The pistachio croissant was the best of the bunch in terms of flavor, but it was still just mediocre. The almond croissant lacked flavor.

This place is super cute! There are plenty of tables around to sit at (one large one, and multiple…read moresmaller tables too) and there's also a couch area. And for those of us that are laptop users, there are plenty of plugs to go around too. I took both a cappuccino and an iced latte and both were excellent. I talked to the barista a little too and he told me that you can ask for a stronger tasting espresso since their espresso machine allows them to customize the resulting flavor. Basically, if you want a bitter flavor or a milder one, you can tell them and they will be easily able to achieve it (it sounded way better when he explained it to me though...) Also, all their coffees can be made cold so if you have a hankering for something cold, you have plenty of choices. Another thing that I thought was super cute was that they sell earplugs at the cash! I think it's adorable and useful for those days where you forget your earphones and don't want to hear others around you. I will definitely be coming back to Perko Cafe :)

Did I mention that Robert and his wife Patty appeared on Slice Network's reality TV show "Cake Walk" (Season 1 Episode 1)?

I've been grabbing cakes from here for a while and they're always a hit!…read more The cakes are nice and moist without being too sweet, though the buttercream can be a bit much for some. I've also tried most of the pastries and they're just as good as the cakes. My favorite is the coffee éclair, it's light, airy and sweet. Honestly, I like it more than the classic éclair. The coffee flavor just takes it up a notch. The icing on top can be a little sweet on its own, but it balances out well with the whole éclair. I always grab one or two when I'm in the area. The lemon raspberry cake is another favorite. It's light with just a hint of tartness, and the poppy seeds in the cake are a nice touch. The zeppoles are perfectly light, not greasy, and just sweet enough. I've also had the vanilla and caramel cake, and it's super soft and moist. The buttercream is on the sweeter side, but it goes really well with the cake. Black forest cake is lightly sweetened and I feel like I can eat a huge slice without it being overwhelming. Overall, this bakery is awesome, with a ton of variety. They've got baked goods, sandwiches, salads, and more. Definitely worth checking out!

Every location I went to was full but the line goes by quickly. This specific location is in old Montreal so if you're doing sightseeing it's a great spot to chill. The cafe crema is insane. The texture and flavor of this is something I've never had before. The coffee flavor is strong but not offensively strong. Even if you're not a fan of coffee I'd still suggest you try it. The affogato was lovely with the espresso and gelato mixing it creates that lovely icy texture on the outside. It is more pricey so I'd say the safe crema is the way to go.

Even at that ungodly hour, there were already two locals and a dog chatting with the patron--always a good sign of a neighborhood favorite. Can't complain at all.

Almost every nook and corner was instagrammable and gave off vintage vibes. We ordered the croissant, ginseng latte and a Cortado. The croissant was good but it would have helped if they had warmed it up for us. The Cortado was nice and strong and gave the kick to survive the rest of the evening. The ginseng latte was out of this world. It kind of tasted like a birthday cake in a cup with just the right amount of sweetness. The service was a bit chaotic though since there was a bit of the rush, but regardless, we had a great experience and loved the aesthetics of this cafe. 10/10 recommend.
