Perkatory Coffee Roasters

Perkatory Coffee Roasters on Main Street in Middletown is an absolute gem! They offer a wide variety of coffee options that cater to every taste, and each cup is brewed to perfection. The ambiance is amazing, with some of the best artwork and graffiti I’ve ever seen in a coffee shop—it’s truly a vibe! The staff is incredibly nice and polite, making the experience even better. I’m especially grateful to Chelsey who allowed me to record a vlog for my YouTube channel, @TrippinWithBasit, which was such a kind gesture and speaks volumes about how welcoming they are. Highly recommend this spot for coffee lovers, art enthusiasts, or anyone looking for a cozy, creative space in town!

Perkatory has some amazing coffee. The selection of drinks they offer are unique. I wish they had a location closer to the New London Area. I know if they opened one closer to the Navy Base area, it would be very popular. Fingers Crossed !

I always look for unique coffee shops while traveling & this place was RAD! Located in a historic industrial building this coffee shop has allll the cool vibes! Got an iced oat milk latte for the road & it was amazing! Coffee was strong & delicious! They gave a nice portion of oat to make it creamy! Perfect!

Great atmosphere and coffee. A little out of the way (and a challenging parking lot in the winter) but well worth the trip.

I love their coffee. They offer a few interesting options. I really enjoy their lavender lemonade. I try to check out one of their monthly creations. The locations have unique designs decorum. The music they play is pretty good too.

I love this place so much, I stop by almost every morning for my daily coffee. Drinks are great, monthly specials are so unique and fun! Food is delicious as well, I definitely recommend the bacon egg and cheese empanada. The location may be off the beaten path but you can tell how much time has been spent decorating and it makes such a cute spot!

Perkatory Coffee is a great place to grab a delicious up of coffee. I’m a straight forward cup of regular coffee person and their dark roast is outstanding. The counter help is a great asset to this place. Always a smile and willingness to assist you.

This is a place I never knew I needed to exist, but I am so glad it does. The name and theme are so cute - who doesn’t love a spooky coffee moment? Inside was such a unique and fun experience that I had to buy a commemorative t-shirt. For my drink I got an almond latte. Again, never knew I needed to combine almond syrup with coffee but here we are and my world has been changed. I am so glad that there are a few locations in CT. I will be checking the other ones out.

Exceptional local coffee spot where they roast their own, excellent, coffee and have a slew of great choices on their menu. Welcoming environment, friendly staff and clean cafe. Tell me about triple success!

First started visiting this place 4 years ago and I've never been anywhere else for coffee!! The beans are so fresh, ground or whole bean, and the ambiance of this place is calming and welcoming. Prices are reasonable and they have a variety of coffee and different and new coffee flavors frequently! Plus, if you buy a bag of coffee, you get a free small cup of coffee! What else could you really ask for! Frequent happy customer

Delicious coffee with great flavorings! They also have a rotating selection of monthly specials! The atmosphere is a bit eclectic where it's aimed at skulls and skateboards.

Awesome spot! Coffee is the best in town- robust and deep. The vibes are great as well as the tunes (alternative/punk) the art is stellar and the live plants bring life to the place. Highly recommend!

Perkatory has a cool vibe - I've been to the Southington location as well. I recently stopped by with my husband and ordered a Coconut Cold Brew, while he ordered a hot Mocha Latte. I enhanced my drink by adding ube cold foam. The cold foam had a nice authentic ube taste but once mixed it disappeared. The coffee itself was good though. I also tried the Mexican Street Corn Danish, which was pretty good and filling. I'll be coming back soon to try other cold brew flavors!

I love Perkatory, but this was my first visit at this location! I got their special "The Dark Tower" which is a cookie butter amaretto mocha latte. This seemed like a lot of flavor for me, but it blended together so well! Their specials always surprise me! When I was there they also had a candle and flower pop up shop and I LOVE local supporting local! Tons of seating. There may be a line on the weekends, but it moves fast and you can always order ahead! They have some good pastries and bagels available, but I do wish I was possible to get an egg sandwich here. Staff was very nice. I love the vibe of this place!

