I don't think Perla will ever see me as a customer again. First of all it's a beautiful spot in a cute downtown Main Street. I came here specifically because I was craving a PANINI and saw they had it on their menu. I could tell service was casual as there was only 1 barista & another floater staff so I was not expecting 5 star waiting service however this is the part that was extremely distasteful. My panini came out as a regular sandwich and when I got up to bring that attention to the main staff person she said "oh yea our panini machine is broken, so we call them a PANINO now, ( when she saw the disappointment in my face) "did you want want us to take to the back and try to make it flatter ..." ( I assume this was sarcasm) my thing is why not tell me the machine is broken before I ordered... a panini is fundamentally different than a regular sandwich. That's like ordering a burger and getting a hotdog ... anyways the sandwich was good but service awful. And there's a long wait to be served or ask for anything additional ( like a glass of water ...) read more

What a gem! I was on my way back home from a work trip and I was looking for a coffee shop with the artisan espresso drinks that I love but one that also offered a real meal. I was so happy to have found Perla Coffee on my route home. I had the cookie butter latte and it was one of the best I've ever had. I also had the Savory Croissant and it was a real meal. I was the only one there because it was morning on a week day however there is plenty of seating for multiple guests. The only thing I would say is that the prices are on the higher side but that is how the market is now and there's nothing they can really control. I will definitely be coming back when I am passing through the area. read more

Perla is a friendly lil spot in the main Woodbridge hamlet. We stopped on our way out of town, hoping to find an inventive latte to fuel us for our road trip. They had a tiramisu latte on their menu, & I was immediately sold. I had a seat at the coffee bar while I waited. The interior is bright & cheerful but (personal opinion incoming) a little tacky. Fake flowers everywhere. Good drinks take time & so did our lattes - but they were delicious. The ice to drink ratio was a lil wonky (not enough ice) but the taste & balance was superb. I'd definitely stop by again if I was in the area. read more

Lovely place - and halal :) We managed to find parking on the street close by around 130pm on Saturday. The place was half full and I love the decor. We were greeted and seated promptly, and after having our order taken I looked around. Can't speak on the bathroom cleanliness or design but I did notice when the door opened they have the florals in there as well. I got a Mediterranean sunset mocktail which was refreshing and not overly sweet nor overly tart. My husband got the tiramisu latte which looked delicious. I got the amore panini (essentially a chicken parm) and I was stuck between that or the La Familia, which I'd want to try next time. The snore was alright, I liked the sauce and my husband and I both enjoyed the bread it came on. My husband got the Balankia sandwich which had beef prosciutto - I loved the roasted red peppers in his! Overall we'd return again :) read more

Heard so many good things about this spot but I was left underwhelmed. I ordered the lavender matcha which tasted like plain milk, no matcha and no lavender flavor. Assuming that the panini was flat and thin, I alsoordered the balkania panini but I was wrong. It was basically thick baguette bread. Service was also a bit slow being there was only two people working but it was pretty busy for a Thursday afternoon. Inside was cute and very picture worthy. Maybe I need order something else when I go back. read more

Delicious breakfast at Perla! Everything tasted really good and fresh. Such a cute spot for a quick but fresh bite. Service was great and ambience is as well. Great place for a cute date, to study (during the week if recommend it for this), or just to have good food. I love that their kitchen in the back is hidden so it looks like just a cafe but they offer delicious food! read more

Perla - Savory Sunrise Croissant and French Toast - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Woodbridge Township, New Jersey

Beautiful spot right in Woodbridge's downtown. Street parking was not hard to find when we went around 3pm on a Wednesday but I could see it being an issue during the busier times. What we ordered: - Tiramisu Latte with oat milk - Shirley Temple - Blue Lagoon - Pepperoni Bliss - Homemade Marinara sauce, melted mozzarella, turkey pepperoni on a crispy flatbread - Avocado Toast - Sliced avocado on toasted whole-grain bread, topped with perfectly cooked over-easy eggs. Drizzled with organic virgin olive oil and finished with a sprinkle of everything bagel seasoning - Perlalicious Crepe - Fresh strawberries, ripe bananas, creamy Biscoff sauce & Nutella Everything was tasty, no issues there. Our server seemed new and had to go ask about some things on the menu but that was fine. They did forget one of our items but quickly fixed the issue. I would recommend it to others. read more

