We really love Perks coffee and food options! However, several times we have ordered the gluten free bread options and the audible comments about how much of a burden and frustrating they are to make have turned us away.

Very weak espresso. Tastes like they may need to get their machine serviced. Their milk is all behind the counter so you have to ask for it, which is inconvenient and makes the baristas job harder. Would be very easy to have oat and milk in a carafe on the sugar table. Would also like to see their coffee prices reflect the quality of the brew…$6 for a 4 shot americano is insane. You can get one for $4 in central richmond cafes. The rotating baked goods are ok; I’ve tried several and they were quite dry. They do have interesting flavors which is fun (Ube).
Other than that zero complaints. Wonderful queer-friendly atmosphere, handmade goods for sale, and local-advocacy vibes.

one of my favorite coffee shops!! they are so kind and accommodating, it's decorated beautifullly, and great food and drinks. my favorite thing to do is order whatever the baristas have created and written on the chalkboard outside 💕

Good food, good tea, and great vibes

A very quaint cafe- but it can get crowded! I really enjoyed the raspberry breakfast cake- but the caramel latte lacked a distinct caramel flavor. The baristas were fast and efficient! Also very fair prices for baked goods!

I’m not sure why this place has such good reviews. My boyfriend and I went here for the first time on a Saturday morning for breakfast and had an awful experience: the staff wasn’t friendly at all, after walking in my boyfriend and I weren’t acknowledged by any staff and we stood awkwardly at the register for 5 minutes while the cashier went on and on with another worker having a personal conversation; it wasn’t until they started typing on the tablet, I’m guessing to invite me to order, that I greeted them to have my order taken (which they were very unfriendly and told me our total to pay then walked away). We decided to only order coffees to get out of there as soon as possible: I ordered an iced cherry blossom latte and my boyfriend ordered the shaken sunrise. The latte had no cherry flavor at all and it was still warm- which made the ice melt very quickly and watered it down. My boyfriend’s drink wasn’t impressive either and we didn’t finish them. For $7 a drink, poor customer service and claustrophobic decor- I would never come back here.

Definitely my favorite cafe in the area. the staff is super friendly and cool and the atmosphere is inclusive and fun. I've loved every drink and treat I've gotten from here but I especially recommend the vegan biscotti!!

Perk! is great! We love having them here in Bon Air. Try the amazing banana brownie. 👌🏼

Great pastries and a nice selection of plant based options
My favourite local coffee shop. Great vegan bakery options. I work in the area and come here every Monday morning. A few of the baristas know me by name, which I think is very sweet! Breakfast is always delicious and coffee is top notch.

I stopped by for a quick coffee while running errands. It looked really busy from outside but they were very much on top of things. Quick delightful service and a delicious cup of their roastology.

We stopped in for coffee after lunch nearby. Loved the ambiance of the place and the coffee was excellent. Efficient, pleasant baristas. Very comfortable atmosphere.

The food and owners/staff are all so friendly here! And the scones ... sooo good!
