Merit Coffee Is Opening on South Lamar, Stonehouse Coffee Is Closing | Eater Austin

"San Antonio–based Merit Coffee is taking over the Zilker space starting Monday, February 11; this will be the company’s second Austin location. Its menu will remain the same, featuring coffee, espresso, teas, and juices, and Merit South Lamar’s hours will be 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. Bakery Lorraine will provide baked goods like pop tarts and Tacodeli will supply tacos for food service. The founders Robby and Neesha Grubbs, plus partner and CFO Bill Ellis, opened Merit’s first Austin location in January 2018 in the Seaholm District after originally opening as Local Coffee and changing the name in December 2017." - Nadia Chaudhury
