You go here for the theming. Simply put. And it definitely makes you feel like you're in the Friends universe. The design is amazing and there's so many props and costumes scattered all around the place. Basically a Friends fan nirvana. Just wish the food could've matched the endeavour. Drinks were solid coffee shop fare, similar to any generic coffee shop. The pizza and sandwiches however were meh and way too overpriced for what you get. Ordered the Joey special and felt wanting more. Not helping was that one pizza was undercooked with rubbery dough for half of it. Cuban sandwich was nothing to speak of. Staff was quick and nice despite the mass influx of tourists so no complaints there. Was Abit hard finding seats with it so packed. Kinda wish they'd have a fuller menu for lunch rather than a limited selection. Would've liked to visit the commissary but alas have fork over a lot to get that access.
The cafe is part of the Warner bros studio tour and definitely the highlight if you're a fan of Friends. There are special drinks named after each character. Once you order your coffee/food, you can choose to hang out in the coffee shop or eat in Monica's kitchen. After eating, you can relax on the armchairs or play some foosball! Once you're rested, you can continue with the tour to see other well known sets from your favorite tv shows
Such a cool and fun experience! Central Perk is not just your typical coffee shop. They have the usual coffee, tea, and hot cocoa as well as a bunch of themed drinks named after the Friends cast. I got the Chandler (which was like a caramel macchiato with hazelnut instead of vanilla) and it was so good. They have a nice variety of sandwiches and salads in the cold case as well as hot items you can buy as well (pizza and hot sandwiches) I got a turkey sandwich which was good and my son got the grilled chicken pesto which he really liked. The staff was great and we got our food and drinks really quickly. Loved that the seating and surrounding areas are just like being on the set of Friends. Plus they have a store with lots of fun souvenirs (mugs, shirts, and even frames based after the iconic framed dorr peep hole). You can only access if you take one of the Warner Bros tours. We had the deluxe tour which included lunch at Central Perk (which included any main in the menu, a side/including bakery item, and a drink/ any drink, any size). We felt it was a great deal and the food, drinks, and bakery items were all very tasty. Such a fun, different way to spend a Saturday afternoon!
Part of the Warner Bros. Studio Tour is a stop at a recreation of the Central Perk coffeehouse from "Friends". This place is an actual working cafe with coffee drinks and an assortment of food items. I was attending a TV taping and was able to stop here afterwards for a drink. I didn't watch "Friends" back in its heyday, but have seen enough episodes to know what the Central Perk is and what it looked like on the show. I have also stood in front of the actual Friends apartment on 90 Bedford Street in Greenwich Village. I wouldn't say that this is an exact duplicate of the Central Perk, but diehard fans will love it. They have tons of "Friends" merchandise like coffee mugs, t-shirts, aprons, etc. Drinks are a variety of hot and cold beverages. Food is pizza, sandwiches, salads and Friends-themed desserts and pastries. There are recreated sets of the cast's apartments that you can check out and get some photo ops. Central Perk at Warner Bros. is a fun little nod to the popular show that was mostly filmed on Stage 24 (renamed The Friends Stage after the series finale). I grabbed a coffee and pastry and enjoyed my brief visit here.
If you're a huge fan of Friends, definitely take the WB Studio tour, because you'll be able to see the Central Perk coffee shop in all its glory!! You can see (and sit at!) the famed orange couch that was always "Reserved" for the Friends, the bar where the fake coffee drinks are made, and the faux brick walls going up to show it is obviously a set. On the studio tour, you can also have a photo op by the Friends Fountain on the couch from the opening credits too, which is cool, if you don't get a chance to sit on the couch inside. When we went, you also could buy Central Perk coffee drinks at another spot on the tour, but I'm not sure if they still do that anymore. If you want to see Central Perk, check out the WB Studio Tour if you're a big fan of Friends!
