this cafe used to make my favourite coffee of all time. i would be so excited to visit whenever in town, but in recent times it’s gone insanely downhill. every coffee i’ve had has tasted so weak and is completely milky (also, milk barely aerated). my go to order is a small with an extra shot, and i can’t even begin to imagine what it would taste like with only a single shot. there is only one barista who can make a good coffee and i rarely see her on the machine any more. every other barista i’ve tried is awful. hoping they sort this out

What more can be said that has already been espoused about Merlo coffee? Not much, but it's great anyway. Regardless, the women working the bench on Christmas Eve should be commended. Great and quick service. The coffee was amazing and they never missed a beat.

Best coffee ever. Lauren (Lon) and the whole team are brilliant. So glad the renovations are now complete, as we missed our daily dose of Merlo. Two new machines will assist with the weekend rush, once the staff get used to operating them.

Saturday morning was frenetic! But, the staff were all over it. The ladies were efficient, friendly and made great coffees. I looked at the plethora of ordered ‘lids’ thinking, this would take forever. But, they ‘glided’ through them. Impressive.

Great coffee , seating shaded for summertime , they also have great snacks if you need a quick bite . Situated next to Woolies , a newsagent, fish shop , barber, and bottle shop so you can enjoy a quick coffee before grocery shopping and picking up the winning lotto ticket.
