Loved my Americano. Not all coffee is the same and this is place centeainly better than Starbucks. Not sure how they compare to Ground Swell coffee which is in the same neighborhood.

The Perfect Cup is the most cozy third space in this neck of Ravenswood; I often refer to it as my second living room. On any given day, there will be people quietly working, conversing, or tutoring in French since the French school is nearby. The jazz music heard overhead is the perfect backdrop to all of it. The staff are all very friendly and accommodating, sometimes making rounds to the tables to make sure everyone has what they need. I hope The Perfect Cup never changes (other than rotating art on the walls). She's perfect just as is.

love this lil shop! staff is helpful & quick but not rushed, appreciate that tax is included on the listed menu prices, & their lattes have an espresso-forward flavor that’s hard to find other places without getting a double shot

If you’re looking for a cozy spot with incredible coffee and warm, genuine service, this coffee house is an absolute gem!! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by the comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the friendly energy of the staff.
What truly sets this place apart, though, is the outstanding service. Every member of the team goes above and beyond to make you feel at home, but Anne deserves a special mention. Her welcoming smile and caring nature instantly brighten your day. She takes the time to remember regulars names and favorite drinks, and her attention to detail makes each visit feel personal and memorable.
In short, this isn’t just a coffee house, it’s a place that warms your heart as much as your cup. Highly recommended for anyone who appreciates great coffee, friendly people, and genuine hospitality.

I stop by A Perfect Cup every day on my way to work. Anne, Rob, and their team are amazing people who give me a little pick-me-up (and not just because of the caffeine!) and remind me what a lovely neighborhood this is to live in. A neighborhood gem!

I've been coming to the Perfect Cup regularly since moving to the neighborhood in 2012. What keeps me coming back is the food (turkey panini is so good), coffee, and service. It has two large rooms (and in-season outside seating) so there's almost always a place to sit, even on busy weekends. I highly recommend this neighborhood gem.

Love the warm and friendly atmosphere at Perfect Cup. A great place to relax and enjoy delicious coffee and pastries. Their almond croissants and cinnamon scones are the best.
Perfect Cup is one of my favorite coffee spots! Anne and her team are so kind and welcoming to the community and it's so cool to have a local spot like this in the neighborhood. They have great food, but the coffee is my favorite. I love to put on a pair of headphones on the couch and work, read or vibe.

Pleasant vibe except the coffee is not good if you like good coffee. And the people working there maybe are kind of not nice?
