I stopped by Perq Coffee Bar for a hot drink and breakfast. The shop was packed around 9a on a weekday. I waited about 10 minutes before I was able to order which gave me enough time to figure out what I wanted. Matcha Sweet White + almond milk (4/5) - comforting matcha latte that was lightly sweetened Acai Bowl (5/5) - This acai bowl was packed with fruit and toppings. I loved the different textures, especially the cocoa almond butter and bee pollen. read more

Our new favorite Coffee shop in Sarasota with a very knowledgeable Owner serving up authentic coffee customized for each order. Also the food unique - egg bake and the most exquisite cinnamon toast we've ever had! Be sure to check it out when visiting Sarasota and worth the trek for those that live nearby. read more

We were there on a Saturday morning and there was a pretty good line, but I think it was because the poor guy behind the counter was by himself, but he was doing good. We got some breakfast sandwiches, which were amazing, one of the best biscuit sandwiches I have ever had. read more

The coffees were divine! The pastries made our Saturday sweet! Sun on the front porch under the umbrella added positively to our day! Thank you! read more

Fantastic drink, service, and ambiance. This coffee shop does it all very well. I didn't try any of the food, but it looked delicious. The mocha I had was wonderful. Outside, it was a perfect day to hangout and the area to sit outside is welcoming and pleasant. The negative would be that there was a long line because there was only one barista taking orders and drinks, not sure if that's normal or not. The drink was also pretty expensive. I'm willing to overlook those two things though because overall, a fantastic experience!! read more

Perq Coffee Bar - Mocha - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sarasota, Florida

I will be a little bold here and say this is the best coffee shop in Sarasota. In terms of food, coffee, and ambience, it wins all hands down. What really makes this coffee shop special to me is the variety of food and how fresh and delicious it is. Some of my favorites are the bagel sandwich, parfait, and biscuit sandwich. Their bacon is next level and the egg they use on their sandwiches is really well seasoned which just makes everything extra tasty. Coffee is a little pricey but worth every penny. They have great quality beans and exceptional service. Definitely check this place out if you're in the area. The hours are pretty short (but very impressive considering only two people work here!) read more

Service is TERRIBLE. Nice spot. But the owner, though a nice man, seems to be a terrible owner. Too cheap to hire just one more person who can make all the drinks while he rings in the orders, or vice versa. But you've got one guy standing at the register taking orders answering questions and making all the drinks while the lines are always out the door. It's ridiculous. This is such an easy problem to solve which makes it all the more annoying. People have shit to do. Especially in the morning. He doesn't seem to understand that he would do more business AND improve the customer experience by just adding one minimum wage person. Smh. Hope he reads this. read more

We stopped in here for breakfast before heading back home to Indianapolis. We each ordered a cappuccino with almond milk and a Breakfast Sammy with cheddar. We also got a blueberry cake donut and a pistachio muffin to share because they didn't have a whole lot of pastry options. There was only one person working when we went and it was very busy, so it was a little bit of a wait. Granted it was a Friday morning, so that could be why (or just because they are great). The coffee only came in one size, which I was a little sad about since we needed the pep for driving, but that's okay because they were delicious. The breakfast sandwiches came out super hot and after they cooled down a bit we devoured them. The parmesan egg was incredible!! So savory. We split the pistachio muffin and blueberry cake donut later on during our drive. While both were great, we both wished we had each just gotten our own blueberry cake donut. It was so moist and filled to the brim with blueberries. A must have little treat if you stop in! read more

Such a gem of a spot! The owners are a husband-and-wife team he crafts the coffee, and she makes everything homemade in the kitchen. They're originally from Australia and rotate their coffee roasters weekly, featuring espresso blends from all over the U.S. I had what might be the best coffee I've ever tasted: a single-origin Ethiopian blend from Portland, Oregon. We both ordered maple lattes and were blown away. Absolutely worth the stop! Well done ! read more

Every time we are in Sarasota we come here. We love this place, great coffee and atmosphere!

Tried their most popular breakfast sandwich and I would say it's worth the hype. I'm usually not a fan of baked eggs but everything on the sandwich worked perfectly together. I've frequented a few time and have either gotten a latte or their cold brew and it's great, quality coffee. My only gripe is that they're a bit pricey. I got the same drink my first two visits but the price was different, a bit confusing. The first time my latte was around $6 and when I came back it was close to $9 *head scratcher* overall a great coffee shop. The owner is really kind and provided recommendations on one of my visits read more

In love with this coffee shop. If you enjoy real coffee and authentic service run to PERQ! 10/10! This is the only place that I would absolutely pay $9 for a latte! And their breakfast sami's are phenomenal! read more

Fantastic coffee, service, and ambiance. There sometimes can be a line but it always moves fast. Great addition to the area!

