Perk Coffee — Restaurant in New York

A Perfectly Adequate Coffee Stop: Perk Cafe ​Stepping into Perk Cafe provides a perfectly coffee experience. It’s a clean, functional establishment that serves its primary purpose without fanfare, making it a reliable but unexciting spot for a quick caffeine fix. ​The coffee is regular. I ordered a drip coffee and found it to be completely average—not bad, but certainly not memorable. The flavor was what you'd expect from any run-of-the-mill coffee shop, lacking any distinctive notes or high-quality characteristics that would make you rush back for a second cup. It's perfectly drinkable, but it won't excite a coffee enthusiast. ​The primary drawback for me was the paucity of food options. There were no cookies, pastries, which is a significant miss for a place where many patrons might want a small treat alongside their beverage. If you're looking for an afternoon pick-me-up or a light breakfast, you'll need to look elsewhere. ​Overall, Perk Cafe is a very neutral experience. The service was prompt, the atmosphere was generic but comfortable, and the coffee got the job done. It's a place you stop at when you need coffee now, not when you're seeking a unique, high-quality, or memorable cafe visit. ​Rating: 4/5 Stars ​Pros: Clean, functional, reliable coffee. Cons: Very limited food/snack options, unremarkable...

I started visiting this place on 2nd ave and 96th st, around summer 2021 and had a perfect first experience with a very nice guy giving me my coffee, since then I visited several times and stayed there for work, bought several things like pastries, coffee, coke etc and always left a tip as I sat there for hours here and there and liked the atmosphere and want to support small business (plus Starbucks customer service is horrific, and places are dirty), but today I walked in and said Hi and the guy behind the counter looked like he was upset with me, he barely answered questions, he made a face at everything I said or ordered, it was just so nasty to even look at him, he made me feel just yucky and awful to even sit and be at the place and made me feel like I'll never return and instead of starting to work, made me want to write this review. He was dismissive, totally upset, no pleasant, not helpful, not nice, not smiling, just overall I wanted to run away from the place, too bad, because I really think I'll never go back and this corner and area really can use a little nice coffee...

Never go here! Just spent money on Uber to visit as a tourist and arrived to firstly what just looked like an overly commercialised shop with loads of tourist paraphernalia and very little relaxed friends cafe vibe. This though from the outside. On arriving I walk in the door with my husband and a security guard rudely asked what I’m here for. I said for a coffee at friends cafe. He said closed to the public. I said ok why? He said closed to the public. I said ok when will it open. He said closed to the public. I said ok till when? He said closed to the public. I didn’t get in the door and have never been spoken to so condescendingly and rudely. This is middle of the day Friday. So they don’t care about visitors and on top of that it really just looked like a room full of merchandise so I wouldn’t bother. If you want a relaxing coffee somewhere just go to a...
