Reviews for Perks Coffee & Cafe in Metairie, LA
Cute little coffee shop style cafe with big restaurant plates. We had the California omelette with extra bacon. EVERYTHING was... seasoned and cooked perfectly. Our food came out in less than 10 mins. We will be back next time we're in the area. The onlything I was annoyed with, but I didn't think it was worth taking a star away, was their lack of clear pricing. They have a smallnote at the bottom of their menu mentioning price changes due to inflation. The prices on the menu reflect the old prices,there's nothing crossing them out. It appears as if THOSE are the inflated prices. It's misleading. When I was expecting to pay$12.75 for an omelette, it was $16.75. And because they're tablet wasn't updated I didn't see my total till my card was ran andthe order was placed. So what I thought would be a $30 breakfast for 2 was $50. That's a big difference. I think printing papermenus with new prices would be more efficient. If one someone goes in there with only a certain amount of money and doesn't knowwhat they can afford ahead of time because they don't have the current prices prior to placing their order, it makes for anuncomfortable experience.

Warning: Anything you purchase here will ring up higher than the posted price! The food is good, the drinks are good and the... staff is friendly. Those are the reasons I begrudgingly return. The reason I don't return more frequently than I do is theblatantly dishonest pricing. They haven't updated their drive-thru menu board in years, and it's not some sort of high endthing. It's the sort of sign you can have printed for a couple hundred bucks at a sign shop. It's the same story with thewebsite. Today I ordered an item listed as $7.96 on the website, and it was $10.06 (before tax) when I went to pay. They hadthe funds to open a second location a year ago, so I don't buy the argument that they can't afford to stay on top of the pricingbetter than they do. I guess other customers complained because they posted a little sign in the pick-up window that says "Untilfood costs stabilize prices will be different." The problem is that this has been going on for over 2 years here, and there'sreally no effort on the part of the owners. Read more
Horrible food for expensive. Half our table was served their food and the other half waited an additional 40 minutes. Guests... that came in far after were served before the other half of our table was. Once we finally had enough waiting, we tried to get aworker?s attention. The girl working while we were here (10:30-11:30 and going) (glasses and hair up taking orders with greenshirt) heard my family trying to get her attention, turned her head, then continued walked back to the kitchen area. Everyonecould tell she purposely ignored us. We the. Had to get up and walk after her. She never turned around, and we had to getanother worker?s attention that was preparing food. We ended up getting the rest to go. The girl came back over and apologizedfor forgetting our other family member?s food, but it still doesn?t make up for this experience. Will never be back.

I asked for a veggie wrap and they put meat in it. Also, gave me a grilled cheese sandwich with slices of cheese not... toasted/melted at all. Also got a carton of Mac and cheese that tasted like cardboard (probably sat in that carton way to long).I never review places, but this was not right. Read more
This is our favorite place to go to Sundays. We've had many things on their menu and every time the food is excellent. The... atmosphere and friendly counter and cook staff also keep us coming back. Thank you, Perks people, for keeping it such a niceplace to eat and drink coffee. Read more

Service here is great. People are friendly and happily answer any questions. Flavored lattes are a bit too sweet, even after... asking for light sweetener. Food is delicious and ingredients are very fresh. They also have bendy straws which is cool. Overalla great experience! Read more
Terrible first (and last) experience! Two breakfast platters and one coffee-$31! Menu looks pricey, but does not show actual... price, unless you double it! Gave my mom bacon instead of sausage. Bacon was burnt, hash browns are just potato chunks andcoffee tastes like the grinds! And don?t ask about the bread! ???? Read more
