Quality is hit or miss (high turn over rate? bad management?). Subpar customer service and over priced. Better Buzz is a couple of blocks away, great option with more consistency.

Love, love this bar. Great drinks, friendly bar tenders, and a wonderful ambiance. A night place to have a get together with friends and/or watch any game. Parking can be tricky sometimes, but I've always enjoyed my time when at this bar. The owners are super nice and makes you feel like you're part of the family.

Asked for soy milk due to an allergy — proceeded to watch the guy make it with normal milk instead. I get people make mistakes but now I’m stuck wasting $4 on something I can’t really drink.

Not bad they have plenty of options but you would be better off going to a different cafe.

Service is good, coffee is as well depending on who makes it. Sometimes it's too milked or watered down or the cup is half full.

They have left AND right twix.

My favorite of the Perk Bars on campus! Tends to be a little less hectic than the others in my experience!
William Dornbach
Great quick stop for snacks or coffee between classes.
It's alright. I feel like all of the coffee bars in campus are the same without much to differentiate them. Exceptions being Iveta and McHenry (which is managed by Cafe Brasil). It's nothing amazing. Taste like run of the mill Sysco products. Staff tends to be nice and you can use your flexi's here.

No healthy food choices. They run out of pastries in the middle of the day. There is an urgent need for more dining options on campus. End the monopoly on campus food choices!!

As you'd expect at UCSC, the Perk Coffee Bar has several delicious vegan snack option including a hummus cucumber sandwich and a tofu wrap.

Nice place to sit and study (option of tables or comfy chairs). Mellow music usually playing and good WiFi signal too.

Their Sticky Buns are like pure shots of sugar. Super delicious caramel mixed in with pecans and cinnamon. Not recommended as a breakfast item, but if you want a sugar high..
