Crema's Take
“Merit Coffee stands out as a genuinely solid airport coffee shop where the staff actually care about quality—the drip coffee and house-made drinks like their vanilla matcha and seasonal cold brews consistently impress travelers. Service is notably friendly and efficient, which matters when you're catching a flight. At 3.6 stars it's not perfect (some reviews mention inconsistency), but it's a real bright spot in airport food options, especially if you're stuck in San Antonio.”
What to expect
Espresso-focused, with a pour-over program. Quick-grab spot. Family friendly.

I stopped in at 6 in the morning while waiting for my flight and ordered a hot vanilla matcha. It ended up being one of the best matchas I’ve had in a long time! The flavor was perfect, and the customer service was incredibly friendly and welcoming, especially at that hour.…
Great stop at Merit Coffee in the airport. Excellent coffee and genuinely friendly service. A special shoutout to Aleeyah—always smiling and so welcoming. She made a busy travel moment feel relaxed and pleasant. Will definitely be back.

Merit Coffee at the Airport?! Don’t mind if I do 😊 Always innovative and tasty. Today I had their latest Peach Cold Brew with a Gluten-Free Lemon Blueberry Muffin. Fast service. Local flavor.
