This has been my go-to coffee shop every weekend for the last couple of years. To put it simply,…read moretheir coffee is fantastic. Specifically, their cold brew which is extremely smooth and strong, and in my opinion you don't even need to put anything in it unless you really want something sweet, although why would you get a cold brew if that's the case lol. Also packs quite a bit of caffeine so you'll be good for the rest of the day. Their pastries are pretty solid as well, although a bit on the pricier side. The cafe itself is on the smaller side but still an ample amount of seating. It's excellent for meeting with a friend, however the tables are rather small so it is less study friendly unless you manage to snag one of the bigger tables by the entrance. Which is admittedly pretty tough to do unless you get here right when it opens or catch a lucky break when someone leaves - I speak from experience. That said, it's overall a pretty solid spot to get work done. Parking in downtown Summit is a pain in general, I usually just park in the lot and walk over. Limit is at 5 hours and you will have to walk back if you want to extend it. There might be parking available by the cafe, but I'm personally less confident on how long you can to stay before getting ticketed/booted, so do so at your own risk.

Tried this coffee spot twice. The first time, the staff wasn't very warm or helpful. When I asked…read morefor recommendations, I was just told to check the menu. I ordered the coconut coffee which was okay, just a bit too sweet for my taste. The second time around, I looked over the menu ahead of time and tried a matcha. It was decent, but again a little sweeter than I personally prefer.

Stumbled in here during one of the coldest days of the year, primarily just to warm up. Had no…read moreexpectations because, like I said, it was cold, they were the closest place to take shelter and I saw a coffee bar. Anyway, since then I've been back 3 more times; once for breakfast and twice for brunch. And while I'm confessing, the two times for lunch were on subsequent days. Yeah, they're that good. Actually, their chicken salad on a croissant is the best I've ever had and in my advanced years I've had a crapload of chicken salad. The have a nice sized coffee bar, decorated beautifully with some pretty delicious looking pastries. I'm on an anti-sweet phase so I'm basing my opinion on only on appearance. Then there's a seating area when you can eat, served by a friendly attentive staff and an adjacent boutique area where you can purchase housewares, clothing and other cool stuff. I'm not in Maplewood all that often, generally when I'm shopping at the equally awesome City Workshop but when I do, I always make sure to hit up Perch. You should too. 1/2 star deduction because they don't offer fake sugar, just that Stevia crap which is gross.

The wait staff very attentive and accommodating to your needs. I ordered the So Cal burger. It tasted so fresh and great ingredients. It is a Breaded chicken cutlet,sharp Wisconsin cheddar, avocado, pico de gallo, roasted tomato aioli, brioche bun. The bun was so soft like it just came out the oven and all ingredients paired so well together.The chicken had a crisp to the texture and moist not dry. I had the maple-Dijon salad as my side. To be dressing was so tasty with fresh lettuce. I fell in love with the freshly made pita chips and feta dip it was a shareable and menu special. I had a mocha frappe and the way it came out looked perfect! It was blended very well. Our waiter he also made it a pleasant experience. Very accommodating to however and whatever we needed. The ambiance is very updated and a relaxed vibe to it. It has a spacious area not on top of each other .They are very pleasant as soon as you're greeted in until your leaving out. I would highly recommend this restaurant! Note... I have gone before this for breakfast but I have no Pics. The breakfast was so good. Really fresh ingredients. I had breakfast Classic and lemon ricotta pancakes. Their homemade sausage and bacon is amazing!! I was 3 other people and they raved about their breakfast selections.

I finally made it there the other day and was shocked at how substantial the place was. It was no small bakery, but was a full cafe and gourmet shop as well. Though I did not try their savory sandwiches, breads, salads, or spreads at that time, I did purchase some of their sweets. First, the Chocolate Rugelach were some of the best I have had. The delicate, flaky cookies were like little croissants and were ribboned with a rich chocolate spread. Their version also had hints of vanilla, which I really enjoyed. I also got one of their large Chocolate Chip Cookies, which was thin, but packed with gooey bittersweet and semi-sweet chocolate. It also had a light sprinkling of Maldon sea salt on the top. It was super decadent! Liv Breads exceeded my expectations, and I look forward to revisiting to try many more of their items.

I wish they could offer their masala chai in iced format for the recent hot weather, but understand that it's more authentic this way. I'll definitely try it next time.

This is a hidden gem here in the small township of Springfield. It is so easy to miss (the sign…read moreisn't a large one, and easy to miss -- it's in the same plaza as Bangles hair salon and just a few doors down from Stewart Leonard's wine store). The name is a misnomer because this isn't just a coffee place - they serve a variety of delicious and daily-made, fresh dishes -- no fast food. I highly recommend the beef empanada - it's served piping hot and the the crust is rich, flaky and the perfect compliment to the tasty ground beef. I'm a big fan of ambience, and this place has it. Very trendy but cosy cafe vibe, well lit but not harsh lighting, and the seating faces a floor to ceiling window. Cheerful signs on the walls; it feels like a neighborhood hang out. The back portion of this eatery is down a hallway and so customers might think that it's just the front that offers seating -- they would be wrong. The back is roomy and there's plenty of room for large parties. I'm thinking of having my next ladies luncheon here. Did I also mention their prices are very affordable? I got two meat pieces and a large coffee for less than 7 dollars. The only recommendation I would make is to add some background music and to raise the temperature a little - it was a bit chilly. Oh - and make a larger street sign!