I make a daily coffee run to Perq. If not daily, at the very least a couple times a week. Their coffee and matcha has never disappointed me. Their espresso is far superior to anyone else's in town. My favorite drink has been memorized and is perfectly made right on the spot every time. The service is amazing and so is their food! The classy wooden feel of the place gives an edge to breakfast no other little place gives me in this town. The best by far in my opinion! read more

Fast review.. . Quick celebratory cappuccino decalf with nut milk. I was a $500 plus/month Starbucks gold card guy in NYC for years. They went woke and crazy and I stopped with them. THIS was a very very awesome brew and nicely made and tasty. A bit $$ but a nice treat for me. Service fast, pleasant. The place looks awesome for relaxing and I was waiting for the Sarasota retired Friends cast to show up?? (smile) read more

If you are a coffee connoisseur, don't waste your time going anywhere else, this place was amazing from the coffee to the food. The lines were long but well worth the wait, he pumped it out pretty quick. read more

This is a go-to when we're in Sarasota. Gets busy so it's a place we relax or work at for a bit while we wait. Coffee is excellent--we usually order the cappuccino and cortado. The cortado is a bit on the bitter side, so if that doesn't appeal to you but you like a strong flavor, the flat white is delicious. We love how they expanded and decorated with outdoor space. Lots of plants that provide an airy enclosure. Bright green furniture and umbrellas as usual; high tables, but there's more comfortable seating inside. read more

BEST COFFEE IN TOWN hands down! The second you walk in you can tell how meticulously thought out everything is, and you better believe that extends into the coffee making AND food. We tried a BUNCH of coffee places during our stay, but this place is in a league of its own. So, skip the disappointment and wasted money, and just come here! read more

Great coffee. Plenty of variety to pick from. This place seems like a coffee purist Mecca. Single origin beans. Don't sleep on their breakfast sammiches either. The hash brown sando is messy but very good read more

Love when I visit my parents because we walk to Perq Saturday mornings. I am obsessed with their pistachio and honey avocado toast. They have great coffees and delicious bakery treats. My cousin is extremely gluten free so he LOVES their GF options. Very chill vibe. Outdoor seating. Easy street parking. Love it! Recommend for the perfect cafe! read more

Fantastic coffee and fantastic service. Never had a disappointing coffee from here. If you're a fan of Starbucks sugary drinks, this may not be the place for you. I love the Kyoto drip iced coffee and the flat whites. If you're hungry, their food options are amazing as well! I always tell myself I'm going for the coffee, but I end up getting sucked into to a tasty breakfast item every time. My personal favorite is the Biscuit Sammy w/ pimento cheese. It's definitely a hidden gem. read more

I was reading the reviews since I am an avid yelper haha, and I was surprised by the amount of people who said it was unfriendly service. I was greeted right away, was given an explanation as to why all the coffee was called something different, and even got an honest recommendation when I did not know what I was in the mood for. This guy knows his coffee! However, I will say I spent $13 on this coffee you see in this picture. I did get a quad shot and used oat milk with a combination of maple, but even so, at any coffee place I've ever gone to and got a custom drink like that, it has never been that much. The only thing I would complain about is the price and the average tasting coffee for that price The ambiance is fantastic! I love the atmosphere. It is fun, tranquil, and definitely gives you that downtown Los Angeles vibe. read more

I travel to lots of great coffee shops and I have to say Keith and Erin do it right @ Perq. All ingredients are top notch and crafted perfectly from the coffee drinks to the bagel sandwiches. Best Bagel Sandwich I've ever had, hands down. Featuring MadCap, Three Ships, and Heart roasters, the coffee hits the spot whether hot or cold, and Keith and Erin provide a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy their wonderful drinks and cuisine. read more

I love their latte with almond milk. Their healthy breakfast bowl with coconut yogurt, granola and fruit is very good. I had the gluten free avocado which was nice and fresh. The toast could have been toastier. Service is great, one huy doing everything, incredible. Nice comfy place. read more

This is a really great, local coffee shop. The coffee is truly delicious, they definitely take pride in their craft. However, the drink prices are HIGH. The food prices are pretty fair. I ordered a 'caramel iced coffee'- the barista let me know they don't have caramel but they make a similar sauce in house. Now, their sauce was even better than a caramel so I'll give them that but I was shocked when he said my total for 1 coffee was $7.49 My receipt said I ordered an iced latte with a $1 charge for the flavoring, so maybe they treat the latte like their iced coffee. Just be aware. (I didn't order a specialty dairy substitution but imagine that would be extra too) The atmosphere, the staff and the drinks are all lovely. It's a great shop. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars is due to price, for me $7.49 is too much to justify for a beverage, which is a shame because the location is ideal for me! read more

