The Perks of Life — Restaurant in Eagle

Today's coffee adventure brought me to Perks of Life Coffee. I was stuck at home for a bit waiting for the plumber to finish up. I had about 40 minutes to get there before 2. Thank goodness I was able to make it in 30 minutes before closing.

The venue is very nice. You walk in and you instantly see all the pretty light fixtures and decor. On top of all that, you also see all the yummy looking baked goods on display. I'm sure the cases were full of goods this morning so by the time I got there it was slim pickings. Mind you, even the slim pickings looked delicious!

I was greeted by the barista after she finished helping another guest. She was very nice. She grabbed my order, took my name and got my drink started. I got my usual drink, an iced americano with sugar free vanilla and room for cream. While my drink a being made, I made my way through all their merch. It was fun looking at all the mugs, variety of stickers, wall art and to what looked like wrapped book gift bundles with all sorts of goodies packaged in with it.

The barista called out a name but I stood there kinda confused. The gal before me got her drink so I was the only one left who needed a drink. She looked at me giving me the hint it was mine. I repeated my name which was not the name she called out. I found it humorous that she couldn't read her own handwriting. I made sure again it was mine and made my way to the nicely stocked condiment bar. Topped my drink off with some half and half and made my way to a table.

I like my coffee a hair sweeter so I add a little blue packet of sugar from my bag. It usually gives it just that little extra kick. Well, I didn't need it today. I wasn't expecting how sweet it was. I almost questioned whether or not it was sugar free syrup that was used. I also did ask for room so I can add some cream but unfortunately I had to dump out some coffee to make room. That little bit of extra water does dilute the espresso. It sucks having to dump product out that you paid for when it could have been properly made if the barista had paid attention. I did hang out for a bit and enjoyed my drink after it was modified.

The venue is really chill. I appreciate all the fun merch, the creative wall art and baked goods. I can see myself coming back for a girls coffee meet up or for some alone time out on their outside seating area. Hopefully next time my drink will be on point and I'll be able to enjoy my drink that much more while trying out one of their...

This place is the Best Coffee/Pastry shop I have ever been to. Full stop!

They boast a full selection of real coffee drinks made quickly and to perfection. The Scones are incredible.. Made fresh everyday. My favorites are Blueberry.. Cinnamon Peach.. (tastes just like a big fat Cinnamon PopTart) and the Pumpkin to name a few. Several iced muffins and cookies.. They also make a chocolate chip pumpkin cookie that I watched a woman almost shed tears of joy as she bit into it. I stopped, walked back in and Immediately bought one. Magnificent!! The Bluberry coffee cake is also the best I ever tasted. BTW.. People often order whole sheets to take home. Also get this.. One of the most impressive things about this place is they have a complete assortment of Gluten free tasty Pastry that is ferociously delicious!! Ha. What the heck? Two questions; How can they taste so good? Why do all other gluten free stuff taste so bad? My family (Two teenage boys and Mama) crush the breakfast burritos.. Bacon sausage or green pepper. They are served hot or cold to take home and come with a homade salsa that is to die for. Ironically, what they perhaps are actually best known for is thier stupendous quiche. Not my cup of tea but they are huge and fly off the shelves all day long so I assume they rock. You will also find in a small fridge in front of restaurant a with limited canned sodas and cold drinks. Bathrooms are super clean and pass the mom wife sister test. There is plenty of seating for an alone escape spot or meeting friends talk and hang. Both separate indoor and outdoor seating is available. The parking can be a little tricky but it works. Handicap parking is close to door. Grass near by to walk dogs and outdoor section that is super pet friendly with treats waiting inside for your puppy. This entire experience is provided by a very talented woman and her family and friends. They all work together to make, prepare, clean and serve us all day long with love and affection. They are wonderful people. I LOVE this place. You will also. Be well....

The Perks of Life Coffee House in Eagle, Idaho is a delightful little spot that makes mornings feel special. From the moment you step in you notice a warm, cozy vibe—comfy seating, friendly baristas, and an easygoing neighborhood energy that makes it a great place to start the day.

Highlight: the bacon and spinach quiche. The crust is buttery and flaky, the custard silky and well-seasoned, with smoky bacon and tender spinach balanced perfectly so every bite tastes homey and a little indulgent. It’s the kind of savory breakfast that feels both satisfying and thoughtfully prepared.

On the sweeter side, the raspberry lemon scone is a must-try. Bright, tangy raspberry and a hint of lemon cut through the richness of the scone, which is moist and slightly crumbly with a pleasantly glazed top. Pairing it with a large hot chocolate turns breakfast into a treat—the hot chocolate is rich, creamy, and comforting, a perfect foil for the tartness of the scone.

Service is upbeat and welcoming, and the shop’s atmosphere makes it easy to linger—whether you’re catching up with a friend, reading, or getting a little work done. If you’re in Eagle and want a reliably delicious breakfast with great coffeehouse charm, The Perks of Life is well...