We walk in and we were told to pick a table so we did. We then sat there for over 20 minutes before anyone came over to us. Ordered our coffee , water and food. Took another 15 minutes for the coffee to come and the server insisted on waiting for the coffee to be done to bring us our water. Food comes out and we don't have plates, silverware or napkins. My boyfriend had to get it from an empty table next to us and the server didn't seem to care or realize that we had to do that at all. The server never came back over to check on us nor did she ever come back and ask if we needed the check. We then had to go to the counter and wait to pay for our meal. This is our second time there with the same exact experience. The system they have in place is terrible and needs adjusting. Won't be back. read more

Atmosphere: 5 Super cute! I love all the floral decor in the cafe and the color theme all matched. Love the wood tone tables and chairs too. The menus could be a little better presented since it's just laminated paper. There are lots of seemingly delicious options on the menu. Love a decorated bathroom! Portion: 5 The portion is just right for me. I felt like my omelette (The Garden) is actually a very well balanced meal with a good amount of protein to veggies to carbs. It kept me full all day! I ordered 2 drinks and they were just about right for the meal. Flavors: 4 I thought the flavors are wonderful specifically without any part of it being overly salty. The potatoes could be a little more crispy and it was a bit dry, but it was well seasoned. The toast had nothing on it, so I'm not sure what the intention of having it was, but I liked that it was perfectly toasted and crunchy. The Blueberry Jewel cocktail was so refreshing! Love the ginger in it since it gave a tiny hint of bite. I was worried about the lemonade in it being too sweet, but it wasn't at all. The crushed blueberries, dried lime and squared ice are such nice details to the drink. The latte was perfectly sweetened. I ordered it with caramel so I didn't have to add additional sweeteners. The amount of caramel in it is just right. Overall, I'd go there again. I would love to have the mocktail again! The waitress was patient and welcoming~ nice vibe there! read more

Happy Monday Adventurers! This place is the perfect addition to downtown Woodbridge. While I am not a fan of the increase and amount of new people in my hometown, I am however excited to see what is being brought commercially. Years ago we had a coffee shop with huge comfy chairs (think Friends), but now it's Main News. But this place is super exciting because of how adorable the flower display is. It's very New York and very on par for welcoming the newer residents. I brought a friend here intending to use the flyer 10% off but completely forgot it at home. They offered honor but I decided to save for a later date. The place is small but it has cute coffee bar seating, front window seating, as well as tables in the rear of the business. I grabbed the Balkania Panini which was soo good and my friend grabbed the Perla Panini which he literally devoured LOL. I also order Mediteranian mocktail(they DO NOT serve alchool), which was refreshing with my meal. The parking can be a pain since it's main but then again go to JC and you'd see worse. I'd say this is theeee perfect spot for brunch with the girls, or morning Zoom sesh for work. Super aestehtically pleasing =] read more

I've noticed Perla for many weeks now as I drive through Main Street fairly regularly in my commute. The cafe front is eye catching with the beautiful blooms and fancy font. Once it opened, I noticed how warm and welcoming it looked inside, even from afar in my car. Today I finally found time to visit! My mom treated me to breakfast for my birthday and I chose Perla. As soon as we walked in, I loved it. The decor is very feminine and inviting. The chairs are so stylish and comfortable. While there are so many cute elements (an old fashion motor bike at the front entrance) it manages to stay tasteful and clean not at all cluttered. Most importantly- FOOD! Let's get down to business. My mom and I always enjoy sharing a sweet and savory dish so we ordered the Sunrise tacos- super fresh, very delicious, and the brownie bliss waffles- great flavors, would have liked the waffle to be a little crispier, I think next time I'll try it as a crepe (you have the option of waffle or crepe for all the flavor profiles in that section). You can't talk about a cafe without talking COFFEE. My mom is a major coffee drinker, loves it and drinks it daily. She ordered a latte with caramel flavor and found it delicious. I couldn't resist trying it because they made a beautiful foam heart on top, so I tried some and had to get my own. Now, I am NOT a coffee drinker, so I'm not sure if that convinces you on how good it was or makes you want to run away, but it was damn good! I ordered the cookie butter latte and I was not disappointed and I drank it all. Overall a lovely experience! The staff was super nice and made sure we were having a great experience. Last but not least- the Blueberry Jewel mocktail, first of all I love that they have a nice selection of mocktails, the Blueberry Jewel was recommended to me by our very helpful and friendly waitress, Rica. It's made with muddled blueberry and ginger beer, the ginger beer gave it a really nice autumn-taste in my opinion and it felt very appropriate for the season! read more

