    Delicious XL Brownie
    C S.

    I really wanted to like this place....The location is a beautiful, large build out on Main Street attached to the market...Serving a small selection of wine and beer, in house bakery, crepes and sandwiches!!! The menu was basic and nothing appealing from the LED menu...high, high up! The crepe I ordered was extremely cold and then had to wait 15 minutes for utensils, upon receipt the fork was dirty...after that it's just not worth eating!! The cafe had a steady customer level, but not busy I couldn't understand why the staff was so dis engaged and rude. Definitely not a place I would go back to.

    Our collection of retired Army Pilots & Aircrew (CT Army National Guard & mostly Vietnam Vets) continues to hold court at Perk On Main at 10AM every 2nd Sunday of the month. The crepes, omelets, & various breakfast sandwiches are always well prepared & served promptly. Many thanks to Katie Hughes-Nelson and her team for another great year at the Perk! We'll be there later this morning!

    A mimosa with fresh squeezed OJ and a fancy creamy latte with sprinkles!
    Chelsea D.

    I've been here several times over the last few years and I gotta say they are consistent! I always get a crepe (a gluten free crepe I might add) and it's made the same every time with fresh ingredients. The OJ is great plain or in a mimosa. My husband has celiacs and hasn't had an issue. They always bring the gf stuff on blue plates and also repeat that it's gf when they lay it down. It can get a bit crazy in here at times so be sure to stay close by to get your drinks yourself. They will bring the food to you but also pay attention bc sometimes it's hard to see the signs they give you at the table. Just be attentive and please please please clean up after yourself. This isn't a sit down restaurant. It's a cafe and in cafes you pick up after yourself.

    Tons of flavors for drinks
    Allan Q.

    Today I tried the "frozen perk" which is their take on a Frappuccino. They give a ton of options on what to add in your frozen perk, but I asked the cashier which one was the best one and she told me about the special cookie butter flavor. I mixed this with chocolate so i essentially had a chocolate chip cookie in Frappuccino form. Needless to say it was delicious, and to me it tastes better than any starbucks frappucino I've had. Highly recommend.

    breakfast sandwich & avocado toast
    Morgan B.

    One of my absolute favorite cafes EVER. I would drive (and have driven) 40+ minutes just to have brunch at Perk on Main. The cafe has so much seating (with some outlets nearby, which is a huge plus!) The staff are all super friendly, even when the place is busy. The espresso drinks I've had here have been absolutely perfect every time, and the sweet and savory breakfasts have all been great as well. Prices are relatively fair/comparable to similar cafes I've been to. Street parking is also quite cheap ($1/hour if I remember correctly) and I have never struggled to find a parking space. Honestly, I cannot recommend this cafe enough - I have introduced so many friends to it and everyone has loved it. If you're nearby, or even if you're not, consider stopping by. They have breakfast, lunch, pastries, smoothies, coffees... really all of the best options... so everyone should be able to find something here that works for them.

    Very yummy, fresh ingredients! A little pricier than a quick bite but that's what you should expect from fresh. Looking forward to going back to try more options but the crepe (the New Classic) and the smoothie (the Fat Tire) I got were delicious and great portions! It was pretty busy, set up like a cafe and would be a nice spot to sit and work for a bit. It's in a shopping center on Main Street; the one thing I really didn't like was that the bathroom didn't have a changing table...I had to change my two week old on paper towels laid on the bathroom floor.

    Great little convenient coffee shop. Different flavors of coffee always freshly brewed and delicious smoothies where you can see the fruit being pressed beneath your nose! The aromas make your mouth water and the prices are decent

    Pumpkin Spice Iced Chai
    Sarah N.

    Perk is very hit-or-miss. Today, it was both. I like the online ordering system they added, and the service was quick. I really enjoyed the Pumpkin Spice Iced Chai, and I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't too sweet. On the other hand, I wasn't a huge fan of the crepe. It was crispy and overcooked; the filling was not distributed evenly so I ate the entire first half of the crepe without reaching any banana/berries. I also didn't like their peanut butter which was disappointing as someone who LOVES peanut butter and eats it on a daily basis. I imagine Perk would be a great place to study and grab a beverage because there's free wifi and it's spacious with lots of background noise if you're someone who needs noise. It's not a place to come if you're looking for amazing food.

    Savory crepe with hash browns
    Lisa L.

    Loved this place for meeting a friend on a Saturday morning for breakfast. Depending on what time you get t her, it might be a bit difficult to get a table because they don't rush you out - which i appreciated. You order from the counter and they bring it to your table. Got a coffee, a savory crepe and a scone to bring home for hubby. The cranberry scone may have been one of the best ever - love that they don't put a sugary glaze all over it. Parking is metered in the back lot but a few hours was only a few bucks so it's so much easier than trying to find a free spot somewhere. FYI - the bathrooms are down the hall and you need a code to get in so grab the code before you walk down the hall.

