The coffee here is always delicious and it is hard to say no to the treats sitting in the glass containers on the counter. The pistachio cookie I had yesterday was small enough to make me feel like I hadn’t overindulged and just enough to accompany my cappuccino. The only problem here is parking. Go on foot if you can or go during the off peak times.

It is always a guarantee when you go to a coffee place with the own roaster at the back of the café. This one is a typical example, particularly it is Merlo. Went there this morning and it was full of take-away customers. I found the indoor dining area was empty so I placed my order and took a seat inside, then relaxed and waited for my flat white. Surprisingly, my banana bread came first (may be it was too busy to serve the take-away orders). Looked at the bread and appreciated the generous portion and carefully toasted and spread with butter. Actually, the texture was good but I would prefer to have separate jug of butter so I could spread the butter by myself. The reason is due to the fact that butter will be absorbed into the bread when it was spread too early prior to be served. That may weaken the taste of butter. Well, it should be the time to talk about the coffee. I have no problem so far to have coffee at the Merlo specialty shop and this time was the same. Barista's pouring technique is sophisticated, the coffee is strong with deep layer. It is absolutely worth for the trip.
One of the best places for coffee in town. Awesome cold drip and I love their deserts. Visiting it at least few times a month. Perfect place for business coffee meetings.
An Italian iced coffee made to order by the barista, it’s a delicious caffeine jolt to keep you going through a long Summer afternoon. At the launch, I learned that Merlo also run coffee appreciation classes . This was the perfect gift solution fo ra number of friends who are becoming increasingly hard to buy for. The other activity they run are the professional cupping sessions, every Tuesday morning at their Bowen Hills Torrefazione (roastery). Coffee cupping is where single origin beans and blends are roasted, ground and them tasted alongside one another. It’s a chan
I attend here regularly with several members of my ski paddling crew after our morning river training sessions & we have always received excellent service & great coffee. Parking is a dream & the Merlo team led by Nick & now Nikki are always upbeat & greet us with smiles & a warm welcome every time. Why go elsewhere? Best Staff, Best Service & Best Coffee by far - see you there!!
Good coffee, good service. I would just recommend to improve the method of ordering like (little screen with what is been ordered/stickers/paper with what is been ordered for the team to know what to prepare) I have received couple of free coffees because my order was incomplete or was taking to long.
But everything is delicious and I will keep coming back
Love buying beans from here, great service and a complimentary coffee to go, girls behind the counter are friendly and helpful. Can't wait to grind some coffee beans. Cheers.
Once a week I am going with my weird order and these girls remember and the coffee is just delicious! So happy there are a few make a difference of cappuccino and latte! Ps cappuccino with no chocolate does not equal latte, please spread the word. Bowen hills Merlo Saturday shift girls rule! ❤️
consistently good coffee ✅
occasionally a little too hot initially, but YMMV obsvly (mine's always a FW)
nice that they sometimes promote a 'bean of the month' but their usual blend is what keeps me returning, time & again
enjoy!
Undoubtedly the best coffee in Brisbane. The bean varieties provide great varied flavour profiles. The Private Blend has awesome balance. You can't go wrong on anything of the beans really