Central Perk is a real coffee shop located on the Warner Brothers lot, with themes from the FRIENDS series. The menu is simple for those who are enjoying the tour, and there are plenty of tables and seating to enjoy your food and beverages. It was a treat for me to stop by this café as a FRIENDS fan, and it was good timing during our tour to get a beverage. My boyfriend had a large Iced Peach Cold Brew Tea ($7) and I indulged in a medium Iced Blended Mocha ($7). The drinks were well made and a nice treat to refuel us for the rest of the tour. It's nice that their pricing is reasonable considering you're at an attraction. However the staff can do a better job cleaning the tables in between guests. A lot of the tables were sticky or had crumbs from prior patrons. Food is not allowed in the exhibit or onto the ride onto the next part of the tour, so be sure to order what you can finish.
I did the Warner Brothers tour today, which was pretty fun. I almost did not go to the Central Perk Café because of somebody's review on Yelp. Boy, am I glad that I did! Not only was the coffee good but you can sit on so many of the different Friends' scenes --from their apartments to the actual lookalike Central Perk cafe. They have Phoebe's outfit and guitar, the boys lounge chairs and various other cute things from the show. I also ate a Chia seed pudding, and it was tasty. The waitstaff were incredibly friendly too!
Central Perk Cafe is located inside Warner Bros Studio and the only way to get in is to book the Warner Bros Studio Tour. After your first part of the tour is complete, you will get dropped off outside Central Perk Cafe. You can hang out in the cafe, eat, drink, and shop for as long as you like before getting on another tram to finish the tour. I'm not a Friends fan and I've never watched a full episode of it but I had a couple of friends back in Hawaii who were fans and I wanted to get them stuff from the shop. I snapped a bunch of pictures of things and asked what they wanted while I stood in line to order something to drink. The staff said hot food would take 30 minutes so I stuck to ordering stuff with less wait/prep time. I ordered The Joey (iced tea) and Rachel's Trifle. I really like the iced tea, it was refreshing. The trifle had too much whip cream but other than that, I did like the fresh fruits in it. The food and drinks are pricey but it was worth it for the experience.
I was like a giddy school girl arriving at the Central Perk cafe (being a FRIENDS fan) at the WB studios Tour. The cafe is a recreation and has many friends character inspired beverages and Friends Boutique merchandise for sale. There's not much seating outside the cafe (a few small tables with high chairs) but if you go into the next room, there are more seating including recreated sets of Central Perk, Joey & Chandler's apartment, Monica's apartment, and Greenwich Village themed set. I ordered Rachel's Fruit Trifle for $10 plus tax and it was just not good. The whole thing was just whipped cream, not enough fruit nor no layers of cake. I ate mostly the fruit and avoided the whipped cream. For the price of the foods offered here, I expect better quality. Cute themed cafe anyhow, unique merchandise, lots of photo opportunities as well.
I loved everything about this place and I might be biased because I am a big Friends fan! With that said, it truly did not disappoint. I love that they really replicate the sets to make you feel like you were in the show. The best part was the menu. I love that each drink is a character's name. Of course I had to get the Chandler in honor of Matthew Perry and who also was my fav character! I am a coffee person so I was glad they were able to customize my drink to make it less sweet since the drink was a caramel hazelnut latte. I also got the Cuban sandwich. It was soo good I forgot to take a picture haha. They have plenty of seating towards the merch store to enjoy your treats! Overall, definitely stop by this cafe for a quick bite or drink during your tour. Just a heads up that you have to finish your food/drink before you head to your shuttle to the last exhibit so keep that in mind!
