I felt like having something sweet and yummy and a good coffee. The French slice was delicious and the coffee was great. Merlo coffee is my favourite by far. Service was 5 star and I found a nice table there to sit at and enjoy my afternoon tea.

Always great coffee for many years. Great selection of roasted beans to take home. They continue the fantastic deal of a free coffee when you buy beans too! Lovely staff, small sweet Italian treats to enjoy with your consistently great coffee.

Service with a smile is always a great way to start my day. Handy location right outside Coles, great coffee and really friendly & helpful staff. I do suggest you park on the top level, which always has more available parking, and take the escalator down a few levels to Merlo Coffee. love the seating arrangements, an intimate community vibe without feeling crammed in. You can order takeaway express coffees too. Definitely a place I will head back to whenever I hit the Toowong Mall.
