It has been a few years since my husband and I tried this place (*think it just opened when we first tried it in 2022). Back then, my husband was not happy, you could not order coffee at the table, you had to go to the other side and get coffee and then bring to to the table if you wanted breakfast. Well, a LOT has changed with this place since then. #1...they will bring you what ever coffee you want to order, and they will pick up from next door and bring it to you (husband was happy about that). #2, they now serve lunch and dinner (*we didn't try that yet, but will be back to try that later). Now, Rebecca our server was so nice! She put up with my husband's "shanigans", as he always tries to joke about with everyone! He was hungry, so got the "Big Ol' Breakfast", which had your eggs, half a ham steak, sausage, bacon (Oh, sooo good) breakfast potatoes (could have been just a little more "crisped up), and pancakes!! He cleaned his plate!! LOL! I had (and did not realize until I read my last review, I had "half" of same I ordered before), the Benedict Sampler (where you can choose TWO of benedicts). I got the "Southwest Steak" (*which is what I had last time..LOL), ohhh soo good! If you like "Spicy"...get this...the green chiles and cilantro-lime sauce make this dish! Then, the other one was the "Golden State" with tomato, bacon and avocado (*and little spice too with Siracha sauce on top), and also had the very good breakfast potatoes! Rebecca checked on us often, and we were both glad we came back to this place! We will be back again! read more

Brunch on a weekend around here isn't that easy to obtain. It seems the blooming population has overloaded the volume of brunch capability. The good news is there are several places that have waitlists and there are even some places that take reservations so if you're planning includes a time that's likely to attract a lot of diners. I would suggest that would be the way to decide your destination. We did in fact, use the waitlist Sunday at Perky Beans. It allowed us to see how many parties were in front of us and advised that we would be texted when our table was ready. We waited about a half hour in our vehicle until we were texted and then headed in and we were seated immediately. Junny was our server. She seated us and gave us menus. I ordered a Hazelnut Coffee and a Virgin Mary(bloody Mary without the alcohol). My granddaughter ordered Water. We took a few minutes looking over the menus. There were quite a few options. Lots of tempting items, but it's hard for me to turn down biscuits and gravy since I love homemade biscuits and unfortunately mine don't turn out-2 eggs and home fried potatoes accompanied that. My granddaughter ordered the " sample the Eggs Benedict," which offered her the option of choosing two half Benedicts offered-which is a great way to determine your preference. She also opted for the home fried potatoes. Right about then Junny went and got my Virgin Mary, which they had really done up nicely! It was every bit as pretty as the alcoholic version with a nice crisp celery, stick, and a Gerkin pickle, Green olive and fresh Orange section. It was very tasty. We waited about 40 minutes for our food. It was very busy and I think it's difficult to manage the coffee side of the café along with the dining room side especially on a very busy Sunday. (That is why I deducted one star from our rating.) It did appear that they had adequate service staff, of course we couldn't observe the kitchen area so not sure how many cooks. We did enjoy the restaurant as a whole and we do plan to return to order some of the other delicious offerings on the menu. Fantastic to have a great brunch option right in Leander!!! read more

If breakfast had a hall of fame, Perky Beans Coffee & PB Café would already have a gold jacket hanging up. Came in hungry, left questioning every other country fried steak I've ever eaten--because this one just ruined the competition. Crispy, tender, smothered in perfection... easily the best I've ever had. My wife ordered the cinnamon roll French toast, and I'm not exaggerating when I say it felt illegal how good it was. Like dessert disguised as breakfast in the best way possible. And don't sleep on the strawberry cream cheese pancakes--they're the kind of good that makes you pause mid-bite and rethink your life choices. Then there are the bacon twists... I don't even have the words. Just order them. Trust me. Shoutout to Olivia, our server--absolute rockstar. Super friendly, on point, and made the whole experience even better. Bottom line: every time we come here, it's a win. Great food, great vibes, great people. If you leave hungry, that's on you. read more