Step away from the easy-to-get commercial coffee shop and go to Perq for a high quality experience. It's my first time here and I'm loving the vibes. It's a casual spot designed with light wood, green tones, and natural sunlight for a warm feeling. Drip coffee can be seen if you look up towards the ceiling which was a neat touch. There's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating to choose from. Now the coffee and food are insta-worthy. I ordered a scratch-made chocolate chip scone. It was decorated with a generous portion of chocolate chips. The inside was soft and outside has the typical scone like crust. Absolutely delicious! I ordered a mocha with decaf and was pleasantly surprised when I got it. Now I've ordered many mochas, but I have never received one with artwork on top. I was tickled pink. I'll be back and will bring my coffee loving guests here when they come to visit. read more

I did it again. What the hell is wrong with me. Why wouldn't I read my own review first or look at the darn menu. Large coffee with a shot of espresso and oat milk. Over $11!! Double anywhere else. I don't understand how this place stays so busy. Yes. I am willing to pay for quality but y'all know there's 2 or 3 coffee shops downtown just a few miles away where you can get the same high quality coffee for 1/2 the price? My fault my fault my fault. But you don't get to charge $11 for a $5 red eye and not get called out for it. Oil companies and pharmaceutical companies could learn a thing or two from this price gouging. read more

Very delicious coffee. I wanted to order another but I would have been bouncing off the walls. Their avocado toast and breakfast sandwich were delicious. Service was great and the place is very nice. We sat outside and enjoyed our coffee and food al fresco. Would definitely recommend to all the coffee lovers out there when in Sarasota. read more

Perq is the best coffee shop around! We've been coming here for the last year and no coffee shop comes close to this one. Yes it's a little pricier than your average cafe, but the quality and smoothness of coffee is on another level. Iced flat white with maple always hits the spot! We always grab a bag to go as they're sourced from micro lots. Keith runs the show himself and the service is always top notch! read more

I was so happy to find this lovely establishment right near the hospital where my mom has had an extended stay! I was even happier when they provided this picky customer with an almond matcha latte with stevia! I wish I would've found this place sooner. Great aesthetic, super friendly staff & outdoor seating as well! Definitely try Perq! read more

Easy 5/5 star rating. The bartender is very friendly and knowledgeable about coffee. So many options to pick from including many milk alternatives. All of this at a competitive price at other specialty coffee places. My sister and I opted for the honey almond milk ice flat white which is the equivalent to an iced late and it was phenomenal! Perfect amount of sweetness. My mom got the matcha lemonade and omg it was so refreshing and you can adjust the sweetness to your liking. Free wifi so you can post up and do some work or studying. Really cute and clean on the inside. Would recommend! Thank you :) read more

Perq is a really nice coffee shop behind Sarasota memorial. Their food is handmade and so tasty. Coffees were so interesting in taste. I really wanted to try everything on the menu and was blown away with the biscuit egg, bacon, pimento cheese. The bagel Sammy was also delightful. Tried a flat white and the iced coffee. Super clean inside, very chill spot. 10/10 recommend. read more

My recent trip was lacking. I was so looking forward to a decent glass of nitro. Unfortunately they weren't offering it during my recent visit so I settled for their iced coffee. It was okay....not bad but not good neither. I've been frequenting this place for the past several years on my visits to SRQ. Now they seem to be living on past laurels. read more

Just stopped in for a quick bite and a quick pick me up after Ubering the beautiful SRQ area all night. Double expresso shot on point! I also tried the egg bake wich was healthy and delicious! Located on Hillview across the street from Mortons and Sarasota Memorial in Hillview Plaza....a local favorite area This is definately one of the best coffee shops in the SRQ area...tremendous service and a quality coffee. Highly recommend and will be back! Thanks Perq. Great experience! Aeropress Americano Avocado Toast Biscuit Sandwich Matcha Mortons Slayer...lol read more

A little hole in the wall coffee stop. Everything is freshly brewed. As I only drink decaffeinated coffee and tea the selections were minimal. I can see why people would enjoy going here, but I was less than impressed with their decaffeinated coffee. read more

One of the biggest things I look for in coffee is nitro cold brew style. Good thing Perq is in the Sarasota area when I travel because they have it and it's really good! I believe they have two versions of it, both on tap. Taste: First, it's on point with a great balance of smooth and bold. It's not overly bitter. I literally was able to spend the whole day sipping it down as if it was water. Magic water of course. Price: Nitro brew runs $5. I always tip so mine came out to about $6 or so. Totally worth it as Nitro style is typically the most expensive at your average coffee shop. Caffeine boost: First time I tried it, it was a mid-day pick me up and my god did it pick me up. I was able to crank out a bunch of work and go all the way until 10 PM before crashing (started at 6 AM). Next day, I had a little leftover from the day prior, kicked up to crank out a bunch of work starting at 5 AM and I was able to get a complete workout in after finishing all my work. Using it now around 10 AM to get me through the 5 PM rush, this stuff is on point with getting you up and going as well as staying focused! Highly recommend. read more
