    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!

    ***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.

    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.

    Outside Perfect Cup cafe!

    I made my first visit just after opening time and following a drive from RI. I'd left at 3:30 am and desperately needed coffee. The barista made me the best cappuccino that hit the exact spot I needed it to! So good I forgot to take a pic! made the rest of my drive wide awake and arrived ready for breakfast! Looking forward to another visit next time I'm in town! Thank you again!

    Perfect Day is a great little coffee shop town, Good people,good vibes and good cofffee. So if in Frenchtown you should give them a try

    Stopped by the cafe on Sunday morning while waiting for my girlfriends. I ordered a Golden Milk Latte. It was delicious! The barista was friendly and made sure that I was satisfied with my order. I liked the vibe of the cafe, enjoyed the music. I'll definitely be back when I'm in the area.

    Black River Roasters is one of my long-time favorites. Their seasonal drinks are always so good. I…read moreespecially love the iced maple latte. There's plenty of indoor seating, and the outdoor seating area is spacious and really elevates the whole atmosphere in the warm weather. The baristas are consistently kind, quick, and talented, and the drinks come out perfect every single time. I'm a huge local coffee shop fan, and not every shop nails consistency, but Black River Roasters has gotten it right without fail since the day they opened. I've been coming here since they first opened their doors, and their coffee is still tough to beat. Truly some of the best coffee I've ever had!

    Passing through Whitehouse Station and in search of coffee brought me to Black River Roasters, and…read moreit definitely was a pleasant surprise! First impressions: wow, this place is huge for a coffee shop. Black River roasts their own coffee beans in house, which is always nice and means you're getting some high quality caffeine. Seasonal flavors included pumpkin, bourbon maple, and apple cinnamon -- so you already know you're getting quality, since these aren't flavors you can get just anywhere. I loved the signage depicting staff favorite drink mixes as it adds a fun touch to the menu! Coffee was great, my only complaint is that with syrups the drink can get way too sweet (especially since I typically drink unsweetened coffee.) Make sure to ask for less syrup and you'll be good to go! Can't wait to return!