Came here for a study date with my friends the other day. The vibes were great. There was good music playing, Ferris Bueller's Day Off was playing on the TV, there was free wi-fi, and my matcha was yummy! I added salted caramel to it for sweetness and flavor, and it ended up reminding me of the salted caramel cold foam from Starbucks in the best way possible.

My awesome daughter was in Middletown recently and bought me some Perkatory light-medium blend whole bean coffee- it's absolutely scrumptious and I will definitely be buying more!!

Awesome, fun ambiance, delicious coffee! I have returned here several times when we are in town. Wait can be long but online order is very fast

I cannot come in here without being treated rudely by the baristas. My spouse or I come in to buy a bag of coffee approximately every 4-5 days and we're always pleasant and it's not cheap coffee. The few times I've gotten a prepared coffee drink it's clear the grinder hasn't been dialed in and the baristas don't know how to pull a shot properly. The baked goods are subpar and the croissants are barely laminated. The only reason we buy coffee regularly is because it's the only place in town to get high quality regularly roasted beans.

Such a cool coffee spot! I love stopping here for a quick latte or to try some local coffee beans. I love their skater/skeleton vibe and hanging out on the comfy couches. This spot is a little hidden since you can't see it from the street, but it's right behind Eli Cannon's if you turn into that parking area.

Anyone who knows us, knows Perkatory is our favorite local coffee shop. About 15 minutes away but we love making the trip. They have awesome monthly specials with unique flavors we always have to try! Staff is friendly and accommodating with questions or substitutions. They know their stuff! Since working from home, we love taking a lunch break to grab a coffee with our pup. Yes, they allow dogs inside and it's wonderful! Ask for a pup cup of course. You'll always see at least one dog inside when you visit and it's great. So happy for them and their multiple locations we also visit frequently!

A hidden little gem. Good coffee. Unique flavors to choose from. Really cute spot. Clean. And spacious. Good place to read even.

Great coffee, service and groovy atmosphere. There are many caffeinated options to choose from at Perkatory. Also a lot of cool, colorful artwork to enjoy while waiting at this popular coffee haven. I will be making Perkatory part of my regular routine.

We are officially addicted to Perkatory coffee. During our most recent visit, I got a large Banana Fosters latte and my boyfriend got the Blackberry Mocha Cold Brew. They were both so incredibly good and full of flavor we wanted endless refills. The staff is always very friendly no matter how busy they are. I love that they are always supporting local vendors by hosting pop up shops in the front of their cafe. Delicious coffee, cozy and cool cafe with a friendly staff -- what's not to love?

This place is a nice little place to hang out and get some work done, chill with friends, or pick up an afternoon refresher. It's is a coffee shop, but I love that they have other options as well. I went for a matcha lemonade drink special they had at the moment which was equal parts savory and acidic. I also got one of their cannoli squares which was a nice surprise; not too sweet and the pastry wasn't very flaky or messy. The establishment itself is decorated in a way the reminds me of a skater turned librarian opening up a rock cafe in the forest. Go there and you will totally understand what I mean! The woman behind the counter was incredibly kind and gave great recommendations as well before I put my order in. I guess the only down side would be that they are only open until 5pm, but that's not out of the norm in this town. It would definitely be a nice place to catch a non alcoholic beverage after work as well if they extended their hours. Can't wait to go back.

We tried Perkatory Coffee about a week ago and weren't disappointed. I'm not a coffee drinker, so I had the lavender lemonade. A little sweet, but great flavor. Next time, I'll try it sparkling. My husband had a mocha, which he really enjoyed. Plenty of options for coffee and non coffee drinkers!

Such a nice, locally owned coffee spot. This is a small ,Connecticut based chain owned by a great husband and wife team. Coffee is roasted fresh at the Middletown location. They have seasonal selections for coffees and a variety of other beverages plus baked goods. If you are tired of the big national chains, give Perkatory Coffee Roasters a try, you won't be sorry.

