Nice little cozy coffee joint. The coffee was delicious and they allowed for indoor seating. Check it out if youre in the area, definitely a nice hole in the wall!

I believe my true review for this place really lies in my near-daily visits… I think this place makes Murray Hill feel like a home. Coffee is always served with care, is delicious and the employees are friendly, down to earth people. You can just tell it’s a thoughtful operation all the way thru. Perk 4 days ☕️🦋🌱

A Truly peaceful spot to relax or study and enjoy a delicious cold brew. Their lattes are excellent as well. So happy to have found this hidden gem.

Their cold brew is incredibly consistent and not too acidic. I’ve enjoyed their lattes and my partner liked the chai because it’s not as sweet as other shops. Can’t wait to try some of the seasonal lattes.

One of my favorite coffee places in the midtown area. This cafe is hard to find if you’re not from around here but that’s what keeps this gem so good!I pick up a coffee on weekends while walking my dog and couldn’t be happier with how consistently great the drinks are.

After trying several thousands review coffee shop, this is such a phenomenal espresso in the city and hidden in small shop. I love it. Highly recommended. I’d definitely come back.

Love it! Small but cozy. Really enjoyed my Honey Almond Latte and Chocolate Almond Croissant ❣️

Great coffee. Very open vibe

Great place. Wife will not let me buy a $10,000 espresso machine, so I have to come here. Really good coffee!

A friend of mine told me about cortado coffee and I been with the idea to tasted it I went to this place and its just a mind-blowing delicious and great service love it Im definitely going back

Well, that was the most unfriendly welcome I JUST had at any perk kafe. The barista said two words and was half wearing a mask on their face. They did not offer any breakfast or interact with my friend seeing if they needed anything. This wasn’t an experience... I left feeling like a burden. The latte was fine.

One of the best independent coffee shops in the area. Excellent espresso (they’re using beans from Stumptown, can’t go wrong with that!) but their seasonal coffee drinks are also worth a try.There’s WiFi, but if you’re planning to work on your laptop be aware that this is a small space that fills up quickly.

A little oasis of calm with good caffeine literally good caffeine ( espresso ) the brewed coffee was a little weak tho .

Today I had the opportunity to try my first Cortado Coffee and it was Mind blowing!! Make sure to visit @perkkafenyc . Definitely one of the best coffee shops in nyc. Lovely atmosphere and great service. Thank you for allowing me to record the process of how to properly make a Cortado Cafe!! @alexsfoodviews. I will be coming back to this place.

Great espresso and customer service to match. Came here to get some work done on my laptop and really enjoyed the atmosphere. The space is small though so it may be tough to find a table on busier days.

Nice little coffee place. My Americano was great and the Chocolate Almond Roll was amazing. Great fast friendly service.

Greatest coffee Ive had in NYC. Cozy little place too.

Much like the metaphorical flower persevering through the concrete Perk Kafe serves up delicious cups of coffee in a world saturated with Starbucks and Dunkins on every other corner.A cute little coffee shop tucked on the side street of Third avenue, Perk Kafe doesnt try to wow you with a thousand different drinks or a million single origin varieties of beans. What they do is simple in concept but impressive in execution - turn out a great cup of straight coffee every time with little fussing or overdressing - much harder when you cant flood a cup with mostly sugar and whipped cream.While theres not too much space to sit and work (though who would want to do that during COVID), a small table and windowside to sit out and work from with a cup of espresso. Overall the coffee is very good, strong shots brewed with Stumptown grinds and freshly steamed milk

Almost perfect cappuccino, and it is very rare outside ITALY! Very nice pastries (almond croissant is special) and good choice of oats and yogurts. During the week is always full of nice people and music playlist is always ok! Nice to spend here part of your working day or starting here your day around NYC.

Cosy, great music and big table for you to work off of! They have 1 outlet with 4 plugs. Free WiFi for the win!

The espresso with milk was amazing. Looked great, tasted even better. Props to the guy at the counter who seemed like a really genuine and friendly person too! Made my day!

Best coffee I had in NYC!!! And the almond croissant was delicious! Very friendly staff and overall a very positiv vibe.

I had a fantastic experience with this shop when I went there. The coffee and foods were tasty and yummy. Besides, it boosts my morning to be more energetic.

We stopped by for a quick coffee break when we were in the city visiting.It is a little low on seating capacity, but it is a good place to work with lots of charging ports and a long table area.The restroom is spotless and don’t miss to take a selfie by the mirror which has the metro map on it!

Cozy place a good toasted coffee

Nothings better than a cup of coffee well-made to lift your mood.

Good little coffee place!

Just a perfect cortado to start my Saturday. Thank You Perk Kafe!!

Quick and friendly service. Coffee was great, just didnt love the overly greasy croissant. Would come here again!

