I used to pass this little coffee stand all of the time, but my route has changed, so I no longer travel by it.
I was told by the barista working there that Caffe Perfetto has been well established in this area for eighteen years, so they must be doing something right!
I decided to keep with tradition and order my usual, which is the Americano. I was happy I could get it in an 8 oz size instead of having to buy the 12 oz; I had already had two cups of coffee, I wasn't sure putting more caffeine in me would be the smartest thing on an empty stomach.
One of the first things I noticed was that the Americanos were relatively inexpensive, and Caffe Perfetto offered various sizes and various drinks. I can't confirm if they provided any snack foods; looking on their menu, I saw nothing provided, but that doesn't mean they didn't have something; I didn't notice anything offhand.
When I received my Americano, the aroma was very bold smelling; thinking to myself that it would taste as strong as it smelled, I was amazed it did not. There was a hint of creamy background with a fruity undertone and not too much of an acidic after-taste. Overall, it was a good Americano, but still, in my opinion, didn't meet that over-all wow factor that Island Smoothie and Austin Chase Coffee have.
I was a little disheartened to read that Caffe Perfetto goes through Dawson Taylor Coffee Roasters located in Boise, Idaho, not Washington State. It is always great to know when a company keeps it local and or stays within Washington State, at least Caffe Perfetto hires locally.
The barista was friendly enough, a little bit of chit-chat, which is fine; he wasn't rude. Everything around looked clean and tidy; as I stated earlier, Caffe Perfetto has been around for quite a while, so they are obviously doing something right! Anyone interested Caffe Perfettos location is 2811 Wheaton Way in Bremerton, WA. Just off Sheridan Road as well. They are neighbors with Taqueria Los Cazadores Mexican Restaurant, and across Wheaton Way is Saar's Super Saver Foods. Pickup or order for delivery through Grubhub!

Read moreWas not impressed. A few weeks ago I was looking for a coffee shop in the area that offered a burnt sugar or creme brulee latte and Caffe Perfetto was recommended to me. I waited in line for nearly 20-minutes though there was only one car in front of me. I told the barista I wanted a creme brulee latte, a couple of chai teas & just a plain coffee with cream . 1) They were out of chai tea that week. Who doesn't keep that in stock!? 2) She said she could make me a creme brulee no problem, but it was just a caramel latte with granulated sugar sprinkled on top. It tasted good but it wasn't really what I wanted. 3) She tricked me into changing the plain coffee into an Americano. I've never had one and didn't know what was in it. So I asked. The barista said it was basically a latte but with cream instead of milk. No mention that it was watered down. The person I ordered it for was not happy and said his coffee tasted like dirty dishwater. I took a sip and had to agree: it was completely revolting. The Barista was really nice and I think she did her best to try to give me what I wanted. But ultimately the experience was...
Read moreI looooove this shop. I was a barista in Seattle for a couple years and can be kinda picky lol. My go to splurge drink at most places besides black drip is an iced white chocolate americano. Some places do it pretty terribly, watered down too much, white chocolate not mixed in well, weak or bitter espresso flavor. Caffe Perfetto does it perfectly every single time! Today I asked about sugar free flavors and the sugar free white chocolate is just as incredible. I’m in love. I wish I could give ten stars. All the baristas are also so nice and amazing at what they do. Thanks for...
