Their coffee is good, but we've been twice and each time they are either out of something or something is broken (i.e. no steam for milk so no hot drinks with milk), which could just be our own bad timing. TRY THIS LITTLE SNEAKY BREAKFAST SANDWICH! We unexpectedly ordered the loaded hashbrown with sausage sandwich (because they were sold out of most other things) and we had to come back to get it again because it is so perfectly delicious. It's a mix of hashbrowns/potatoes, eggs and cheese with a sausage in the middle. Seriously, so. good.

The espresso here is fantastic, seriously well made. My wife got the blueberry maple latte and loved it (fruit in my coffee isn't really my thing, but she couldn't stop raving about it). We also split a bagel sandwich, and wow, it did not disappoint. Fresh ingredients, perfectly toasted, just really delicious. Oh... and they freeze their drip coffee into ice cubes and then use them for your iced coffee.. wow. On top of all that, the service was great, warm and friendly without being intrusive. This place has such a pleasant vibe. Highly recommend if you're looking for a great cup of coffee and a comfortable spot to settle in for a while!

However, delicious taste! Did not taste watered down. Cashier let us know they were out of to go boxes for the food. Very transparent! We ended up having her wrap it up in aluminum which was fine.

The owners are thoughtful, hard working and know their craft and their customer well. The line is always worth the wait -- grab a spot on one of the cozy couches or sit in the sun outdoors (pup approved!) while you wait for your beverage or one of the delicious breakfast items. One of my favorite memories from visiting Perq for many years: I once grabbed a few coffees and pastries to bring to a friend. I accident left a muffin behind. The owner took the time to track me down and send a message over social media letting me know they think I left it behind and they'd hold it for me or I could have a credit towards a future visit. Unreal. If you have visited Perq before you know there was likely a line yet the owners took note of this and took the time to go above and beyond. I'm grateful for this slice of neighborhood caffeine heaven. Congrats on 13 years

After seeing great reviews online, I was so excited to try Perq. I was in Sarasota for the day and…read moremy usual breakfast spot is closed on Mondays. I placed on order online for food ahead of time. I was also going to place an order for coffee online, but their menu and online ordering system is confusing. When I pulled up, I realized parking was going to be an issue. Your only option is street parking in a very busy part of town. They have plenty of spots in the back, but they are reserved for employees only. All but one of the employee spots were available. After circling the block a few times, I was able to park a block away on the street. When I walked in, I mentioned I was picking up food but I also wanted to order a coffee. The man at the counter rudely told me that I had to pick up my food at the counter in the back. When I asked if they had nonfat milk, I was again met with an attitude and he said "we only have local milk and three dairy alternatives." It was very clear that I wasn't being respected because I wasn't a local. Imagine my surprise when a small/medium sized latte, with no syrup, was $9.10. Absolute highway robbery for an average latte. For food, I ordered an avocado toast with shaved egg. I had a much better experience interacting with the woman at the food window. She was incredibly kind, made an effort to talk to me and my food was ready 20 minutes early. It was good and fresh, but I now know that I'm not a fan of the texture of shaved eggs. I'm in Sarasota a few times a year and I will absolutely not be going back.