I have a list of requirements for a good coffee shop: beautiful setting, smooth tasting coffee, flavors that aren't overly sweet & hospitable staff. Perla checked off all these boxes and more, making it my new go-to in Woodbridge. The space was bright and open, providing the perfect setting to sit, have a snack and do some work. The coffee surprised me by being not too sweet, especially for one of their specialty lattes. We tried the tiramisu & french toast coffees and it was love at first sip. The flavors were perfectly balanced, unique (because where else are you finding a tiramisu coffee!) and were well worth it for the price in my opinion. While waiting for my coffee I watched the patrons around me with their crepes & brunch plates and immediately felt a sense of jealousy that I didn't have the time to sit and dine in that day. I plan on returning to try some of their other offerings, and am so happy to have found a new cafe in the Woodbridge area! read more

Second visit and still swooning. Perla is what happens when a Pinterest board comes to life--with better lighting and espresso. I stopped by again for a much-needed caffeine moment and tried both the Tiramisu Latte and Cookie Butter Latte (yes, I was feeling main character energy). Both were creamy, sweet, and surprisingly smooth--like drinking dessert without the guilt. The staff were friendly and quick! The vibe? Think European café meets floral daydream. Every corner is Instagram-worthy--from the flower wall to the Vespa casually chilling by the door like it's auditioning for a romcom. Heads up: there are no outlets, so maybe leave the laptop at home and romanticize your coffee moment instead. Haven't tried the food yet, but judging by the display, I might "accidentally" forget to eat lunch next time just to justify a panini. If you're in the neighborhood, Perla is a must sip. read more

Food is just as impressive! I tried the Sunrise tacos and a brownie bliss waffle--everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and came out looking super cute. The croissants were flaky and buttery too.

This spot's a real gem on Main St.! It offers cozy cafe vibes. The staff is very friendly. There's a great selection of breakfast, brunch, and coffee.

The breakfast sandwich was good and the potatoes were a delicious compliment to it. The cookie butter latte was fantastic! If you're looking for a fresh made bite to eat or a tasty latte, Perla is the spot for you. :) read more

stopped by on a wednesday afternoon & was floored by their decor and vibes! there were other customers studying/ working in the back, if you're into that. I was greeted kindly by the barista and cashier, felt very welcomed for my first time here. i ordered an iced tiramisu latte with almond milk and a chocolate croissant and paid a little over $10, both of which were unbelievably delicious! i was worried the drink would be a little too sweet (but also, not sweet enough) and it was perfect!! if you're in woodbridge looking for a sip, skip chains & stop by! read more

Perla - Cookie butter latte & regular latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Woodbridge Township, New Jersey

Hot chocolate: 1/5, service: 2/5, ambiance: 3/5. The hot chocolate was watery and lacked chocolate taste - basically sweet milk/water. When they gave it to me I thought it was a latte because of how light the color was. Super disappointing. Other items like the cookie butter latte looked amazing so I wish I got that. Service was fine but we asked the waitress twice for water which she never brought. I think it would be better if it were only counter service instead of having both table service and counter. Ambiance was nice but they need to adjust some tables so they're not so close together- there is enough space but the table we were at (right next to the counter) was almost touching two other tables and the hosts keep having to squeeze between us. The key is that there is space for them to spread out the tables while maintaining space for walking so didn't make much sense. read more

