I was looking for a local "mom and pop" coffee shop due to relocating my job. The second I walked in and smelled the delicious coffee I was in awe. I ordered a weekly special of peppermint mocha latte and loved it! I couldn't give a rating on food yet because I haven't tried it yet! **Now that I have been going here way to frequently over the past year I have to update my review. Perkatory has become my favorite coffee shop. All the employees are fantastic and I cnat think of enough positive adjectives to descibe them read more

I was so excited to try an independent coffee place. This spot looked cute. The seasonal options were underwhelming. I ended up ordering a caramel latte. It was scalding. Obviously it's hot but I had 2nd degree burns in my mouth for at least a week. I must have completely burned off my taste buds bc months later I can still feel the aftermath. I do not know why we need to make it that hot. I couldn't tell you if it was good. read more

Good coffee, good beans! It has tables and seating that's spread out enough for quiet conversations or laptop work and a big window to let in the winter sun for sone warmth. Coffee brews are solid and the available beans - both blends and single origin - are carefully roasted with few quakers. read more

I love this coffee shop in Branford. Every time I'm in the area I always try to get some coffee hot or cold depending on the time of the year. Today I got the Matcha Tea Latte. The Latte was so flavorful and delicious. The matcha flavor was perfectly balanced with the milk. The service is always great, and the ambiance is always nice compared to to other coffee shops in the area. Some people come to do some school work or mostly just work. Definitely this is one of my favorite places in Branford to get some good fresh coffee and pastries. read more

Much like the emo genre, the coffee here is never just a phase-- it's great and one of my favorites in CT! Can't go wrong with their monthly specials and the shop playlist is always a 10/10. read more

If you love coffee, Branford is a great spot for you! Perkatory is another great place in the town to get some great drinks and also catch that alternative vibe. I have been to the original location in Middletown several times and was so excited to see them move down to the shoreline. There are always at least a couple of special concoctions on their board that I cannot resist trying. The most recent was a strawberry rhubarb honey oatmilk latte, which I ordered iced. Pretty tasty. In March they had a memorable Lucky Charms latte too. The space is pretty chill and has WiFi, but their amazing playlist is usually on in the background , so I recommend no scheduled Zoom meetings if you plan to work remotely from there. read more

Tried Perkatory today for the first time and was not disappointed. I visited the Branford location. The staff was friendly and service was prompt. They made my iced latte perfectly. The shop was clean and I love the vibe of the whole place. It's a decent sized space. It is tucked away in a plaza on Brushy Plains Road. Plenty of parking available. The price I paid for my latte was average and about what I would expect. Will definitely be back soon. read more

Met up with a friend on a weekday in the late afternoon. I love the location in Middletown so I was excited to visit the Branford location. No one was really there because it was an odd time on a weekday. However, the staff was friendly we got our coffees quickly and were able to sit there and chat for as long as we pleased. Always love the great coffee and relaxed atmosphere Perkatory provides in both of its locations. read more

I got a matcha latte and it was so bitter and grainy I couldn't drink it. The barrista was nice about it and gave me a tea instead. the place was crowded, the couch was dirty and I found the place noisy. Glad the neighborhood has a choice where parking is easier, but honestly I would not go back. read more

Cool, hip, chill.... All the hipster words. Comfy couches, friendly service, delish drinks. I had the black fog the last time and the sesame milk was a pleasant surprise. I get nervous ordering from a coffee shop and still do here so wish the menu online was a bit more detailed with what is in each drink And maybe some more light bite options and this place would be perfection. Can't wait to correct papers here on a raining fall day! read more

I love this place. Every time I have been in they have been so cool about helping me with questions. I was not a big coffie drinker, so my knowledge was lacking. They have been great on getting me hooked. Come in and take a look. They have special flavors every month and they have all been good. read more

I was in Branford a few days ago, and needed a good coffee after a long drive. All the places by the beach were closed since it's off season. I eventually came across Perkatory Coffee Roasters, tucked away in a little shopping area with condos. This is for sure a sneaky, little hidden gem. I know there are a few other locations of Perkatory Coffee, but I haven't been to any of them before. This place is such a cool vibe. I asked the young man at the counter how long the store has been opened, and he said since the end of November, so they're pretty new. It is spacious and so vibrant inside. There's a lot of skeleton artwork, the message might be.. if you are coffee deprived you might become one.. Aahhh... I especially loved the mermaid skeleton hanging out on a shelf. They have a nice selection of coffees and flavors. You can also purchase their whole bean coffee and other locally made products. There's couches to sit on and bar seating, as well as a bench outside. There were also some pastry items to snack on. I got their cold brew, and my mom got just their medium hot coffee. We went pretty basic. This coffee was just right for us both. It was a super warm day, so a cold brew was fitting for me. I'm glad I found this great coffee spot! read more

Great coffee ! Cool vibe. Will definitely be back. Definitely bringing the pup next time since we found out they're dog friendly :) can't wait for our next visit. I got The Fog (black tea latte) with oat milk and a shot of espresso on the side. Sooo good ! Glad they are so close to home. read more

We've been here once before and enjoyed their drinks, but we don't live close. This time we even got a chance to go in. Besides already loving the name, the actual menu and drinks were great; a really nice selection. My daughters got hot chocolate, and they even put halloween themed sprinkles on the whipped cream! My husband enjoyed his black iced coffee, and I tried the "Mary" off of their specialty Hocus Pocus menu. All three "witch brews" sounded delicious, but I'm happy with the one suggestion for me. It came with gold edible glitter that my girls got a kick out of! Their muffins were delish too. It did need a little sweeping inside, but the food, drinks, and staff were all good. I'll definitely go again! read more

I had a pour over here. I'm pretty much a coffee snob and drink black coffee only. This was very good. If you enjoy great coffee, and will wait for it to get a pour over, this is a good spot. Friendly place too. read more

This is going to be my go-to café from now on. Relaxing, chill place where I can study, get some work done, or invite a friend for a chat. It's cool vibes but cozy at the same time. Guy at the counter was really nice and knowledgeable. Small and local. Very clean and very spacious for a small cafe! I love it! I ordered a matcha tea w oat milk, I was told there was no added sweetener so I opted for them to add some honey. It was perfect. If you're from the area, it's absolutely worth stopping by! read more
