I got to the coffee shop right at seven when it opens. I asked for a 12 ounce drink with a very small amount of half-and-half. I got out of the coffee shop, took a sip and the coffee is cold. I thought that was strange, but just continued to walk home. I finally took the top off the coffee and there must've been a half a cup of half-and-half in it. No wonder it's cold. I dumped it out on the side of the street. Definitely not worth the walk or the five dollars. read more

Perfect Perk is the place for all kinds of specially brewed coffees. Staff is friendly & knowledgeable & always delivers the best iced or hot latte. The outside area is well appointed with comfortable furniture & beautiful flower pots. Inside is also nicely decorated. Finish off your coffee with one of their delicious fresh sweets. I've tried many local cofffee places but Perk is consistently the best. Emelia A. read more

Not the best lattes I've had. We ordered two--an oat milk and an almond milk one. The almond milk latte tasted slightly salty, and the oat milk latte wasn't steamed enough, missing that velvet foam. Both were very weak and tasted almost like coffee. read more

Can be hit or miss. When it's good, it's really good, like the chocolate chai. But sometimes the drinks are watery and have an odd taste. They also don't tend to know how to make the drinks that are posted on social media. Didn't enjoy their pastries the one time I tried. read more

I finally found the only place I will go for my daily cup o' joe.. usually twice daily cup o' joe.. Decor is great, everything is clean and new. The atmosphere is so chill and comfortable. You have to try one of their specialty drinks - they are so tasty and almost to pretty to drink, I said almost.. Highly, highly recommend!!!! read more

The best coffee around by a long shot! I used to be a rook girl but after having one of their lattes I was hooked. The quality of their coffee is next level and their staff is always so welcoming and kind. One of the partners, Christina, is usually working behind the counter and she is so sweet and conversational. They are really quick so good to grab and go, or there is a cute seating area outside. They also offer bakery items and other treats. Can't say enough good things about this place! I'm obsessed and keep bringing friends here to try read more

Perfect outdoor setting even on a cold day. Get the Copenhagen for a dark roast in a glass mug and enjoy a gluten free carrot cake (that is surprisingly soft and delicious for GF) There is a couch and table setting that converts into a campfire table (propane) to sip and relax while catching some winter sun next to a heater lamp. read more

Went there yesterday evening with friends! Loved the place, coffee , desserts and stuff! Highly recommend read more

Love this place! The drinks and sweets are to die for. And VITO is the BEST employee! He is so sweet and really puts love into everything he does there. Highly recommend! read more

Despite the effluvia from the local heroin addicts, there are coffee beans here for sale. The coffee is quite frankly fantastic--not everybody is used to an upscale experience, and that's really okay! Coffee from Exxon gas stations might suit those with low, primitive palates, but if you prefer the real thing, perhaps a delightful macchiato after a meal or a dessert cappucino after dinner and a great movie at our local Showroom theatre--a coffee made with the care and attention to detail you'd expect from a fine coffeehouse, this would be the place to come. They've got amazing treats--chocolate chip brownies, real Brooklyn cheesecake, hot, buttery croissants and delicious waffle compotes with syrup--as well as nice cooler drinks--icy cold Coke, diet Coke, Canada Dry ginger ale, San Pellegrino, and others, poured into a glass over ice like a civilized gourmand expects. Come by. Corner of Main and Third, low brick building on the northbound side. If you remember where Giamano's Ristorante was, its right across the street. Seven to seven weekdays, seven to ten weekends. read more

FINALLY.....I never write a review but.... Spent the weekend in Bradley...beautiful town, Walked my puppy and had an AMAZING cappuccino!!!! The place is beautiful.. sat outside( dog friendly)and enjoyed my cappuccino... I found a little piece heaven. Will be back!!!! read more

started coming here a couple of weeks ago and am obsessed. it may just be me, and that is perfectly okay, but this place is amazing. the first time my mom and i went in for coffee the owner made our drinks and it was fantastic. staff has also always been nice and welcoming when we would go in and very attentive. i even tried one of their pastries and it was actually great. i live in ocean and nowhere close to the shop and my mom and i both agree that this place (along with our favorite boba shop in edison and my favorite cafe in nyc) is worth traveling for. she even tried their cold brew black (she never tries coffee black, let alone enjoys it) and loves it. we are looking forward to placing orders to purchases the 16oz bottles of it our next visit. dare i say, y'all trippin' if you think otherwise. as someone who use to be an assistant manager of a local coffee shop, i get the frustration when your drink doesn't come out the way you want it, but it's really never that deep. it's just coffee, not the end of the world (considering everything going on in the world right now), it's really not that serious. anyways, i can't wait until the pandemic is over and indoor seating is a thing so i can have a change of scenery and sit inside the cafe and get some work done. ^^ read more

