“There are many choices in the area for casual dining, but most often we choose THIS clean, well-maintained Perkins restaurant. Our favorite 5-star server is Laurie, who remembers us, greets us with a smile and thanks us whenever we show up. The chefs behind the scenes are consistent in every way: quality, preparation, portion, flavors, timing, and accuracy. Staff members work hard to keep the restaurant and bakery clean, well-stocked, and spiffy. You can't go wrong here!“

“So, I’ve had unpredictable bouts of constipation throughout my life. I remember receiving enemas that were meant for elderly individuals when I was 8 or 9. When I attended this restaurant, I haven’t had a bowel movement in around 2-3 days. Previously before that I required stimulant laxatives, which creates muscle contractions to force waste out of your anus. I tried a basic cheeseburger with a side of fries, and a raspberry peach iced tea. As soon as I finished my meal, I felt it. The rumbling that signals such an impending cloud of doom in your stomach, causing your heart to metaphorically drop 50 feet from my chest. I drove home, as I didn’t feel it appropriate to require Perkins to call in a biohazard crew to wall off the women’s restroom. Immediately I rushed down to the toilet, and unleashed hell. 3 days worth of regularly eaten-and-digested goodness exploded out of my bottom like a flood gate- It was indescribable the stench, it could probably harm a small child. Like not normal fecal matter, something radioactive and potent enough to kill a rodent. It was half liquid and half solid as it endlessly exited it’s swollen, dark tomb. I have never felt such relief, and from the most unlikely of places. Thank you, Perkins. May our stars cross again someday when I need to take a giant gorilla dump.“

“There could be a little bit of music playing in the background, to create a little bit more of an atmosphere.

The day old donuts tasted great even when I ate them a day after I bought them. Yum.

Since they open at 5am, you'd better get there quick before they sell out if your favorite.

Skip the trip to Starbucks, because they sell coffee here too!

Lovely little space inside the storefront to browse their selection of pastries.

Cordial staff, ready to gather your selections.

The main entrance is wheelchair accessible, and there are no steps or bumps inside.

There is a free parking lot right across the street, usually has a few open spaces.

The street also has parking spaces along both sides.

Kid-friendliness: Stroller accessible, and kids would probably enjoying coming here to get a treat.

Wheelchair accessibility: The front door is wheelchair accessible, and so is the store inside.“

“The cookies are amazing and delicious! They are a little pricey, but totally worth it! We love to get different cookies and split them so we can all get a taste. The service is quick and easy, and the restaurant is clean. I highly recommend“

“Wow!!! Delicious beyond belief...the case of treats is amazing!!! Quick and friendly service...this local gem deserves all your love!“

“Super service by all servers, especially Byron. The food I have had is always delivered immediately and hot. The kitchen manager, Heather, ensures it is prepared correctly and very presentable. Manager Nancy keeps it flowing nicely. Hostess Designee seats us and takes our drink order. Eat here often and highly recommend it.“

“Excellent meal great rice taste meat is so tender and fresh the kebab taste real good bread unbelievable just try it and you will know what I’m talking about mouth watering food“

“What an exceptionally unique place.

Excellent selection of flavors, although I suspect there may not be much that's "natural" about the colors and flavors.

But for an occasional treat, they are fantastic! No shortage of sweetness, and the texture was to die for.

There are some reviews that mention a less than stellar texture which should only be the case if you wait a day or more to eat them.

I ordered two 10-packs as gifts and a bag of 4 of their "broken" macarons to try.
Day 1: INCREDIBLE.
Day 2: not so incredible. They seemed to dry out quickly. But if you eat same day, I am confident you will not be disappointed!

We will be return customers.“

“I love the quality of goods as well as the prices! It’s my favorite shopping experience! The staff are so helpful and positive! Thank you! Oh, the gas prices rock, too!“

“el original. pan ecuatoriano.con sabor cuenca no....unicolomejor“

“Sandwich’s and desserts at a reasonable price, along with good staff. This place is a gem.“

“Great dinner experience. Has the charming small town feel. Food is fairly priced tasty.

