We had the pistachio latte, Lotus (Biscoff) cheesecake, and milk cake, and everything was absolutely delicious! The pistachio latte was so good, and the desserts were the perfect combination.

Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for something a little different in San Antonio!

My friend and I tried this cute, aesthetic coffee shop last week and as soon as you walk in...it's…read moresuch a vibe! The outside doesn't scream coffee shop , in fact it's kind of an "IYKYK" type places because it's right in plain sight and I passed it for awhile before knowing what it was. Thanks to the San Antonio coffee fb group for all of the recommendations! They have a pretty expansive menu as well as plenty of delicious looking baked goods ! They have some cbd options too but I didn't try any of those. I tried the iced texas Star - flavorful and great espresso flavor. I do wish they used smaller ice cubes so the drink would last just a tiny bit longer. I also tried their chocolate croissant. Good, but would've been better warmed up! I don't remember if they offered that. My friend had the matcha and she loved it. They recently got a new matcha and she was worried because she loved the other one but was pleasantly surprised how smooth and delicious this one was as well. I definitely need to go back and try their matcha as well as other menu items because everything sounds so good. 1 star taken off because it is very hard to navigate with a stroller which is a bummer because I know tons of moms that love to venture out and find new coffee shops. On the plus side, clean restrooms with a changing table which is hard to come by!

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.

Popped in on a weekday mid morning. Plenty of seating to relax if you want. I got one of the…read morespecialties which was a chai latte with matcha cold foam. I personally think the ratio was too much cold foam so it really overpowered the drink and I couldn't taste the chai. The employee wasn't super friendly but she wasn't rude either. The shop was nice and convenient so I'll probably try a regular coffee at some point.

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.

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!!

I loved the matcha. The rosemary and lavender syrup is lovely with the perfect balance of herbal and sweet. The matcha is nice and creamy but not overly sweet. The coffee is pretty solid, not as sweet as some other places which is nice. It's not overly watery either. The lemon curd pastry was fantastic; nice sugary crisp and super flakey and buttery. The lemon curd itself is a smidge overwhelming in tartness but still delicious overall. The cinnamon croissant was my least favorite because it was a bit dry inside. I think they would also benefit from having prices next to the pastries. Service was great still! We went at 8:30 on a Saturday and there was a decent amount of people but we didn't have to wait super long. I was really impressed with the matcha and it's definitely up there in the SATX matcha scene.

Yelp steered me right and brought me here on a Thursday morning. Walking in I wasn't sure if this was only a coffee/tea spot or if they sold cocktails and beers too. The bar area and decor lends itself to look like an old bar and it has great vibes! No beer or cocktails here but they do have a seemingly delicious menu! We didn't eat anything while we were here because we had breakfast prior to coming in. The menu had an array of offerings and sandwiches that I could see myself coming back and trying in the future. I ordered a Mexican Mocha and my mom had a cold brew. Service was fast and friendly. We found a nice spot close to the windows and I was able to look around at all the relics around and displayed at the front entrance. After we got our drinks, one of the owners or managers, walked around offering delicious slices of lemon frost cake. I was so appreciative that this just made our delicious coffee even better! I saw many students and other folks reading and studying while we were here. The atmosphere lends itself to do so too as it is chill, quiet, and quaint. I will definitely be back again. This spot was super unique and I really love their smart branding and logos/brand identity.

Cool diamond art displayed throughout store space, a compost bin, and area of their specialized coffee for sale. I appreciated their menu of coffee varieties, breakfast/lunch menu, and home made pastries. But, especially was thankful and grateful that any of their special coffee menu items could be made decaffeinated. Thank you so much!! I can only tolerate decaf. I chose Spanish Romance decaf, sub with coconut milk. Absolutely delicious! Not too sweet and loved the chocolate, hazelnut, and coconut notes. My friend ordered a blueberry scone- all pastries made in house and was packed with blueberries. Next time I'm in the area, I'll definitely stop in!

When you enter the place, it was very colorful and fun decore. The seats were like sofa couches and very comfortable.

The moment we walked in we were greeted immediately and the lady really went into the menu for us. She was very knowledgeable and can tell she enjoys what she does and the drinks she made. She said she can make any of the drinks how we want (less sweet or more, any type of milk, etc). I loved her energy and I had fun small talk with the other person working there too. Great staff for sure. They have alot of fun drinks but ended up ordering ube matcha. Loved the look and colors of the drink off the bat. The taste itself was very sweet (reminded me of a cereal I had when younger; maybe apple jacks). I really did like it but was a bit sweet for me. I would definitely come back here soon to try another drink and maybe a muffin.
