Stopped by for some coffee and a smoothie while at the mall. Smoothie was good, the only thing is that they use syrup instead of real fruit. The person behind the counter seemed a little stressed but was handling it well. He was a little busy and was the only one there. Coffee shop is small but nice! read more

La Perk - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palmdale, California

I'm writing this review mainly because of the barista who was working last night on 4/27/2026. I come here often because I love their drinks, and the staff is always friendly...but she truly stood out. I forgot to ask for her name, but her customer service was top notch from the moment my daughter and I walked in. I asked if she could make a banana matcha with cold foam, and she made it so delicious that I came back later to order a larger one because my daughter loved it too. After finishing our drink, she noticed she had a little extra and instead of wasting it, she kindly gave my daughter a small cup of her own. That completely made my daughter's night and made her so happy. We thanked her and told her how sweet that was. She was warm, thoughtful, and genuinely went above and beyond. Service like that is exactly what keeps customers coming back, and I truly hope we get to see her again. And if you happen to read this review, I just want you to know my daughter was so thankful for the drink you gave her. Your kindness truly meant a lot to her. read more

I've been here several times over the past year as this mall has become a halfway point meeting spot for me and my kids' dad. What does that have to do with coffee? Well, our kids are artists, and we really like all the fan art adorning this place. Jars hand painted with animated characters are so much fun, and provide a much more interesting experience than drab Sbucks. We like the drink concoctions but I feel like the drip coffee is not that flavorful. It gets me through the drive home though. And service has always been with a smile. We went a couple days ago and the small iced lavender matcha white mocha latte I ordered wasn't filled up- it was like 3/4 of an inch below the rim, which was disappointing for a drink over $5. So, I question the quality control practices. read more

La Perk - They change these paintings every now and then. This is from last year. - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palmdale, California

In the past I've been a huge fan of La Perl coffee and I've been craving a coconut mocha chiller so recently I went in and placed my order I specifically used the term "chiller" but when she gave me my order she called out a "coconut mocha SHAKE" so I asked her about it and she said, "well usually a chiller has no fruit in it so I made you a shake." I was kinda annoyed cus that's not what I ordered, she confirmed my order prior to payment but made her own thing. It was just annoying because I've ordered the coconut mocha CHILLER there for years and instead gave me a shake but I literally can't have whole milk in large portions or ice cream due to a medical condition so I basically wasted my money. I was trying to support a small business but ig I'll be switch back to Dutch. read more

Great atmosphere, kind workers, fast service and delicious coffee...a combination you rarely get. I cannot emphasize how polite they are...I really appreciated it, and I can't wait to go back! read more

La Perk - La Perk Coffee - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palmdale, California

I placed a order and was waiting about 20 minutes very unprofessional waste of money I spent for no drink, I am in disbelief with the service that was given to me, I can't imagine the girl who took my order how many people she has gave bad service too very bad for the company I gotta say, You Can't go very far in life with an attitude like that, all that said never will I come this location again. read more

I have always been curious about this Coffee shop. Every time I go to Bath and Body works, the smell of coffee is so inviting. I went in to get a hot cup of coffee. Their prices were kind of pricey like Starbucks. So I just ordered a small cup. It's okay nothing special about it. read more

See all

This place is so much better than Starbucks and for the price. The owner even chatted with me after I bought my drink and asked about my arm in a sling. Most people these days don't care about anyone but themselves. Every drink I have gotten here has always been good quality. Definitely recommend the mocha Oreo frapp. read more

La Perk - Mocha coconut with Oreos - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palmdale, California

The drinks are not what they used to be. Second time in a month i come and they were not good.

Customer service is not good. The people that work here are not friendly at all. I ordered a latte w/almond milk. I was charged .95 more and when I received my coffee it wasn't even filled to the top. I asked if they can add milk. The lady just grabbed the cup and gave it to another girl that was making the drinks and made a comment to each, I guess they felt I was being to much to ask the a $5 cup of coffee be filled to the top. When the milk was added the girl didn't give it to me, she handed it over to another worker (guy), I thought that wAs weird because he didn't even know who the coffee was for. Anyhow, I said thank you, he didn't even acknowledge that and turned away. I'll be grabbing my coffee elsewhere read more

La Perk - Latte - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Palmdale, California

Deanna who works here is literally the best ever! She makes my drink so good every time I come! Not too mention how sweet and helpful she is! I recommend her specifically if you go! read more

The service here is great and inviting the shift manager I think name is Jae she is very polite. i always get the banana smoothie or the chi tea with cinnamon. their pastry's are also fresh. I have been going there since i moved to the AV over 3 years now. The prices are reasonably, I mean it is in the mall. read more

Got a vanilla latte, tastes like cigarette butts, not pleasant. No complaints about service.