    Modern and casual

    Located in the Main Street Market is Perk on Main. We stopped in for breakfast and to try their crepes. We weren't disappointed and they came with the most amazing potatoes. The coffee was strong and rich flavored. They are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. They have a variety at teas and desserts-something for everyone. The restaurant is clean and modern. They have a nice sidewalk section. The staff is super friendly. Prices are fair. We're not usually out for breakfast but when we do go out again, like Arnold, "we'll be back. "

    Drink menu, fresh pastries and place to order.
    Lindsay N.

    The space of Perk On Main is amazing! So spacious with many areas to dine, inside and out for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It's conveniently located on Main Street with easy access from the large Melilli Parking Lot. The inside was a mood with dark ceilings, red walls for a pop of color, dark tables and decor and the cast of natural light beaming from the windows. We stopped in for a quick coffee and snack. There was an overwhelming list of fresh food items from crepes, smoothie bowls, burgers, salads and so much more. Their fresh baked goods presented in front at the counter looked delicious. The staff was also very knowledgeable of the baked items and very quick making our drinks We got a huge slide of Cranberry Oat Bar. To wash it down, I got a black iced coffee with raspberry flavoring and my mom who was with got an iced latte with nutty maple. The cranberry oat bar was crumbly and delicious, large enough to share. My mom loved her nutty maple latte, a flavor you don't normally see at coffee shops. My black iced coffee was okay. The coffee was light, but they went heavy on the raspberry syrup made it taste way too artificial. I love berry flavor coffees, but this one wasn't for me. I would definitely try a different coffee flavor or tea next time. I love that they had many grab & go items, fresh nut butters, bags of coffee, and local chocolate. It was like a mini market since the counter and refrigerators were set in the back of the cafe. I can see us returning to try Perk On Main's crepes and lunch items because everyone's plates looked delicious. I also need to try a different coffee or drink next time.

    Caesar Salad
    Charlotte P.

    We love Perk on Main from the fun open atmosphere and the great view of Main Street to the friendly staff. A nice touch when you order is the cute street sign names you put on your table so the wait staff can deliver the goods. We love the crepes, smoothies, cappuccinos, breakfast burritos, cookies. You name it they do it well. They offer both savory and sweet crepes. Even burgers and salads if you aren't feeling their specialties. We eat in we order and it's always great. Highly recommend their amazing cookies as well perfect balance of soft and crispness. Love the Isabelle for a sweet crepe and you can't miss with the Popeye. Most of the breakfast dishes come with home fries and some fresh fruit. Cappuccinos though are my favorite in big oversized cups so comforting. Definitely check out for casual brunch on Main Street.

    This is a (literal) hidden gem, tucked inside the Middletown Market-- this is an eco-friendly, support-small business savvy spot that features classic open seating, a cute aesthetic, amazing smoothies, and more. They also won "Best Soup in Middletown" so be sure to grab a bowl if possible! The servers are friendly and informative, and this is a great spot for studying, meeting friends, or even grabbing a quick bite on the way to work!

    Is this somewhere where I can go, eat and study for a few hours???? Need a spot for school work away from home during COVID

    For sure! Haven't been here since Covid hit, but pre-Covid times, this cafe was an ideal study spot. Free, fast Wi-Fi, very laid back staff that don't hassle you and a bathroom code for the toilet break, very comfortable tables and chairs for study!

    Absolutely fantastic savory crepes: I had the vegetarian lover crepe while my dining partner had…read morethe crab crepe. We both greatly enjoyed our crepes: they made for a quick and relatively healthy breakfast. The vegetarian crepe had incredibly fresh veggies including spinach, beans and edamame, delicate, spongy and flavourful tofu, and swirls of lovely savory (Sriracha?) mayo. The crepes were also beautifully presented and I couldn't resist photographing my crepe. For dessert, I got a scoop of the salted caramel gelato, which had the perfect amount of sweetness. All in all, I was highly impressed with the flavour, quality and presentation of what I had tried. The restaurant is conveniently located on Main Street, and there was plenty of parking on a weekday morning. The seating area was clean, and the establishment also had a range of savory and sweet snacks, including green tea chocolate truffles, and Japanese "black" coffee bars. There was also a make-it-yourself cotton candy machine that we did not manage to try. The people at the counter (the same people making the crepes) were polite and generally pleasant. Overall, highly recommend a visit if you're in Middletown.

My sister opted for the Strawberry Banana Nutella Crepe and she said hers was delicious as well! I'm looking forward to coming back and trying a savory crepe!

Good break to take a short stroll outside while waiting. The store was full with many people waiting, mostly students. One Crêpe can be shared by two medium built people after dinner because it's very filling. The chocolate nut party was a party in my mouth- gelato was good, mouse truffles were great, nuts were sufficient and the Crêpe itself very fresh. The syrup on the gelato was avoidable. Pocky sticks are fun too. Definitely going to be back here to try the savory versions, and I wish they open a store near Hartford.
