[[HIGHLIGHT]]Absolutely loved my experience at Perks Coffee House! From the moment I walked in, the vibe was warm and welcoming -- and a huge part of that was our barista Ady.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Her personality is infectious, she's friendly, attentive, and genuinely made the whole visit feel special. Give that woman a raise! On the food side -- wow. The Perks Panini was amazing, seriously one of the best I've had. Perfectly pressed, great flavors, no notes. And then there was the 32 oz carrot cake drink... out of this world doesn't even cover it. I don't know how they packed that much flavor into a cup but I was not complaining. I could drink that every single day. This place has great food, great drinks, and even better people. Perks has officially earned a regular customer. Highly recommend! read more

The only issue I had was the customer service. I came here Saturday the 23rd around 3:00-3:30 PM with 2 friends. The girl at the counter was on the phone before taking our order. She saw us walk in, and it took about 5 minutes before she acknowledged us and said she'd be with us. We honestly didn't mind waiting at first, but while standing there we could hear her personal conversation on the phone. At first we thought it was work related or maybe she was taking an order, but she was actually giving someone directions on how to post photos on her damn IG .SMH. When she finally took our order, one of my friends asked questions about the drink she wanted, and the employee was pretty short with her answers. My friend ended up getting what seemed like strawberry milk instead of the coffee drink with strawberry foam/syrup she expected, so unfortunately her drink was kind of a mess. Me and my other friend got the Seattle Freeze, and that was actually really good super delicious. We sat down and about 10minutes later she went right back on the phone. Another customer came in a couple with their kid and this time she clearly saw them walk in. The customers stood there waiting and looking at her, but she still didn't acknowledge them. Then she says whoever she was talking to on the phone..." Oh...customers just walked in" when the customers had literally been standing there already watching her. This is unprofessional ..customers were not a priority at all. The wait itself wasn't the issue, it was more the fact that she didn't seem to care. read more

Perks Coffee House was such a great find. I ordered the coconut matcha on the barista's recommendation and it hit absolutelyy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is super cute and cozy, with a nice fireplace inside and outdoor seating that's perfect if you have some downtime.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Such a nice little hole-in-the-wall spot![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I thought this place was great! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Most exciting was the outdoor patio area where I could enjoy my delicious coffee with my pup while a wonderful breeze came though.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It was a nice little stop that did the job for the coffee I needed, but also let me enjoy that coffee without having to leave my pup behind, since he travels with me. :) read more

I really wanted to like this place because it has the potential to be such a cute local coffee shop. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere seems cozy, and with a few improvements, I think it could be a great spot.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Unfortunately, our experience wasn't the best. When we walked in, we started looking at the menu, but the barista told us it was outdated and that we needed to order from the menu on the wall instead. There was only one barista working, which I understand can be stressful, but it felt like we were being rushed to order so she could get back to making drinks. Personally, I think it would have made more sense to finish the current orders first and then give new customers a moment to decide without feeling pressured. We ordered a hot vanilla latte and a hot chai latte. The vanilla latte didn't really taste like vanilla, and the chai was just okay, nothing particularly memorable. One small detail that could really elevate the experience would be branded cups or drink sleeves. It's a simple touch, but it makes a coffee shop feel more polished and memorable. Overall, I think this shop has a lot of potential, but based on this visit, I'm not sure I'd return. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]3 stars for having lots of seating and really cute ambiance!![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] However, this coffe house lacked the warmth and friendliness I would expect from a "local coffee shop". My husband and I were not even greeted when we walked in and I had to be the one to say hi to the cashier when I was ready to order. Not sure how places that lack simple customer service get business. Aside from this, the matcha was just okay. My husband really liked his "Seattle freeze" though! read more

drinks are always good, but worker was loudly complaining about how people were ordering freezes and how she hates summertime because people just order frozen drinks, didn't greet me when i walked in just said "gonna be a while before i help you" was also talking to her coworker saying "well people are gonna have to wait and they keep walking out like please do" idk but the vibes are just weird like why are you complaining about the job you're hired to do?? [[HIGHLIGHT]]makes the place feel super uncomfortable and unwelcoming[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. read more

