Matcha was great! And the attention to detail and service spectacular. It is a quaint shop.

I enjoy the London Fog Latte (and sometimes the Dirty one for an extra caffeine boost). Thank you Lenny!

The ambiance of this coffee shop is amazing. I love the little wooden games at some of the tables. My family and I prefer their coffee over other coffee shops in the area! The customer service was excellent, they were very patient with our large coffee order :) what a wonderful addition to Frenchtown!

Called to see if they were open on Thanksgiving, the owner answered and told us he wasn’t but he’ll make us some coffees. Had a wonderful conversation he’s the nicest guy! Coffee was delicious.

Quiet place with good coffee and a lovely atmosphere. They always have music playing with a good sound system. Great place to sit and get some work done.

Wonderful find! The hot apple cider/ pumpkin ice cream was exactly what I was looking for on my fall outing. Husband had the mocha iced latte was so flavorful. Price was very affordable 🍂

I went in there on whim yesterday and ordered a Golden milk chai latte with pumpkin spice was absolutely amaaazing! Woow! I’ve actually never tried gluten free chocolate chips and honestly this was the best cookie I’ve ever had and I have a deep love for sweets. We also tried the hummus salad. It was a great little app to split btwn two. The hummus was nice and thick, it came with bread,cucumbers,carrots, celery and olives. Great price point as well.
Not really a lunch place. Very limited selection (and high priced for portion size!). Might be ok for ice cream or coffee.

It's unusual for me (and I suspect most others) to go to a coffeehouse and have a negative experience. They practically specialize in good vibes, and they're giving you caffeine, often in a big mug - what could go wrong? This was an odd visit. For the sake of the primarily tourist contingent (every single person who came in while I was there was from out of town), I hope it was an aberration, but it was heavy on mediocrity and light on execution.
I stopped by yesterday (Thursday) in the mid-afternoon for a latte and a light bite during a quick cameo appearance in the Kingdom of Hunterdon. Full disclosure - I grew up one town over in Milford, so I'm very familiar with this area and there's honestly a reason why locals tend to avoid the Frenchtown downtown area like the plague. It can get very congested, especially on the summer weekends, and it's full of overpriced tourist traps. In some ways I'd argue it's worse than the more famous Lambertville to the south because it's not nearly as big as that town so everything is just condensed into about three blocks worth of insanity.
Perfect Day is located in that cute corner of Bridge St where it turns in toward Route 12 and becomes Race St, on the former site of Buck's. Despite the fact that it wasn't even the weekend yet, the town was pretty bustling and a number of tourists were milling about. When I walked in, there were no other customers but that seems to have just been luck - a line of three or four people materialized shortly after I sat down, and there was never another time when I had the place to myself. So at the very least, it's getting a ton of foot traffic; it must be a madhouse in a nice Saturday.
The man behind the counter (who bore a strong resemblance to character actor Saul Rubinek) was friendly to me and everyone else who came in, but unfortunately didn't seem to have much of a barista skillset or customer service background. I ordered a rose latte, along with a blueberry crumb cake-like pastry at his recommendation. The rose latte didn't contain any rose flavoring (he'd clearly forgotten it), and the crumb cake was just okay, a bit on the dry side. I think it would have been significantly better if it had been warmed up; arguably that's on me for not suggesting it, but he also didn't provide it as an option, which I think a coffee place should be doing with those types of baked goods. Also a little odd (not necessarily a negative), but when I was asked for the size of my latte, small or large, and picked small, I was told it came in the same cup as a large. That strikes me as a pretty obvious inventory addition/upgrade - why would you want the optic of a coffee mug that doesn't look full?
The other weird part of this was the interior of the coffee place. I actually assumed based on my visit that this was a VERY new establishment because it didn't look completely unpacked/moved in. There were plenty of obligatory set pieces that you'd associate with a coffee place, including local art on the walls and a random typewriter on a table, but there was also a pile of magazines under a chair. That just looked sloppy. There were a few areas like that with items that just hadn't been put away, which wasn't the best optic. The bathroom could be a potential issue for them too. Per my attached picture, I didn't even realize until I'd used the facilities that the window was completely open and there was an unobscured view should a peeping tom have been lurking nearby. Hopefully my activities were unnoticed.
The price point is actually pretty good, given what you're offered and the area. My total came to $14, which included the latte, the pastry and a $7 greeting card (which means the piece of cake and latte only would have been $7 total; it's not unusual to encounter a $7 latte by itself in this day and age). That'

Perfect Dat cafe is now my go to coffee place when I am in Frenchtown. Their coffee is exceptionally tasty and the staff are very welcoming and friendly. Nice laid back atmosphere. But the coffee is the best. Prices are reasonable too.

A cute little cafe with a lot of character. The coffee is excellent and there are some really interesting, unique drinks to choose from. I can't eat many of the pastries, but they frequently have a fantastic gluten free chocolate chip cookie that I try to get whenever I come in. Everything else in the pastry case looks great! There's also very reasonably priced ice cream! Don't come here if you're in a huge rush, but if you can take your time and smell the coffee, definitely check it out.