I think her name is Deanna? I'm not too sure, but every time I come, she makes my drink so perfect! I'm currently hooked on the Cookies and Mint chiller it's so good so I've been coming quite often lately. But DUDE! It's so good when she makes it. Believe me when I say this..no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE! Can make the drinks better than she can! Sometimes I don't even bother on going in if she isn't there, because that's how great she makes the drinks! read more

We came up to the AV to visit family. I hadn't been to this mall since the 90s, where this used to be a Gloria Jean's. The coffee shop looks exactly the same. I appreciated that nostalgia. Coming from LA, we expected to find a Coffee Bean or Starbucks at this mall, but I'm glad we didn't. The three baristas were nice and they looked busy but also focused on good service. The almond milk latte was great. I was a barista for 11 years, using both auto machines and the old school espresso machines. I could tell they pulled perfect shots. And the foam was also perfect. We also got a peanut butter mocha chiller--not sure of the exact name, but he's pretty picky when it comes to blended coffee drinks and he slurped it down and said it was awesome. Thanks for the good service! If we lived up here, I'd come to mall just for coffee or drive past Sbux any time I wanted to go out for coffee. read more

The drinks here are good. But man, the management here is CHEAP, and prices are never consistent. I've stopped coming here so often since they lost one of the head baristas (I think her name was Patty). Business has changed since she left, and I just don't appreciate coming here like I used to. read more

I bought a coffee mug here a few days ago and brought it back in today to do an even exchange. Apparently it had a small chip I didn't notice upon buying it. I didn't dig out the receipt thinking it was an even exchange. The clerk told me I needed it to verify it was purchased there. It was wrapped in one of their boxes but okay. She first looked through their receipt book, couldn't locate the sale, I offered to show her my bank statement, she said no to that. She wanted me to describe the sales clerk which I did. I wasn't sure if her hair was in a bun or straight though...but I think she was kind of tall. So she then called a sales clerk who verified I bought it there I guess. Coming back to the counter she said she was sorry but she can't help me without the receipt. She said "I know you bought it here but I just can't". Mind you all I wanted was to get an unchipped mug and leave. She asked if I could come back later with the receipt. I told her I live in the next town and made a trip here for just this reason. I told her never mind I'll just do a Yelp review. She said her name was Stacy. I am not one to be petty and don't usually write a negative review. But after being locked up for months and finally being able to shop it was disappointing to receive service like this. read more

Staff is very unfriendly, nonprofessional and rude. Not coming back and I suggest you don't either , avoid the bad time .

So my original review gave this place 5 stars. But since then the service has plummeted. For one they are the only coffee shop I have ever gone to that has ran out of actual coffee. And they don't have decaf options.. last time I asked for decaf I was told it was only to buy beans but not drinks. My husband ordered an ice coffee last time we were there and it tasted like sweet tea with coffee flavoring. Disgusting. Hopefully they can improve the service since this place has been at the mall for as long as I can remember. read more

Not super happy with the experience. I ordered a 16oz iced coffee, I was given a 12 oz. The guy behind the counter didn't tell me if it was my drink or not - he was too busy talking to his friend. I won't go back. read more

Love be this place! But today 8/12 the girl who served me at 11 am was absolutely rude, unpleasant, not polite, seemed like she hated her job, and the worst customer service I've ever experienced here. This place is great I'd hate for it to lose business due to poor customer service. read more

I have been coming here for over 4 years (when I began working at the mall and this was the most convenient spot). I came a couple of times before I worked at the mall. The previous owners were terrible. I got charged extra once for light ice in a drink, and mind you, after several times of asking for there to be less ice, the employee still put the cup 5/6 full of ice. I guess they charge more because there's more liquid than ice as filler, but if you're going to charge extra you had better make sure that there's enough extra liquid to justify the extra charge. If mom and pop shops want to compete with the Starbucks of the world they need to offer something that makes them worthy of competition. The new owner is a kind man, and I have had nothing but pleasant exchanges with him, however the inconsistency and employee turnover rate are disappointing as well as alarming. I order the same drink 99% of the time. However, it is made differently by each individual employee. There is no consistency in the training. In fact, today I had to tell a new employee how to make my drink. The drinks are different prices depending on who is working as well. La Perk definitely needs a training program and an easy pricing guide. As is, there is a menu above the counter, and variations on drink orders are listed on a well-worn but confusing pile of paperwork that the employees must look through every time they take an order to give the customer a price, and even that is inconsistent. The menu and pricing need to be streamlined, easily readable and referenced, for the sake of the employees and the efficiency of the business and traffic. The attitude of the employees is also hit or miss. Certain employees who have been there for awhile (more than a few months) act as though they are irritated that customers come in and that taking the orders is a problem or hassle. It makes for an uncomfortable experience, and had I other options on a 15 minute break, I'd take any of them rather than go there when certain people are working. Much of the time, I find that the same employees who look miserable to be there are also the ones on the phone or talking to their workmates when customers approach and do not stop talking to attend customers immediately and then often lose track of orders so that they have to be reminded that people are waiting on them. The behavior of much of the staff is unprofessional, unfortunately. I also notice high turnover of employees. I can't know for sure, but I attribute this to their age and my suspicion that some employees are either family members or the children of members of the church at which the owner is Pastor, rather than a trained staff with prior cafe experience. Most of the drink selections are delicious, and the shop offers snacks and food as well, so it's definitely convenient, so long as shoppers know they are paying for convenience and not much more. There is a $3.00 minimum charge to use card (I assume to cover whatever fee the bank charges for card transactions). I hate to say it because the drink I get from there is my favorite of any coffee place by far, when made properly, but I have a feeling that if the owners do not get a handle on their business to make it more streamlined and efficient, the only thing keeping them in business will be convenience. read more