Update- Never coming back haha. Tried for a fourth time to support this place. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Business was slow with only two other customers in the shop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I waited 7 minutes at the register to be helped. Barista comes overs to immediately answer the phone and proceeds to take their order. Walked out. Do not come to this place if you don't want subpar service and mid coffee. Believe the bad reviews. read more

The house coffee was sour and rancid on Friday afternoon. The Barista said it was brewed in the morning and offered a new batch. I hope they improve their freshness and quality control. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambience is nice, its well air conditioned inside and inclides outdoor seating.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

AVOID THIS PLACE! Mediocre highly acidic coffee served by GenZ baristas that couldn't carry a conversation if they tried. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice little shop but it has no real vibe.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] It's a good thing I asked how many shots were in a 16 oz latte. ONE. Seriously? A 16 should come with two at a minimum. Coffee so bad I had indigestion by the time I hit BAKER on the 15. The coffee I drank in the U.S. Navy was superb compared to the swill at Perks. read more

The customer service from the employees was amazing. were really helpful and friendly. The girls there Victoria and Heidi recommended something called a Seattle freeze It was a great idea on the hot days read more

Now that I spend more time around here, I have grown to really love coming here. I come once or twice a month. I see familiar faces behind the counter and they do a good job getting the orders correct. They no longer have the delicious sprinkle cookies but they still have muffins, danishes, croissants, brownies, chocolate chip cookies and lemon squares. They also have Panini menu, I haven't ordered one but my friends say they are delicious. The atmosphere is inviting. The outside seating is comfortable and airy. The Seattle freeze with Carmel drizzle and no cinnamon is my favorite! They have a rewards program for every 10 drinks you order you'll get one free. Also, bring your badge if you work at St Mary's or you're a first responder and you'll get a discount! read more

I usually love coming here and always have a great experience but today's visit was different. Our barista was a guy, right off the bat he had a bit of an attitude and made me feel un welcomed. I ordered a matcha with strawberry cold foam and the drink was not green at all. I tried being understanding until the same barista made an order that included matcha lattes.. and their drinks were vibrant green. Beside the look of my drink, it faintly tasted like matcha. Overall I'm disappointed with this visit and I'm unsure of coming back! read more

Perks coffee house gets 5 stars simply for being a great place to study. The coffee is so good my go to is a iced hazelnut latte. The drink sizes are HUGE! The first time I went to perks I ordered a large not realizing that I'd get a big gulp sized latte. I had the perks panini it is pretty good I'd give it a 3/5. The service is always great here everyone is very nice! I've been going to perks to work on school work but it seems like a nice place to hang out as well they have an outdoor patio and game boards inside! read more

The staff is always so kind, they definitely have the best local coffee around, you have to come try their seasonal drinks!

[[HIGHLIGHT]]honestly a cute place[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] but the customer service ruined it & the coffee was 95% milk I couldn't really taste the coffee. The guy taking my order had an attitude. I was super excited to try new coffee shops since I just moved to the HD and I would say this one kind of ruined it for me. I was sad hahahaha but whatever. Try it if u want but I'm never going back :) read more

First time in - excited to find a local coffee shop in AV. I approached one of two sweet young ladies standing near the register to order. A young man (glasses/beanie) with his back to me barked something like "Not yet Ma'am". OK who knew?? The wonderful girl was at the order counter. He was dismissive and condescending. Coffee is good - his attitude wasn't. (Watched him interact with another first-time customer in the same impatient manner.) Pretty shocked - didn't expect this from a coffee shop with such a long-standing history in the community. read more

Perks oh Perks...What can one say about such a beautiful, amiable and delicious establishment!