Small and personal 😌 👌 quite and friendly staff. Wifi accessible

Cute and inviting. Wish there were different roast options.

Got a oat milk matcha latte. Cashier didn’t seemed a bit impatient with me asking about the wifi and with me figuring out my order. Space feels a bit cramped, but a nice cozy place where you can just talk to anyone.

Great americano and delicious cappuccinos! 10 stars

Best coffee shop in Midtown East Manhattan. I used to come here every single day for coffee since my office was just a couple of blocks away. The owners are phenomenal and the baristas are true artists. The place is small and cozy, so finding a table is not always easy. However, the experience in this little corner of New York is great.

My preferred coffee shop more than the other fancy ones in the area. It is cozy, quiet enough to send out some emails and read a chapter of a book. Did I also mention they make a really nice brew?

Reliable coffee in Murray Hill.

I loved this place and visited often. the owner of the place was the waiter and he was just wonderful. there is now a new person who is really crazy and kills the entire ambiance and service that had made the place so nice. it is so pity. he is so rude and seems to do everything to make customers leave. no wonder, the place was always completely packed. now there are very few people there. I so much hope the owner will get back!

Small and pleasant little spot, Good coffee, the pastries could be better.

Tiny friendly chill relaxed reasonable prices communal table smile at your neighbor enjoy your day place. Conveniently but somewhat confusingly the prices that are listed on the board include the tax.The fresh coffee is available immediately and it is indeed fresh. This is the type of place where a celebrity can take a seat read a paper and kick it without hassle.

Im not happy with the way theyre doing things here. This is the third time I walk in to get a cup of coffee and find myself walking back out because the person behind the counter is not wearing a mask during this pandemic! When I approached the woman behind the counter and asked her why she wasnt wearing a mask, she replied by saying I should go elsewhere. This time I did report them to 311. This needs to stop!

Perk Cafe is a small oasis in Murray Hill. They do their best to put in as many seats as possible, but its still pretty crowded most times of the day.The highlight at Perk Cafe is the espresso drinks. The menu has the size in ounces, so no miscommunications about what is a cappuccino. Decaf, almond milk, other special requests are handled with ease. The staff is uniformly professional, and the drinks are always high quality.The pastries are very good, and dont miss the excellent cookies, including a raspberry shortbread thats delicious.Ill go several blocks out of my way for Perk Cafe. It may be hard to find a seat, but its easy to find good coffee.

Coffee and Donuts, cant complain :-)

Cozy spot with great coffee & a friendly staff

Decent place, but why can’t they make more of an effort to go plastic- free. They won’t substitute their plastic stirrers with wooden ones because it’s a few split cents more. Lucid around the corner has better coffee and tries to avoid plastic.

The cute girl at the counter made the experience even better. The tea was only $3 and she was very attentive and polite

Super cute and cozy environment, there were a few seating options to sit and eat some delicious baked goods and coffee. Most people inside were quietly typing away on tablets and laptops. Cold brew tastes sour but its definitely strong. Overall would go again for sure.

Ordered their summer latte with almond milk and honey- wax worried about what that might taste like but I was happily surprised. The cappuccino wasnt as impressive but strong coffee and a quaint little place, definitely worth the try.

Great, friendly place, fantastic coffee.I wish it was a little more sustainable though. No plastic drink stirrers and yes to a recycle can.

Cute local coffee place with working tables and staff that can make a great espresso. 🙏 Their baked goods showcase mostly gluten free, vegan and paleo options.

Good small cafeVery nice people work hereThank you so much for good coffe and great service!

Too many computers here. 5* for Staff and coffee quality, extremely friendly but customers are glued on their screen hence the 3* for the atmosphere. It could be a great Cafe otherwise. Computer free environment for at least a day per week ! Please.

The new staff during quarantine regularly leave the place unattended for 30 minute blocks at a time. Store hours inaccurate. Last time I went, the staff member was sleeping in the office and it took them over 10 minutes to serve me.

Really good cold brew, and a nice spot to work, decent number of outlets. The wifi wasnt working when I was there (hence four stars), and the place is a bit cozy, but overall I enjoyed it!

This is one of the very best places for coffee in NYC. I had perfectly pulled shots. Except for the very loud corporate job interview sitting next to me, the place is adorable. As a plus, there is a man named Minor Bishop who sketched all these landmarks in Murray Hill, and the book it available to look at. I love this place.

Nice coffee and service! Really a great drip. Wack music. Seriously. But it probably drives people away, meaning its easy to find a seat.

Cute and cozy café that reminds me of something that would be in the East Village. I love the seating by the window to be able catch the afternoon light, but its not on the avenue, so you are removed from the midtown traffic. Definitely recommend coming here to enjoy a coffee and a book.

The bread is just average but the coffee is really great.

