costs: $5.95 for a 16 oz cup Matcha Rating: 7.2
