The cozy vibe was strong the day I stopped in. From the folks playing backgammon to the friendly and fast baristas, I could have stayed here all day with a cup of tea and a book. What's to love: There was lots of seating, a big menu including a nice big tea selection, a friendly team behind the counter, and a loyalty punch card. What more do you want? I vouch for the tea, and my friend that I was with vouches for the coffee, so that makes this a great place for either. Make the trip! read more

I love this place. Everyone there is so nice! The coffee and tea varieties are never ending and the staff is really helpful with recommending custom drinks that may or may not even be on the menu. And they are so sweet to my best doggie nephew. No better coffee around! read more

Perfect Day Cafe - Mac - Cafes Near Me - Frenchtown, New Jersey

***2 1/2 stars*** It's unusual for me (and I suspect most others) to go to a coffeehouse and have a negative experience. They practically specialize in good vibes, and they're giving you caffeine, often in a big mug - what could go wrong? This was an odd visit. For the sake of the primarily tourist contingent (every single person who came in while I was there was from out of town), I hope it was an aberration, but it was heavy on mediocrity and light on execution. I stopped by yesterday (Thursday) in the mid-afternoon for a latte and a light bite during a quick cameo appearance in the Kingdom of Hunterdon. Full disclosure - I grew up one town over in Milford, so I'm very familiar with this area and there's honestly a reason why locals tend to avoid the Frenchtown downtown area like the plague. It can get very congested, especially on the summer weekends, and it's full of overpriced tourist traps. In some ways I'd argue it's worse than the more famous Lambertville to the south because it's not nearly as big as that town so everything is just condensed into about three blocks worth of insanity. Perfect Day is located in that cute corner of Bridge St where it turns in toward Route 12 and becomes Race St, on the former site of Buck's. Despite the fact that it wasn't even the weekend yet, the town was pretty bustling and a number of tourists were milling about. When I walked in, there were no other customers but that seems to have just been luck - a line of three or four people materialized shortly after I sat down, and there was never another time when I had the place to myself. So at the very least, it's getting a ton of foot traffic; it must be a madhouse in a nice Saturday. The man behind the counter (who bore a strong resemblance to character actor Saul Rubinek) was friendly to me and everyone else who came in, but unfortunately didn't seem to have much of a barista skillset or customer service background. I ordered a rose latte, along with a blueberry crumb cake-like pastry at his recommendation. The rose latte didn't contain any rose flavoring (he'd clearly forgotten it), and the crumb cake was just okay, a bit on the dry side. I think it would have been significantly better if it had been warmed up; arguably that's on me for not suggesting it, but he also didn't provide it as an option, which I think a coffee place should be doing with those types of baked goods. Also a little odd (not necessarily a negative), but when I was asked for the size of my latte, small or large, and picked small, I was told it came in the same cup as a large. That strikes me as a pretty obvious inventory addition/upgrade - why would you want the optic of a coffee mug that doesn't look full? The other weird part of this was the interior of the coffee place. I actually assumed based on my visit that this was a VERY new establishment because it didn't look completely unpacked/moved in. There were plenty of obligatory set pieces that you'd associate with a coffee place, including local art on the walls and a random typewriter on a table, but there was also a pile of magazines under a chair. That just looked sloppy. There were a few areas like that with items that just hadn't been put away, which wasn't the best optic. The bathroom could be a potential issue for them too. Per my attached picture, I didn't even realize until I'd used the facilities that the window was completely open and there was an unobscured view should a peeping tom have been lurking nearby. Hopefully my activities were unnoticed. The price point is actually pretty good, given what you're offered and the area. My total came to $14, which included the latte, the pastry and a $7 greeting card (which means the piece of cake and latte only would have been $7 total; it's not unusual to encounter a $7 latte by itself in this day and age). That's probably the biggest selling point by far here. There's another coffee shop just down the street. The next time I'm in the area, I'm going to give that one a shot instead. Hopefully their bathroom is a bit more private at least. read more

Stopped here while we were exploring Frenchtown. Definitely a change from the type of coffee spots I'm used to. Service was helpful and extremely personable but you could tell you were not up north as they were a bit slower paced which was not a problem. Cozy and quaint vibe. And their prices you cannot beat. The food there is all from local bakeries which was great. read more

Looking forward to another visit next time I'm in town! Thank you again! read more

There seem to be a few places where one can get coffee in the cute village of Frenchtown, but my daughters and I stopped in here because of the big sign in the window that said "COFFEE." We sat and relaxed with 3 different flavors: chai latte, lavender latte and mocha latte. All delicious and not expensive at all. There was always a line of people getting coffee for the 45 minutes we sat there, and the owner is very pleasant to talk to. read more
