Ultimate Perk Coffee Shop — Restaurant in Andover

After working 9 hours on my feet without as much as a 15 min.break, the owner told me how he really liked me & felt bad but another employee named Rudy was constantly comaining about diff.co-workers. I was one of them. I was already well-aware she had an attitude problem. I was deff.over qualified for the position. I have a degree & have worked for MIT as well as @ Mass General. I had been sick with Lupus and took the job to get back working. It was local, so convenient. The owner Rich told me this Rudy made the sandwiches @ lunchtime. He said she told him if he didn't get rid of me, she was leaving. I think it's highly unprofessional to run a business, allowing a trouble making employee make the decisions of who should work there. Obviously more going on with those 2, than employee & employee! Got a much higher paying job anyway, and would never step foot in that place again. Slave labor! No lunch breaks, no breaks at all! 9 hrs. on your feet for very little pay. Not recommended! You don't treat your employees that way. Actually, I believe it's illegal to make people work full-time without a break or lunch hour! Worst place I've ever worked. As a matter of fact this Rudy bragged how she partied all weekend @ biker week, getting 3 hrs sleep. She's preparing the food!!!! Eat at your own risk!! Not the...

I wanted coffee this morning but from a local place, not a chain, so I was kind of in the area, googled for a breakfast place and found this joint, had to go out of my way a little bit but I felt it was worth the risk. Right away I loved the curb appeal, very clean, modern european feel, couple of tables outside during a mildly chill morning. People reading books, some talking catching up. Getting inside I had the same feel of cleanliness, everything thing so neatly put, counter and menu, very easy to read from. Unfortunately I had the embarrassing surprise when it was time to pay, they only accept cash... I didn’t had any, only credit card and apple pay. The lady was prompt to relieve me saying “you can come back later to pay” Well I wasn’t so sure about how I felt because I was only in the are by happenstance... Fortunately the person I was with had some cash at hand so, she paid for it. The point is, the staff is friendly and it seems very much ready for situations like this. I recommend trying this place and don’t...

I love being able to support local small businesses and Ultimate Perk makes it so easy to do so! Although there is a Dunkin Donuts across the street and a Starbucks a few blocks down, I prefer Ultimate Perk.

The coffee here is delicious. They offer hot, iced, New Orleans & Kyoto cold brews, espresso, tea, and hot chocolate. Muffins, doughnuts, and breakfast and lunch options are also available, however, I have never eaten them because I have a gluten sensitivity. I HAVE had a few of the fresh bananas and GoMacro nutrition bars they offer.

There are a few tables for sitting and enjoying your food and drink inside, and in the warmer months, there are tables outside as well. They have just refreshed the paint and decor adding cotton wall hangings with book quotes and industrial lighting.

I frequent Ultimate Perk most in the afternoon. The afternoon staff is attentive, accommodating, and very friendly. This shop is a great contribution to the Andover...