Cute cafe, we didn't try the food but decent selection priced high like any other cafe. They do have a lot of seating options, plenty of friends memorabilia and replicas. Plenty of good spots for pictures. They have a lot of friends merchandise too. Drinks were as good as you'd expect it to be. Plenty of staff behind the counter trying to get everyones order. We waited maybe 5-10 minutes for 2 drinks which was understandable. After the cafe, you ride the tram again and they drop you off for the rest of the tour which had the DC and Harry Potter movie stuff. Maybe another 1 more hour in that area then you are all done.
What I expected. Service was good and really fast. Ambiance was the same Friends vibe as the rest of the place. Food Turkey melt was good, it is on the smaller side though, the size of regular slice of a loaf of bread and looks to be just normal bread as well. Good but not as worth $13 since it is basically what I would make in my house pretty easily. Cold brew vanilla bean latte was okay, maybe just not what I was expecting. There was not a lot of cream in it, the bottom was completely dark so I couldn't finish it. Cup har logo on it though. Most options were for hot coffee. This one was the only iced one with cream except frozen blended drinks (like frappuccinos).
The drink (the Phoebe) was very good but they do not have small sizes. Also ordered the cubano sandwich which was decent for a themed cafe. Such a cute fan experience for friends fans but you're not allowed to bring drinks into the exhibit nearby or on the transportation to move onto the next exhibit so it's best if you order and finish everything right when you first get here. You can also eat inside the gift shop which has even more friends decor and merch. Accessibility/inclusion: the bathroom has free period supplies ! There are both high tops and booths and it didn't seem like the line gets very long as the crowds come in waves based on the tours that get dropped off.
This is a nice Friends-themed cafe which is a pit stop made during the Warner Brothers Studio Tour, before viewing one of the exhibits. It's definitely a tourist trap, but if you're a Friends fiend, this is the place for you. There's plenty of photo-ops - Joey and Chandler's apartment with the foosball table and BarcaLoungers, the Central Perk bar and couches, and Monica's kitchen. There's also a gift shop which had surprisingly reasonably priced items. The cafe itself has grab-and-go items as well as hot food items like pizza for sale. They have drinks named after the characters, but everything is pricey (tourist trap alert). I'm not a coffee drinker, but I had to partake in the "Central Perk" rite of passage, so I ordered the chocolate ice-blend drink (~$8 after tax), which is a pretty steep price for a drink that's essentially chocolate milk. For some reason, my order got lost in their system, so I was waiting and waiting for my name to be called. After approaching the counter and asking, they made it right away. They don't serve the drinks in the signature large coffee cups (but the cups are available at the gift shop), so I'd say you can skip the overpriced coffee and go straight for the photo ops (which are free/included in the price of admission). read more
This place in the Warner bros studio tour was super cute. I love how it was decorated as a replica of the friend's cafe and apartments from the show. I enjoyed the themed coffee I had a Chandler hot, and we split a chocolate cupcake and a Cuban sandwich both tasted great. I could have brought so many things in the cafe and store. The line was long but moved fast and the food and drinks didn't take long. Definitely worth a try. read more
Staff is friendly but everything is so overpriced. Not budget friendly at all. They do have a variety of items including beverages named after the iconic Friends. They do have tables in 2 areas, one in the cafe and one in a living room area. read more

