Service was friendly, prompt and the overall vibe is super Italian old school.

Also offer some goodies like chocolate snacks and gelato! Please support your local businesses !! Lots of regulars on a daily basis !

The menu offers various espresso drinks, tea, sandwiches, and desserts; they also have various packaged snacks and such you could purchase around the counter. We ordered the Latte with almond milk and a Mocha - both were just not drinkable at all - it had an unpleasant bitter and grainy taste to it, and we just couldn't see the hype on this place. Service was friendly, and there were some seating inside as well as some tables in front of the cafe; unfortunately, we just couldn't dine in either option since it just reeked of cigarettes. No dice. Parking available in the lot, but can be tight when full. +avoid the coffees +unpleasant cigarette odors, in- and outside +parking lot available

I stopped in to go and the chai was different from what I've tasted before; hard to explain. I did't like it at first but it grew on me. I wonder if it wasn't well mixed, perhaps, because it was a little stronger at the end. Having a drink to dine in might be nice though. They have a really nice tea. The parking lot though is a mess. This is located in a strip mall right off Lawrence and Oketo so it can quickly get congested, and it's a little tight. But a nice comfortable place to stop if you'd like a coffee or tea.

It's time for the Perkolator. I heard there was an old school vintage coffee shop called The…read morePerkolator. The Perkolator was a song back in the day me and my friends would dance to at the clubs. The atmosphere has an old homey vintage look on the outside and inside. Nothing fancy about this place. It took me back to my childhood. When I walked inside I could feel this is the place where the local neighbors come to engage together to enjoy breakfast and freshly brewed coffee. The menu has a list of breakfast selections, soups, sandwiches, pastries, variety flavors of coffee and lattes. Tee-shirt, hats, mugs and other merchandise items for you to order. Small but a decent size seating area for the customers to seat down and enjoy themselves. Vegetarian, Vegan & Gluten Options and Free Wi-Fi. Front window seating upfront by the window. My one star review breakdown. There were 2 young ladies in front of me placing their orders. I could tell they were regular customers. No problem. As I was waited more than 10 minutes, the conversation between the women became more personal. The lady behind the counter was engaging in a full blown conversation with the 2 women. It wasn't about placing an order. I guess the look on my face said to wrap up the conversation so I could place my order and leave. I ordered a small hot latte $6.09 was my total. Cool paid and stood to the side to wait for my latte. The same 2 women were standing there chatting with the baristas, while she was making the drinks. I was happy that I didn't have to wait long for my latte. I took a sip and instantly was pissed. My latte was not hot and filled with a bunch of foam and not a hint of lavender. I stood there until I got the attention of the baristas. When she noticed that I was looking at her, she instantly gave me a weird look. Excuse me but my latte is not hot and I taste no lavender flavor only a milky foam taste. The attitude was real but she remade it and again I was disappointed. It's Sunday and I really didn't have the time for my energy to be off. Good vibes only in 2026. I won't recommend anyone's time to come here and be disappointed. Very rude and unprofessional workers to have towards new customers or any customers. This place has put a had taste in my mouth literally. Latte $6.00 more foam Poor customer service rude

A group of 20+ of us came in for brunch on a Sunday and everything went well. We thought we were getting placed in a private room since this event was coordinated ahead of time.

Service throughout was great, we were in and out within an hour and 15 mins. Staff members were on top of their game. I had the garden omelette and added cheddar cheese to it. It was pretty good.

A suggestion: While I was intrigued by the sandwich board I had no way to know what the sandwich would look like. Bread? pandora? Ciabatta? 6", 8", 10", 12"... or bread loaf slices? So my suggestion is they get some photos taken or make a few sandwiches wrapped and ready to grab n go. Make one of each and see what sells. I'd use sandwiches as a way to bring in customers who will then purchase a pastry or cookie.. or come back when they need something sweet. sorry, no photos... pastries were gone too fast and they were delicious.

The sizes here are SO much bigger than any other coffee place. The small is the size of a Starbucks grande, the medium is the size of a venti, and a large is almost the size of a big gulp from 7Eleven. The coffee is pretty expensive here, but when you compare the sizes as I did to Starbucks, then it's worth it. The workers are always so sweet and helpful here, and the place always seems clean.
