Perkatory Coffee Roasters — Restaurant in Southington

Absolutely love this coffee spot! Their decaf espresso is a dream—smooth, rich, and perfectly balanced with just the right touch of bitterness, acidity, and sweetness. It’s so hard to find a place that doesn’t burn the espresso, and they nail it every time. Plus, they’re awesome about letting you get creative with your drinks. They even offer decaf cold brew and some tasty non-dairy cold foam options at times, along with various non-dairy milks.

The food is yummy too! Highly recommend the banana chocolate chip muffin and the bacon/egg empanada. My only minor gripe is that on Mondays they are often sold out from the weekend and their bakery isn't able to restock until later in the day.

The staff here are just the sweetest—they do more than just say hello, they really make it a point to connect on something personal, which always brightens my day. The cafe itself is super spacious and welcoming, with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. And hey, if you need to multitask, there’s a Laundromat right next door. Can’t recommend this...

The snacks are pedestrian but then again, one does not come here to eat. Coffee preferences are a matter of personal taste, of course, but the Perkatory brew failed to impress me. The coffee taste resembles Mexican Chiapas coffee which I am not personally fond of. The unit was clean, not crowded and service was OK. The thing that annoyed me like many other people (I suspect) is the custom of pestering customers for tips. When paying, before the charge can go through, you have to select how much you are willing to tip. This method of "tip shaming" is a little over the top and kind of annoying. At least they offer the option...

This place was awesome, and the location on Queen Street (Rt 10 I believe) is my favorite location so far. The decor looked really nice. There was ample space and comfortable seating as well as outdoor tables. I stopped by and ordered a small hot latte with oatmilk, local maple syrup, and a CBD boost shot- and it was delicious as always. I wanted to stop by and check it out to see if it would be a good place to bring my laptop to study (I like studying with a little background stimulation), and it was perfect. I will definitely be coming back. Friendly, fast, “local coffee...
