Actually finishing up lunch just a couple of doors down at Sinbad, we wanted to maybe get a dessert and some caffeine to chase our lunch. After a quick yelp search we saw Perks Coffee was literally a few steps away and we went inside!
Right off the bat, Perks is very inviting with a nice warm interior and a tasty looking display of goodies to choose from. After a bit of deciding, we ordered the following:
Daily perk coffee x 2 ($2.49 x 2)
Chocolate coconut macaroon ($2.99)
Starting with the perk coffee, it's a great deal because refills are free, and if you're a fan of Caribou coffee, this is what you're getting. It's brewed every half hour to keep it nice and fresh. Again, free refills!
The macaroon both looked and sounded delicious! The chocolate was on one half of the treat, leaving one coconut side open for you to enjoy without chocolate. Here's the thing, the macaroon was pretty hard and didn't taste like coconut at all.
There's a fair amount of seating here, and several wall outlets for electronic device users who need to plug in, and staff was also friendly.
Parking is no issue at all, as Perks is in a strip with shared parking, although finding a spot right in front of the store may be tough.
At the end of the day, we didn't have a bad time at Perks Coffee. Nice interior with free coffee refills. The dessert that we tried needed a large amount of work though, and since that's really the only thing we bought, that's really all I have to base my score off of.
If and when I find myself back in town, I may give these guys another shot to up my score, but for now it was just an okay experience to me.