The Central Perk Cafe At the end of our studio tour we were dropped off at Stage 48 to continue the rest of the experience in a self-guided tour, dining and shopping. As soon as we entered the building there it was a working replica of the Central Perk Café from F*R*I*E*N*D*S... we made our way to the attractions and sets first before we ended up here. The menu offered your all-American classics including the "Joey Special" (two 8" pizzas of your choice). Options were salad, pizza, hotdog, and 3 types of sandwiches. We didn't work up enough appetite to want to purchase food but we did share half a "Joey Special" and got an 8" pepperoni pizza. It was pretty good! I didn't see it on the menu but they also have Rachel's trifle (without the meat). We were able to find a table in the main cafe which was very limited seating but there are additional seating in the next room where they recreated the sets including Central Perk, Joey & Chandler's apartment and Monica's apartment (living room and kitchen). Right in the same area is the Friends Boutique -- ready, set, go... shopping! Fun atmosphere to dine! Review #2491 read more

My experience with the friends set at WB studios was just over the top, top notch. I had to try something from Central Perk. I got the cherry Danish, chicken salad sandwich and turkey sandwich while I was here. I must say this was definitely nostalgia for me. read more

My fiancé and I had to give this place a try since we were here already hehe So we ended up getting a Red Velvet cupcake, iced coffee, The Chandler, and Rachel's Fruit Trifle. We definitely had some trouble putting in our order since the guy helping us out kept trying to close out our order when we still had items to order. I liked how they recreated the cafe, but also had recreated the bar area of the cafe, Park area with the iconic fountain, Rachel and Monica's apartment, and Chandler and Joey's apartment as areas to eat and enjoy the cafe items we bought. The gift store with all Friends items was right next to these dining areas. Definitely a nice place to relax after the first part of the tour and to be able to take pictures within all these recreated scenes. read more

If you're a huge Friends fan like I am, then this place is amazing. Their food isn't necessarily out of this world as it is a cafe, but it's all Friends themed - you can get an order of any of the Friends (Joey, Ross, Phoebe, etc.), and you have a huge area to sit down and dine. There's a lot of variety/diversity in where to dine - they recreated both apartments as well as part of the actual Central Perk cafe (with the sofa), and blended it all together. It's just a one-of-a-kind experience and you have to go to truly immerse yourself in the universe. read more
I am not big on friends but even I can appreciate the accuracy, and the clever themes and names to each drink. I had the Canoli and some overpriced water. The water was good, but the vanilla canola almost had a melted marshmallow texture rather than a cream read more
Fans of the hit television show Friends, this is the anticipated moment! After you finish Part 1 with your Tour Guide, he/she will drop you off here (Part 2) at Central Perk/Friends Themed Gift Shop. From here on out, it's pretty much a self-guided tour with tons of photos to take and of course, shopping and buying for all things Friends to your heart's content, lol! Upon entrance, there's Three Sections: Left Side: Friends Central Perk photo-op - you can take the photo(s) with your camera and there will also be a professional photographer on-hand. In addition, there's various movie costumes as well as the Big Bang Theory Set photo-op too. You'll also find the Harry Potter Flying photo-ops (if you ended up purchasing the additional $39 Photo Bundle premium add-on). Middle: You'll immediately see Central Perk Cafeteria/Coffee Shop right in front. You can only eat and drink in this section. I got the $5.85 The Chandler (Large 24oz with Soy Milk $0.95 extra charge) and $4.95 Central Perk Cupcake (Chocolate with Mocha Frosting). Both were delicious, sweet treats to help revive and nourish my soul before moving with the rest of the tour. There's also other food and drinks available there too (see pics). Restrooms are located here - cleaned, nicely maintained and stocked. Right Side: Friends Themed Apartment and Gift Shop - tons of photos to take in there as well as shopping, lol! It's so cool seeing the Friends Themed Apartment in real-time. Later on, when you're watching the episodes, you can be able to say "I was there and have the pictures to prove it, hehe! This is a wonderful stop along the Warner Bros. Studio Tour before heading over to Parts 3 and 4 - DC Marvel/Fantastic Beasts/Harry Potter (Part 3) and then the Oscar Celebration Room/Gift Shop (Part 4) before your tour ends. Awesome Friends addition, yay, awesome job, Warner Bros. Studio Tour! read more

A must see and experience for any Friends fan. Nostalgic set up that'll make any person who is somehow familiar with the tv show feel part of the sitcom. 1). Food. They served mostly cafe food items and Friends themed merchandise. The food items are very good but a little bit over priced, as expected for these type of set up. We still dined here and had the cupcakes and some drinks. 2). Atmosphere. This is the real reason why people go here is to experience being part of the show. Very nicely done and you DO will feel part of Friends. I am not a big fan but very much appreciated the entire set up. The place is large but can get overcrowded as this is the highlight for most fans. Lots of ample photo opportunities. TIP: 1st of 2 gift shops. This is a more specialized Friends gift shop and some items here will not be available at the second gift store. If you see something here, grab it right away. You may not see it later. 3). Others. Can get crowded. The staff is helpful and friendly. Walked around the museums for other non-Friends stuff and you can take as long and as short as the WB tour experience. Very good stop of the WB tour. Ended up staying longer than expected. Sorry, no "Smelly Cat" performance. read more