I honestly love this place. The skeletons. Punk Rock vibes. Love everything about it. Not also does it have the aesthetics I gravitate to, the latte are so good as well. While I can't remember at all what latte I ordered on this particular visit, it was definitely one of the lattes on the specials that day. For me, finding businesses that are down with me creating content is always a plus for me. I was also informed about them having a location in Southington so of course I had to check them out. Stay tuned for that review. (Spoiler warning - the only that will be different will be the photos)

Excellent coffee, cool vibe. Staff is friendly and although the line was out the door, it moved quickly. No hot food options but they have bagels, muffins...etc.

Dog friendly & delicious coffee! The service was prompt and the atmosphere was great!

I noticed the three Perkatory Coffee shops I've been to, they're all in sneaky, hidden locations, never on an obvious Main Street. While this location is technically on Main Street, it's still hidden from the Main Street attractions, if you're not looking for it you might miss it. Perkatory is so fun inside. There's skeletons and skateboarding art everywhere! I loved the comfy couch and the shelf full of board games and plants. There were several young people catching up, working on their computers, some might be writing Yelp reviews. I was in a lemonade type of mood. I got their Sparking Lemonade, it comes in two flavors, Strawberry and Lavender. I went with strawberry. This was a notch above regular flavored lemonade, because it has sparkling water in it, making it a $5.00 well spent. This was just right, it was lightly sweetened, a generous size, and for sure very refreshing on a hot day. I have a feeling no actual lemons were used in the process of making my Sparking Strawberry Lemonade, but that's ok. I noticed the case where they keep their baked goods was almost completely bare. There was one apple and one slice of apple strudel. One star off for that. This is a good spot to get a coffee or a cool drink when in Middletown.

I ordered a specialty coffee....strawberry, I believe. When the cream was poured in it, it curdled. The barista said it was supposed to be that way. Is this really a thing? Not for me. Our order took a while. I do think it was an off day. I did like this place in spite if it, though. The other coffee I got was very good.

GREAT, GREAT, GREAT!!!!!! Best coffee ever Staff very pleasant and upbeat. Baked goods, out of this world! Kudos to the Baker. Had apple crisp cupcake, very generous size and very moist!!!!!

1. Obsessed. 2. I live in MA and my favorite coffee shop is in CT!!! Normally I get something off the monthly specials list when I visit. Top notch cold foam. I've had the PB fluff, the Wookiee cookie, a few others. But my favorite so far was the PB&J last weekend OMG delicious and I would get it every single time. Went for another special and saw that last minute and I'm so glad i did. I think I love this place so much not only because the awesome decor, sweet merch (bf and I l have grabbed a few shirts, glasses, stickers etc), but the staff is friendly even when there's 20 people in line they are on the ball! The coffee is A1. So good to get a specialty coffee that still tastes like COFFEE!!! Needless to say I'm a regular whenever I'm in town.

Another great experience with these guys. Always something new to try and fulfill my caffeine fix. Next to want to grab their coffee spice rub for meats on the grill!

Such a cool little coffee shop, the meme drinks well, the coffee is amazing, I actually use their coffee when I do my coffee rubbed venison lol. Everyone is super friendly, just a neat little spot to hang out.

Great vibe and good coffee. Went to the location where they roast the beans and added a little more fun to the experience. We ordered the drip coffee, light roast, which was smooth and had good consistency. Ordered a blueberry muffin which was fantastic as well!

A little hard to find if you're not familiar with the area and the parking can get dicey depending on what time of day you visit, but if you can look past those two minor inconveniences then you've found yourself a pot of gold. Black liquid gold. Nestled along Kings Avenue, Perkatory has honed in on the process of making a great cup of coffee by roasting and grinding their own beans. The inside is inviting with an open layout and plenty of seating for studying, catching up with friends, or slowing down from the daily grind. The staff are incredibly welcoming and were helpful in navigating the many options on the wall. I ended up getting an iced latte with lavender and vanilla which took me back to the summer and its warm weather that I was missing on a cold day like today. They have bags of their coffee available to purchase that they roast in house accompanied with signs explaining the roasting process, origin of the bean, and tasting notes. They'll even grind them for you to your brewing preference to set you up for success when you get home. You can pair your coffee with a few pastries they source locally like vegan chocolate chip cookies from ION bakery right on Main Street. Don't sleep on their seasonal drinks! For the holidays they are offering a gingerbread latte, an eggnog latte, a peppermint white mocha latte, and a ginger cranberry espresso mocktail (which I'll have to try next time I stop in).