I came to check this place out with my best friend since we both love a good, cute little coffee shop that is local and this spot did not disappoint! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by the warm, inviting atmosphere and the friendly baristas who genuinely seem to love what they do. The space is beautifully designed with cozy seating, lots of natural light, and a vibe that's perfect for relaxing or getting work done. The coffee itself is outstanding! You can tell they use high-quality beans and care about each cup they serve. I had a caramel iced latte and a muffin and the owner had given us some cannolis to try which were also very flavorful. My coffee was the perfect amount of sweet which I truly enjoyed. The attention to detail and the focus on quality really set this place apart. It has a very European touch that makes me feel like I'm back home. Highly recommend checking this place out--definitely my new go-to coffee spot in town! read more

Saw this place on a reel on Instagram and had to try it. Not very familiar with this area or part of Woodbridge. Right on Main Street. There was street parking which was easy. We sat in the front area before the restaurant because we were just getting coffees. The pace was crowded and new people kept coming in. We got the cookie butter and French toast iced coffees which were delicious and very smooth. The staff was very attentive especially the manager who kept checking on us. Thank you! read more

I went on Sunday to have breakfast with my family. The atmosphere is pleasant, but the service and food are poor, they take forever to take orders, and the food is completely unprofessional , I paid $17 for avocado toast ,The avocado was old and spoiled , and as for the inconsiderate waitress she threw away the food I had forgotten to take with me ,not even 5 minutes had passed, I went back and all she said was sorry!!! I paid for that service and that food, they need better staff in both the kitchen and the waitress team read more

Came here for breakfast this morning. We ordered a flat white with almond milk and a latte with oat milk. Taste was fine, presentation was a little wonky with the latte art. Oddly, the latte didn't come with a saucer but the flat white did. I had an avocado toast and my partner had the Perla panini. The avocado toast was on whole wheat bread, with sliced avocado and two fried eggs. A little disappointed with the assembly, the bread was normal store bought sandwich bread, I had to smash the avocados to make it easier for eating, and the eggs were fried in a circular mold making it appear a bit childish. The panini was good, I liked that they used Turkey bacon instead of pork, as I don't consume pork. The chips on the side were a bit out of place at 9:30 in the morning. We got our check and they charge a credit card fee so we opted for cash. It was an okay experience, almost $50 for everything, so I probably wouldn't come again. read more

Lets get straight to it This place is just nice looking Youre overpaying for everything Nothing on the menu is worth waht you pay for If this is what theyre serving then just go to NY to get your moneys worth All the hype for this place for ehhh decent coffee This place will go out of business in 3 yrs Countdown begins The prices for everything here are ridiculous And to be very clear this place is not quality over quantity I go to NY multiple times a konth just for food period I live in Nj but i eat more in NY than in my own state That should tell it all Im used to eating good all the time and drinking good always and this place is just mediocre Sorry This place is not for anyone and thats why busines isnt booming Money isnt an issue for me Ive spent $20 for a small breakfast sandwich and $8 for 1 cookie $10 for a coffee And because of the quality ive done it with a smile Nothing on this menu arouses the palette sorry If they had put the more time into making better coffee and better food like they did with the decor maybe itll be better and the tables would fill up read more

I had breakfast at Perla in Woodbridge over the weekend and, unfortunately, left feeling a bit disappointed. I ordered the Burrata Toast with Smashed Avocado, and while the presentation was nice, the portion left much to be desired. The avocado was spread very thinly on a single slice of multigrain bread, topped with cherry tomatoes, a small piece of burrata, and balsamic glaze. For the price, I was expecting either two slices of toast or a more generous layer of avocado--something to justify the cost. I also tried a hot matcha latte, but the ratio of matcha powder to milk felt off. The drink started strong, and by the time I reached the bottom third, it was too concentrated to enjoy. I was excited to try Perla as a new breakfast spot close to home, but my expectations weren't quite met this time. I do hope to give them another try later this year and see if they've improved because the concept and menu have potential. read more