While on the standard WB studio tour you make a stop at the central perk in the middle. This is a friends themed area where you can order some food and drinks. I ordered the pastrami melt and the Rachel (which is a matcha latte). The have other drinks that they base off the other characters from friends, as an example the Phoebe is a cookies and cream frap. They also have other baked goods like cupcakes. After you order your food and drinks there are plenty of places to sit in the next room. The place is designed as the other more notable sets from the show like the cafe or Monica's apartment. But the area also doubles as a shop so you can browse while you drink. read more
This place is right in the middle of the Warner Brothers Studio tour and is an adorable place for a break. They have themed drinks (I got "The Chandler") which was a decent size for the price, all coffee shops considered. They have plenty of themed seating continuing into the gift shop before heading back to the tour. read more
This is a surprisingly great Cafe towards the end of a studio tour. My family and I went on the WB Tours and this is one of the last stops, the Central Perk from the Friends TV sitcom. We ordered 4 drinks and 2 desserts and have to say all four of us were pleasantly surprised with how good the drinks and food was. We had the Vanilla Chai, the Matcha tea (the Rachel), and (the Phoebe) a cookies and cream frappuccino, and a vanilla milkshake, which were all great. We also had the raspberry cupcake and the NY cheesecake which had great flavor. Three Cafe was a great ending to a great tour. read more

This is the final stop on the Warner Brothers Studio Tour and takes you "inside" the famous Central Perk. There are two parts of the cafe: 1) The actual cafe which features the famous storefront and a working coffee shop where you can pick up a coffee, cookie, etc., and 2) the makeshift set of Friends where you can take a picture on the famous couch. Pros: 1) The cafe part was surprisingly good for essentially being a gift shop coffee shop. The coffee and pastries were about Starbucks price, while other novelty items like their cookies shaped like the couch and frame were way more expensive. 2) The "inside" of Central Perk lets you take a picture from the interior of Central Perk and even record a little show where you play the characters. Cons: 1) Somewhat kitschy read more

'So no one told you life was gonna be this way, (clap, clap, clap clap), your job's a joke, you're broke, love life's DOAaaaaa. It's like you're always stuck in second gearrrr, when it hasn't been your day, your month or even your year. I'll Be There For You.....when the rain starts to pour....' (90s Hit song aka Friends' Theme Song, 'I'll Be There For You' by the band, The Rembrandts). K I wish 'Central Perk' in Burbank would open to the public without booking a studio tour, but the only way getting in is booking a tour unless Warner Brother's Studio finds a way to open this make belief cafe open at all times. In that case, I'd definitely go on the weekends to buy me a Chandler. Since this is a tourist attraction in Burbank, CA. of course higher prices are expected. Yesterday on 01/04/2020, I bought me my first 'The Chandler' drink, regular sized was around $4.65-ish. I get it because I was being a local tourist, hence that's a way of 'sploring this Friends' TV Show based cafe. They carry a variety of coffee drinks as well as espresso. As for food items, since my friend & I already had lunch at Lorelei's house, we didn't get to dine in here. They also carry sandwiches and pizza: I've attached menu photos, so please consult there for food options. The only negative thing but still doesn't deserve a star off (I'm biased because I'm a die hard Friends' TV Show fan) was that yesterday there were a few toilets clogged up from the Ladies' Side. Even so, There were still plenty of toilets to get to without a line!!!! read more

This isn't the exact replica that you get to take a picture but it is pretty cool! It's basically an actual functioning Central Perk. Complete with thematic seating, food offerings, souvenirs, and COFFEE. I got a cookie and a frappe drink there and it felt really awesome! I wish they made souvenir cups though! They only had mugs and those are hard to bring back by plane. Don't miss your chance to eat and drink here if you're doing the Warner Brothers tour, you only get to come here once you finish the tour. I don't think it's open to the general public. read more

Ask the Community - Central Perk
Can you eat lunch there? Or just drinks and treats?
Like Starbucks, they sell grab and go cold sandwiches and snacks. And all kinds of drinks... We even had a seasonal pumpkin cold brew latte and it was even more pumpkin-y java than the chain store.
Is this place open to the public or only open to those who go on the tour?
It's only open to those on the tour.