I've been to Perky Beans next door for a coffee but never got a chance to stop by PB Cafe. My sister and I stopped in for a bite to eat and the wait was around 35 minutes for the two of us considering it is a popular, smaller sized cafe. It was 100% worth the wait as the food was absolutely delicious! The service was great-- our server Jillian was attentive and friendly. The steak sandwich was flavorful, and the steak was tender. The chimichurri complimented the whole sandwich, while the tomato added a fresh kick. This is definitely my new go to spot for lunch as it's right by my house, well priced, and tasty. read more

This strikes me as a very ordinary coffee shop. Perky Beans has some great names for coffee, but other than that I don't find this shop standing out from other independent coffee shops. I ordered a Bull Frog coffee; it had white chocolate and mint. It was disappointing. I barely noticed any mint. I also ordered a mocha. It was lovely with a good balance of mocha that wasn't overly sweet or with a heavy texture. I love the way the two-go coffees are sealed with very strong stickers; they held up well on my drive home. Taking one off and on during my drive, the sticker stayed secure. It also had a really cute owl on it. If I'm in the area, I'll certainly pop back in; however, I won't be going out of my way to return. read more

Perky Beans really lives up to its name--it's a cheerful way to start the day with hearty food, great coffee, and genuinely friendly staff. There are actually two spots under the Perky Beans name: the original coffee shop and PB Café, the full-service restaurant. This review is for the café. Even on a weekday morning, the place was buzzing, nearly every table full. Fortunately, I managed to snag the last open seat. I was greeted right away with a warm smile, handed a menu, and asked for my drink order. Without hesitation, I blurted out, "Coffee!"--the kind of morning where please came later. True to form, my server returned quickly with a steaming cup, and I made sure to say thank you that time. I ordered the Big 'Ol Breakfast: eggs, sausage, ham, home fries, and a side of pancakes. The first bite instantly took me back to the kind of old-school diners I used to visit in my youth. Everything had that unmistakable farm-fresh taste and comforting, down-home quality. The food was not only delicious but arrived surprisingly fast, which added to the welcoming, "homey" vibe of the place. Checkout their menu, it's a classic take on diner options but PB kicks it up a notch with such creative offerings on French toast, waffles, and Bennie's. The staff deserve extra credit for rolling with my "coffee first, manners later" attitude--they were gracious, patient, and attentive throughout. Between the hearty meal, the quick service, and the warm atmosphere, PB Café felt like stepping into a classic country diner with a touch of small-town charm. read more

My friends and I have been buying coffee at Perky Beans since open and have been having breakfast at PB Cafe since they open. The restaurant reminds me of small town diner dining. The young woman at the coffee counter was super nice when she took our orders and even brought our drinks to the table. When we are all in attendance, we moved over to the cafe side and were immediately seated by Amanda. She was very nice and patient as we like to talk before ordering. The food was delivered quickly from the open kitchen. Real chefs cooking real fresh food. I had the chicken fried streak and home roasted potatoes. Everything had a wonderful taste. Shoutout to Amanda for keeping our coffee cups full and putting up with our silly teasing. read more

I have heard about this place for quite a while and finally was able to stop in and enjoy their coffee. I was warmly greeted when I walked in - the place has a warm vibe to it, even with most of the tables full. Placed my latte order and was given a number instead of me waiting to hear my name called. Coffee had a nice aroma and taste a big plus. I really appreciated the fact they steamed milk to a perfect temperature- - made my latte that much more enjoyable. Great spot - able to have a conversation and was not on top of anyone, friendly and professional staff, great tasting coffee delivered at a fair price. I will be back read more

Great breakfast spot with deliciously fresh meals. Will definitely be back again with the family.

