Perk Up

Perk Up is a lovely traditional coffee house. Their espresso is top notch. The vegetarian quiche was also yummy.

I prefer frappuccinos/blended coffee so, this is not a place I'd frequent. (They only have iced coffee.) But the walk up service, deck, and ambience are all great.

Yana gave us great service and was very kind and helpful! We both loved the coffees we ordered and loved getting to sit in their outdoor area to drink it. Their indoor area is closed and yana said they don’t have a date set for it opening. We loved the muffin and breakfast sandwhich we got as well. They have great specialty coffees to try. We each got 2! It was nice being so close to the monon as well.

I wanted to love it, but.....from the moment I walked in, the staff seemed annoyed and unhelpful. I asked what’s good, and without a smile, she pointed to the board. The more I tried to engage her, the more curt her answers. When asked about the drip coffee, she pointed to the thermoses with coffee. When asked about flavors, she pointed to the syrups on the back wall. No attempt to even try and be friendly. Why would I return? The quiche was good, but overpriced. The latte was nothing special. With so many wonderful coffeehouses, why would I return? Perhaps to hear them bark out coffee drinks as they make them? Or to watch dogs enter and sniff the food? Thanks, but I’ll pass. I so wanted to love this place. So disappointing.

Sublime egg sandwiches, some of the best quiche around, and ham-and-cheese bread is to die for. Great coffee. Takes a while, but worth the wait - every bit of it.

Excellent service! I got the Dirty Hippy iced coffee with Almond milk and Vegetarian Quiche- delicious! Cute local spot with lots of food options as well. A little pricey but worth it to support local.

Wonderful little place on the monon. Their German pastries are fabulous!!

Dining area not open but I’m not kidding this was the best latte I’ve ever had

Coffee drinks and breakfast sandwiches

This charming cafe is such a wonderful find in Broad Ripple. Friendly, knowledgable staff, great coffee, and the french toast is to die for.

I used to love coming to this place. They always had fantastic service and I really enjoy their drinks and food. However, I’m not sure what happened, but their service has gone downhill lately. And two of the last three times I’ve gone I found a handwritten note on the window “Back in 20 minutes - 1:50”. Which is really strange considering they close at 2:00. I wasn’t going to stand around and wait 15-20 minutes for coffee when there are so many other places within walking distance. I hope this is only a temporary funk they’re going through and that they are a good place to go again once the pandemic is over.
