Great idea, it caught our eye and we decided to check it out. Nice & cozy feel, with an Edison theme, small, but plenty of seating. The owner was friendly, and made a good cup of coffee. He pointed out that they had an early Edison invention by the door which was cool. We sat on the comfy sofa people watching while sipping our coffee up until the Park opened. Definitely a bright idea to visit this Shop on your way to explore.

REVIEW UPDATE: Last…read moreweekend my husband and I stopped in Light Bulb Coffee Shop. He got an Americano. I asked the barista what she would recommend - she said an Iced Chai with flavored syrup. I went with her recc and went with pistachio. It was good. We sat inside and the place set is in full Halloween mode. Plus there are neat tabletop games and a legit piece of history inside. Another day, I stopped in to pick up drinks to go for a day trip car ride. An Americano for him (again) and a Mocha Latte for me with almond milk. I normally don't get lattes but I'm glad I did because it was really well made. Perfect on a fall morning. I would recommend checking Light Bulb Coffee Shop out if you have chance!

This store, even from the outside, is just so welcoming and so inviting. The color scheme is an eye pleaser. Upon entering, the staff welcomed me and they were very friendly throughout the whole visit. Not too busy at this time. I did see some tables outside to sit and a couple inside. There's a bar on the side with some stools as well. I got the mocha latte with non dairy cold foam and wow, I don't know how they got the cold foam to literally taste the same as one with dairy. Strong coffee and very flavorful. They also have free stickers! Definitely will be back to try other flavors!

There is almost always music playing and I really appreciate them taking orders over the phone and online. They also have this cool complimentary option of personalizing your cup with a black & white photo of you if you ask. I've also had the turmeric latte and the avocado toast which are worth getting again. The toast was fresh and flavorful. They also have an enclosed booth that looks like it seats 4. Great for a little open privacy. The couches are quite comfortable as well. They have punch cards which is good, but I'm terrible with remembering so it would be great if they went digital with rewards. Maybe 1 point per visit or 1 point per $1 with tiered rewards. Would love to see more vegan options on the menu, maybe a cinnamon roll lol.

It was rich & sweet with the perfect amount of cinnamon. I also ordered the "Harper's Club with turkey bacon" and it was a 10/10! The hot honey was the cherry on top. I will definitely have to go back and try their coffee, but I am confident it will not disappoint. It is a smaller coffee shop, so seating is somewhat limited, but I went on a Saturday afternoon and it was not busy at all. I wouldn't say the space is all that aesthetic, it certainly has more of a chill, laid back vibe. But there are very cool paintings along the side wall, and even a little gondola lift booth that I think is very unique :) They also have a section with a bunch of games to play at your table too, which is cool!

There is spaces in the front on a sidewalk but signs there to not allow parking. Other street parking is a rarity due to it being off a busy main street. Nonetheless, the spot is very cute, with a floral wall with an orange couch for picture opportunities. There is ample seating, 2 seater, 4- seater and some high-tops. Wifi is available and free so this is a great working spot. I ordered the cappucino and the chicken mozzarella sandwich. The sandwich took a while as my server forgot to put my order in. Also, the sandwiches are pre-made and refrigerated. My cappuccino was pretty good and sandwich was good. Overall, a nice vibe for a coffee shop. Close to the Orange Train Station

Anyway, since then I've been back 3 more times; once for breakfast and twice for brunch. And while I'm confessing, the two times for lunch were on subsequent days. Yeah, they're that good. Actually, their chicken salad on a croissant is the best I've ever had and in my advanced years I've had a crapload of chicken salad. The have a nice sized coffee bar, decorated beautifully with some pretty delicious looking pastries. I'm on an anti-sweet phase so I'm basing my opinion on only on appearance. Then there's a seating area when you can eat, served by a friendly attentive staff and an adjacent boutique area where you can purchase housewares, clothing and other cool stuff. I'm not in Maplewood all that often, generally when I'm shopping at the equally awesome City Workshop but when I do, I always make sure to hit up Perch. You should too. 1/2 star deduction because they don't offer fake sugar, just that Stevia crap which is gross.

The wall frames and Christmas decorations are gorgeous and there are tables, with comfortable seating, on one end of the Cafe. I ordered the following: Matcha White Hot Chocolate (a traditional matcha latte blended with white chocolate sauce), Snickerdoodle Latte (A traditional latte, blended with brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla syrup). Both of these were served at the perfect temperature, were richly creamy, and served in large mugs. I also ordered a Carrot Cake Muffin and it was very good. It was moist, each forkful had a decent amount of walnuts, and the frosting was exquisite. Once you're finished with your food, don't forget to stroll through the entire cafe. You'll probably find something that will pique your interest. Either way, try to make time to enjoy it all.

Nice black-owned spot with variety of vegan options and it is clean. There's space to dine-in and they are open on Sundays. The energy is also open enough where strangers will have a convo while waiting. Coming from Brooklyn, I'm happy to have this spot so close to where I am now. Savory: My go-to is the chickpea tuna sandwich. I've tried it on a roll, long sub, and gluten-free... highly recommend the long sub. It's way too messy on the roll for me. Typically get it with the works. The potato salad is also very good most of the time (sometimes the potatoes are a little undercooked). I've also had the macaroni salad and the fried mushroom sandwich which are also good. I definitely enjoyed the thanksgiving special with stuffing (highly recommend that if they bring it back this year). Tip: if ordering a hero and you don't see yourself eating the entire thing in one sitting, I recommend requesting for the sandwich to not be cut so you can cut it evenly on your own For baked goods: the peach cobbler is good and it comes in a cute cup with a little spoon. I've also had the lemon cake & rum cake. Would order all 3 again. Would love to see donuts or cinnamon rolls (hopefully without cashews or walnuts due to my allergy). DRINKS: I haven't had a drink there that I would get again. The teas are overwhelmingly sweet; hibiscus punch was a lot like kool-aid to me. I also don't recommend the matcha if you are a matcha snob. Harper's Cafe is a great black-owned spot for a consistently good latte and they use quality matcha if you want quality nearby. Great spot with lots of options, especially if you're looking for a black-owned spot to support.