Server: 10/10 - Dawnielle was so nice and attentive. Drinks: 7/10 - menu seemed fun and i hope to try something new next time, bonus points for the jars. Food: 8/10 - The sandwich was yummy! don't love the bite size style but still great. 8/10 - fries were also good just a little salty. 7/10 - Pancakes were delicious but the CC was overpowering, don't need syrup or butter with it. 8/10 - side of sausage patties were average, wish they were links 7/10 Ambiance: 7/10 - cafe style, close together and a little hustle and bustle but it was nice! less than 10 min wait at 12pm on a sunday, probably at its busiest so not bad at all. The wall art was super cute too Price : $$ ($38 +tip) Overall: 8.5/10 read more

This review is for the weekend lunch. We got there a little after 11 AM and didn't leave till 1 PM because they had so many to go orders which backed up the kitchen. They had every table full and 30 minute wait times and they were putting it to go orders in front of the people that were in room dining. Ownership needs to correct us or they're gonna lose patrons. We've been eating here for years and never had this experience. And we didn't have anything crazy, but two wraps and some kids pancakes. The staff was great, btw. read more

I have been to Perky Beans a few times with my wife and her family since they are from Liberty Hill, and we've always loved going for their lattes. Now that the café side has been open for a while, we finally got to sit down for a full brunch and had to write a review. The fried pickles were the first thing to hit the table and man, they are crunchy, flavorful, and not overly salty like a lot of other places. I went with the good ole classic breakfast with over easy eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, and sourdough toast. Nothing fancy but sometimes it is the basics done right that hit best, and they nailed it. My father-in-law had the gyro wrap and he demolished it with no hesitation. He loved the flavor and especially the Greek-style sauce inside. The hashbrowns were crunchy and seasoned well and everyone at the table was trying to sneak a bite. My mother-in-law ordered the farmer omelette and I had a couple bites myself just to say I got my veggies in for the day. It was solid, full of flavor, and cooked right. But I will say, the highlight of brunch was their matcha. They didn't even have it on their menu but we simply asked for a Vanilla Matcha Latte with Cold Foam and they said "Yeah, we can do that!" When they came out, I was honestly stoked and looked pretty bomb. Glad we did and dude at the register was cool for whippin this up for us! read more

This really should be a 5-star review. But, as customer service is HUGE for me, I must say today's visit missed the mark... at least for one server. First, the place is very well decorated, and the dining tables are close, but not cramped. Kudos to Karly, and Rebecca for helping my server. Not sure if today was an "off" day, but Amanda missed it with me. I won't go into detail, but she definitely dismissed me on a couple of attempts to gain her attention. Again, I will chalk it up to just being on of those days for my server. But, something can definitely be done for identifying when a customer may need some attention. As for the food, the Pastami Hash was a big hit for me! I added a side of country gravy to it, and... #yummy read more

It's hard to review Perky Beans as a coffee shop, as their cafe is combined on this Yelp listing. But my review is for their coffee and my experience with it. I came here to grab coffee with a friend. When I arrived, plenty of seating was available, though I was told that just 10 minutes prior, the place was packed. Only then did I realize that an interior door connected the coffee shop with the cafe, and you could order food from within the coffee shop to eat with your coffee. It's confusing if you ask me. I ordered their black drip coffee and was charged about $3 after tax. I glanced at their bagged coffee beans and noticed their unique PB coffee blend, which combines beans from five countries. As a result, it was difficult for me to taste any flavor notes in the coffee, as none of them were distinct enough. I let my burning hot coffee sit for 10-15 minutes, lid off, to let it cool down. Yet the coffee was still unremarkable, maybe a step above chain store coffee. Overall, I would likely not return here for their coffee again. However, their food looks good, and I might try that if I'm ever in the area. read more

Great pit stop on our way back home. Inventive, delicious lattes and an excellent server in Perla, who helped us navigate the menu with some suggestions. Enjoyed western omelette with bacon, a pumpkin pancake for the table, and a pot roast omelet special. Everyone left full and happy! Next time down south we can't wait to go back. The dining room was packed on a mid week morning. read more

Perky Beans is probably the best place to get a hearty and pleasantly-plated dish of eggs benedict north of Austin! Perky Beans has an interesting set-up, with one storefront being a restaurant that overflows into its coffee shop/cafe. Restaurant patrons are allowed to sit in the cafe part and order off the restaurant menu. I visited PB with my bf for brunch one weekend, and we were both happy with the service and food quality. My only gripe is the lack of coffee sizes. I asked for a small latte, but I guess all the lattes come in one size, in GIANT mugs. My eggs benedict dish however was phenomenal. I ordered the veggie eggs benedict, and it came with the most adorably flat hashbrown rectangle I had ever seen. I will definitely return for that hashbrown rectangle alone, lol! read more

