I've only been to this location once since it's a bit of a trek from my house, but I absolutely loved it when I went back in February. It's in a bit of an odd location in this almost down looking brick building, once inside there is a front area with couches and some board games which is where we hung out with our friends and played an intense game of Jenga. The area near all the coffee and tea action had more tables and seating options if I remember correctly. They had a great variety of teas and coffees and more than one person in our party said it was the best tea/coffee they have had in awhile. They also offer some snacks like little scones and such. Next time I'm in the area I'll definitely drop by. read more

Such a cool coffee shop! They roast they're own coffee on the premises. Amazing service and just great vibes.

Super cute spot that reminds me of living in Oregon again (: quiet, easy parking, and incredibly friendly staff with fast service! read more

Perkatory Coffee Roasters - Cold brew - Cafes Near Me - Middletown, Connecticut

So glad we found this place on our recent Connecticut trip. me a great coffeehouse! This place is tucked away amongst other small businesses with shared parking. The staff was all super friendly. Tried their Salted Caramel Latte & it was delicious! This place has such a unique vibe that we had to get some of their merchandise while we were there. Will be back on our next visit in a few months. read more

such a cute coffee shop, i love the aesthetic. i've been meaning to check this place out for a while. i got three bags of beans (each bag of beans comes with a free small coffee and you can get them ground if you need to.) their merchandise was adorable, we got a hat and some stickers. they do have alternative milk options. the free small coffee that came with the beans was really good. it was nutty and not bitter at all. it doesn't need sugar even if you always drink your coffee that way! read more

Just hands down best coffee in middlesex county. Bold flavor but not bitter, great stuff. The consistency of their coffee is spot on, it's always delicious and gets the day going. They have a plethora of flavors and combinations to choose from, there is something for everyone. read more

Great little coffee shop. Good strong coffee with a great slogan "death before decaf". Loved the vanilla latte and the muffins were a great added snack. read more

Perkatory Coffee Roasters - Smalls S'Mores- a smoked marshmallow and mocha latte - Cafes Near Me - Middletown, Connecticut

This place knows their beans, Do you know what I mean? Their coffee just makes me feel so serene. Come down for a brew, Yes, I'm talking to you. Hot, iced, or nitro in a space that's mad coo'. Perkatory is my new favorite spot in Middletown. The place is amazing on so may different levels. The thing that I immediately noticed during my first visit was how nice and welcoming the employees were. Huge smiles, very passionate about their product, and big supporters of the local community. It also helps that the owners are Packers fans (GO PACK GO). Then I ordered an iced latte and my world was turned upside down. So good. The last few times I have gotten the monthly specialty drink. Last month's was made with pumpkin, and this month's is a latte made with maple syrup from the Durham Sugarhouse. All I can say is "holy smokes". They also partner with a local food truck to sell doughnuts on weekends, and from what I can tell on Instagram they hold live concerts and events from time to time. Plenty of private parking. Just go down the gravel road to the right of Eli Cannon's and it will be in the big warehouse-like building on the right. read more

What a gem of a place! Its got personality from top to bottom, and in every nook and cranny... including their staff. Joe and Johanna (the owners) are also the sweetest people ever. I love their overall mission and they welcome everyone in like family. They carry tons of different brews, lots of snack options for all dietary needs, occasionally have a donut truck stop by, and they make one of the best lattes I've ever had (which if you knew about my caffeine addiction - you'd trust me on that.) I wish I lived closer because I would definitely make this my regular hangout place. Amazing, beautifully smooth cofffee; great parking options; fantastic owners. Despite the deathly tone and puns, there's not a bad thing about this place. read more

First of all, I love the skeletons. Perkatory is definitely busting out heavy hipster vibes w/ cute afterlife novelties dispersed throughout the shop. Initially, I'm impressed to see 2 rooms: the entrance (equiped w/ dining tables & chairs) & the main dining area (located further back w/ checkout, baked goods, & amazing coffee). I appreciate that customer parking is available even if the parking lot is crowded & shared w/ other local businesses. read more

Love this place! I always made a stop in when I was passing through. The atmosphere is super chill and a great spot to get work done. I normally get the chocula which is fantastic. They also sell packaged beans which is defiantly worth the buy! read more

Coffee shop with serious character. Obsessed with the theme of the shop and skulls all around. Came here on a Sunday morning to get some work done. Space has plenty of seating and a lot of natural light. Large size lattes to drink in come in that xl mug that's almost like a bowl- my favorite. Staff was friendly and answered all the questions I had on on their special lattes. We tried the maple latte and a standard latte both were awesome. Selection of baked goods was small but they also had the rolling doughnut on site! Great addition to middletown! Can not wait to stop by again for some of their events and to try out more of their special concoctions. read more

Excellent service and incredible lattes! The staff is so helpful and the whole cafe has a great vibe.

This coffee is truly delicious! The sinister shop blend and nitro cold brew are my favorites! It's so smooth and delicious. The owners are great people, the interior is amazingly unique and open, it's a great spot and there is no other coffee like it in the area. read more

brew coffee more often . don't serve the bottom of the pot , that's what it tasted like . offer to heat up the food that is served

This coffee shop has some really good coffee. They have anything from specialties drinks to drip coffee. They have a good amount of tees for selection as well. The area has a punk rock grungy vibe to it. They don't have much to eat except a bagel or muffin so if you're looking for food I would walk across the street to the diner. The coffee shop is great to sit in catch up with some friends read more

Very nice feel and reasonable prices. 12 oz coffee and 16 oz latte $6. The latte was a little strong for me but I added some milk from the fixings table and now it's perfect. The music was not at all relaxing as it was an alternative version of an unrelaxing Xmas tune. read more

