Crema's Take

“Merit Coffee's Broadway location in Alamo Heights is a serious espresso destination where the cortados arrive with real complexity—nutty, sweet, and earthy—making it worth settling in for a refill rather than grabbing to-go. Beyond their stellar espresso work, they've built something special with creative seasonal drinks like cinnamon toast crunch matcha and adventurous options like rosemary brown sugar lattes that show they're willing to experiment. With abundant natural light, generous seating perfect for studying, and a cool atmosphere that keeps people lingering, this is the kind of coffee shop that becomes a genuine community gathering spot rather than just a caffeine pit stop.”

What to expect

Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program, matcha and tea options too. A slow-sit, laptop-friendly spot, good for meetings.
