This is a wonderful and special local spot in the very quiet town of defuniak springs. They had a wide selection of teas and homemade pastries, such as delicious macaroons and quiche. They have vegetarian options, beer and wine to go as well as a full menu though we were only there for breakfast. The space is large, modern, light and homey. There's local art on the walls. It's a great addition to the community and the bartenders are knowledgeable on where to direct tourists. read more

I cannot believe this place is in Defuniak. It could make in a major city. SUPERB coffees. Breakfast burrito was AWESOME. Pastries were devine. Make the dip off HWY 10 if you are passing by Defuniak SPrings. I cringe a 4$ toast and jam but...damn it was good, so I've gotten it twice. read more

Their breakfast burrito was so good and the berry tart 100% recommend for any day of the week! read more

Very delicious Limon Bar and coffee was a perfect balance of sweet and bitterness, a very smooth pleasure.

This was the starting point for our beach trip. We drive the same route every year and this year we stumbled onto Perla. It is a breath of fresh air amid fast food stops. We were pleasantly surprised at its offerings, all fresh and served quickly. We each had something different and shared with the table. The Nova Scotia toast (it's been 6 months) is still on my mind! Have tried but cannot replicate the flavor. The coffee and teas are fantastic. My 3 year old still refers to any chocolate pastry as The Perlaaaaaa read more

Nice little coffee house in the heart of old defuniak. Stopped on my way home from riding and got the avocado blt and a black ice tea. Everything was perfect. The tea was just right, not watered down like most places. Great service and the place is always clean. read more

Nice location.. 2nd time we stopped on a road trip. Great Coffee and Food is good as well!

Great croissants!!! And the people who work here are exceptionally nice!!! Downtown Defuniak. Nice little spot to have breakfast!

Cute little coffee shop in the downtown area. Awesome atmosphere and decor inside. Took advantage of an office day and got the ham & cheese quiche and a pumpkin spice white mocha. Great food and coffee. read more

Great addition to this community in an even better setting. The place is bright with plenty of room to spread out. The food and coffee is always good too! read more

Wow, wow, wow! Great tasting coffee! We were swinging by for coffee after driving for our trip. We didn't get to try the baked goods but I wish we had. They were pretty busy on a weekday, so I can only imagine how good the food was! And it seemed like everyone was ordering a coffee and some sort of food item. Great atmosphere, nice staff. Must try if you're in town! read more

Stopped in restaurant this morning with my wife for coffee and danish. We were not acknowledged upon arrival, stood at the counter for approx. 5 minutes. I would understand if restaurant was busy but there were only 2 additional customers awaiting orders. We politely left and took our business elsewhere due to the poor customer service experience. read more

Not worth it... food is not fresh nor tasty. And is not worth the money. Cute place tho!

I have to say the food isn't bad but don't walk away because you will never know your food was ready. unfortunately, this area doesn't have a lot of options for bakery goods. However the Saturday morning farmers market is quite a little hidden charm. The downtown shops / antique stores are pretty great too. This place is quite beautiful. If Perla could workout a way of letting people know there food is ready before it's cold, I'd give it more stars. read more

This coffee shop is so cool. For a traveler like me, i enjoyed just seeing how refreshing this place is. The town itself is so beautiful and relaxing. I love that this is located right in front of an old train station and a lake. The inside is clean too. I recommended this place to some of my friends and they went here, they loved it. Their coffee is good and food is great! They have the same menu and coffee as Amavida in Santa Rosa, FL. read more

I can't say enough great things about Perla. Especially love the small town atmosphere and the fact they remember you when you call in your order. I am partial to the pesto chicken Sandwich but literally everything I have ever ordered here has been wonderful. Highly recommend if you haven't tried yet. Also be sure to try the quiche great for breakfast but also lunch as well. read more

I was going to give only three out of five stars because of the limited selection ,But, the service is always fast. The employees are always friendly. The atmosphere is nice and relaxed. Great place to grab breakfast or lunch with a friend. The selections of food they do have is definitely five-star. read more

Awesome stop over! Needed some lunch and coffee while the Tesla was charging and this was the perfect stop. Friendly service, delicious food, strong coffee, and a quaint vibe. read more

We just moved to Defuniak and we go to Perla ALL the time. The atmosphere is cozy with lots of natural light. The food is good, but they're a little slow getting the orders out sometimes. We like the French Cuban the best. The breakfast croissant is huge and very good too. read more

Cute little coffee shop on our way back home! Great service. The coffee tastes really good!

Found this hidden gem by simply Googling "bakeries near me" while driving on I-10. Wonderful quiche and freshly made breakfast burrito with bacon, cheese, eggs, hash browns and chipotle sauce. Well made lattes, perfect iced tea. A pleasure to eat, and great service! Thank you Perla Bakery! read more

Prices are , more than Starbucks, that is saying a lot. Concept Menu Service Prices : charging $3.00 more than Starbucks for same size, type of drink. I'm sorry but I'm being honest. read more

This place is AMAZING! Nothing else to say! Employees are very professional and polite.

Amazing food and a great atmosphere. They have all kinds of lunch items as well as some favorites like doughnuts and croissants.

This place is disgusting. Everything is watery, food is disgusting, pastries are dry. Tables are dirty, so many flies. No napkins. Workers are rude and barley communicate, don't go here! read more

Perla has amazing pastries. I've had a couple of lunch entrees, which are good, but their pastries are where they shine. read more

This place is so cute and charming. Clean and the staff is always friendly. I wish we had a place like this in Freeport. But it's worth the drive. The best vanilla latte and fresh baked items. The croissant was the best I've ever had. Delicious! Please open one in Freeport read more

The danishes are amazing! Blt is my favorite and always done perfect!! Do wish there were bigger ice water cups but I can deal!LOL the coffee and teas are also perfect every time. The bakery is beautifully decorated and holds the charm of the down town area so well. read more

Excellent food and atmosphere! Vegetarian friendly. Close to Tesla charger. We'll be back!

I was looking for a place to get coffee on our way home and came across this gem! It's about five minutes off the interstate in a precious little downtown area. It was so clean and all staff were wearing masks and were super friendly. Another huge bonus, they have delicious GF pastries which was such an amazing surprise! I will for sure make it a point to stop here anytime we're in the area. read more

We had a latte and fruit smoothy. Both were very very good. The atmosphere is very clean and comfortable. Highly recommend. The baked goods looked amazing but we didn't order any since we had already eaten. read more

The absolute best croissant I have ever had. Stumble across Perla while looking for coffee while on the interstate. Already looking forward to returning as soon as I can. A lot of heart went into the decor and even more into the products. read more

Lovely quaint cafe in the heart of historic downtown DeFuniak Springs. Highly recommended.

Wonderful!! Greeted with true southern hospitality, the interior is simple devine. Historic charm with modern twist. Great barista, she made fantastic recommendations for both drink and food. Had the mushroom ricotta toast which was a delight. I am I. This area monthly for work, Perla has definitely become my go to spot. read more

Usually great place; food , or at least , what I've had in past been ver good; but today.. egg and bacon in croissant sandwich cold.. in appetizing , and microwaved .. not fresh cooked , which is disappointing. Next time, coffee and muffin only probably. read more

Love everything we had here. Pasteries are beautiful and yummy. Chai and London Fog were made perfectly.
