Came in right after opening and it was only us and the two workers who took our order and made everything. Loved the cottagecore vibes. Couldn't believe how large a menu such a small place had. Plus that weekly specials board. Everything we had was excellent and we absolutely be coming back.

When you walk in, it's really a nice break from reality with all of the whimsical, antique, speakeasy feel. You can sip on tea and coffee and walk around the shop. Nice size biscotti went well with their tea. I had the blueberry muffin also. My friend and I had two cups of tea that were great! Staff is super nice and we could have spent more than 2 hrs in there just relaxing and catching up. I look forward to going back there. It's a nice intimate space to sit alone or a couple of friends.

Tea shop during the day and an underground speakeasy by night…read more A group of friends and I came here for the first time and we were very impressed with a short wait time, and the very cool ambience and set up of the different areas to sit at Our server told us they specialized in mythological crafted cocktails, which came with an added ritual. I got Aset, the Egyptian goddess of healing, magic, funereal rites, and motherhood. ASET (EGYPTIAN) color-changing twist on a corpse reviver butterfly pea flower infused prairie gin, luxardo triple sec, elderflower liqueur, lemon, glitter MICTLANTECUTLI (AZTEC) blood orange margarita, rocks blood orange tequila, blood orange liqueur, lime, orange bitters, smoked salt We also Mediterranean: Hummus, Olives Herb, Chips Everything was very good and I would definitely come back during the day to check out their tea shop

Swung past to start an early day and overall had a good time. We ordered the following:…read more Samoa latte: 8/10 nice concept and pretty good. A little too sweet for her liking but more so personal preference. Strawberry banana smoothie: 7/10 pretty good, no complaints. Spinach and feta croissant: 5/10 edible but very lack laster. Customer service wasn't bad. Drinks were made fast. They forgot to put my croissant in the oven so had to wait extra time. Plenty of seating. Decent decor. I like that the special/seasonals were by the front. Also that they had the workers favorite items.

I like my coffee sweet, so the self-service bar was perfect for customizing. Somewhere they say this is the #1 coffee in the state... I'm not so sure.

All about the vibes in here, the place is filled with CT memorabilia and Naugatuck HS year books…read morewhich was super cool to see esp since I have many friends that went there. The interior is modern rustic with a twist of bohemian indie style. There are so many things to look at and be entertained by. The seating options are great and comfy. The service was quick, sweet, spunky, and helpful. I got a frozen matcha with the suggested cheesecake blackberry flavor via the barista and it didn't disappoint. I haven't tried any of their readily available pastries in their display case but I know I will one day. My matcha was around nine dollars, which is what I'd expect from a privately locally owned place like this. Worth it though, esp if you're hanging out for awhile and like great quality. I can see myself coming back one morning and hanging out with someone here. Also, HUGE fan of punk rock so blink 182 in the background is making me stay here until I have to go to my eye doctor appointment around the corner. I feel totally in my element. I'll be back, thanks loaded goat !

I stopped in for a cortado, three shots of espresso with oat milk, no sugar, and it was perfectly balanced and delicious. The service was excellent from start to finish. They greeted me right away, spelled my name correctly, which is rare, and even called it out properly when my drink was ready. The café itself is inside a warm, inviting building with seating in the shop and throughout the hallways. With the walking path nearby and the dog friendly environment, it is the perfect spot to stop during a morning stroll, before a night out, or while exploring the area. Between the quality coffee, attentive service, and dog friendly atmosphere, Perkatory is a spot I will definitely be returning to.

The cortado I ordered was perfectly crafted with good flavor, and the service was extremely friendly and personable.

We were told about the patio out back, which, OMG, it sits on the River, completely private with such a nice sized space. I chose dark roast beans and coffee to drink and also brought home a classic mug. It remained busy because it's such a great coffee bean!!! And there was a mix of guests who stayed and sat on their computer, visited with friends, and enjoyed this delightful spot. A MUST TRY FOR COFFEE LOVERS! you will love it!