We love coming here! Expensive but you get what you pay for, and once you have coffee here... Dunkin just doesn't do it anymore. The people there are also super nice and the place itself it comfortable. We bring the kids and they consider it a fun outing to go see the skeleton.

This place had some nice options but i especially love the atmosphere! Outside of coffee they had some teas and sparkling lemonade. I got the strawberry one which was really nice and refreshing. I also got a slice of the banana bread which was really nice and fresh. They offered other little bakery items which was nice. The staff was also very nice and quick. I came here to do some work which and was very relaxed due to the big space, ample seating, and great homey decor. they also had some board games available. i noticed they also had a sign with a couple pop up events / shops which i thought was really cool. will definitely be back!

Super cute vibey coffee spot! Loved all the decor and the flavors. I got the lavender coffee soda and it was really refreshing. Gotta check this one out!

Call me Dante, because I visited Perkatory this morning on my way to Southern CT. I've recently concluded that coffee review scores are among the least helpful Yelp scores. Most coffee drinkers have strong individual beverage preferences and we're all scoring relative to our own tastes. My black cold brew rating doesn't really help my Yelp friend who drinks espresso, or lattes, or single origin Peruvian Washed pour overs with cream and sugar. But as the corporate cliche goes, it is what it is. This was my first trip to Perkatory. I generally prefer iced coffee that was initially brewed hot to cold brew because I like the initial extraction to be in the 195-205 degree F range for flavor reasons, but I didn't see that iced coffee was an option. The black cold brew was decent. I asked the barista which coffee they use and she said a name that I couldn't hear, followed by "light roast". I assumed I could figure it out after the fact from the cool skate deck coffee signs that Perkatory uses, but they currently have three light roasts. The Ethiopian Ardi was the name that clicked, but I could be wrong. In any event, the coffee was fairly balanced and I didn't detect much of a fruit, floral or chocolate taste. I did pick up some tea notes. I prefer more of a juice bomb with bright acidity, and therefore this cold brew was merely decent for me. They apparently change things up occasionally and my next experience could be better. Service was friendly. The space, which is part of a large building to the north of Eli Cannon's, was large, open and filled with life. There were many people there, but it didn't feel crowded. I liked the use of skate decks in the decorating, but otherwise the branding didn't really speak to me. They had a food truck out front, which I assume shows the popularity of Perkatory. Based only upon my black cold brew, I give Perkatory 3 Stars. But if you drink something else, you may have a completely different experience.

This is definitely a funky, cool coffee shop located right off the main st of Middletown. The space is really open with lots of seating and a good amount of outlets. You even have the option of sitting along the bar where you can watch them make drinks which is pretty cool. I ordered a black coffee and my bf ordered the chai latte with almond milk. The coffee was great! So smooth yet bold with flavor. The barista was really nice and even offered to let me sample a bit before I ordered a full cup. My bf really liked his chai latte. I personally thought the spice flavor was a little too light for me. It's definitely not a bold, spicy chai. For food, we got a pumpkin muffin and a double chocolate muffin. They were pretty standard. I wish they had some more options since they only had cookies or muffins in the bakery case.

Love this quirky coffee shop! It can be crowded on weekends but there are lots of seats. There are local vendors set up, selling cupcakes or handmade jewelry. Also, there is free parking in a lot.

Excellent coffee with monthly specials! You can purchase their blends to brew their coffee at home as well! Highly recommend checking this rad place out! Support your local businesses!!

Love it here- a frequent meet up spot for my friends and I. Always fantastic coffee, plenty of seating which is great. Cool vibes. Friendly staff.