We have stopped by for brunch. Loved their Benedicts (both the Caprese and the veggie) - definitely the standouts. The Greek omelet and the chicken & waffles were also really good. The biscuits and gravy were just okay compared to the other dishes we tried. Overall, a solid spot with some decent items! read more

Half the order was wrong, and it was a simple one. No one checked it. The condiments I selected for takeout, including salad dressings, were not what I ordered. Spent $90 and ended up with a burnt steak, a dried out prime rib dip with no dip, a burnt dried out baked potato and the wrong dressings. read more

Hands down the BEST Eggs Benedict I've ever had!!! To clarify, I ordered the Veggie Benedict as I'm a vegetarian. I've never seen a menu item like this before - if I'm lucky and a breakfast place has a vegetarian eggs Benedict option, it's usually Eggs Florentine. This Benedict, however, was better than ANY eggs Florentine I've had either!! Veggie Benedict has the typical eggs Benedict items (poached egg, hollandaise sauce, English muffin), but they added spinach, tomatoes, onions, red peppers and mushrooms. A delightful combination that added a sensational flavor to this popular breakfast dish. The service was also great. A friendly server is always an added bonus that I enjoy, which is what I got while dining here! Tip: The cafe side of this place is on the right, the left side is the coffee shop. Also, the cafe closes at 3pm while the coffee shop stays open until til 8pm. Call them if you have any questions (which is what I did) and someone friendly will be happy to help! I wish I lived closer so I could come eat this delicious menu item more often. But next time I'm in town, I'll definitely be stopping in! Thanks, Perky Beans, for making my brunch experience exceptional!!! read more

BLTA was outstanding for lunch today, the garlic aioli on it really sets it apart. Sweet potato fries with their cinnamon dipping sauce is like a dessert on the plate, addictive even. My wife had the buffalo chicken sandwich that had great flavor. Only thing is that the bun bottom was disintegrating due to the heat and moisture, along with the bun itself being severely undersized for the sandwich. Much better service this time, Phoebe was great with checking in on us for refills or if we needed a refill to go. read more

First visit to this restaurant with my neighbor ladies. Actually in PB Cafe. Breakfast menu was able to meet everyone's food requirements- both big and small. I had a Benedict with tomato and avocado and bacon. Eggs still a little runny which was great. Others raved about their pancakes which is a special batter. Other egg dishes looked very tasty too. Service was outstanding. Only negative is noise level is very loud. Will go back again. read more

Horrible on busy days!!! Go when they don't have ppl they don't know or have wait time procedures we waited 40 minutes for a table, got notified that table was ready walked in and there was a line to the hostess stand, by the time we got up they gave our table to someone else after I had already confirmed via text, not even 5 minute wait per the policy they have when you join waitlist. Not even an apology from the older man at the stand, just ohh it will be another 20 minute wait. read more

Just moved into the area and I desperately needed to indulge my coffee fix as I adjust to new time zones and I located this place practically around the corner from our new home Today, there was a Leander Chamber mixer in progress and what a great venue to do this at. We were greeted by the owner and other staff and smiles around from all those in attendance. The place screams positive vibes and good flavors as all of their drinks have a theme or special name. So good! The mocha I had was called La Vida Mocha and did it speak volumes! It was made with Aztec and Dutch Chocolates They also have bites fresh from their kitchen. And they also have an amazing cafe next door but that's for another experience and review later. . read more

Waited for a while to get anyone's attention at the host stand. I felt invisible! Several employees went past but to no avail . Once someone came she was very pleasant and accommodating. I ordered the sweet potato fries that were meant to come with a special sauce but didn't and I also ordered the meatloaf with the sauce on the side and it didn't !!! It came SMOTHERED. The meatloaf had a flavor I could not recognize or recommend. Now the fries without the sauce were good. This was my first attempt at Perkys dinners I think I will stick to their breakfasts read more

Nothing fancy but just delicious breakfast and coffee. We loved the hazelnut and vanilla coffee. Little too sweet but what do we expect from that combination.

