9 Best Coffee Shops in Merrillville

“The coffee is great and the staff are so friendly and they makes the perfect cup of coffee“

I recently had an absolutely wonderful experience thanks to the barista, Alexis, at this Starbucks location. With my kids constantly changing their minds, ordering can be chaotic, but Alexis was incredibly friendly and patient, never once rushing me. That level of calm and kindness made our visit totally stress-free.
​What truly sets Alexis apart, though, is her amazing attention to detail. While I was waiting, I watched her interact with other customers, and she provided fantastic service for everyone. Best of all, she caught an error on my own order: she noticed I didn't get the foam on my protein drink and immediately made sure it was added. She then double-checked that I had every item in my bag before handing it over.
​Alexis embodies everything I remember and love about Starbucks baristas. The coffee tasted like it was genuinely made with love, and the service was the best I've had anywhere. We love Starbucks, and employees like Alexis (and the fun messages on the cups!) are exactly why we keep coming back. Thank you, Alexis, for making our morning!“

“Hey love you guys! Hooked on the medicine ball tea! Why is everyone out of the teas to make it?? Don’t get it has become my go to drink. I have allergies and sinus issues it soothes my throat and I am addicted but can’t get it anywhere locally. What’s the deal?“

“My son Tyler has been coming here for us and Krissy the owner is AMAZING!!!! She is very knowledgeable about her products and is a very sweet person. We love the shakes and teas. We can't wait to start trying out some of the other products Legacy has to offer too. Thanks for making us feel special every time we come here!!!“

“Love the pumpkin cold brew“

“Just moved out here from Lansing and this is my go-to dunkin spot! My coffee's are always made on point, staff is always very friendly and polite, and the prices are amazing here! And it is always clean and well taken care of! Out of all the dunkins in the area this is the one I always come to thank you for making me feel back at home during this move and rough time in my life!“

“Cayli- is by far one of the most pleasant people I have run across in society. She also goes above and beyond to be helpful when needed. It is nice to see her greet with a smile with the brief interaction we have from time to time. Thank you!“

“Clean and good customer service. The food was good and service was fast. Nice place.“