Came to visit a friend in Bradley Beach and I wish I could bring this coffee shop with me back to NYC!! Not only is the service great but the coffee is incredible!! I can't wait to come back every time I visit! read more

Two young girls that work there (I don't know their names, they don't wear name tags and they don't care to introduce themselves) are absolutely abhorrent. They do not say "hello" or "thank you" and never ever get our drinks right. I live right in town so I was looking forward to their new location being closer to me. Unfortunately, it's just awful. We just left the shop to get some cold lattes after the beach. I even asked to confirm that they were lattes. We received iced coffees. Oh and they completely forgot about our order that we paid over $12 for until we told them we were waiting. The store was empty. Too bad they were busy on their phones and socializing to remember they're at work. My very first job was as a barista at a coffee shop when I was 17. The position isn't exactly difficult. These girls were old enough to know better (I'd say sophomores or juniors in college). I would go back to ask for a refund, but something tells me those girls wouldn't know how to do that. There goes $12 down the drain. Absolutely unacceptable and, quite frankly, beyond disappointing. Terrible terrible terrible. read more

My friends and I stopped in for some coffee after getting rained out at the beach. I was pleasantly surprised by both the customer service and the coffee. I ordered a large iced coffee with caramel and almond milk and an order of the Nutella bomboloni. Everything was delicious. The large was huge, not what I was expecting but I drank the entire thing. The staff were kind and competent. There is no indoor seating due to coronavirus and masks are required. This establishment is great at ensuring both customer and employee safety (masks, 6 ft distance, etc.) I will definitely be returning! read more

Decided to get coffee prior to going to the beach. Many options for lactose intolerant. They offered oat milk. Environment friendly with paper straws. read more

This is a gem of a place. All milk choices available. Perfectly beautiful looking and tasting pastries. Attention to detail. Friendly and welcom read more

Nice spot to grab a coffee if you have a hole in your pocket and a lot of money to burn $$$. Classy.

Really great service and atmosphere. I got a hazelnut latte and chocolate mousse dessert. Both were so delicious.

I was swinging by with my friend for a afternoon cup of coffee to start the weekend. I was welcomed as soon as i walked in by Alex. The customer service was phenomenal which made the experience even better. I will absolutely be back! read more

This place was even better than the photos. The coffee was great. They have many dairy free options, and the waffle we ordered was so good! The fruit was fresh, and overall would definitely go again. Stop by this place for some good vibes and even better coffee read more

Great place for a simple dessert and coffee. Reminds me of a European coffee bar. Pleasant and friendly staff. Free WiFi. read more

Trash. Absolute garbage service and terrible coffee. This place blows. You guys should strongly consider hiring experienced people.

Like a child, sitting in the passenger's seat, I whined, "I want a cupcake. I want a cupcake. I want a cupcake. I want a cupcake." And man, did I EVER get a cupcake! I guess there's nothing like watching a pretty, petite premenstrual scarfing down a 10lb stuffed s'mores cupcake the size of her head. I washed it down with one of the most delicious cups of coffee I've ever had. Just like a big girl. That night I had a combination of sweet dreams of floaty, fanciful cupcakes and horrifying caffeine induced nightmares. This place rules. read more

Love the Perfect Perk! Every time I visit them, the coffee has been excellent. I've tried espresso, cappuccino and regular black coffee, all were excellent. The staff is kind and efficient. I also love the desserts on their showcase plus all the GF options! read more

This place has some nice aesthetics and a good vibe. I got an iced latte with half and half and caramel and vanilla. I did not taste anything besides foam and a little vanilla. No coffee at all. My partner got an iced matcha latte. It wasn't even green or taste like anything besides milk. If you want coffee, go somewhere else, this isn't a coffee place for people who want coffee. I'm a barista and have been for three years, the coffee isn't very great and they could always do better. The baristas weren't very attentive either. They totally forgot our order and we were the only people in the cafe. Not professional. read more

The coffee, specialty drinks, and treats are AMAZING here !! The ambience is comforting, and the staff is extremely friendly. Great place to get work done, too. This is my favorite cafe and go-to spot ! read more

Really friendly service behind the counter-- very nice place to sit as well. My friend ordered a cold drink that she liked (chocolate/iced coffee I think?) I also a hot chocolate and espresso drink with orange rinds... It was delicious! If I'm back at this beach, I will definitely stop by here before heading to the beach... read more

Recently thought I'd stop by this spot since it had some good reviews and I was around the area. Honestly, I wasn't happy with their customer service (quite rude). As for the coffee I ordered...subpar. I'll stick to the places around my area. read more

Found this place on social media was so excited to try it out but was sadly disappointed. The staff was rude and unfriendly. Gave the place a very cold environment. The cold brew tasted watered down and the pastry was dry. Overrated!! read more
