My sister and I stopped by Merit so I can try and rate the cortado for my silly little cortado review series. I also ordered the Purple Haze Latte and a poptart (courtesy of Bakery Lorraine). The cortado was surprisingly good. I say surprisingly because normally Merit's coffee is too fruity (and a bit funky) for me, but this was bold and right and made my ears tingle. Nice and creamy, and not watery. A very top notch standard cortado. The purple haze tasted like relaxing on the beach. It even had little bits of dried ube on top, like a little purple sandy beach. I'm pretty glad Merit's making me re-think their beans. That cortado is something I still think about, even though it's been about a month since my visit.

This was my first time at this Summer Moon location. I've been to the Tri-Point location several…read moretimes and never been disappointed. I went on a Monday afternoon to the Medical Drive location. It was quiet, with only a couple of other patrons. I ordered a double Chai which confused the server as he thought I wanted a double espresso shot in the chai, not an uncommon mistake. Chai can be so variable. Most places just use a pre-made syrup (usually Tazo) but what makes the difference is the heat of the milk. I've had them from faux-bucks and it was barely room temp. This was piping hot and even though it was served in a to-go style cup stayed hot for the 40 mins it took me to drink it. The seating is a mix of high tables, couches and comfy chairs. Which makes it the perfect spot for me when I want to get away from the house to read. Overall a very good experience and I'd recommend this Summer Moon.

Review Update: The best Summer Moon visit I've had…read more Coffee shop and specialty shop barista here! I've been to a couple of Summer Moon locations and have never really been a fan. My last experience with this one on the other hand was very pleasant. The baristas were super friendly and swift with our order, the cafe itself was clean despite a decent sized crowd, and our order was pretty satisfying. We ordered a Matcha Moon Latte with Lavender, another Matcha Moon Latte with Hazelnut, a Banana Chocolate Chip Muffin, and a Mixed Berry Poptart. Our Matcha Moons were both pretty good; while the lavender was rather subtle and melded well with the moon milk, the hazelnut was in fact a little heavy in flavor. The Poptart was very sweet and yummy, though I admittedly didn't eat all of the crust, and the Muffin was an equal blend of chocolate and banana, rich and moist, and was absolutely delicious overall. If I'm ever in the mood for Summer Moon I will most definitely go out of my way to visit this location. This trip definitely changed my view of Summer Moon in its favor!

My friend adored her macchiato and ferro rocher ball, but i had a different experience -- the basbousa i love here was heavy and less flavorful than before. I don't know what wasn't right, but this was not what i expected. There were only a few nougats, sadly none of my favorites. I wanted a cold Americano, but was told it was only available hot. The menu identified what drinks were only available hot and the Americano was not among them. I asked what was available cold, and he said, "everything else." I'm hoping this place will return to awesome when the renovation is done.

I decided to give it a try and I do not regret it at all. Well .. my only regret is getting addicted and spending way more money than I need to on coffee. This place is incredible. They only offer drive through service, no seating which is fine. Even when the line is long it moves quickly and efficiently. I've never experienced a rude employee there and they're usually pretty helpful with recommendations. My go to is the Gold Rush (salted caramel) which is consistently delicious. Sometimes I feel adventurous and try something new, but I'm usually unsure about the flavor and then regret my choice later so I've learned stick with my old trustee.

The 4 tiny mochi on a bamboo pick is flavored and small along with a very crunchy, fresh taiyaki that had a mochi inside texture. Lots of seating and a bright area that was welcoming. It comes out to about $10 for taiyaki with filled ice cream or $5 for just plain taiyaki. A fun little cafe and the matcha is lightly flavored with a tiny hint of bitterness, soft serve, and similar to Japanese style. It is not as strongly flavored as other Japanese-origin matcha ice cream chains. Taiyaki was perfectly crispy and good. Note that the center of the ice cream in the cup portion is empty but the taiyaki itself is filled with ice cream.

What made it even better was the Snoopy memorabilia everywhere! It gave the space such a fun personality and made it uniquely charming compared to your typical coffee stop.