Light roast is great and worth a try, but overall as a coffeehouse/chill out spot Needs some Tweaks to really work: Good: The light roast is very smooth, easily drinkable, and left me highly caffeinated. Caffeine is a drug and I truly felt that. Mixed: The location is almost industrial. It's tricky to find at first, the street looks like you are driving into the auto mechanic's driveway, reminds me of when I used to live in an illegal factory loft and I love this entrance. Feels special like finding a secret! The drawback is the high ceilinged space isn't cozy and warm. I had my coat on almost the whole time. Hopefully as time goes by and this place gets broken it it can get visually warmer. Heating the place might be quite a challenge though. Bad: my Brie and herb muffin was SO STALE. Even toasting/warming didn't help. It was also shockingly sugary not savory. Pricey too. Meh. read more

I drive from Windsor to their Middletown location just for a Killer Beez latte. They've been a refuge for getting out of the house during quarantine. They are offering walk up and drive up through the Cloosiv app so ordering is contactless. My friend and I social distance from our cars on our coffee dates. It great to get out of the house, support a local business but stay safe while doing so. The Killer Beez latte is my favorite but you can't go wrong with any flavor or none at all. The espresso has great flavor and will keep you "perky". ;) Carrot muffin and lemon poppy seed are tasty treats! Excellent customer service. read more

Perkatory Coffee Roasters - Hazelnut iced latte with oat milk and a chocolate chip muffin cameo in the background. - Cafes Near Me - Middletown, Connecticut

Pricey but well worth it! The place has character AND quality coffee. Very rarely have I found a place that can do a fantastic espresso and have good regular coffee/cold brews! read more

Great coffee and overall environment. My personal favorite study spot to sit and catch up on schoolwork

This new funky themed coffee house and roaster gets an A for effort. But they get a C for execution of an Ethiopian pour over. Frankly I expected better. While I was told it was a light to medium roast and it was the lightest roast that they offer, it was not a bright light fragrant interesting exciting inviting cup of coffee. I have higher standards probably than their regular customers so I won't be back. Likely they won't miss my business because I think this place will attract young people, edgy types -- people who want a cool and funky place to hang out. I really enjoyed the baked treat. It was moist and worked well with the coffee. In fact it made it far more enjoyable.A great place to try especially if you like the darker more intense flavors of coffee. This is art imitating life. read more

Fantastic service and amazing coffee. I enjoy their cortado. Try this if you are in the mood for some espresso! Support this Middletown gem! read more

My favorite coffee shop in Middletown. Good coffee and a damn good latte. If you care about supporting a small business that is just starting off this is the place to spend your $. Parking is easy to find, if you know how to use a GPS and can see the giant white Perkatory sign out front, you won't have any problem finding it. Quiet enough to get work done, read a book, or have a conversation. read more

Great local coffee shop. They have a large menu of options and friendly staff. Prices are a little higher than Starbucks but they're a local business. They have great coffee and tea drinks. read more

I had the nitro cold brew and first sip i forgot Starbucks existed I also grabbed some of the houndoras coffee to brew at home and I'm stoked for all the diff tastes and accents in it. It's tucked away but def worth it and near my house! I'll be back! And they were super nice about letting me bring a dog in to order read more

How did we never know this place existed (we live in Cromwell and come to Middletown often!) Anyways, great vibes and fun little coffee shop. read more

One thing I have loved about Perkatory from the start is they are very approachable and down to earth. Some coffee shops you walk into can feel intimidating and exclusive but not this place. Every month they have a featured latte and a couple of other offerings specific to that month which is nice. The bagels are outstanding, I usually get the cheddar and it is my favorite by far. You also can't go wrong with their pastry items. My only complaint is I ordered a drink and someone else grabbed it and left before I could say anything. A number system or name call out would take care of that. Don't let that deter you though, this place is awesome. read more

Great coffee and cold brew in a very eclectic space. Servers have great attitude and smiles. If you're a coffee lover, and who's not, this is a must try spot in Middletown. read more

My friends and I love to try coffee shops around CT and this was my first time stopping in at any of the Perkatory locations. I was super impressed! The vibe of the shop is very cool and welcoming, the barista I encountered was very nice and helpful. My friends and I were able to sit for a while and talk without feeling the awkwardness you sometimes feel sitting in small coffee places. I thoroughly enjoyed my latte and I'll hopefully be back in the near future read more

Ayyyy this place is the bees knees, the cats pajamas, of coffee shops. Staff is super helpful and friendly and the drinks and coffee are hard to beat! Not from CT? They will mail you their in-house roasted coffee beans by the lbs to your home wherever you may be (just order through their website) Love y'all read more

This is my new go to spot for coffee. I like the vibe that the place gives.....its a funky joint! I would love see a jazz and band there.

Great new coffee roasters. Trying their house blend and they have an excellent iced black tea with lavender.

Exceptional coffee menu, tried a few different blends over the past week. Fabulous! Staff is knowledgeable and friendly; sweet place to linger. Will return when I am in town. read more

One thing I really value about a business is consistency. The first time I tried this place it was absolutely delicious. I got an iced mocha latte and it was perfectly made. I liked it so much I decided to come back (within a week) for another. The iced mocha latte I got today was tasteless. Needless to say I was disappointed. I understand business have off days, but this time it wasn't just off, it just wasn't good. I couldn't even finish the drink. Overall, I may try again. But I think they should work on their consistency. read more

Cool atmosphere. I'm sure the coffee is good but we ordered the ice blended and sadly it was all ice. Trying to melt it as I write this review. read more

The coffee was amazing when we visited in Boston. The staff was extremely friendly and it was all organized. Definitely recommend this place! read more

Stopped in to grab a cup of joe before my morning commute. Clean space, friendly environment and the coffee was made just right. The only thing that could have made this a perfect experience would be if there was more staff on for such a busy hour. read more
