Delicious tasting coffee at 3 pm on a Saturday. Hard find fresh. Staff is friendly and warm as well as the coffee. I drove from Bethlehem to hear. Beautiful ride and worth the drive here. It smelled really yummy in there : waffles and crepes and pastries. I just needed real fresh coffee. Worth it! Hot coffee and Fresh Coffee. Just around the corner from the circle. Support Local.

Food was meh. Brewed coffee was unremarkable. Service was...ok. Ambiance was ok, a little too loud on the house music with an empty space, and there were several flies buzzing around. Limited options for food and no options for condiments, etc. (no creamer out had to ask for it, no hot sauce, no salt and pepper). Price seemed like NYC prices. Nothing about the experience was memorable. With all the positive reviews I had high hopes of this place and it does have potential.

We are life long locals and just stopped in to Perla. We will definitely be back! The coffee was fresh and wonderful. I had a pumpkin spice latte and was delicious and not overpowering. My wife had a spiced maple iced macchiato and loved it. We also had a power on and veggie quesadilla and they were packed with food and flavor. Inside decor is spot on for this type of business! Loved it and we will be back!

Just stopped in for my first time- really cute place and nice seating with tables and chairs, but also a comfy couch with a coffee table- even two little tables outside. I just got a snack: a drip coffee and a chocolate almond croissant. The coffee was very good but the croissant, which are homemade every morning, was decadent! So rich and buttery, filled with chocolate and topped with toasted almonds. They even offered to heat it up a little, which made the chocolate like liquid gold! Looking over the menu, I will definitely be back for breakfast and lunch. I saw what other customers were getting as sandwiches and I was drooling!! They even have a coffee club where you can earn a free cup of coffee! Plus, the service was great and the staff/owners couldn't have been more friendly. You need to come!!

Came in and ordered a coffee crumb cake, a lobster tail, and a spinach pinwheel thing. The crumb cake was ok, and the lobster tail was stale and had an unexpected cardamom flavor which I usually love, but didn't this time. The spinach pastry was very delicious though, just make sure it's warmed throughly. I took my snacks to go, but there was a cute seating area.

My best friend and I ate here for lunch one day and overall we had a good time! This café boasts a chic yet cozy atmosphere which appears to reminisce on Eurocentric aesthetics, and provides food options not common in the area. I ate the vegetarian caprese and though it was appetizing, for a vegetarian option I wish it would be more substantial for the price of about 12 dollars. I left still hungry unfortunately and wasn't willing to pay for something else to fill me up. I would perhaps re-visit to try something else however I do wish, given the nature of the ingredients, that the caprese sandwich had more of an emphasis on it's main ingredients, and less emphasis on how much bread and arugula it contained. Service was standard and efficient though nothing exceptional (though that is what is expected from a cafe as opposed to a full service restaurant). Overall - Good!

The menu is in the sweet spot! It has just enough items with uncommon names, yet familiar food combinations. The service is fast and personal. I love being able to see my food being prepared in an organized, clean kitchen!

If you're looking for a coffee, dessert or quick bite Perla is the spot! The ambiance and design are beautiful, really makes you feel at home!

thank god this town opened a coffee shop, my sister and i just left. the place is an adorable, cozy, and small shop. saw on the menu a bunch of brunch like food. when ordering two espresso drinks we were shocked by how great the prices were. like our two drinks were less then ten dollars. please stay open our area needs this.
A little gem in the heart of Brodheadsville! It seems that many eateries in this area are hit or miss. This is a big hit! Staff is absolutely great. They are welcoming, warm and very hospitable. The food speaks for itself. The paninis are amazing. I have tried half the menu and I'm looking forward to the rest! The menu is limited but everything is worth it. The coffee is fresh and delicious. The seating areas are nice and cozy. Desserts are mouthwatering! My final word on this great place is mmmmmmmm!

Little gem on Rt 209. Limited menu but everything is delicious and healthy. Ambience very comfy and the owners very friendly.

Exactly what our area needed. A very nice Coffee & Eatery. This place is so relaxing , table inside and out, if you need to bring your laptop or cell phone, all tables inside have electrical sockets. They serve from Hot and or Cold Coffee, breakfast until 11am, paninis, pastries, and dessert. The owner and girls working here are so friendly and out going. I believe this will be my favorite place to go, to read a book and have a nice specialty coffee.