This is my new favorite coffee shop. I'm so lucky that it's here in Middletown. Unfortunately, there's no way I can make it here before work. It will be have to be my weekend coffee shop...I can't wait for the weekends! If you've ever parked behind Eli's in Middletown, you'll know how to find Perkatory. Located in an old brick building with high ceilings, it has an edgy, industrial vibe. The front room does offer some cozy seating, but if you want to be near the action (and refills), you have a choice of the bar area or small tables. Perkatory offers roasted coffee beans, coffee, tea & hot chocolate. I have been here a handful of times and have only ordered the Lochness...a creamy, sweet latte. One day I will order something else, but this drink is perfection! Hungry? They have small case of baked goods with large scones, cookies & muffins. My son ordered the S'mores scone and couldn't put it down! If you follow their Facebook page you'll get updates to their comedy shows, live music and other events. We love the staff, always friendly and helpful. A great addition to Middletown!

Middletown is home to so many places I love, and Perkatory is yet another! Perkatory sells delicious coffee In a cool, yet welcoming, setting. They have a variety of drinks, including hot chocolate and chai tea. I tried one of their monthly special lattes, called "Dead and Breakfast", which was a brown butter maple flavor. I ordered it iced with oat milk, and it was so good!! It was a bit sweet, but that's what I was hoping for with a maple latte. I also appreciated that I felt the caffeine kick after drinking it. The service was friendly and quick. They offer a small selection of bagels and pastries, but the focus is more on the drinks. If you appreciate good coffee, you will surely like it. I am already planning my next visit!!

Love this place! The coffee is smooth, and customer service has always been on point! This visit, I bought a couple of bags of whole beans to send to my son in Hawaii, as well as a cup of mocha latte. The young lady who was behind the counter was very sweet and helpful! They had a full house by Covid standards, and a lot of walk ins. Glad to see they're doing well through all of this.

Such a cool coffee shop! They roast they're own coffee on the premises. Amazing service and just great vibes.

Coffee shop in a rustic setting with a punk-rock vibe to it. Their coffee is amazing. Some of the best coffee that I have had. They also have a wide variety of coffee options They don't have a lot of food, however they have a few pastry and bagel options. Their pastries are decent The space is ok, but is isn't the most warm coffee shop environment I have seen. Apparently they don't have many outlets either 8

My friend has been telling me about Perkatory for the last year and we finallllyyyyy made it here together the other day. I am absolutely in love with this place. The barista working was supeerrrr nice and helpful and everything inside is so cool and perfect for the season. I went with the pumpkin king and some sugar cookies and saved them for the next morning as a treat. I've so gotta make a monthly trip in for the featured flavors!

brew coffee more often . don't serve the bottom of the pot , that's what it tasted like . offer to heat up the food that is served

This place is a hidden vibe. Plenty of parking and went to get their roasted beans, which comes free a cup of coffee. They do pour over and drip. I got their shop blend drip and that was good coffee, probably one of the best in the area. I would love to go back for more.

Excellent place. Love the comfort inside and everyone is very friendly. Coffee is great. Just a great local spot to relax with a cup of Joe

Great place for coffee. Awesome couches to relax on if you want to stay and drink your coffee. Big parking lot . Friendly staff. Clean atmosphere.

I went here when I was in town very excited because I love the southington location. Well...I'll be sticking to southington. The parking is horrendous, the place was way too loud, the cashier was kind of rude, she didn't listen to my order either. She asked me twice what I wanted and still got it wrong. It wasn't like it was especially busy in there or anything. To top it off she spelled my name wrong despite it being on her screen because I entered my number for the rewards program. She had also asked me my name and like I said before...didn't listen. This wasnt even close to what I said my name was. If you want a good cup...go to the southington location.

Really cool place, great coffee drinks! Everything looked so good that I got a cold brew drink AND a hot drip coffee. I got maple syrup in my cold brew for some sweetness. It's so big inside too. They offer bagels and baked goods which are good but pretty basic ( I got a cheddar bagel and a chocolate muffin), the coffee is the stand out here. I've never even bought whole coffee beans but I was so impressed I bought a bag here because I saw so many people were, you get a free coffee with your purchase which is always nice. Great friendly service, the line gets long but the counter baristas work fast. I live an hour away but I'm already planning my return, there's just not enough good sized places like this and I appreciate the room to not be on top of everyone! The skateboard and coffee theme is also super cool.
