3 stars for having lots of seating and really cute ambiance!! 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

Update- Never coming back haha. Tried for a fourth time to support this place. Business was slow with only two other customers in the shop. 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.

AVOID THIS PLACE! Mediocre highly acidic coffee served by GenZ baristas that couldn't carry a conversation if they tried. Nice little shop but it has no real vibe. 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

We were really looking forward to a solid caffeine break... but unfortunately, it didn't quite hit the mark. I ordered a vanilla frozen coffee, and it honestly tasted like... nothing. It lacked sweetness, flavor depth, and that strong coffee kick you expect from a frozen drink. It just felt very flat. My husband got the Spanish latte, which should have been rich and slightly sweet with condensed milk flavor but instead, it tasted watered down. It didn't have that bold espresso taste we were hoping for. We also grabbed a cinnamon roll, which I was genuinely excited about. Sadly, that might have been the biggest letdown. It was cold, dry, and just not good. The texture and flavor were off honestly one of the worst cinnamon rolls I've had. When you're on a road trip, you want that warm, comforting pastry moment... and this wasn't it. Maybe it was an off day, but overall the drinks lacked flavor and the pastry missed the mark. It wasn't terrible service-wise just disappointing from a quality standpoint. Would I stop again on another road trip? Probably not. There are just too many great coffee spots out there to settle for something this underwhelming.
