About Pikes Perk

Pikes Perk is a friendly coffee shop with a welcoming atmosphere. The staff is super friendly and attentive, even at early hours. The coffee selection is not extensive, but the drinks are decent, with the cappuccino being a highlight. The prices are average to high, but the scenic views of the mountains make up for it. The breakfast sandwiches and Caffe Mocha are also popular choices.

The shop is often busy early in the morning, with long lines that can reach up to 25 people, making it difficult for airline crews and commuters to get their coffee quickly. Many customers suggest opening a second location or creating a separate line for coffee-only orders to improve service. The White mocha espresso is generally good, but the raspberry danish tends to be tough and day-old, and pastry availability can be limited, with more items listed than in stock.

While the staff remains friendly even at 4:30am, some customers feel that the use of a super automatic espresso machine affects the quality of drinks, noting that a nearby Rancillio 2 Group Machine could produce better espresso. Overall, Pikes Perk is a reliable spot for coffee, but improvements in line management, pastry options, and espresso quality could make it even better.