Been here a couple of times, all good experiences I really enjoy their cold brew coffee and teas. Today I went for a coconut mocha frappe it was great (not too sweet and subtle on the coconut) . I'd like to thank Hayley for her customer service, she has rung me up a few times not as much as the other baristas but she her genuine kindness and interest for her customers has definitely made her stand out, she has always been nice, polite, caring, and makes an effort to have a brief convo not too much to stop her work but enough to get to know her customers, that is really admirable service! Stay kind! read more

That was the worst experience all around. My husband got iced coffee and I got iced chai tea. We got the kids some cookies. The drinks did not taste good at all. The cookies were hard and flavorless. My husband brought it all back and was told "absolutely no refunds". We did not receive a receipt either until we insisted on one. And the receipt is a hand written carbon store receipt. For $14.25 we expect much better quality food/beverage and service. Our first clue should've been that they had no customers! We will not be going there anymore. read more

This place is a rip off. The coffee is watered down, they charge for ANYTHING. I ordered an iced vanilla coffee. Ok 2.75 total. Then I was charged an extra .75 for the vanilla flavor. It's not the .75 cents that upsets me, its the employees that don't inform their customers of the charges. I had to ask why is my small coffee coming out to nearly 4 bucks. The customer service is extremely poor. The older short skinny Hispanic lady with the dark hair which I believe is the manager named Gabby is extremely rude. Just gives this vibe that she seems annoyed when customers come. I have caught her being friendly only to male customers. I don't plan to waste my money here again. I'm hoping a Starbucks comes in the mall instead. read more

I came here hoping to try a new place and support a local coffee shop. Ordered a Vanilla latte. When i receive my drink they served it macchiato style. I try it and its coffee and milk flavor. No vanilla taste. I ask the girl if i can have just a but more vanilla since i cant taste it. They then tell me its .75¢. Not complaining about the 75 cents it will cost be but how are you going to charge me to fix the drink i already paid for!? Whatever i hand her my card and she then tells me charges have to be $3.00 for card. Ridiculous! I already paid about $5 for a beverage that was not made correctly and you want me to pay to fix it? Terribly ran place. Surprised they are still in business. read more

This is a great place to grab a delicious cup of coffee! I asked for whip cream on top of my order and they were happy to serve it just the way I like it, I highly recommend stopping by this clean and friendly coffee shop if you are ever in the Av mall! They know how to serve it up great! read more

Honestly if I could give this spot an extra star I would I came in with a large order for a lot of people who like there coffee very specifically took it back to the office and everyone got exactly what they wanted plus their names were spelled correctly. The extra star goes to esaw awesome job. read more

I don't know about the previous review, but I actually really like this coffee shop. Coffee is good quality, and the drinks taste yummy! The really tall employee there is super sweet! Would def keep coming back here. read more

They have amazing coffee. It is so good and it is better then any other coffee I have ever had. You have to go try it, its awesome.

Ok years ago I used to love this spot because they made my drink perfect and never gave me a problem but fast forward today when I went in the lady there was rude not friendly and now they want to charge 75cents for little chocolate sprinkles that were always added before no charge ...this place is going down hill prices were already too high but now it's getting stupid read more

Excellent service nice a clean place , I come to this coffee shop on a daily base and is not what this two other reviews are trying to said!!! read more

Every time I come here they never get my drink right! But they do try. They need to write the orders down so they could get them right.

They have good drinks and the inside of the place is cute and has tons of mugs and things you can buy. They made our drink quick too.

BEST COFFEE I'VE EVER HAD!!!!! Such a welcoming crowd of people, love the entire decor of the store My new favorite place, seriously everyone should check this place out read more

My new favorite place!! I love the cold brew with cream and hazelnut!! The employees are very nice and professional =}

Too bad they are not wearing name tags. One lady was very rude. I told her to cancel my order and went to the next lady. She was super friendly. read more

Hadassa Martinez is such an amazing girl! She is fast and efficient in everything she does for her customers. I never see her just standing around, and always makes sure to acknowledge all her customers that walk through the door. Keep up the great work girl! read more

Every time I go to the mall, I always have to stop at La Perk! Been going there for over 10 years, I love that place!

This place is awesome. My husband is a coffee lover and I love Tea. They have an excellent selection of both and great service. The staff is friendly and the girl who helped us suggested new Teas that I would have never known about otherwise. I've also gone there with friends when shopping at the mall for a drink and snack. Its cozy atmosphere and warm service, not to mention good quality is just the right recipe for a real coffee joint versus the strip mall Starbucks etc. And in case they read this: The Honeysuckle White Tea is FANTASTIC - Thanks for the suggestion and I'll be back for more :) read more