I went twice to get a coffee around 6:45 pm, which is 15 min before they close, and both times the guy would say that he turned the coffee machine off. Today I asked why would you close it 15 minutes early, he replied in a super rude way “because it was slow and I have the right to” and he didnt care that they just lost a customer. Not sure who the owner is but Im never going back

I love this small neighborhood gem! Great coffee. Perfect place to hang out if you are lucky enough to get a seat.

Teleworking and needed a place to work that had coffee, snacks, accessible bathroom, and free WiFi! Boy did Kafe Perk deliver! Small seating area but comfortable to sit and work for 5 hours

Love this cute little coffee shop. It’s convenient and comfy for studying and conversations.

By far my favorite in terms of local coffee shops! They spend time putting together whatever you order and it always comes out perfectly. Addicted to the honey almond latte! Great study spot too!!

Fantastic coffee shop with skilled baristas. Staff is very nice. Shop is small. Ive worked from the communal table or bar seating occasionally, but its loud and small. Overall, Perk is one of my favorites in NYC.

Rarely do I write reviews, favorable or unfavorable - yet perk is deserving of my time and yours. Excellent coffee, rivaling Roccos in the village and other equally experienced purveyors. Strongly recommend.

Pretty basic food for the price. Youre definitely paying for location.

I love it. The photos dont do it justice. Its very beautiful. And I was quite surprised I found a place to sit even though the room is quite small.

Great coffee and I can actually get a flat white! 😁

Very cosy place. Good coffee and well maintained restroom. You can find your weekly issue of Time Out magazine here.

Employees were extremely nice and accommodating, and coffee was delicious. Definitely recommend!

Very nice place, good prices and quite nice food.

The coffee here is divine. Really nice chill atmosphere. I wish I lived closer.

My favorite coffee shop in the city (though the scales are definitely tipped in Perks direction since it is exactly one block from my house). They have a different single-origin drip coffee and excellent cold brew every day. Great coffee without any pretension and only a very faint hipster vibe are the reasons I come here almost every single day.

This place is a gem in the heart of midtown! Staff is friendly, coffee is amazing, and the ambiance is cozy. (Plus, it always reminds me of central perk from friends) :) be sure to check it out!

Great fast service.. great cafe ...

Love the vegan salted chocolate chip cookie and the iced honey almond latte! Good music also

New favorite coffee shop. The cold brew was great, staff is very friendly and it has a cool, quaint atmosphere

Really good cofee

Great place to meet people and chat! Friendly staff...

I walk 8 blocks for this espresso. Always excellent drinks, fresh beans (which I also purchase), and courteous and skilled (and in one case, extremely cute!) baristas.

Love their cold brew! Also they can serve with soy or almond milk.The place is a bit small but cosy.

Great coffee, great service, cute ambiance!

Cozy little coffee shop that gets packed easily. I usually go for the matcha, but sometimes the matcha isnt stirred up well so I end up getting chunks. Not great when you get a powder bomb in your mouth. Beautiful art designs though.

We were looking for a place to get an espresso and a light breakfast in the area and based on reviews, this place fit the bill. It was cozy, the coffee was very good, and the pastries were just right. If Im in the area, Ill stop on again.

Excellent coffee. Cool spot. Visit this place.

Nice staff. Nice cosy looking cafe.Dont get the hype though.The water tastes like it has been taken straight from a swimming pool (although to be honest, all tap water in NY does) and the espresso was below standard. Almost no sitting space due to customers taking advantage of the free internet, Laptops everywhere!Not worth going out of your way for.

This is the coziest little cafe Ive found in Manhattan to have a great cup of coffee, do some laptop work (well-functioning Wi-Fi), and maybe even people watch a little if you sit at the window bar seats. Late afternoons, the best.

Good coffee, but staff was a bit unfriendly.

Very fast

This is a great place for coffee or a pastry. Seating is a bit crowded though. I stop in here every time I am in the city.

Love their iced almond latte! Best in town for me:) and of course vegan pastries that they have :))

Didnt get service here. But the place is too tiny and not a lot of outlets so not great for a day of studying.

Cozy spot with excellent service and knowledgeable staff. The coffee is good, too.

My go to cafe whenever I am in the area. Good place to stop by, check e-mail, and enjoy a good cup of coffee.

Staff are always friendly and good with recommendations.

Best iced coffee they put chocolate shavings in it 👌🏽

Great small coffee shop. Fast service and good coffee.

Neat little coffee shop with WiFi. They do something special with the milk (super silky).

Love this place and has been such a nice addition to Murray Hill. The service and coffee are top notch and love just relaxing in here and reading the paper.

Delicious and smooth ice latte.. you should try it out

Fantastic Midtown spot for coffee. Cappuccino to die for. Highly recommended.
