The Perk Coffee Shop & Cafe

Amazing food and great service! We ate lunch and our mouths watered over every bite, especially the Wisconsin pretzel cheese curds! Definitely a place not to miss if you are in Ephriam.

love this cute coffee shop! i’ve been going ever since the trailer opened. however i do think that afternoon workers don’t know what they are doing. the coffee was super watery and it didn’t taste good as before. and also i never make bad reviews but something outraging happened the other day! i came in a few minutes before they close. the waitress was amazing. she suggested for me to take out food instead of dining in. while i was excited to try out new food since it was my first time in the cafe, the chef came up to me and insisted to hurry up twice. the first time, he told me they were closing in 15 minutes. second time he told me he already has turned off the grill and even though the store hasn’t even closed yet. after once i felt bad so i started looking at drinks but TWICE? i wasn’t even looking at the dinner food anymore… just drink… i was really disappointed. probably will never dine in again.

This is really Good food! It’s nice to have a new place in town. We’ve eaten here a few times and have been happy. Giving 4 stars because we did a call in order and they forgot something, even though the order was read back to me to confirm it was right. When we went back, we were charged for the missing item, because it wasn’t on the bill, despite making sure everything was correct before completing the order.
We also haven’t loved their coffee/ chai drinks. Inconsistent mixtures, and temperatures.
But the food is GREAT!!

A town sentiment reworked and brought back to life! Love the Perk and am so glad it’s available to the community. Quality, fresh food and the best coffee in the county (in my opinion). A modern, casual vibe. Looove the drive thru.

Wanted to support local businesses, and really wanted to enjoy this place. Went in for breakfast today and waited an hour and a half on breakfast for two people, before walking out after giving up. No updates from the server, no refills on the drinks. The group behind us walked out afterwards. Hope things get better here. Personally won’t come back.

As an added bonus, we both got food poisoning… from the lattes.

Thus place is great! I've had the Perk Burger, Chicken And Waffles, and a regular burger. All were cooked to perfection and tasted amazing. The breading on the chicken is best seasoned around. I recommend getting a plate of Messy Fries to share with the table.

What was the Satisfied Yew has been revamped into a unique cafe/dinner. With great lattes, I recommend the Honey Lavender Latte it was delightful, and spot on menue, delicious Mac and cheese. The waitress was very sweet and attentive and atmosphere was inviting. Will definitely be back! 👍

I was pleasantly surprised that their food was better than their coffee. I think they have an amazing thing going and a lot of the cafe has a very nice vibe where some of it seems unfinished. They've come a long way from a trailer that was in a hole to getting a brick and mortar and it's very pleasant to see a local business last! I definitely recommend trying their grilled cheese as well as their breakfast! I will definitely return.

Cute environment, friendly service. The country fried steak was good but was supposed to come with grilled vegetables, instead it came with a scoop of canned corn. The Caesar salad was inedible due to the excessive amount of dressing (Clearly something they pulled out of a bag from grocery store) and they forgot to add the grilled chicken. The server tried to make it right and gave me the chicken to-go on our way out. Thoughtful gesture. I expected more for what they are charging, not cheap!

We went for breakfast around 9. The food was good, prices fair and the atmosphere relaxed. Unfortunately the service was pretty slow. It was busy but it still seemed like they could be much more efficient.
