order to pickup

Whisked to order

Ceremonial-grade matcha, sifted and whisked by hand for every cup. Never poured from a jug.

Roasted down the road

Our espresso comes from a small roaster a few streets away, in fresh batches every week.

Any milk, same price

Oat, almond or whole. Choosing your milk should never cost you extra, so it doesn't.

Tenth drink on us

Nine stamps on your card and the next cup is ours. Paper card or online, your call.

the matcha ritual

Sift. Whisk. Pour.

No powder shakers, no pre-mixed jugs. Every matcha is made the slow way, which takes about forty seconds longer and tastes a world better.

1

Sift

Two scoops through a fine sieve, so there is never a lump in your cup.

2

Whisk

A fast zigzag with a bamboo whisk until a fine, bright green foam sits on top.

3

Pour

Over warm milk or a glass of ice, then straight across the counter to you.

our story

A small counter with a big morning

Perky started as a coffee cart at the Sunday market on Linden Row. People kept asking where to find us on Monday, so we found a corner with good light, built a counter and put the kettle on.

We still know most orders by name. We still sweep the step at seven. And we still think a good drink should make a morning a little brighter, not a little more complicated.

good to know

Questions we hear at the counter

Anything else? Ask whoever is behind the bar. We like a chat almost as much as a flat white.

Can I bring my laptop?

Of course. The long table by the window has plugs. On busy weekend mornings we ask laptops to share the space with the brunch crowd.

Is the matcha sweetened?

Do you have dairy-free options?

Can I bring my dog?

How does ordering ahead work?

Will you grind my beans?
