2018!? Has it really been that long since I've reviewed Merit? Back when it was still called Local…read moreCoffee? Let's do this... 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.

Pretty good matcha and lattes! I was definitely more intrigued going to try this place more…read morerecently because of their spring flavors! They had me at Pandan Matcha Cloud Latte and to their Bluebonnet Matcha, great flavors!! The Pandan takes me back to so cal 1000% and I love that they have it here in San Antonio for me to get a taste of home! Pandan is often described as the "vanilla of Southeast Asia" with a fragrant, mildly sweet taste, featuring strong notes of coconut, vanilla, and toasted almond. Price point wise, it is pricier, but their coffee and matcha are pretty top tier! Definitely a place like this a treat!! Excited to try more seasonal flavors!!

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!

I've gotten my favorite drink here which is the full summer moon iced.

But I'll continue to come to this location

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.

Won't be coming back here…read more Have tried on multiple occasions to stop-by in the morning, during the posted operations hours, but was met with no lights inside and the doors locked. Today, I was in the area so stopped in. No matter where I go in San Antonio, to get a latte, light ice never means a partially empty cup. Usually, coffee place staff will ask if you want to fill the cup and give a heads up there's an up charge or just add more milk without issue. $10 for a latte is pricey to begin with and on top of it? 1/4 is empty. My takeaway is $10= 1/2 cup of ice and the rest latte. Coffee is good, but taking everything into consideration, not worth revisiting.

SO. GOOD. I went by over Christmas for the first time to get a gift card for my son's teacher and…read morethey offered a free large with the purchase of a gift card. 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.