Kid-friendliness: Kids menu.

Wheelchair accessibility: Narrow walk ways so wheelchairs would take up the entire walkway. Door would be difficult to open for wheelchair users and besides the Narrow walkways there is no stairs.“

“I couldn’t love this place more!!! Great atmosphere, meeting room, and a large “kid room” with comfy furniture, toys and books so your kids can play while you enjoy a coffee date with friends! Best of all is their support for addiction recovery. A fabulous coffee shop that gives back to the community! ❤️❤️❤️“

“This place not only has great food & baked goods .They also make amazing cakes for any occasion . Whatever you think this place lacks ,it more then makes up for it in customer service and friendly staff ,that is more then willing to go out of there way to for fill an order . This is truly a hidden gem and more places should aspire to treat customers like this place . (This note I drive over an hour to go here) .“

“I ordered a bee cake and some small desserts for my daughter's birthday, and let me tell you that they were very delicious, I loved them and the design of the cake surprised me a lot, thank you for everything, I loved it ?? Super Recommended.“

“I go to the Bloomington location. Great food and nice staff.“

“The Salted Cake is amazing! We used them for a birthday cake recently and they knocked it out of the park! The cake looked beautiful and tasted fantastic! My only regret was that we didn’t get a picture before devouring it! We’ll definitely be using them for any future cake needs!“

“Took advantage of the 2x$1.00 churro sale today. OMG my staff and I loved them! They were hot, big, and sweet �. Totally satisfying! The lady behind the counter was super friendly! If you want deliciousness in your mouth, head over to Durango Bakery! ��“

“We had these for staff appreciation week at school ................ they were AMAZING! I wanted one of each flavor!“

“It’s a chill place to get boba and sweet deserts. I underestimated it at first but I was proven wrong. Customer service was nice and chill and the food were really good. I have a pic of the drink I got but it’s dark so it’s not a good quality pic.

Parking: Parking is standard. Nothing crazy but it’s good.

Kid-friendliness: The atmosphere is cute and friendly so kids won’t be scared.“

“Great for antisocial socials as you barely need to interact with the restaurant folk! Order and pay with the tablet, and pick up your food from the counter. It's cafeteria-style with plenty of seating. Really adored the vibes of this place. Very homey! The food was good, but on the expensive side for banh mi. Look to spend $25+ per person if you're getting a sandwich, a side and a drink.“

“Enjoyed the Salmon Avocado Wrap for lunch?“

“Recent given a bag of these. Super convenient that they came frozen so that we could bake them whenever we wanted. The sprinkle and coffee toffee cookies were AMAZING. Obviously homemade and delicious! Seriously can’t wait to treat myself to more“

“Went to pick a birthday cookie cake. Decent size and very affordable. Good thing I paid online for it. I had two other items to purchase and only one lane was open and the line was ridiculous. The self checkout lanes were outrageously long.“

“Inside the Maplewood Mall on the 2nd floor by the food court. Nice and fast service.Not a long wait. Just grabbed a 6 pack regular size rolls for $23.99.They do charge for extra frosting cup of a dollar each, which I feel is a little pricey. But overall it wasn't a bad experience and there was no wait time.“

“My sister and I went there for Thanksgiving 11/28/24. It was really busy, and a little short handed. But I can tell you that all of the staff handled it very well. We had the most amazing waitress who was always checking on us. To the cooks working so hard with a full restaurant and only 2 cooks did an awesome job.
This Perkins should be so proud of the staff they have.“

“I love their pretzels so much that even a slow or negative employee experience I would probably still rate them 5 stars. This time i had a great experience all the way around. food was hot and fast, employees were friendly. I am sure I will be back.“

“I love the Blaine location! Super nice employees, attentive, and have been super patient with me when I have forgot my pick up order a few times lol. We have used them for every work or holiday celebration and their cakes are always a hit. 10/10 recommend!! ❤️“

“Kind woman helped us- best peanut butter cookie I’ve ever had! Highly recommend“
