I’ve been going to Perla since it opened. It has delicious breakfast and lunch options as well as their desserts they make. Their sandwiches and crepes are delicious and are go to when we dine there. Their coffees and drinks are also tasty and always changing with new flavors.
Stopped in for brunch with my friend and had an awesome experience. Everyone working was extremely pleasant and welcoming. Food was fresh and flavorful. Being that I grew up in the area, it refreshing to finally see a breakfast/ brunch spot vs a traditional diner. I will definitely be coming back when I am in the area.
We had great coffee (a latte & cappuccino), omelette quesadilla + egg croissant + apple turnover, which were all great & served with a smile! Portion sizes were big, so we could’ve just ordered one breakfast item for the two of us but now have a snack to go;-) We ate outdoors (which has morning shade) as we had our dog, which was cozy. All in all, a great experience. The cafe is easy to miss tucked into a small strip mall and if you overshoot the traffic circle turn off (heading south on 209) as left hand entrances all have islands to discourage left hand turns (for safety). It was a bit pricey at $50+ for two, but very tasty!
Food was great! Eggs were a little salty on one dish, but the other dish we had the omelet was perfect. Chef even came out to see how the food was toward the end of our meal which I haven't had that done in a dining experience in a long time. The service was okay, waited at the counter for to ask for our Pita bread and 4 employees were just standing there talking to eachother before acknowledging me. The atmosphere is perfect, light music, simple decor, very open and spacious. Lots of natural light. Would definitely recommend for a brunch. Wil be back to try more of the lunch menu. Oh and the lattes are AMAZING.
Stopped in while passing by to get brunch with my family of four. We have two kids and they had no juice options, just soda. We ordered my kids hot chocolate from the menu, but it was cold. I had a latte which was good, my husband ordered a coffee, but you do have to go to the counter to make it your way. My kids wanted eggs and bacon, they only offer turkey bacon and the eggs were a thumbs down. My daughter wanted over easy and got sunny side up and my son got scrambled but they were seasoned with something other than salt and pepper so he wasn’t a fan. I got a waffle and it came out cold. The French toast that my husband ordered was good. We didn’t get asked if we wanted refills of any of our drinks or if we wanted anything else. I wouldn’t recommend this as a traditional breakfast/brunch spot or for a family to sit and eat. It’s pretty and hip—there were people sitting and working on laptops, but for the price I most likely wouldn’t stop again. 🤷♀️
