Coffee is coffee right?! I thought so until I ordered an Americano with the whisky infused beans. I took a sip as I was walking out the door and turned right back around to buy a bag of beans. I am here again today. Dillon was friendly and fantastic and I will be back

A Perfectly Adequate Coffee Stop: Perk Cafe
​Stepping into Perk Cafe provides a perfectly coffee experience. It’s a clean, functional establishment that serves its primary purpose without fanfare, making it a reliable but unexciting spot for a quick caffeine fix.
​The coffee is regular. I ordered a drip coffee and found it to be completely average—not bad, but certainly not memorable. The flavor was what you'd expect from any run-of-the-mill coffee shop, lacking any distinctive notes or high-quality characteristics that would make you rush back for a second cup. It's perfectly drinkable, but it won't excite a coffee enthusiast.
​The primary drawback for me was the paucity of food options. There were no cookies, pastries, which is a significant miss for a place where many patrons might want a small treat alongside their beverage. If you're looking for an afternoon pick-me-up or a light breakfast, you'll need to look elsewhere.
​Overall, Perk Cafe is a very neutral experience. The service was prompt, the atmosphere was generic but comfortable, and the coffee got the job done. It's a place you stop at when you need coffee now, not when you're seeking a unique, high-quality, or memorable cafe visit.
​ Stars
​Pros: Clean, functional, reliable coffee.
Cons: Very limited food/snack options, unremarkable coffee flavor

hands down my favorite cafe ever! it is the best environment to get work done and each and every worker is so sweet! not a big fan of coffee but love their matcha and teas. they have a great selection of pastries but i love their nutella banana bread. everything was super clean, the music is great, the shop itself is super cozy and warm welcoming.

The coffee tastes great.

I was in a rush to catch the train, and the man at the register picked up on it, which I appreciated.

What I did not appreciate was him assuming I worked at the hospital as a nurse. Why a nurse and not a doctor? Comments like this may seem small, but they’re microaggressions — and unfortunately, they happen often. It’s disappointing to encounter them even in a local coffee shop.

The coffee is very good. I don’t think I’ll go again though. I normally go to this cafe to read my book on weekend morning to relax. And there is this guy, the barista’s friend(?) who comes in and talks very loud and also talks about politics. It’s like he has no awareness that it’s a cafe and other people are trying to enjoy coffee in a quiet place. He would talk at least 1-2hours. Just very annoying. The barista doesn’t do anything but talks very loud back to him. So… I’ll just skip this place if you want a quiet nice environment.
