    Cute lil chic Mediterranean cafe, felt like a quick escape from downtown Woodbridge. Chill vibes, extensive coffee and tea selection, the service was great, very friendly. Kinda tight in there so there may be a wait depending on when you go if you choose to eat there, but we had a small party of 2, so we got seated rather quickly. I enjoyed my turkey, bacon, egg, and cheese, croissant, and my wife liked her caprese toast. She really really enjoyed her tiramisu latte. The Ladyfinger was an extra special touch. I would return and suggest to others in the area.

    The restaurant was super cute, and the employees were all really friendly! My drink came out quickly, and I ordered the Iced Cookie Butter Latte and it was so good! My only complaint is that I wish they had added a little more cold foam, but I'd definitely order it again.

    Beautiful decor

    We had such a nice experience. Ordered the matcha and tiramisu latte and they were both delicious. We had the caprese pesto toast and the Royal Lox on toast...so, so good. The service was very pleasant and everything were brought out in a timely manner. The place is also beautiful, loved the decor!

    This was a great cafe for not only a good coffee and a place to whip out my laptop and get some work done, but also get a bite to eat! It's kind of rare to find both. All the good things about Perla: -A very big coffee & food menu! Everything from omelettes to sandwiches to waffles. I got the Amore panini (it wasn't pressed, so not really a panini, but just a good sandwich) My latte was pretty good as well and served very hot which is a huge plus. -Table service, which is a nice change of pace for a cafe. -Strong wifi! Love that it was totally okay to pull out my laptop and work. A great spot that I am sure I'll return to next time I am in need of a cute cafe in the area.

    Super cute decor

    I loved my breakfast sandwich! It's really hard to get a good sandwich that i enjoy I'm a little picky. It was so good i need to visit soon. My coffee was amazing!!! The staff were super sweet and i would go back to eat, get coffee, and even get some work done!

    Ive had brunch here twice and grabbed a quick coffee another time. Nice quaint space and very cozy, walking distance within my neighborhood. Staff is nice and I havent been disappointed. They dont serve alcohol, but its not the end of the world. I know they now serve dinner, and open later, but I have yet to try. Look forward to it.

    I walked in and the police is absolutely beautiful. It is super cute. They have a great menu that you wouldn't expect and their specials for their coffees are fantastic. The customer service was great everyone's friendly. It's very peaceful in here and the food is beautiful.

    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.

    Door to kitchen , florals and seating

    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 :)

    Cookie Butter Latte
    Giovanni L.

    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.

    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!

    The "Panino" I didn't ask for
    Cynthia A.

    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 ...)

    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.

You can tell they…read moreput a lot of attention to detail in creating it, and I think it is definitely shining through. They do have a small parking lot in their back, but it is maybe 3 spots total, so you may need to find street parking. The service is pretty good, although I was initially annoyed they didn't have paper menus and we had to use our phones. Being on your phone with a small child in a restaurant doesn't always go super well. Later I saw a table get a set of paper menus, which I was a little annoyed they didn't just offer us, especially with a small child. The food was overall good. I shared the pancake trio and the Monroe with my son. The pancakes were all really good. We had gotten the strawberry cheesecake, the caramel pecan, and the blueberry lemon. I think my son really liked the strawberry cheesecake. I thought the blueberry lemon were great. The pancakes tasted like they used some sort of lemon zest or something in the batter, as the lemon really shined through nicely. My eggs were a little overcooked, but the bacon was pretty spot on. I had also gotten a hot chocolate which I thought was good, although there was some powdered mix that was not fully incorporated in the bottom. My biggest gripe was they automatically added an 18% gratuity to all parties of two or more, and if you were going to do that, just raise your prices and have a no-tipping policy. I am sure there are solo diners, but basically everyone is getting charged the 18%, so just raise your prices so there is more transparency for what you are being charged since there was literally no single diners there when I was there. There was also a few price things on our bill that I wasn't thrilled about. Their menu has listed items that are additional for an upcharge. When I had ordered the Monroe, I had the option to add cheese to it, and they asked if I would like any cheese with it, so I said sure. The little bit of cheese was an extra $1.50, and I feel like being that they have other things that they clearly called out as an upcharge, they should have let me know it was an extra $1.50 for this. Also on the bill, they charged me for oat milk for my hot chocolate. I had to draw this to their attention that I hadn't ordered oat milk. they merely said, "well we mixed it in." That's not the point, it did taste a little off, and I specifically ordered a regular hot chocolate. While they took the 50 cents off, it did feel like they were just nickeling and diming me on some things. Overall, I had an okay experience. The pancakes were good, but the service was friendly. By the time we left, the place was completely packed and people were waiting outside so I think that speaks to how good the food is and maybe I just had a slightly less positive experience.

Orders were taken pretty quickly, and our food hit the table just as fast. I ordered from their specials -catfish and grits. Let me tell you, the fish was fresh, light, and flavorful, paired with a type of red broth-like sauce on the side that was well seasoned with onions, peppers, and whatever else! I would dip my catfish in the sauce and then head on over to the grits. Delicious! I packed up whatever leftovers I had remaining and ate it before bed. This place is definitely worth revisiting. If catfish is still on the menu, I may pair it with the French toast next time. Other quick notes: Nice ambiance. Smelled CLEAN. Reservations strongly encouraged. BYOB.
