The Perk | Cafe and Roastery

Great quality coffee/menu, awesome service, friendly staff & super cute interior/exterior decor, nestled in Winter Park... we enjoyed delicious cortados while relaxing on the patio deck overlooking the mountains. This was a coffee lovers dream before heading for a long days hike. Thank you guys for doing coffee right!

Great coffee, lovely staff and always a fun place to be!

Good coffee and terrific atmosphere! If you need a place to get a few hours of work done while enjoying a cup or two of coffee I can’t think of a better one in Winter Park.

Huge fan of this place! Delicious coffee, fair prices, the awesome outdoors shop to browse while you wait, and great service!

We ended up buying two bags of their sweater weather blend during their sale and it was fantastic in espresso when I got home. Tempted to order online!

My wife and I really enjoyed the coffee here. We were let down that it was more of a retail store with a coffee shop because we think that the coffee part could stand on its own. The staff was very friendly.

Tasty coffee, knowledgeable (albeit not the friendliest) barista, & cool shop! Probably the best coffee in the area

I absolutely LOVE [The Perk] in Winter Park, Colorado; great service & great coffee!!

The dude below is wrong on a few facets. The perk while being small and partnered with a trendy gear shop provides customers with fantastic rich coffee and better vibes. They make plastic pollution a priority and is evident with their comical sign “we don’t have straws. Save a turtle, ride a cowboy.”

Now to address the larger issue of the China plastic pollution topic. China while does produce the second most plastic behind India it is important to consider the population of the countries. As China is currently populated with 1.4 billions while the US’s population is 330 million I believe. Per capita the US produces more plastic per person with Coca Cola and Pepsi both being American companies.

While this has become more of a rant about plastic pollution it is important for individuals to recognize their own plastic pollution and do their part to minimize such as the perk has done.

6/5 stars

The Perk not only serves the best coffee in town, but they also have a particularly wonderful staff. The Perk is a great place to work, journal, or play a round of bananagrams with friends. If you’re headed in for the first time, ask Ellie to whip you up one of her famous cappuccinos. (You’ll soon have a chance to marvel at her impressive latte art.) While she’s brewing up your masterful latte, take this as an opportunity to walk around the Trailhead and gear up for your next adventure this Colorado season. Overall, The Perk is a special place in the Fraser Valley and a place that I hope you have the chance to visit soon. Cheers to good coffee, good people, & good times!