This place was so cute! Great atmosphere and even better service! Gracie was so sweet and helpful, my husband I will definitely be back soon! I recommend getting the vanilla latte, breakfast panini and banana nut muffin, delicious! Skip the panini if you're in a hurry since they make it with love it takes a while but definitely worth the wait if you have the time! read more

If you want to find the best frappe look no further. Whenever I'm craving a frappe I always head out to this local coffee shop. The employees like to keep the line moving through the rush, and you never miss. The customer service it's above and beyond and the decorations so pretty! The Seattle freeze it's one of the most popular drinks but there's so many things and also food. I strongly recommend to place your order ahead by phone and skip the line! read more

The coffee was good. Better than Starbucks ... The service was great. Prices were a bit high for the size they provide , but I'll still be back - just not every day. Lower your prices and people will come much more often !! read more

I've been here a handful of times, and unfortunately the experience is always the same...very odd and very uncomfortable. The staff consistently lack basic customer service skills. Customers walk in without acknowledgment while employees continue their personal conversations, and when they finally take your order, it feels like they're annoyed to be helping... I understand every coffee shop has its own way of preparing drinks / have special menus, but customers should never feel belittled or spoken to condescendingly while ordering or have questions regarding what they are ordering. I'm the customer...you work here, not me! If I ask about the menu, it should be met with professionalism, not attitude. This place has potential, but the staff's attitude makes it unwelcoming. Please work on training and professionalism...your customers notice!!! read more

I have loved this place for years, but recently it has become a hangout for the misogynistic freaky-deaky religious right. I prefer my expensive coffee without the God, Country, Guns, and Trump cohort. read more

I try to support local businesses when I can but when a business doesn't adequately staff their establishment, I just can't. The wait time is insane. One employee behind the counter. And it's not even busy. This is why Starbucks gets all the business; because people can get their order in a reasonable amount of time. The paninis here are delicious but be prepared to spend 30+ minutes waiting for it. read more

It's sad we've lost a ton of coffee shops here for more genetric company shops like Starbucks. Perks remains one fo the only classic in house made syrup shops and for that I'll keep coming to try new variety read more

The coffee is great here. We always order something different and they always taste good. The tea is very good, I get green tea with lemonade and add strawberry puree and strawberry inside snd it's so good!! They also have mango... this is our to come to place when we come for a walk daily. They have good nuff9ns and super good breakfast sandwiches read more

Very friendly staff, [[HIGHLIGHT]]cute vibes[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and a great variety of coffee drinks. This place is a hidden gem and worth stopping by. read more

I enjoy coming here. The locals are always in and out. It is a charming experience to sit and relax outdoors and indoors here. Their patio area is nice, it feels like a cool cave to chill in. There is plenty of space to bring a friend or two, read a book, and or work on writing a paper for those still in school. In addition the drinks are good. Granted, I come here for a London Fog every now and then. The oatmeal is tasty especially with their toppings... I have not tried their panini's yet but I imagine I will not be disappointed. Their customer service is great thus far and it is always wonderful to sit back, relax, and enjoy a cup! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The perfect ambiance to get an afternoon hangout in with friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is nothing bad to say about this place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] From the delicious coffee made with the richest Ethiopian coffee beans, to the fresh, warm and scrumptious blueberry muffins, nothing beats this place. For the cherry on top, both Heidi and Victoria offer the greatest customer service there is! From their genuine personality to their utmost attention to detail, they are by far the greatest baristas I have ever met! I come here everyday and I never regret it! read more

This is usually why I don't shop local.. the service is usually horrible like this place. Idk if it's just me or they're not too fond of Hispanics. My sisters also gave this place a try and they started the person behind them his drink before they started theirs first. Yeah definitely not supporting this place again.. read more

By far THE BEST coffee I've ever had! So smooth, you don't need sugar. I ordered regular coffee with half-and-half...DELICIOUS!! The place has been remodeled and it's so nice and clean inside. And of course, the service was top notch! I HIGHLY recommend! One suggestion, make the sign over the front door bigger to make it easy to locate. read more