YOU GUYS!! Go for dinner and get the Chicken Madeira!!! It's one of the best things that I've ever eaten. Seriously!

Mystery Yelper reporting in for my first case... and wow, this one's a strong start. I thought Perky Beans was just a local coffee shop, but it turns out there's a full-on cafe next door serving some of the BEST brunch I've had in the area (and that's not an understatement). I've been coming here for a few months now and have never been disappointed--both the service and food quality consistently impress. Portions are generous, prices fair, and the flavors? Always on point. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - SERVICE & AMBIANCE: Each time I've visited Perky Beans Cafe, I have been greeted with a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The servers are attentive, kind, and always willing to help. It feels like dining in a country mom's kitchen equipped with mason jars, farm animal paintings, and a menu full of southern and modern classics. However, don't be surprised if there is a wait on the weekend, as this cafe has limited seating. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ - FOOD: This is THE brunch spot to beat in the Leander area!! The first few times I've visited, I have ordered "The Boss" iced latte (not pictured). It comes in a giant mason jar and is truly SO delicious. It was perfectly sweet for me and wasn't too milky. Definitely will start any meal off right! Pictured in this review is the Banana Caramelized French Toast that is SO TASTY. I've gotten this twice, and it's been AMAZING both times! While I have been a pancake lover through and through, this French toast alone may have converted me. It has perfectly fluffy but crisp brioche bread topped with delicious caramelized bananas and a side of marscapone cheese and syrup. WOW! I would highly recommend this meal!!! I have also ordered the biscuits and gravy (not pictured), and OH MY was it one of the best breakfasts I've had in a while. The gravy was delicious on top of the crisp biscuits, and the side of hashbrowns was well seasoned. It also came with a slice of any bread of your choosing and two eggs cooked however you prefer. I got a slice of toasted sourdough and got my eggs scrambled, and they tasted great! Another time, I came for lunch and decided on the Turkey Pesto Sandwich with a side of sweet potato fries. I will note, the menu said the fries came with a dipping sauce, but I never received that on my plate. However, the sandwich was SO fresh and delicious. It was way bigger than I thought it would be, and I only ate about half (and took the rest home with me, of course). The walnut pesto was so delicious paired with the mozzarella cheese and sliced turkey. Not to mention the powdered-sugar-dusted sweet potato fries were INCREDIBLE! I am a huge fan of sweet potato fries, and these were some of my favorites. They were sweet but also light and crisp with a satisfying bite to them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All in all, I have yet to try something here that wasn't delicious!! I'm already looking forward to my next visit and aim to try even more items on their extensive menu. Verdict: Perky Beans Cafe delivers on all fronts: food, service, and charm. It's earned its place as my go-to brunch/lunch spot in Leander. Mystery Yelper, signing off. read more

Everything was perfect. From start to finish. Came on a Saturday morning. Quoted 25 minutes wait. Went next door to their coffee shop and got coffee while we waited. Sat outside on their benches and chatted with some lovely older folks. Exactly 25 minutes later got a text our table was ready. Gabby was our server and she just had a great attitude and smile during our whole encounter. Our food was hot, fresh and delicious. We got the Dueces and Frenchie- pancakes and French toast were amazing. The owner Ron came by to chat and was soooo nice and welcoming. We can't wait to go back!! read more

Recently had a wonderful breakfast here. Delicious food. Attentive service. Great price. Thoroughly enjoyed my meal.

We love this place! Good coffee, food is hot & served pretty quickly. Waitresses have nice attitudes & attentive. My favorite is the sweet cream pancakes! But the other food is always good too. With the exception of the sausage gravy. They put oregano (Italian seasoning) in it. Us southern folk don't expect that. The restaurant is a tiny place with only a dozen or so tables, so if it was too busy we'd probably skip. Not much room to stand or sit to wait. Overall good place! read more
