This place is always busy yet the staff remain calm, collected and friendly. Never had a bad coffee from here either… I normally avoid chains, but this Merlo is the exception. There’s a fair few coffee options at Orion, but this place is the best!

Busy but a relaxing wait. Friendly staff. Love their coffee and chocolate cookie. We buy their beans too. On Mondays Orion does free coffee by scanning the QR code. Merlo is one of the retailers where you can redeem your free coffee.

Merlo is my go to coffee shop and I love their coffee! However, would recommend changing their opening hours if they are going to close early all the time! Drove 15 minutes today specially to get a Coffee from Merlo. Arrived at 4.40 and they had closed up shop already! Website says they close at 5pm. Second time this has happened!

Have visited this coffee shop many times. Have found it to be one of the better Merlo cafe's. Today our coffee's were a tad bitter or burnt unfortunately. The service is usually very fast even if they are flat out, which is usually the case. There is limited seating & the cafe is mainly takeaway
